Thanksgiving dinner conversation....

As we gear up for Turkey Day next week, I thought I would pop a bit of knowledge into the back of your brain that you can share with dinner companions. 

As you sit at the dinner table with your group, you can casually say "Did you know that there are allowable amounts of insects in our food?"

"No!" your companions will gasp.

"Yes!" you will insist.  "I learned about it on this really great blog I read.  You should subscribe to it!"

So, if you don't believe me about bugs in your food, check out this FDA site that has all the information you need for your conversation (and probably a bit more.....).

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope today you take the time to reflect upon all that you are thankful for.

While I am overwhelmed with the number of amazing things in my life that I am thankful for, there is one I want to mention here.  I am so grateful for the people in my life, including all of you.  You provide me with the opportunity to educate others about insects and other arthropods.  When I was growing up and playing with bugs, never did I think that I would someday enjoy a job where I got to learn and teach about insects.  I am so fortunate to have a job that I love as well as an audience who cares to learn the information that I provide.  Thanks go out to all of you.  Have a joyful Thanksgiving!

And I'll leave you with the boy helping daddy haul firewood with one of his birthday gifts....
