Made in the USA has its limits

These days as much as ever manufacturers want to put "made in the USA" on products not only out of a sense of pride of country, but because it appeals to purchasers, potentially enhancing the product's value. But as any manufacturer knows, where a product is made is not as simple as it might seem.

A fuss-free grilled chicken that doesn't skimp on flavor

Sometimes we think too hard about the food we toss on the grill. Brine this, rub that, marinate for 12 days. Enough!

Grind your own grain

Most of us have been buying commercially milled flour for as long as we can remember. It's just not something we think about much these days. I'd venture a guess that most school kids have only a foggy idea where the powdery white stuff in the pantry originated (before the supermarket). The real shame of buying flour from the store is that freshly milled flour is rich with flavor and nutrients that get stripped away during large-scale processing. It all started during the Industrial Revolution, when mass food storage and shipping became the rage. To this day, commercial milling removes the "germ" of the grain, which contains healthy and flavorful fatty acids, in order to extend the shelf life of flour. Soon after whole grains are milled, those wondrous oils start to spoil, whereas degerminated flour can technically last for years without going rancid. The secret that many of our grandmothers understood, however, is that storage isn't a concern when you make flour at home, and the payoffs from grinding your own grain are plenty.

Tammy Wallner Bray

Tammy Wallner Bray departed for her welcome party in Heaven on March 28, 2020, at the Schneidmiller Hospice House of North Idaho. She was lovingly supported by her husband, daughter and son, who prayed and sang over Tammy as she took her final breaths. Her illness was brief, and in true Tammy fashion, once she decided that she was ready to go, she didn’t waste any time getting there. The heavenly reunion was surely a glittered fanfare with a rock and roll soundtrack.
