With all the food scares out there, it reminded me of a couple of years back we went to British Columbia skiing and I bought some frozen chicken fingers (who knew chickens had them?) and when I got back to where we were staying I noticed the chicken was from Thailand. I have nothing against them, but why did Canada have to import chicken from there? I tossed them out. Out here, we basically have tiger shrimp ( I am from the east coast so I know about gulf stream shrimp) and now I find out they are farm raised in Thailand. That does it for me with them. At least we get lots of fresh salmon and halibut from Alaska and local salmon. I am now checking where my food sources are coming from. I think we all need to boycott chinese goods like americans did the french winees after Sept. 11th. There, rant over.
The great thing about living here in Wisconsin is getting lots of German sausages. Buying bratwursts (Brats to us local yokels) is a time honored tradition in Wisconsin during the summertime.
We know that they are made right here, so we don't expect to find imports, and we don't.
They are trying shrimp farming her, putting them in the power plants ponds, warm water, so far it is working, fresh water shrimp and nothing is better that those good ole Gulf of Mexico shrimp.
Roomey and I were talking of just that this AM. Bless his heart, he’s no shopper, but did say it’s hard to tell where anything comes from now day, because the item may be made in China, Indonesia or where ever, but the notation on the package will only tell who distributes it.
It’s still morning, GOOD MORNING ALL. It’s beautiful here today, the sun is shining, the ground is a bit soggy, the grass is dry so Roomey is mowing. I’ll go out and check my veggies, am doing the laundry and masking woodwork for a paint job.
prairie, I’m just being recommended to the ENT Drs for an examination. The audioligist thinks I may have more than just nerve damage in the inner ear. I’ll be waiting for my appointment date from the ENT people now.
