This one incident made our “towing and road-side assistance” add-on to our insurance policy TOTALLY worth it!

Turns our we had a stuck fuel-gauge; it said we had 1/8 tank of gas, when really we had NONE! You know how fun it is to fill a gas tank while atop a flat-bed tow truck? We do!Tweet

After an uptick in salmonella infections, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Food and Drug Administration traced the source and determined it was most likely eggs from Wright County Egg. The company says it is working to determine how the shell eggs are being contaminated.

The new recall covers eggs branded as Albertsons, Farm Fresh, James Farms, Glenview, Mountain Dairy, Ralphs, Boomsma, Lund, Kemps and Pacific Coast and are marked with a three-digit code ranging from 136 to 229 and plant numbers 1720 and 1942, the company said.

The earlier recall covered the Lucerne, Albertsons, Mountain Dairy, Ralph’s, Boomsma’s, Sunshine, Hillandale, Trafficanda, Farm Fresh, Shoreland, Lund, Dutch Farms and Kemps brands and are marked with a three-digit code ranging from 136 to 225 and plant numbers 1026, 1413 and 1946.

The plant number beings with “P – ” and is followed by the three-digit code.

Both recalls affect eggs packed in several different sized cartons, from a half-dozen to 18-eggs. Only shell eggs are affected by the recall, the company said.

Luckily, this is fairly regional, and there’s not report of it hitting Utah, but it’s things like this that makes me happy we have our own little flock of chickens in our backyard.

The supermodel recently told Harper’s Bazaar UK that she thinks there should be a “worldwide law” requiring mothers to “breastfeed their babies for six months.” Her reasoning? “Some people [in the USA] think they don’t have to breastfeed, and I think, ‘Are you going to give chemical food to your child when they are so little?’”

She later clarified, “My intention in making a comment about the importance of breastfeeding has nothing to do with the law. Becoming a new mom has brought a lot of questions, I feel like I am in a constant search for answers on what might be the best for my child.”
