PARANOID PIG FEARS DIRT (EDGAR SEZ "DIRTY TRICK"

Mud-Shy pig given wellies
11 JUN 2008
A pig in North Yorkshire, England, has been diagnosed with mysophobia, a fear of dirt, and her owners have gone to extreme measures to combat the phobia.

Cinderella’s owners, Debbie and Andrew Keeble, were baffled by her reluctance to hit the mud when she and her siblings were let out into the fields. "When the batch ventured away from their mother, Cinders just stood at the edge of her sty shaking while the others explored," said Debbie. "We thought it was just that she didn't want to leave the sty or the sow, but we soon noticed if we moved them to where there wasn't any mud, she happily left it and roamed around without any nonsense."Andrew, added, "We scratched our heads a bit but then we thought, we wouldn't go in the mud bare-footed, so why not try some wellies?" Cinderella's green wellies designed by a friend of the couple, are made of rubber and have been created with no footwell so that her trotters slip straight in. Cinderella took to her trotterwear so keenly that she has been recruited to act as a mascot in the campaign to highlight the plight of British pig farmers.

BUFFALO GRILL WON'T YA COME OUT TONIGHT

Laurie's Cooking Tip:"Low and Slow is the Way to Go!"
Buffalo meat is lower in fat than beef; therefore, it cooks faster than beef and can become dry if over cooked. That's why it's important to always remember "Low and slow is the way to go!" As a general rule, buffalo should be cooked about 50 degrees lower than beef, but for the same amount of time. Also, buffalo meat is best when cooked from rare to medium. Never cook directly in a flame. The Buffalo Guys Buffalo Meat can be substituted in ANY recipe that calls for beef. You'll love cooking with our buffalo meat and you'll love the taste!
Happy Cooking!
