Accurate Source for Meat Safety Information
One of the things about the media that bothers me the most is how much inaccurate information is being shared so freely with people most especially about our livelihood and the industry we work hard for. When I took a journalism class in high school for the high school newspaper, I was taught to report…

Cheat Nights
At our house, when the cook that’d be me gets a night off, we call it cheat night. I’m not entirely sure how the nickname stuck but I think it had something to do with me commenting once that I was going to cheat on cooking supper and everyone was going to have a bowl…
