"It has an earthy flavor." Me, a ranch kid: ahh, like a freshly harvested potato or carrot. A hint of earth. What it actually tastes like: fresh cut, green grass. How do I know what that tastes like? Ranch kid. Curiosity. Lawn mower without a guard. Hey, my cousins tried the pet food. #foodie

Family Emergency Preparedness Grab and go snacks like granola bars, trail mix, dried fruit, and beef jerky aren't the best for long-term nutrition but are fabulous to help give your body a quick calorie boost to keep your inner climate control going when the power goes out. #winter #safety

They say fire cleanses and that a phoenix will rise from the ashes, but they don't say anything about how much it hurt or how much it had to let go of before it gets reborn. It isn't just things. It's a part of your soul. #California #Fires #HowCanWeHelp
