One of my favorite books when I was a kid was "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn." In the beginning of the book, the main character Francie is sent to the butcher shop to buy $.10 worth of ground beef for her family's Saturday night dinner. Her mother insists that she have the butcher grind it in front of her instead of buying it off the plate, because you never know what might be in your meat if you buy it pre-ground. 
Yes, that's 75,000 pounds. The company has recalled the ground beef because of possible E. coli contamination, and the state of Colorado is urging consumers not to eat ground beef from the company and to throw it away.
The beef was distributed to several Albertson's stores in Colorado, and the store chain has removed all of the beef mentioned in the recall. Other products not mentioned in the recall are still on Albertson's shelves and are safe to eat.
Food Consumer.org has the full details on the recall, including a list of the products recalled and their dates and codes.
My high school boyfriend's mom used to
make this strange pasta dish she called "American Chop Suey." If I recall correctly, it was a dish she grew
up eating in the Fifties. There is nothing Chinese about it so perhaps the "chop suey" refers to the
hodge-podge of ingredients found in the dish.
December may have peppermint bark, but have you thought to incorporate the taste of autumn into white chocolate with a rich pumpkin swirl?
