By H. Rockwell & Son Ahoy! Welcome aboard Noah's Ark! "Could you please be more specific?" is often asked of someone using too many generalities when explaining a familiar (to them) topic. I fear that perhaps I, too, may have glossed over needed details when expounding on certain subjects. One in particular that comes to mind is "meat chickens." True, any chicken can be used for meat, but the meat will not all be equal! Following is a more "in depth" explanation of some variables.

"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" and a white-shelled egg by any other color would still have the same inside make-up! It's true! The only physical difference concerning eggs is in the color of the shell. Yes, there are people who say brown eggs taste better, and that probably is true in many instances, but the taste difference comes from the diet of the hen, not the color of the shell. Ahoy!

Good verbal communication is contingent upon a fluent command of the native language. Nowhere is this more crucial than when speaking about a subject in which you claim to have expertise. Ahoy! Welcome aboard Noah's Ark.
Every pastime/profession has a "language" particular to it, and any participant should acquire a level of fluency in said "language." Ahoy! Welcome aboard Noah's Ark!
"If you're going to talk the talk you had better be able to walk the walk" is sound advice for anyone long at loquacity and short on service. However, if you plan on successfully pursuing a profession, hobby or avocation you'd better be able to 'talk the talk' before you attempt to "walk the walk." by H. Rockwell & Son Ahoy!

"Jack of all trades, master of one" is not necessarily a derogatory description. On the contrary, it describes someone who can turn their hand to almost anything with varying degrees of success. Ahoy! Welcome aboard Noah's Ark!
As winter wears on and February fast approaches thoughts turn to espying the first harbinger of Spring! A robin, red-winged blackbird, or flowering crocus are what the majority look for, but those with agricultural ties know that mail order seed catalogs and "chick days" at local feed establishments are the true signs that spring's re-growth, re-birth, and re-newal will once again re-appear!

Ahoy! Welcome aboard Noah's Ark! "Just the facts, please" is the familiar, repeating quote from the old "Dragnet" series. In other words they wanted the basic truths without dramatic flair or embellishment to use as the foundation blocks for building and ultimately solving a criminal case. Last week I discussed some of the general differences between cow's milk and goat's milk. This week I want to go into "just the facts" and list the basic nutritional properties of goat's milk versus cow's milk By H. Rockwell & Son
Ahoy! Welcome aboard Noah's Ark! Preconceived ideas are common everywhere. However, upon closer examination, you will discover that even those about the same topic will vary with locality! Take milk, for example. In western society cow's milk is what comes to mind, but in the middle east goat's milk is what goes on your cereal. In fact (much to the astonishment we westerners feel) worldwide, goat's milk is consumed by more people than cow's milk! While they are similar, they are also different. Following is a brief comparison of the two. Taste is a hard thing to describe. Some people prefer the taste of goat's milk, others the taste of cows' milk. Many say that goats' milk is slightly sweeter than cows' milk while others believe they have basically the same taste. It is a fact that methods of processing, packaging, and pasteurization as well as the diet of the animal producing said milk can affect the taste of milk. |
