Hi Nancy,

Definitely.. and since the main feed they use for cattle on those huge
industrial sites is corn, it makes more sense.  She still can't go near corn at
all.. even cornstarch makes her have a reaction.

haha.. yes I know..  excuses excuses (vbg)

I guess I'm the kind of person, that if I was a vegetarian would still eat
eggs, and still eat fish. (grin)  But I'm not a vegetarian that's for sure.

Yes, it was better after a bit.  Last night was darn cold though.. waiting for
it to warm up a bit before I go check the damage.  Hopefully it won't be bad
for my lettuce.  I cover things with sheets when we get nights like last night,
so they should be OK.

That is a major drag.. wasn't around here at least.

I remember crocus coming up through the snow in SE Ny when I was growing up..
maybe that wild stuff was just more hardy back then?  Or the ground itself is
warmer down that way (Orange County, NY).

Oh no, don't give them ideas!!!! Lol... I get grossed out by some of the
recipes here hahahaha

They are often substituted in things like quiche, but the texture can be a bit
different.

The peccorino gave the sharp taste you'd want with the tomatoes, and the
parmesian leveled that out so it wasn't real intense..

Take care,
Janis
