7. SHIT!

I just bought a great big huge box of Milk-Bone dog biscuits. I looked all over the box to see if I could find out where they were actually manufactured, but saw only that they're a product of Del Monte.

When these are gone, there will be no more Milk Bones for my four pooches.



TG, looking for the recipe for home-made dog biscuits.. .. . .

25. Here you go:

Homemade Dog Treat Recipe
Milk Bone Dog Biscuits
3/4 cup hot water
1/3 cup margarine
1/2 cup powdered milk
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
3 cups whole wheat flour

Variation: increase margarine to 1/2 cup and add 2 teaspoons sugar
In large bowl pour hot water over the margarine. Stir in powdered milk, salt, and egg. Add flour, 1/2 cup at a time. Knead for a few minutes to form stiff dough. Pat or roll to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut into bone shapes. Bake at 325 degrees for 50 minutes. Cool. They will dry out quite hard. Makes about 1 1/4 pounds of biscuits. Costs around 30 cents per pound.

And here's a page with loads of dog buscuit recipes:

These are the types of things we should be focusing on here, not the circular firing squad that's been set up for so long.

[Edweird]

13. Actually what you are calling the 'circular firing squad' is in fact very related to this.

It's about the health and financial survival of the non-financial elites.

[DFab420]

24. what is...

non-financial elites?

the labor union that is getting shafted? I don't think elites would be the word I would attach to them

[kctim]

10. Did Del Monte say why they were moving to Gloucester?

[Xicano]

17. Sorry kctim I didn't get any info to answer that question.

Just this memo and a message at one of our union meetings giving a bit more details, but, I don't remember if they mentioned a time-frame.

[kctim]

21. Ok, thanks

20+ years is a long time and was just curious about their reasons.

[Xicano]

20. Why? The east cost isn't like the west coast in that.....

Unfortunately the ILA doesn't have contract jurisdiction up and down the cost. Many ports on the east coast are non-union. So I'm going to assume where they are planning to move to is probably non-union.
