• A Yank attempts Southern gravy

  
  lookingforlissa — Authority: 422
  Well, I’m sort of a Yank, anyway.  I was born in Texas and lived seven years in Maryland before moving to MA (and doing college in NC), but most of my cooking experience is Yankee-style. So I needed the step-by-step details and pictures from FarmMom before I could attempt a real milk pan gravy: Copying ...

• Do dogs love us?

  
  Retrieverman's Weblog — Authority: 436
  Source . If dogs are pretending to love us, then they are damn good actors. *** I have some issues with Masson’s work. I would have loved it if he’d included a description a dog preying on some animal in Dogs Never Lie About Love . He covers every part of their natural behavior but that one. If you see a ...

  Science & Soul — Authority: 104
  I’m all ranted out for now, so I shall bring this series to a close.  I have hinted at a number of things we, the average consumer, can do to improve the system.  So, to finish off the series, I am posting a list created by a professor of Environmental Studies, Dr. Richard Andrus, which I think is completely ...

  Here are some tidbits that have been floating through my head:-I just had a really healthy salad and hard boiled egg but ruined it by having a heaping helping of rice pudding that Nani made.

  Its not every day you come across a blog/site dedicated just to cats. Why is that? We know cats are the most regal animals in the animal kingdom - after all, werent they worshipped as Gods by the Egyptians ? Hey, those Egyptians obviously knew something we dont.

The vet said everything looked pretty good but our little man weighed in at 64 pounds which means this guy is overweight.I feel like such a bad puppy mama, I totally thought that he was lookin good for a bulldog. ...

Most of our ...

• It’s been a good week for the genomes

  
  Agricultural Biodiversity Weblog — Authority: 431
  Cucumber . Tomato . Pig . Horse . A veritable cornucopia of crops and livestock. And from it will doubtless emerge fascinating scientific insights. “[H]orses have a newly forming part in their genetic make-up which shows the evolutionary process in action in a way that has not been seen before.” “[N]ew ...

• Another look at the Goyet cave “dog”

  
  Retrieverman's Weblog — Authority: 436
  Nearly a year ago, I wrote about the discovery of a canine skull in the Goyet Cave in Belgium. This skull had the distinctive features of a dog skull, but  when it was dated, it was found to be 31,700 years old. The next oldest accepted dog remains date to 14,000 years ago and were found in Russia. The ...

• So, farewell then, Claude Levi-Strauss

  
  Agricultural Biodiversity Weblog — Authority: 431
  Like the Archaeobotanist , I too was astonished by the news that Claude Levi-Strauss had died today because I was not aware that he hadn’t died many years ago. Rather than explain why a blog about agrobiodiversity should mark the passing of a centenarian and seminal anthropologist, let me just urge you to visit ...

  Science & Soul — Authority: 104
  Time to get back on the horse after a week of midterms. Nitrogen was the primary limiting nutrient in terrestrial ecosystems.  Nitrogen levels could be increased by using composted organic material, but that took a long period of time and was hard work.  Keep that in mind.  World War II is raging and ammonia is ...

• More accounts of friendly wolves and wolves and dogs hanging out together

  
  Retrieverman's Weblog — Authority: 436
  Check this out . Most wolves that exist today fear people above all things, and if a dog, coyote, or strange wolf pops up in a pack’s territory, it is dead.

• Radishes

  
  Seeds Aside — Authority: 107
  All tubs on the picture below are radishes, the big one isn’t a turnip but a true radish root, from a giant variety. I really enjoy neighbouring organic farms, and moreover that the farmers decided to fill their market gardens with many rare vegetables and roots. They offer a great diversity and of course, increase ...

• The relationship between the Beothuks and wolves

  
  Retrieverman's Weblog — Authority: 436
  The Beothuks were the indigenous people of Newfoundland who were living there in the early colonial period. Contrary to what you may read, the Beothuk probably did not own dogs . There are no archeological records of dog remains near Beothuk settlement, and most of the earliest accounts of the Beothuk make no ...
