Greens and grains summer and fall. Meat and fat --dried, smoked, brined, the winter and spring staples.
Vegans used to die off in cold latitudes, we were spared the green revolution pouring fourth from overheated lodgings.

We will fight in the streets and do everything we can for retention but I think the expectation that I have is we will lose some share in the video side," said Angelakis.

Deliciously digital
Before uploading your favorites to a digital recipe box, chew on these considerations ...
A recipe box jammed with handwritten treasures is about as quaint in this digital age as a pen-and-paper diary kept under lock and key.
Still, grandma's recipe box never had a server problem. And she certainly didn't risk having her favorite cookie recipe end up in someone else's cookbook.
As food Web sites grow in popularity and sophistication, more home cooks are taking advantage of online features that allow them to create and share digital recipe boxes. Users and administrators of these sites - among the best known are Allrecipes.com, Epicurious.com and Recipezaar.com - say they offer easy, secure, space-saving ways to store family recipes.
But what happens when the site's server crashes? What happens when you die and take your password with you? And what rights do you give up when you upload your family's favorite recipes?
Here's what you should know before you upload that recipe: User agreements
Many of the Internet's massive databases of free recipes encourage user-generated content, Web-speak for getting you to upload Grandma's chocolate chip cookie recipe.

A best-selling novelist and former prosecutor is scheduled to speak to death penalty foes and lawmakers today about how he came to oppose capital punishment after studying the issue while serving on an Illinois government panel.
Scott Turow, author of mystery suspense novels such as Presumed Innocent as well as Ultimate Punishment, a nonfiction book about the death penalty, will speak at 6 p.m. in the President's Conference Center at the Miller Senate Office Building in an event organized by the advocacy group Maryland Citizens Against State Executions.
The speech, which is free and open to the public, comes as lawmakers in Annapolis continue to debate the repeal of the death penalty.

San Francisco man's streak is just plain super
Of course, it wasn't called the Super Bowl back then, it was the AFL-NFL World Championship Game, but whatever it was called, "she wasn't impressed - either with the game or with me," he said. Since then, Jacobson hasn't missed attending a single Super Bowl. He's one of a handful of lucky guys who can say that. Bart Starr to Max McGee? Jacobson was there. Joe Namath fulfilling his bold guarantee and upsetting the Colts? Yup. John Mackey's 75-yard touchdown on a pass that was tipped twice? Kicker Garo Yepremian's botched pass? Jackie Smith's end-zone drop? John Riggins' 43-yard ramble on 4th-and-1? Jacobson saw them all. What's more, the 68-year-old San Franciscan claims he has not paid more than face value for a ticket. He didn't get the girl after that Chiefs-Packers game in 1967, but it's not true that he couldn't get arrested at the Super Bowl.
2 dead, suspect at large after shooting at missionary training campus
We had assistance from Wheat Ridge Police Department as well as Jefferson County Sheriff's Office," said Medina. "Unfortunately, he remains at large at this moment."
The suspect is described as a white male, about 20 years old, who was wearing a dark coat. He may have been wearing a dark beanie or skull cap, may have had a beard and may have been wearing glasses.
"The young man – I don't know who he is; I don't think [the victims] knew him – but he must be going through a lot personally in his own life to do something like this," said Warren.
Police say they do not know whether the shooting was random or if there was a motive.
Warren says YWAM has open worship times when the public is allowed on their campus.
"Our belief is that only God is the judge and our place is to forgive and that's a difficult thing to do, but really, I think it's the right thing to do," said Warren.
