I love the slow cooker, but I often feel it is misused when a piece of beautiful meat is tossed inside, and then smothered with a half gallon of cooking liquid. In my opinion, the liquid dilutes the flavor and dries the meat by drawing the best the cut has to offer out of it. That said, […]

Duct Tape
How I got duct tape in my hair. And why I’m leaving it there. Shannon Hayes It is two o’clock Saturday morning. Yes, I should be sleeping. The kids are sleeping down at the farm with Grammie and Pop Pop. Bob and I need to leave for our farmers’ market at 6:30. But I’m sitting in […]
Livestock Farming: Scourge of the Planet, or Victim of Bad Research?

Curried Cashew-Chicken Salad with Raisins and Cranberries

When a farmer is charged with animal neglect, who will stand with him?
I didn’t think this kind of thing happened anymore. I got the first phone call two weeks ago from a local reader. She told me there was a pasture-based farmer like me in the next county over who was being brought up on misdemeanor charges for animal abuse. I thought it was a hoax. Then […]
