ShawZ Chocolate
|
Here at my factory in Calgary, AB., the chocolate making process begins with roasting cocoa beans. The beans are then cracked, de-husked, stone ground and refined for a week with sugar, cocoa butter and vanilla, and conched in my commercial kitchen. The production timeline is a full 3 weeks before any of my chocolate is ready to be used for bars, bonbons, bulk sales, etc.

OldMan River Bison Co.
|
|
|
Passion is the power behind this farm and their bison product! After talking to them on the phone, it wasn't long into the conversation they were telling us what makes them different.They do things VERY differently than the industry standard. Their buffalo are ONLY fed grass, the entire year, allowed to roam freely in pastures and never see the inside of a feed lot!
|
|
You can count on them! Their product is superior to most of the bison sold on the market today! Triple AAA Beef? Is Triple AAA Triple AAA anymore?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
They will be adding their products very soon! But just couldn't wait to let you in on our excitement to have such high quality buffalo being available to you very soon!

This rare, vibrant heirloom corn
is the work of a Dust Bowl farmer with Cherokee roots
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
TIL: Glass Gem is a beautiful and rare variety of heirloom corn (aka calico, flint, or "Indian" corn) that looks like candy, or maybe beads (previously). It was developed by Oklahoma farmer and breeder Carl 'White Eagle' Barnes and was originally only distributed to tribal members. Barnes, who passed in 2016, was half-Cherokee, half-Irish-Scotch and had a passion for native seed-keeping.
|
|
|
The Seed Remembers
|
|
|
|
|
|
Through being of service with the seeds, Carl awakened to the more esoteric nature of corn and its mystical relationship to human beings. This led to further insights, which he shared widely, inspiring many people over the years. His philosophy and teaching could be summed up in three words he repeated so often — 'The Seed Remembers'.

Simply Perfect Pancakes
Substitute Barley flour in place of All Purpose flour!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Malt, rather than sugar, is what sweetens most food-service (i.e., restaurant/hotel) pancake mixes. For that typical "diner" taste, try malt in your pancakes instead of sugar.
