THE WASHINGTON POST – Count me among the people who pat themselves on the back when they carefully pack away food in the freezer, knowing there’s something to cook and eat in the future. That, my friends, is only half the battle.
Of course, there’s the whole issue of remembering what’s actually in there (I’ve been trying to track our inventory on a magnetic whiteboard, at least when my son isn’t insisting on taking it down to write on).
But you also need to figure out when and how to thaw it, and that can often be the one thing that tips the scales from timely convenience to time-consuming roadblock. Or worse.

CAMBRIDGE, MD (January 26, 2021) The Chesapeake Bay has a long history of nutrient pollution resulting in degraded water quality. However, scientists from the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science are reporting some improvements in the Choptank River on Maryland s Eastern Shore.
The Choptank is a tributary of Chesapeake Bay, and its watershed lies primarily in the state of Maryland, with a portion in Delaware. There are strong similarities between the Choptank basin and the Chesapeake as a whole, which enables the Choptank to be used as a model for progress in the Bay.
The Chesapeake Bay is an estuary which has undergone considerable water quality degradation from human impacts and nitrogen and phosphorus pollutants from the air and land that have impaired use of receiving waters for drinking and recreation, and result in algal blooms and hypoxia. Algae blooms occur downstream in the Choptank and Chesapeake, blocking sunlight and reducing oxygen after
Wine Conferences East of the Rockies Go Virtual in 2021
With the Covid-19 crisis still limiting or preventing in-person gatherings, many wine conferences and educational programs have changed to virtual schedules for enology, viticultural, and wine marketing/business meetings. While online sessions are obviously not the same as seeing and talking with speakers and other attendees in person, there are some advantages to “attending” virtual programs. Conference organizers have the option to include presenters based on their knowledge on topic under discussion, not how much it would cost to bring them to a specific location. And there certainly are a wide variety of virtual programs that anyone in the wine industry can attend, often at no cost.
Delaware Ag Week kicked off on Jan. 11 with a hemp webinar that focused on risk management.
This yearâs Ag Week event, which is sponsored by the University of Delaware, is being held virtually with sessions running until Jan. 22.
Tyler Mark, a University of Kentucky production economist, said that the competition is stiff for hemp growers. For producers of CBD oil, usually the most lucrative crop, pricing is based on quality, taste, dosing accuracy, legal status, contaminants, and presence of THC.
Oil production requires extensive monitoring of the crop throughout the growing cycle, and that the price of seeds is half the initial production cost, Mark said.
