Powdered milk is severely underrated. Keeps forever and is so versatile.

If you are giving your backyard flock a salmonella vaccine, first have their waste tested to make sure you give the birds the correct vaccine or have them given both kinds or a vaccine that protects against both. Not all vets in all areas are knowledgeable about poultry and even those that are may only know the bare…

What kills me (and literally kills some animals) is that these people don’t do proper research before buying these animals and then don’t turn to real reference materials or resources.

The vaccines help, but are only one part of the solution. Proper waste management is absolutely key as is a robust bio-security program.

Most of this happens because people don’t have the right setups for their birds. Common guidelines for backyard chickens are based off the practices of larger farms where chickens are a commodity (not a pet) or off of practices from long before people knew what salmonella was.

The shot a day could have an impact on the gut biome which in turn could have an impact on overall health and longevity.

You can build resistance to a particular strain of Salmonella. With plenty of space for the birds, good disease management, and raising them more as a pet, you can vastly mitigate the risk of getting sick.

Latinx actually originated in Puerto Rico. Basically it was used in some niche Spanish speaking LGBT online communities way back when putting an X in words made them cool and rad and stuff. It wasn’t really meant to be spoken. It was dismissed by most of the Latin community outside of a few activists and some…

Chad qualified for $3.6 million in tax incentives from the California Film Commission if it moved to CA (from Vancouver). So that made the renewal decision a lot easier for TBS. Overall the ratings in S1 are on par with S16 of American Dad, with Chad lower in the demo. Expect Chad to get canceled after S2 unless the…

Just wait till you try making caramelized onions on the grill. You need non-stick foil and to watch the temperature, but you can get some really nice flavor from the wood/charcoal.

It is the packets that are facing manufacturing bottlenecks. There is still ample supply of the actual goo you slather on the dead birds and fried potato carcasses. You can buy bottles online or at most major grocery stores in the US.

People experience sour and bitter flavors differently as they age, with kids being way more sensitive to sour and bitter.

My guess, since the author didn’t get into how individual stores within a chain can vary from in quality between rich and poor areas, is that she’s only been to a HEB in a nicer neighborhood.

You can buy Gros Michel bananas from a number of growers such as: https://miamifruit.org/products/gros-michel-banana-box-pre-order

Gift giving is a big thing in Japan. Fruit is often considered a luxury item and given as gifts. There is an entire culture of growing the best, most expensive fruit. Melons can be quite expensive, especially the square ones, as can any top of the line fruit. At $10 that banana is pretty cheap.

PFOA and PFOS are no longer manufactured in the US. However, they are still produced internationally and if something contains them, it can still be imported and sold in the US. You can still find them in stuff like paper, packaging, coatings, rubber, textiles, carpet, leather goods, and plastics.

Used to have an actual mallard that was bigger than that. He was a rescue we rehabbed from a broken foot. Somehow he was able to fly despite being nearly the size of a Pekin. Pretty sure he broke his foot landing as his landings were rough. Were told he was found in a parking lot, so he probably mistook the pavement…

There is this:

The quick and dirty “fake fish” taco is shred mushrooms along with ground up nori, lemon juice, and salt. Cook in a neutral oil and add taco seasoning to taste. You’ll find it kinda fish like but the texture is probably not gonna do it.
