15. If you go to "Whole Foods" be sure to check their brand Frozen Veggies....

It's an eye opener.

Had a "to doo" with a manager returning frozen "Mixed Veggies" that were China/Mexico...

Be Careful with "Organic from China and Mexico" wherver you buy. In desperation I buy it and cook it...but..with Drought in USA in many "growing places" and our emphasis on IMPORTS...our food is not what we think it is.

I am SO GLAD FOR THE LABELING! ....but...cooking with it..well...

Also our CSA Supplier here in my Southern State has had the COLD WINTER we've all suffered through to deal with. She does her Winter Crops in Greenhouses...but, she suffered from the Freezes and her reports to us are heart breaking.

South Carolina still can manage to grow Kale and Collard Greens and they are doing an interesting thing by washing and processing like CA Veggie Growers are doing...but this Winter has even hurt SC with Ice Storms and Freezes.

I'm going sort of Kale/Collards (starving Southern Populations..both Black and White survived on those crops) and they are now the "NEW THING" with the Gourmet Breakout Restaurants.

I'm going Middle Eastern for Garbonzo Dried Beans with Creative Spices and there are some other stuff I'm looking into because we will have to eat from China and Mexico and who knows where else...but agree....Birds Eye, Green Giant and other staples we depended on are NOW...OUTSOURCED!

READ THE LABELS...READ THE LABELS.......It's all different these days.

And....have you eaten the New Rotisserie Chickens which are great for busy folks who need that "Take Out"...where there's little "Dark Meat" and the day after you buy it to have a sandwich you NOTICE...there's "no veins in these chickens" and the meat looks CLONED!...It's Weird ...those Chickens...

Look I know how to cook Southern Friend Chicken...(soak it in Buttermilk before you roll in flour and spices) to FRY.

These Chickens are CLONED...they don't have blood or veins!

Seriously... I'm sure someone will alert me for "CT" violation about Cloned Chickens...but, damn It..I've been Frying Chicken since My Grandma Taught Me...and these Chickens are "not right." Not RIGHT....my Frying Chicken Culture has Taught Me..
