Some of you may be seeing these headlines already in your morning news, but the avian flu virus (H5N1) has been detected in grocery-store milk; or more accurately fragments of the virus' RNA have been detected in milk. There is further testing underway to see if a viable virus can be cultured from any of the test samples, but the expectation is that the answer will be "No" (this is what pasteurization is for, after all). RNA fragments would be present even if the virus itself was killed.
https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/23/health/bird-flu-milk-fda/index.htmlAfter the events of the past few years epidemiologists and virologists are well-represented in my Twitter feed, and the consensus at present could be described as "this is concerning, but not yet alarming." The real threat (touched on in this article, and amplified in several I've seen elsewhere) is that the virus mutates enough to spread to hogs, either directly from cattle or after jumping back into birds. Viruses that adapt to hogs can then make the jump to humans, and in the (so far rare) cases when H5N1 has made that jump it has not gone well for the human involved.
That story just came on my local news within 2 minutes of reading your post. Scary.

I made this Dirty Martini Dip to take to a party today. It is so good! I tried it with potato chips and I could sit and eat them all day. Very easy--I think I'll be making this again!

Does this mean that my Prime delivery drivers are going to start wearing Hawaiian shirts?

I've used it for cooking/baking. I am not a big fan of peanut butter sandwiches, so a jar of peanut butter might last me 10 years. The powdered stuff is more practical for someone like me.

I'm no expert, but unless it is non-stick, I wouldn't worry about it. Non-stick cookware has a relatively short life and should not continue to be in use if it is scratched, chipped, etc.

Check out Pierre Franey's Low-Calorie Gourmet and Craig Claiborne's Gourmet Diet books. Are they completely low-fat? No. But they are definitely lower in fat and will give you some good ideas for how to cut fat and calories in your cooking.

That looks like my blade. I better check that recall, too.

Beautiful meals--thanks for sharing them. Did you manage to go by Rancho Gordo while you were there?

Even more proof that dishwashers are horrifically underpaid. Most of us customers have no idea about these things. I hope the dishes get rinsed thoroughly--I wouldn't want to ingest any of that stuff!

A friend now regularly gifts food to me. He brought me some red pepper soup he made. I garnished with micro arugula and crumbled bacon. Had it with Wheat Thins and pinot grigio. A warm scone (from a local Irish place) with TJ's cultured butter from Brittany and whipped cream (no clotted cream, so I did my best) was dessert.

I was another who had a mother who didn't like help in the kitchen, so if I ever learned anything about cooking from her, it was merely by observing from afar. I married at 18 and my poor ex-husband suffered through a few horrid meals (Hamburger Helper!!!) before someone gifted me a BH&G cookbook. And thankfully, we lived near enough to both families to go home for plenty of meals often.
