The other dark meat: Raccoon is making it to the table
By Lee Hill Kavanaugh | Kansas City Star
He rolls into the parking lot of Leon's Thriftway in an old, maroon Impala with a trunk full of frozen meat. Raccoon — the other dark meat.
In five minutes, Montrose, Mo., trapper Larry Brownsberger is sold out in the lot at 39th Street and Kensington Avenue.

So I was with the grandmothers today so I could finally learn how to cook Haitian and Vietnamese meals. I learned how to make Griot, which is a staple Haitian meal that's made with Fried Plantains, Fried chunks of pork and it's served with something called Pikleze, which is basically a really spicy coleslaw, and rice & beans. I also learned how to make Vietnamese Spring Rolls, Beef Noodle Pho, and Go Ro Ti.

WASHINGTON - No more wondering where your hamburger came from, or where your lettuce and tomatoes were grown: Shoppers can now see lots more foods labeled with the country of origin.
It's a law years in the making but timely, as China's milk scandal and the recent salmonella-tainted Mexican peppers prompt growing concern over the safety of imported foods.
Still, hold the import-bashing: Numerous outbreaks in recent years have come from U.S.-produced foods, like spinach grown in California.

The best part of spring and summer, in my opinion, is the array of berries. I just can't seem to get enough during the season. Even though they are available year round, they just don't taste the same.
