• When you hear the word “sweetbreads,” don’t think banana or pumpkin bread. It’s actually the culinary term for the thymus glands of a lamb, pig or calf, located in the throat and neck. Most often, the glands are soaked in salt water, then poached in milk, after which they are fried.

• Head cheese isn’t really cheese at all, but rather a mixture of the meat and tissue found on a pig’s skull, set in gelatin.

• Remember the old advertising phrase, “There’s always room for Jell-O”? How about a gelatin mold made with meat stock? Add cold pork, chicken, hard-boiled eggs and some vegetables, and you’ll end up with a concoction known as aspic. Although some cooks add unflavored gelatin to the mix for a firmer mold, traditional aspic uses the coagulated broth remaining after boiling an animal’s head and bones. turn the page for more!

EDIBLES (continued): • Another place you’ll see slimy gelatin covering a chunk of meat is when you open up a can of SPAM. This little tin contains chopped pork shoulder and ham meat, hence the name, Spiced Meat And Ham. First manufactured in 1937, the luncheon meat was a popular staple for soldiers during World War II. Since its invention, more than seven billion cans have been sold.

• At holiday time, many Norwegians fix a traditional dish known as Smalahove. This yummy dish is prepared first by torching the skin and fleece of a sheep’s head, removing the brain, then boiling the head for about three hours. Arrange some rutabagas and potatoes around it on a platter, and there you have your Christmas feast!

1221 Caprice Drive Castle Rock, CO 80109

• You’re not getting dessert when you order black pudding after a meal. Rather you’ll be served a sausage made up of animal blood, fat, rolled oats and spices. Depending on where you live, that blood could come from a pig, cow, sheep, duck or goat. Some recipes add chestnuts, sweet potato or barley to the mix. A yummy Asian snack, the pig’s blood cake, combines blood with sticky rice, fries it and serves it on a popsicle stick.

• The process of making Polish blood soup is a tricky one. The head of a live duck must be chopped off and its blood collected in the cooking pot. Throw in some vinegar, onions, celery, parsley, sugar and some dumplings, and there you have it! Some cooks like to add dried fruit, such as prunes, pears or apples.

• When folks down South talk about eating chit’lins, they are referring to chitterlings. This lip-smacking dish is the small intestines of pigs, boiled for several hours, then battered and fried and served with vinegar and hot sauce on the side.

• Ask for a plate of menudo, and what you’ll get is an order of beef tripe, made from the rubbery lining of the stomach of a cow, sheep, goat, pig or deer. Your favorite Mexican restaurant might garnish it with jalapeno peppers.

• No matter what you call them — Rocky Mountain oysters, cowboy caviar, Montana tendergroins or bull fries — it doesn’t change the fact that they are bull testicles, coated in flour and deep-fried.

The people in some states love this “appetizer” so much, they hold entire festivals around them, such as Eagle, Idaho’s “World’s Largest Rocky Mountain Oyster Feed” and Montana’s “Testicle Festival.”

Cat Q & A

Is Your Cat Protected?

FELINE LEUKEMIA VIRUS (FeLV) – Feline leukemia virus adversely affects the cat’s body in many ways. It is the most common cause of cancer in cats, it may cause various blood disorders and it may lead to a state of immune deficiency that hinders the cat’s ability to protect itself against other infections

Dr. James Olson - The Meow Doc

You can protect your “best friend” - We offer an accurate and fast screening test for feline leukemia. We recommend outdoor cats with a negative test result be routinely vaccinated and retested annually for this deadly disease. Please call our hospital to learn more how we can protect your cat from feline leukemia.

The Link Between Arthritis Pain and Weather

Cat Specialist Dr. James Olson, Dipl ABVP (Feline) Dr. Jennifer Olson 612 Atchison Way • Castle Rock CO 80109 303.663.2287 (CATS)

Changes in weather are well documented to have an effect on how arthritis signs are felt by humans and cats. Surveys of humans show as many as 93% of arthritis sufferers believe that weather affects their pain levels and 63% feel that weather is the main factor in their arthritis pain. Humans with arthritis often claim to be able to predict the weather based on their pain levels when the weather becomes inclement.

What weather factors increase arthritic symptoms (swelling of inflamed joints and stretching of joint linings and joint capsules)?

 Changes in barometric pressure, especially falling (low) pressure  Changes in temperature, especially falling, low temperatures  High or increasing relative humidity  Precipitation (rain and snow)  Storms (a combination of aggravating causes – for example: chill, damp weather when the barometric pressure is rising or falling.)

In addition, the spread of contagious diseases has a weather connection. In cats, upper respiratory diseases, feline distemper (panleukopenia), and feline leukemia (FeLV) & aids (FIV) have a link to weather and social activity.  Sunshine with rising barometric pressure  Low indoor humidity dries the mucous membranes  Changes in weather causing stress  Increases in population of neighborhood cats  Increases in outdoor stray cat contacts Cats are very sensitive to environmental change and can forecast earthquakes, storms, pollution alerts, tidal waves and many changes that affect our daily lives.

That doesn’t change the fact that it’s cow tongue.

• If you order geoduck off the menu, don’t expect to get an exotic poultry dish. It’s actually the largest burrowing clam in the world and is considered a delicacy in Asian countries, selling for as much as $30 per pound. It’s one of the animal kingdom’s longest-living creatures, at an average of 146 years, contributing to the amazing quantity of eggs produced by the female during her lifetime — five billion! The geoduck has a long meaty siphon it uses to suck in plankton when feeding. That portion of this mollusk is usually cooked fondue-style and dipped in soy or wasabi sauce.

• Folks in Sardinia, Italy, may change the way you think about cheese. Their casu marzu starts with a sheep’s milk Pecorino cheese but with one variable. Whole cheeses are left outside so that the Piophila casei or “cheese fly” can lay its eggs inside the cheese, as many as 500 eggs at one time. Once the eggs hatch, the larvae eat their way through the cheese, and their acidic digestive juices break down the cheese’s fats, resulting in a very soft cheese. There are usually thousands of little white worms in a casu marzu cheese ready for the market. It’s up to the individual diner whether to scoop out the maggots before eating.

• If your plate is filled with the Bosworth, Falstaff or Bedford Fillbasket varieties, you’ll soon be eating one of the most disliked vegetables, the Brussels sprout. This vitamin-rich cruciferous veggie belongs to the same family as the cabbage, collard greens, broccoli, kale and kohlrabi. Brussels sprouts were first brought to North America

by French immigrants settling in Louisiana around 1800.

Blue Tourmaline

Scott McQueen The tourmaline gemstone group offers gemstone enthusiasts a great variety of colors.

However, not all colors occur with equal frequency and they are not equally well known.

A pure blue tourmaline with a fervent, translucent, radiant blue is one of the rarest gemstones around. They are highly valued because they are quite scarce and incredibly beautiful. Additional value may come from what some think they do for the wearer. Gemstone therapists* say the blue tourmaline makes people both honest and tolerant.

Blue tourmalines have quite a complex structure so cutting them demands patience and experience, something few lapidaries have.

The inside of a tourmaline can have areas of tension that can cause the stone to crack while being worked on. A cutter can easily ruin a tourmaline by holding it the wrong way against his cutting-wheel. Once a tourmaline survives the cutting process it is a rather tough gemstone that requires little care.

If you’re one of the fortunate few who own a blue tourmaline – the pleasure will be all yours and yours for a very long time! *Did you know there was such a thing? Visit gemstonetherapy.com Scott McQueen is the owner of Pinetree Jewelers, Parker’s oldest jewelry store established in 1976. It is located at 11028 S. Pikes Peak Drive in Parker.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

by Samantha Weaver ¥ It was noted American wit Groucho Marx who made the following sage observation: “There’s one way to find out if a man is honest -- ask him. If he says ‘Yes,’ you know he is a crook.”

PROTECT YOUR FAMILY

SEE THE CRIMINALS BEFORE THEY SEE YOU!

¥ When the city of Los Angeles was founded, it was given the name “El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora de los Angeles de Porciuncula,” which translates to “The Town of Our Lady of the Angels of Porciuncula.” Back then, in 1781, there were just 52 settlers to start what is now the second most populous city in the country. ¥ When speaking of dead languages, Latin is the one that probably comes to mind most often. It’s not quite dead, though; it’s the official language of Vatican City.

¥ Those who keep track of such things say that a professional ballet dancer goes through about 130 pairs of toe shoes in a single year. ¥ The yo-yo became popular in the United States after it was marketed by Donald F. Duncan Sr., a businessman from Chicago, but he didn’t invent the toy. In 1928, Duncan was on a business trip to San Francisco when he saw Philippine immigrant Pedro Flores, who had gotten financing to manufacture the yo-yos and had trademarked the name, demonstrating how to use the toy. Duncan realized that the toy had the potential to be a huge success, so he paid Flores $5,000 for all the rights. Incidentally, the name “yo-yo” means “come-come” in the native language of the Philippines. ¥ If you’re like the average American, showers account for nearly one-third of your home water use. *** Thought for the Day: “Any reviewer who expresses rage and loathing for a novel is preposterous. He or she is like a person who has put on full armor and attacked a hot fudge sundae.” -- Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

TRIVIA TEST

by Fifi Rodriguez

Your diet-including what and how often you eat plays an important role in attaining and maintaining a healthy smile. Candy has long been associated with dental caries (cavities), but your teeth are at risk from more than just candy. Many foods and beverages, particularly those high in sugar, can set the caries process in motion.

CARING FOR YOUR TEETH AND GUMS Dental caries is caused

Licensed & Insured Certified Workmanship Commercial/Residential Remodel/New Construction Electrical Troubleshooting No Job too small

by a thin film of bacteria called â&#x20AC;&#x153;plaqueâ&#x20AC;? that coats your teeth.

When you

eat or drink, the plaque bacteria digest any sugar and produce acids that attack your tooth enamel.

contact with the enamel for some time after you

have finished eating or drinking. With repeated and

prolonged exposure to these acids, your enamel eventually can wear through, resulting in caries.

DIET AND YOUR DENTAL HEALTH Attention to your eating habits can reduce your risk of developing caries. Frequent snacking or sipping on sugar-containing beverages such as soda, juices, sports drinks - even flavored waters - creates an environment for decay because it exposes your teeth repeatedly to acid attacks.

Keeping an eye on the amount of sugar in your diet For example, fruits and vegetables

contain sugars naturally, while other foods have added sugars. You can minimize the risk of developing caries as a result of consuming sugar by limiting foods with added sugar to your diet.

Free Woman’s Hormone Seminar Women Business Owners Need Retirement Plans If you’re a woman who owns a business, you’ve got plenty of company.

In fact, women own more than 10 million U.S. companies, and women-owned businesses account for about 40% of all privately held firms Cindy Rose in the U.S., according to the Center for Women’s Business Research.

Clearly, the good news is that women like you are entering the small-business arena at a rapid pace. The not-so-good news is that you may be facing a retirement savings gap in comparison to male business owners.

To get a sense of this gap, consider these statistics: According to the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Office of Advocacy, 19.4% of male business owners have 401(k) or similar plans, compared with just 15.5% of women owners.

The percentage of female business owners with Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) is about the same as that of male business owners — but the men have more money in their accounts. The average woman’s IRA balance is about $51,000, compared with $91,000 for men, according to a recent report by the Employee Benefit Research Institute.

Although these figures change constantly with the ebbs and flow of the market, the difference between the genders remains significant.

One way to help close this savings gap, of course, is to set up a retirement plan for your business. But for many women business owners (and male owners, too), the perceived cost of setting up and running a retirement plan has been an obstacle. However, the retirement plan market has opened up considerably for small business owners over the past several years, so you might be surprised at the ease and inexpensiveness of administering a quality plan that can help you build resources for your own retirement — and help you attract and retain good employees.

With the help of a financial professional, you can consider some of the myriad of plans that may be available to you: Owner-only 401(k) — This plan, which is also known as an individual 401(k), is available to self-employed individuals and business owners with no full-time employees other than themselves or a spouse. You may even be able to choose a Roth option for your 401(k), which allows you to make after-tax contributions that can grow tax-free.

SEP IRA — If you have just a few employees or are selfemployed with no employees, you may want to consider a SEP IRA. You’ll fund the plan with tax-deductible contributions, and you must cover all eligible employees.

Solo defined benefit plan — Pension plans, also known as defined benefit plans, are still around — and you can set one up for yourself if you are self-employed or own your own business. This plan has high contribution limits, which are determined by an actuarial calculation, and as is the case with other retirement plans, your contributions are typically tax-deductible.

SIMPLE IRA — A SIMPLE IRA, as its name suggests, is easy to set up and maintain, and it can be a good plan if your business has fewer than 10 employees. Still, while a SIMPLE IRA may be advantageous for your employees, it’s less generous to you, as far as allowable contributions, than an owner-only 401(k), a SEP IRA or a defined benefit plan.

As a business owner, you spend a lot of time thinking about what needs to be done today, but you don’t want to forget about tomorrow — so consider putting a retirement plan to work for you soon.

Time Management

“I am just too busy to read my Bible!” That is a response I hear from many Christians, they get up early, they fall into bed late.

In between there is shuffling the kids of to this sport and to that function and to this activity, there is just no time in the day reading their Bible. People’s schedules today are so jammed packed, the demands we have so heavy that it seems difficult or maybe even impossible to give any attention to reading God’s Word.

But if the truth were really told, we don’t have time not to! When you take the time to put the Word of God inside of you, you become so full of the Word instead of the world, that when trouble does come, it is the Word that is the very first thing to come out of your mouth.

Listen to Joshua 1:8 (NLT) Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it.

Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.

We are all busy; we all have tremendous demands that are made on us every day. But God promises us right here, that if we will keep His Word in front of us, make His Word a priority in our lives, then we will know how to prosper and to succeed in all that we do. Now, that sounds like a time saver to me. Because we can be so busy, but just being busy does not translate into success. But putting God’s Word first, meditating and thinking on it, fixing our mind on it, makes it become a reality in our heart. And then God’s promise to you and to me, is that we will prosper and succeed in all you do.

I don’t know about you, but that sounds like a sure road to success to me!

I want to send out a personal invitation to all of our readers to come and join us Thursday Sept 22 @ 7pm, Friday Sept. 23rd @7pm, and Sunday Sept. 25th @10:30 am for Pastor John and Carla Cappetto from Faith Heights Church in Grand Junction Colorado.

Liability- This is your lawsuit protection. Most policies come standard with $100,000 but it’s usually worth it to increase it to at least $300,000. Doing so will normally only add about $2 a month to your policy and triples your coverage.

¥ On Oct. 4, 1927, sculpting begins on the granite images of presidents Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Roosevelt at Mount Rushmore in South Dakota.
