Summer Warmth Also Strong Breeding Time For the Smallest of Critters that Can Really Get You SICK!

AmericanPressTravelNews--June 19th, -Goose Holler’ Farm, TN.–Bob and Barb “On the Road Again”–Well, really didn’t want to have the occasion to write this, however I am back home and starting to feel stronger again. So, whats the story? After eating out on the road again, this time in N. Georgia, we happened upon a likely restaurant that had a car parked out front during normal lunch hours. The operative words here are “a car.” Hint when a place in a very touristy town has “a car” during normal operation times, go else-where and find a place with at least 6 or more out front. Also, I try not to eat things that are covered or mixed with cheese, cheese can hide lots of bad stuff (that’s how French Cuisine got started) but this time I let my guard down and had a Phili-steak. The steak lasted for a few days in my highly compromised taste-buds, along with the rest of my body stasis, as the food poisoning did too! OK! I now have that off my nasty bucket list to tell you about. Eat Kosher, promise, you’ll thank me for it!

There are no images to go along with this! What would you expect?

Footnote: Now back at the farm, eating fresh off- the- vine, cherry tomatoes, my garlic, and home baked bread with Israeli olive oil, feeling like a million already!

 

The Florida Keys, Please! For Real Fishermen, a Trip To America’s Caribbean Islands Is a Must!

Jennifer picked a winner of a dish too! Shrimp rice and Louisiana sausage. Looks so good I can eat again with someone else's stomach!
Eating fresh seafood’s in the Keys is dangerous! Why? After swooning to tastes that you just don’t find in a frozen thawed seafood place and fried to make it somewhat palatable, the fresh dishes in many Keys restaurants, rule!!! Its hard to go back to the garbage you had gotten used to on the mainland!

 

AmericanPressTravelNews.com-June 9th, Key Largo, FL.-Correspondent Brian E.on a “tear” to find his snapper dinner! When I go fishing, I look for fish that I can broil or saute fresh and sweet au natural! When my parents come down from further north in Florida, to visit, I make sure they can get a snook filet or a fine snapper baked up for them! I was raised in the Keys, and now I find myself going back to where I had the best time of anyone’s life; the Keys! 

For snapper or any predator, live or fresh shrimp, pilchards and the best, baby mullet are best baits! My success in catching, not just fishing is in direct correlation to being able to match the hatch, so to speak! Jigs, and other artificial’s such as spoons in active bait fish colors like lures from Al’s Goldfish, work great too, and often I just cannot get the baits I want, so I do rely on these artificial’s that really mimic the real thing, so I don’t go home empty handed for dinner! So much fishy waters, so many species to target, so many sunsets to relax in. Diane and I can’t wait to once again spend full-time in the Keys again!

A VIP Keys fishing buddy!
Even President Bush remembers using Al’s Goldfish Lures. He was a fan of Gaddabout Gaddis and watched the Flying Fisherman TV programs as so many dyed- in -the- wool anglers did too!

Coffee From the JumpinGoat Coffee Roasters

P1060035American Press Travel News-May 29th, Nacoochee Village, Helen, GA.-Bob and Barb “On the Road Again.”

65 to 70-countries in the world grow coffee, and coffee grows best between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. So what does that mean for us caffeine addicts? Well, as scientists have discovered more than 800 different aromatic compounds in coffee there’s no wonder addicts like us drinkers (150-million Americans alone)  really pay attention to an early morning, aromatic and tasty wakeup-call from “siren” coffee!

Oil is the first most traded commodity and coffee is 2nd. For over a thousand years coffee has been consumed, world-wide! Drinking a single cup of coffee provides 300 phytochemicals, which act as anti-oxidants and stay in the body for up to a month. Coffee beans are actually berries and it takes about 40 beans to make one Espresso cup. Dark coffee has less caffeine than from a light roast set of beans. Legends have it that goats actually discovered coffee berries (beans). Seems a herder noticed his goats jumping and running around happily and the herder noticed they had been eating coffee berries. More on coffee nest week, got to go get me a cup so I can jump around some more before I sit down in front of the computer again!
