It is 66 right now. Today started out rainy but quickly turned very nice. We have had temps in the 70's for a couple weeks but it is suppose to get cold tonight.

Hi Paul! You will love this board. It is truly the best cooking forum going.

I agree. The two most common ways of contracting Salmonella is cross contamination and not cooking the food to 165F.

My list usually centers around what coupons I have, store sales. I buy whatever meat is on sale and that is what I usually cook. For produce I try to buy what is in season. Right now it is butternut squash, kale and collards.
