Tobacco sales out at Wegmans

Wegmans has decided to stop selling tobacco products at all its grocery stores.

I’m of two minds on this, not being a smoker, I could not care less, but I dislike the PC view of the holier than though crowd.  Is Wegmans going to get rid of all the foods with High Fructose Corn Syrup and maybe the entire cereal and potato chip sections?  I think not.

Some of the videos are user-generated while others appear to be cooking shows uploaded to YouTube, but most of them are very detailed and extremely useful for on-demand instructions when you’re ready to make a new dish.

Abandoned lambs now have a home

Seven abandoned lambs now have a home in the Southern Tier. Staff at the Farm Sanctuary near Watkins Glen say a man in Ulster County brought ten lambs to his ex-wife’s house as a gift to his daughter, but they say he didn’t tell the women or provide them any way to care for the animals.

A large pit, bedded with coals, an hour with a knife, the lambs butterflied out on the coals, covered with wet burlap bags, 12 to 14 hours later, everyone bring a side dish, cause theres going to be some good eating!  Why all the hand wringing?

Wegmans recalls ground beef

Contaminated ground beef has forced all Wegmans and Hannaford Supermarkets to pull the product from their shelves. The meat, sold last month, came from Cargill Meat Solutions in Pennsylvania and may be contaminated with E. coli.

Sheesh. Alls I want is a fatty, about a pound of meat, with Jalepeno chunks, onion chunks, some spices cooked over a flame and put on a springy kaiser roll. Is it too much to ask for it not to kill my with diarrhea?
