Reading, Math, Coloring and Fun at PapaJan.com Decoding the Secret Language of Food Expiration Dates Americans tend to harbor dark suspicions about that forgotten can of beans in the back of the pantry, far past its sell-by date. If you’re like most consumers, you probably just toss expired items on the better-safe-than-sorry principle (unless, perhaps, it’s a Twinkie). But there’s a good chance many aged food remains totally safe to eat, according to a new report (PDF) that blames the flawed food-dating system for tons of perfectly edible food getting wasted each year. While many consumers consider the dates printed on foods a hard deadline, they actually indicate maximum quality or freshness, not safety, explains David Fikes, vice president in charge of consumer affairs at the Food Marketing Institute (FMI), a food trade group. “Producers want people to have the best experience of product,” he says. There’s a window after the “expiration” date when a product is still edible—it just won’t look or taste quite as good. • Pack date: This is the day the product was manufactured.

ICDL - International Children's Digital Library Cauliflower Soup I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Come closer now…come closer. Lean in. Okay, so I just made a big deal out of nothing. Keep in mind that while this soup may appear to have a lot of steps, there’s nothing difficult about it. Here’s what you’ll need: The Cast of Characters: Cauliflower, Carrot, Onion, Celery, Chicken Broth or Stock, Milk, Half & Half, Butter, Flour, Salt, Pepper, Sour Cream, and Parsley (fresh or dried). Wash 1 to 2 heads of cauliflower, depending on how chunky you’d like the soup to be. Just whack the head in half and get rid of the hard inner core and green parts. Then just roughly chop the cauliflower. You could be meticulous and cut the cauliflower into neat little florets…but why? Next, finely dice one carrot. I do the same to the celery: just cut it into strips, then dice. Same goes with the onion: first cut lines/strips… Then dice away! Then say the following word: Mirepoix, pronounced “mi-reh-pwah.” Throw in the carrots and celery… Stir it around to combine…

Story Cove - A Safe Place to Read Perfect Potato Soup I’m Pioneer Woman and I have a confession to make. Are you ready? Here goes. *Ahem.* *Clearing my throat.* *Singing a couple of scales to warm up I’m picky about potato soup. It’s true. It can’t be too creamy, with no variance in texture. It can’t be too lumpy. It has to be full of flavor or I’ll die a thousand deaths. And most of all…it has to make me close my eyes, sigh, and feel like everything till the end of time is going to be okay. But other than those things, I’m not the least bit picky about potato soup! Here’s how I make it: The Cast of Characters: Small Russet potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, milk, flour (not pictured, because I’m an airhead), heavy cream, salt, pepper (not pictured, for the same aforementioned reason), Cajun spice (ditto), parsley, and thin bacon. Gosh, I’m thorough with these Cast of Characters set-ups, aren’t I? Not. Start by slicing the bacon into small pieces… This is about six slices. Throw the bacon into a soup pot over medium heat… To dice! Cut them into sticks…
