  • A Yank attempts Southern gravy


    lookingforlissaAuthority 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 WeblogAuthority 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 ...

    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.

  • Another look at the Goyet cave “dog”


    Retrieverman's WeblogAuthority 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 WeblogAuthority 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 ...

    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 WeblogAuthority 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.

    Seeds AsideAuthority 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.

They offer a great diversity and of course, increase ...

  • The relationship between the Beothuks and wolves


    Retrieverman's WeblogAuthority Authority: 436
