Good morning, readers! Over the weekend I was supposed to go watch my niece in her Pom Pon competition over in Saginaw, but then the blizzard came through. I loved being on Pom in high school and just for laughs, here's a picture from my Junior year. Go ahead, have a good chuckle, I don't mind, that's the kind of stuff I do for you people. 🙂
- The other day I came across some Friday Food Flops, so I thought I'd post a link in case you haven't seen them. I'm sure I'll have more of these posts again soon…it's inevitable
when I'm in the kitchen.
- Here's what made me think of the flops above, it was this post from Jen at Big Binder who cracks me up: Reindeer pancakes.
- I'm wondering something — do you ever have trouble finding things here at the Kitchen Kop blog? I created this blurb in the side bar of my blog just for you: Can't find something on the KK site? CLICK HERE! That link explains all my best tips for navigating around. If that still doesn't help for whatever reason, email me: [email protected].
- Does the whole Paula Dean ordeal irritate anyone else? Check out this post from my friend Carl: Big pharma: rejoice! You have a new celeb in Paula.
- Another reason not to believe everything you hear: The mystery of the “Japanese poop burger” story.
- If you've always wondered about essential oils, and how exactly you can use them, last week's post is crammed full of great info. Don't miss all the helpful comments: Not hokey after all.
- Seriously, why can't WE have raw milk vending machines?! You can get candy and pop from vending machines after all! Here are a couple interesting articles about this: Interview with Polish raw milk vending machine maker, and Milk vending machine producer in Poland seeks partners abroad.

I’m especially annoyed at the Paula Dean thing — and I posted about it in a recent blog. https://www.cravenfanatic.com/2012/01/diabeteswhat-we-dont-know-can-kill-us.html
Specifically, why does the American Diabetes Association continue to get away with disconnecting diabetes from diet even after the mountain of research that’s been done incriminating carbohydrates– and sugar in particular?
Stanley Fishman says
Yeah, the whole Paula Deen thing does irritate me. Her cooking is full of sugar, mixes, and other factory foods, she even uses commercial doughnuts as a cooking ingredient, actually serving a hamburger on what appeared to be a glazed Krispy Kreme doughnut. Yet all the media blames her diabetes on butter and fat, which do not cause diabetes.
I also understand that she is being paid a lot to promote this diabetes drug, which speaks for itself.

I love the article about Polish milk machines!! I’m originally from Poland though I haven’t been back since I came to the US over 20 years ago. DH is from the Czech Republic and they have raw milk machines there, too!! Unfortunately, they closed the one closest to his parents’ house so we can’t have that anymore… but if it can be done in Poland, I hope it can be done in other countries of the EU!
Jen @ TheUnProcessed Kitchen says
Thanks for the shout out on the Reindeer! I also have to tell you that I WAS ON POM PON TOO!!! That was about the only way this girl was going to earn a varsity letter 🙂 Also I remember reading about milk a long time ago on this site and I couldn’t remember when, so I just googled it and it came right up. Someone was asking for a link about why to drink whole instead of skim {except now I think my son is casein intolerant so… anyway another story}. Happy Monday!!

Hey Jen, ditto on the Varsity letter – I tried playing softball my Freshman year and my family is still laughing about it. 🙂
Good job spreading the whole-not-skim-milk word!! Bummer about your son, I can’t remember if you do raw milk or not, but you may try that with him, some can and some can’t, or HEY, what about goats milk? That’s supposed to be really good for those with milk allergies, too… Just thinking as I type, as I’m sure you can tell.
