Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
How would you like to learn about raising chickens for eggs? Or growing herbs, shiitake mushrooms or chile peppers? Or possibly even how to make your own maple syrup or press your own apple cider? Thanks to the helpful folks at the Cooperative Extension Service, you can learn to do all these things and much, much more.
The Extension Service was actually renamed Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service (CSREES) in 1994, but it has it's roots in the 1914 Smith-Lever Act that founded it along with the Land-Grant University system. It's purpose is to "advance knowledge for agriculture, the environment, human health and well-being" and offering helpful information about a vast number of things is included in that mission.
Also available on their site are tips for home canning, curing a Virginia ham and making homemade cheese (a project I am itching to try).

I learned so much from them as a child, I can't believe I kind of forgot about them as an adult. That mozzarella cheese recipe sounds amazing, I think you should try it!
