Just beautiful. Thank you, Jack
Jamie,
Something I couldn’t hear yesterday on my computer speakers but comes out in my better quality bluetooth speakers this morning is the sound of running water that accompanies the cello.
Something I did, that I recommend, is to take this out in the backyard with your morning beverage. My gardens are finally getting established. The foxglove is beautiful right now, as are all my roses, and the hostas that I moved from KC are looking like they may be going to survive. I’m an impatient gardener

Great idea Jack. Think i’ll take my bluetooth speakers to the deck and entertain the neighbors
SPICE RACK UNPLUGGED
No script. No mercy. Just me yelling about 37 jars of forgotten flavor.
You might laugh. You might weep. You will definitely judge my paprika choices.
On April 21, the FDA suspended one of its programs that oversees the safety of dairy products nationwide. This week, Reuters reported on an internal email addressed to “Network Laboratories” from the FDA’s Division on Dairy Safety stating that the Moffett Center Proficiency Testing Laboratory is “no longer able to provide proficiency testing and data analysis.”
The FDA says it will continue to work with state and federal labs to ensure food safety. Additionally, prior FDA research has shown that pasteurization is effective in killing the H5N1 (Avian flu) virus, and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) states that “consuming raw milk can lead to serious health risks, especially for certain vulnerable populations.”
Consumers can additionally seek brands that utilize independent, third-party testing. Some milk brands have their products evaluated by third parties to ensure they meet safety standards and are free from viruses and bacteria, even beyond what state and federal guidelines require. This information is typically available on the brand’s website, but if you can’t find it, don’t hesitate to reach out to the company for more information on its internal testing practices. A USDA Organic certification does not necessarily mean a product is safer or that it has undergone additional food safety testing.
*Costco, Kroger, and Aldi do 3rd-party testing, so I’ve read.
