Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Product Overview
Certified Organic Chia Seeds
Mild and nutty flavored, chia seeds were cultivated long ago by the Aztecs and the Maya. The name "chia" comes from the word chian, meaning "oily" in the Aztec language of Nahuatl. The special oils in this tiny superseed are omega 3 essential fatty acids, which may contribute to the maintenance of mental function and normal heart health. Healthy chia is also high in fiber and a good source of calcium, iron and magnesium.
The Sunfood Difference
Raw and certified organic, our chia seeds are completely pure and grown in a chemical-free environment just as the Aztecs and Maya did thousands of years ago. Free of additives or preservatives, they are a nutritional powerhouse that is versatile enough to be added to any dish.
Add 1-2 tbsp of chia seeds to smoothies, juices, desserts, cereals, yogurt, salads, or use to make puddings, porridge, sauce and dressings. To make chia gel, use one part chia to six parts water.
Certified organic raw chia seeds

Chelsea target Brazilian Willian
CHELSEA are ready to go head-to-head with Barcelona for Shakhtar Donetsk's £25m Brazilian forward Willian.
Carlo Ancelotti wants to continue revamping his Chelsea squad.
And the Blues boss has identified 22-year-old Shakhtar star as one of his next big-money targets.
Chelsea have been quietly keeping tabs on Willian since he helped the Ukranian side win the 2009 UEFA Cup.
And they are now set to step up their interest after watching him star during Shakhtar's run to the Champions League quarter-finals.
Barca boss Pep Guardiola has also placed Willian at the top of his wishlist.

Nelles Corner, Ont. (June 29, 2008) – Ricky Stenhouse Jr. increased his point lead to 130 over second-place Scott Speed after a solid performance north of the border. In his first visit to Cayuga Motor Speedway, Stenhouse Jr. looked like a veteran leading a total of 101 laps and claiming his seventh consecutive top-10 finish when he crossed the line in third.
Shortly into Saturday's only practice session, Stenhouse spun his No. 99 Ford in turn three causing damage to the left rear of the car. The No. 99 team worked feverishly to make repairs and by 3:30 p.m. they were sitting on pit road ready to qualify. Stenhouse made it around the .625-mile oval in 20.600 seconds while Just Lofton claimed the pole with a fast lap time of 20.424 seconds.
After a brief rain delay, the field took the green and Stenhouse broke into the top-five by lap 20. The first of 18 cautions for 106 laps flew on lap 37 and Stenhouse reported that the No. 99 Ford was a little free off the corner, but overall pretty good.
The field resumed under green flag conditions and Stenhouse continued battling with Matt Carter for the fourth-place position. By lap 82 Stenhouse had assumed the lead and the fourth caution flew on lap 88 when the No. 18 spun into the grass off turn two. Stenhouse entered pit road for the only time taking on four tires and fuel while the No. 99 team also made an air pressure and track bar adjustment. The No. 99 Ford returned to the track in 10th when the top nine cars remained on the track due to an earlier round of pit stops.
The field went green on lap 94 and Stenhouse rapidly made his way back to the front, picking off the competition one at a time. By lap 100 Stenhouse surged into the top-five where he would run the remainder of the day. He quickly passed Ken Butler III for fourth on lap 101 with the No. 1 becoming his next victim. Stenhouse assumed second place on lap 115 then on lap 123, leader Justin Allgaier spun, bringing out the sixth caution. Stenhouse immediately came over the radio to apologize stating, "He got loose first and I tried to brake but got into him a little bit."
Stenhouse had re-assumed the lead where he ran until lap 216. Stenhouse brought the field across the line for the 13th restart and the No. 16 and No. 44 joined forces to freight train the No. 99 on the inside. With 216 laps in the book, and rain on the horizon, crew chief Jeff Campey made the call to stay on the track. A series of cautions flew and Stenhouse was told to save fuel.
On old ties the No. 99 Ford was now starting to get loose off the corners but the tenacious 20-year old never gave up. Running lap times comparable with the leader, Stenhouse eyed second place but the laps clicked off and time ran out. Allgaier rebounded from his earlier spin to claim his first win of the season while Frank Kimmel crossed the line in second followed by Stenhouse in third. His finish marks the seventh top-five finish for Stenhouse who remains the only repeat winner in the series in 2008.
"All in all it was a good day for us," said Stenhouse following the 257-lap event. "I messed up in practice and the guys worked real hard to get the car back on track for qualifying so I have to thank them for their hard work. The track was actually pretty racy and there was a lot more passing than I thought there would be. Our No. 99 Ford Fusion was good all day; it really rolled through the corners nice and so it was fun to drive. It was a fun track to race and I think the fans got to see some good hard racing. I think we led the most laps which is cool but I would have liked to get that third win. I'm just glad to leave here with the points lead."
Twenty-one cars finished the race with 14 on the lead lap. Stenhouse's average finish jumps to 6.9 and his totals on the year include two wins (Kentucky, Pocono), seven top-five and eight top-10 finishes. The ARCA RE/MAX Series takes a two week break before returning to the site of Stenhouse's first career stock car win at Kentucky Speedway on July 18.

City commissioners are looking into the possible purchase of 30 acres of land near Winged Deer Park.
Roger Blakeley, Johnson City Parks and Recreation Department director, introduced a proposal to commissioners Thursday in which the city potentially could buy the property off U.S. Highway 11E/Bristol Highway for expanded recreational use at the city park.
The department is putting together information on the need for additional ball fields and the possible availability of land near the park and will communicate this to the City Commission at its Dec. 19 meeting.
Blakeley said a developer who owns 37 acres west of the park has an option on the land that ends at year's end. The 30 acres could be had for $13,500 an acre, but the developer still intends to build apartments on the remaining acres.
Commissioners asked that City Manager Pete Peterson and Public Works Director Phil Pindzola take a closer look at the land's status, including verification of price and costs for grading and other work. More information should be available in a few weeks.
"Really what we're doing here is considering whether we want to make this purchase, and that's all," Commissioner David Tomita said Friday. "I don't want anyone out there to think we have a plan in place, because this would be a $5 million to $6 million project. I don't think we're anywhere near ready to embark on anything other than learning more about a potential purchase, whether it be for general recreational use, softball fields or whatever.
Tomita and fellow Commissioner Jenny Brock said the per-acre price was enticing. They also both said the land is on a hill that would have to be excavated, and the cost of preparing it may be too much.
"It certainly is a good piece of property at a very reasonable price, but right now we're just looking into it further," Brock said. "We've asked for more information on it, and one of the biggest concerns is how much it would cost to excavate the land."
Though the property is on the same side of U.S. 11E and near the park, a church sits between the two. Brock said she has learned the church would be willing to work with the city and allow access from Winged Deer to the newly developed land if a deal should be struck.
Established in 1991, Winged Deer Park is a 200-acre district park that hosts a burgeoning number of softball leagues and tournaments. The park's current softball complex includes five fields with a 400-vehicle parking capacity. The fifth field was completed in 1999.
Major events held at Winged Deer Park's softball facilities include the USA/ASA Girl's 10 and Under Fast Pitch National Championships (2003, 2005, 2009, 2011) and the USA/ASA Girl's 14 and Under Fast Pitch National Championships (2006).
Other amenities at Winged Deer include three lighted soccer fields, Batter's Up batting cages, an 18-hole disc golf course, playground area, soccer concession building, half-mile walking track and paved fitness trails, which wind through the forested section of the park.
The lakefront area features two sand volleyball courts, picnic shelter with restroom, public boating access, green space, lighted handicapped-accessible boardwalk, amphitheater and a Festival Plaza multi-use area with restroom. The park's historical area features the Robert Young Cabin — one of Johnson City's oldest dwellings — the Massengil Monument and the James H. Quillen Historical Tree Arboretum.

British pixie dream girl Carey Mulligan has had her share of famous loves over the past year, including Shia 'The Beef" LaBeouf and Tom "Crazy Beard" Sturridge. But now the Daily Mail is reporting that she is engaged to Mumford and Sons songster Marcus Mumford…after only dating for five months! Girl, back it up a step. The two met at a Mumford gig in Nashville this February, and she accompanied them on a portion of their tour across America in a vintage train. Ahh, we can't take the throwbacky preciousness!
According to the article, the question was popped in an expensive English seaside hotel, and Carey spent the trip showing guests her massive engagement rock. "Carey looked like the cat who had got the cream," says one guest. "She was wearing a beautiful ring and didn't seem to mind who saw it. They were stuck to each other like glue. She was doing most of the talking and he was hanging on her every word." If all this is true, Zooey Deschanel and Ben Gibbard have serious competition for their "Ultimate Twee-Couple" crown.

A note to the White House political team – you probably shouldn't leak that the President will "get really angry" about something 12 hours before he does, as it tends to blunt the impact and ruin the element of surprise. Nevertheless, the President used the bully pulpit today to express urgency and frustration about the crisis in the Gulf. And you do have to give him a little credit for turning that blame inward on his own Administration.
I have to say, though, I did not appreciate what I considered to be a ridiculous spectacle during the congressional hearings into this matter. You had executives of BP and Transocean and Halliburton falling over each other to point the finger of blame at somebody else. The American people could not have been impressed with that display, and I certainly wasn't.
I understand that there are legal and financial issues involved, and a full investigation will tell us exactly what happened. But it is pretty clear that the system failed, and it failed badly. And for that, there is enough responsibility to go around. And all parties should be willing to accept it.
That includes, by the way, the federal government. For too long, for a decade or more, there has been a cozy relationship between the oil companies and the federal agency that permits them to drill. It seems as if permits were too often issued based on little more than assurances of safety from the oil companies. That cannot and will not happen anymore. To borrow an old phrase, we will trust but we will verify.
The President said he would task his Interior Secretary to reform the completely negligent Minerals Management Service, beyond the already announced split of the royalty-collection task of the agency and the regulatory oversight task. He also reiterated his moratorium on new drilling permits until after the completion of a 30-day safety review. He vowed to "examine" the environmental review process for new drilling as well, though there were no details.
However, he did not renounce offshore oil drilling, though the word "offshore" was absent from his remarks on the subject:
Now, as I've said before, domestic oil drilling continues to be one part of an overall energy strategy that now includes more clean, renewable energy and energy efficiency than at any other time in our history. But it's absolutely essential that going forward we put in place every necessary safeguard and protection so that a tragedy like this oil spill does not happen again. This is a responsibility that all of us share -– the oil companies share it; the manufacturers of this equipment share it; the agencies in the federal government in charge of oversight share that responsibility. I will not tolerate more finger pointing or irresponsibility.
Again, this was more a "message: I care" speech than anything, and we await follow-through of the actions already announced: the breakup and reform of the MMS, the legislation to aid the Gulf coast for bearing the consequences for a disaster they did not cause, raising the liability cap for all the corporations involved so they can compensate the victims, and once and for all shutting the flow of millions of gallons of toxic substances into the Gulf of Mexico.
UPDATE: The Project on Government Oversight (POGO) has some good suggestions on how to fix the Minerals Management Service. From their statement:
"For years, the MMS has been crippled by its appalling coziness with industry and we welcome the additional scrutiny of the agency from the highest level of the executive branch," said POGO Executive Director Danielle Brian. " We've been exposing the problems at the MMS for years and from what we've seen, this agency will need far more than a dispersal agent to remove the stains to its integrity."
POGO hopes the president will tackle the problem head on, and separate the functions that create an inherent conflict of mission at the MMS.
"Secretary Salazar's proposal to divide the agency in two marks a step in the right direction, but in order to create more substantive reform, the agency's leasing and royalty collection functions also must be separated," Brian said.
There are multiple conflicts of interest at the MMS. Not only should the regulatory and royalty collection roles be made separate, but so should the leasing. You shouldn't have the same agency giving the leases and receiving the money from the corporations to which they give the leases.

Where is the best city for me?
Quite a " done to death" question, but....
I am thinking of going to college where i live now, but i may do the two year course. After two years you get automatic acceptance to berklee college in boston. But there is a big financial question, and i don't want to take just the plain four course here, because i don't want to stay here for that long! So if i do the 2 year course and don't get a scholarship to berklee, well i can't go, too expensive. So where would be the best place to try and find some roots? Very broad question, i know. I guess the main area would be America, because i don't really like England too much ( if anyone knows any good european cities, shoot!).
I want to be a musician, and would play anything to get the rent paid you know? But i'm taking jojo mayer's advice seriously here, " the only way to make it in this industry today is to follow your passion, don't compramise, if you like jazz, then go for jazz etc". I love jazz and the music, but also REALLY love funky new orleans feel music and hip hop, also don't mind lain, afro stuff. Realy the more adventerous types of music, like it but wouldn't prefer to be playing rock every night. The smart thing would be to join up with a college, but it costs SO much for an outsider to get in! Any help?
Re: Where is the best city for me?
Your'e right mate, dont come to England, as it is a dying country, with little of roots and history being tollerated, by wankers and do gooders, he think we might affend people.
Re: Where is the best city for me?
Re: Where is the best city for me?
no shot at you. just a genuine comment.
Re: Where is the best city for me?
That's what I love about this vast community of brothers & sisters from far reaches of the globe. We all have words that sometimes don't make sense to eachother. haha
Gotta love it!
Re: Where is the best city for me?
My 2 cents:
Unless you do get into Berklee, look to Sweeden, Germany, and other points in Europe.
All the greatest music festivals are in Europe. A lot of bands that can't do squat in the US are doing well in Europe. From where I stand, it seems music fans are much more open minded over seas about different styles.
But, as they say, the grass is always greener somewhere else.
Re: Where is the best city for me?
The best city? That sounds a bit subjective, fancy but nevermind. If you want to study the numbers, notes, letters and just pure "technique" stay in Europe. If you want to get the "rhythm and taste" move to Louisiana/New Orleans, Central America, South America, The Caribbean islands and Africa.
By the way, our drummer/colleague - Mattsmith - is doing very well in Romania, East Europe.
Good luck in your endeavour!
Re: Where is the best city for me?
Thanks for the comments. Yeah, the grass is always greener, but there is pretty much barron turf where I am now so work that out! I think the big problem with going to another european city is the language barrier. Most speak english, but it's not like everyone in that region will speak it. Ya, matt seems to be doing fairly well, but again, hes travelling quite a bit.
I thought it might be shot because I have actually heard that the music scene is places like London is very good, but I just don't realy want to move there. The european cities that would spring to mind would be Paris, Vienna?, Zurich, Amsterdam. But then again, I will be around 21 if i move, and I won't want to be going to a sleepy city, would prefer an alive one such as New York or Paris. Anyone know about Paris? I won't ask about New York because that topic has been done to bits!

GREENEVILLE — Mallory Jackson's high school tennis career will end in Murfreesboro.
For the Unicoi County senior, it's a familiar place.
It's where Jackson teamed with Seline Koch and lost a hard-fought state quarterfinals match as a freshman, where she advanced to the state singles championship as a sophomore and where she won a state doubles title with Nela Holkova last season.
This time, Jackson will team with Emily Lynch after the Lady Devils duo defeated the Sullivan South sister team of Brianna and Caitlin Barrett 6-3, 6-1 for the Region 1-A/AA girls' doubles championship on Monday at the Greeneville Tennis Center.
Other champions crowned were: Danielle Vines of Elizabethton in girls' singles, David Worley of South Greene in boys' singles, and Griffin Leonard and Patrick Cawood of Greeneville in boys' doubles.
As for Jackson, the TSSAA Spring Fling was a destination she had her sights on all season.
"I wanted to go to state really bad this year," Jackson said. "It will be my fourth year there and no matter what happens I'm just excited that we got to go. Hopefully, we will be able to do well once we get there."
Lynch, a junior, is thrilled to be playing alongside Jackson for her final state championships appearance.
"I'm definitely excited and I hope we do well," Lynch said. "We keep on getting better and better working together. We hope to continue to improve before state. Mallory has helped me all throughout the matches. I can always turn to her and she always helps me."
It's the kind of help Jackson has often received from her own family. She and five older siblings -- Leonard, Brooke, Tyler, Drew and Reed -- have built quite the family tradition on the local courts.
Sister, Brooke, even served as an assistant at the Air Force Academy.
"We're always known as a tennis family around Erwin," Jackson said. "We've brought in exchange students who have played. My mom (Ruth) loves to help with the team and she always wants what is best for Unicoi. I'm happy our family was able to do all that. I'm so excited I was able to finish out a good year and at least get to state."
She and Lynch will be joined there by Vines, who has a perfect run going in her first season of high school tennis.
The Elizabethton sophomore, who has made a name for herself on the USTA circuit, hasn't lost a game, let alone a set or a match, the entire season. McKenna Smith of Sullivan North was a 6-0, 6-0 final-round victim for the second time in two weeks on Monday.
While Vines hasn't faced much of a challenge this season, she has enjoyed the experience of competing for the Cyclones. She's especially looking forward to her first trip to Murfreesboro and being a part of the Spring Fling.
"It's going to be fun because a lot of people pay attention to high school tennis," Vines said. "I'll have some pressure, but I've really enjoyed high school tennis so far. I think I'll enjoy the state too. I just hope I can represent Elizabethton well."
Worley, a South Greene junior, beat Unicoi County senior Conly Shults 6-2, 6-2 in another rematch of a District 1-A/AA final. Worley was able to negate Shults' long wingspan by hitting away from Shults when he charged the net. He also came out on top of their occasional rallies to earn a state berth.
"It's a huge deal, an honor to be able to go as a junior," Worley said. "First time at state, my heart is still racing."
It marked the end of a celebrated high school career for Shults, who helped push Unicoi County to the 2012 state team championship as a sophomore.
"Definitely going to the state my sophomore year, that was probably one of the highlights of my high school days, not just tennis," Shults said. "It was amazing. Just going to state with them, being able to hang out with them and to play tennis all week, that was something special. I really loved that team and I will never forget that."
Before losing in the final, Shults defeated Greeneville's Logan Dickerson 7-5, 7-5 in a tough semifinal match.
It was the semifinal round where the road ended for Elizabethton team of Caleb Bailey and Logan Birchfield. They lost 6-3, 6-2 to Cawood and Leonard, who in turn beat Boone Wallace and T.J. Ellis of Sullivan East 6-2, 6-2 in the final.
Bailey, a senior, talked about wrapping his high school career which included a district doubles title with Nick Honeycutt a year ago.
"Technically, this was my second sport, but I enjoyed it more than football," Bailey said. "There is less wear on your body and it's more relaxed. I've enjoyed playing with various people and it's been fun for me.
"You set your goals in moderation if that makes sense. You win the point, win the game, win the set and win the match. You just play it point-by-point and go from there. It's sad to be going out right now, but I had a good time doing it."
For Monday's winners, their season will continue next Thursday at the state individual championships in Murfreesboro.

Butter: The Harsh (and Delicious) Reality
From May 30 through yesterday, June 14, I blew through exactly–not a tablespoon more or a tablespoon less–121 pounds of butter. This did not include any butter used in meals to feed the crew (which was adeptly handled by another foodblogging friend of mine; more on this unbelievable deliciousness in a later post on PW Cooks)—it was only the butter used to cook the recipes that will be featured on my cooking show this fall.
121 pounds of butter is 484 sticks of butter.
One hundred twenty one pounds of butter is four hundred eighty four sticks of butter. One can hardly wrap his brain around it. (Although I did notice a couple of guesses over the four or five hundred mark. Something for me to strive for.)
Do you remember the last time you unwrapped a stick of butter? Do you remember how it felt? The peeling back of the waxed paper wrapper from the creamy, perfect pale yellow stick? The promise that it brought? The excitement? The hope?
That happened 484 times in my house in the past two weeks.
I love life.
Pop Quiz Results
As for the pop quiz, several of you guessed "121" yesterday. The first person who did so was #1084 Eliza. Great job, Eliza! You win the $250 Amazon.com gift card.
The following three people also guessed the correct answer and win a $100 Amazon.com gift card. Since people drop by here at different times of the day, I randomly selected them from among all players that guessed the correct answer:
#4104 Jessica H.
#4594 Kim L.
#15708 Dana
(Great job, guys. Contact [email protected] to claim your gift cards.)
A Moment of Silence
And now, let us all observe a moment of silence. For the farmers that raised the cows. For the cows that produced the milk. For the opportunity for me to be able to say for the rest of my life that I once used up over a hundred pounds of butter in fourteen days flat.
I realize some people–probably, quite reasonable people–might not consider that a badge of honor. But I'm thinking of getting a plaque engraved. Either that, or I will leave express instructions with my loved ones that this claim-to-fame be included in my epitaph. It'll be right underneath:
She loved her husband and children with all of her heart
Her favorite bra was discontinued one day after she discovered it
Same goes for her favorite lipstick
And under eye concealer
And jeans
The Missing Diamond
Butter matters aside, you'll notice in the photo at the top of this post that my wedding band is still missing a diamond. I wear that as a badge of honor, too, and I refuse to get it replaced. I don't need to stinkin' diamond to know that my marriage is strong. What is in a diamond, anyway? I'd rather embrace real life. And when you think about it, this is really the perfect analogy for marriage: it may be flawed, it make lose some of its sparkle from time to time, but the foundation–the ring, the structure, the core–remains intact.
Or maybe it means I'm lazy and don't want to drive to a jewelry store.
I'll have to think on that.
Butter matters and missing diamond matters aside, please note my freaky pink alien hands, which also appear to be quite pruny in the photo.
I hope that's because I'd just washed some dishes moments before.
I don't exactly…remember washing dishes before I took this photo of my hand, but it could have happened, I think.
I'll stop talking now.

Hi…maybe my math is a little off, but isn't each stick of butter 1/2 pound, not 1/4? Which means 121 pounds of butter is actually 242 sticks…
Lindie On Wednesday, June 15 at 2:29 pm
Nope. Each regular pkg of butter is 1 pound with each stick being 1/4 pound.
cowmoomama On Wednesday, June 15 at 12:44 pm
You make me smile – your diamond, your epitaph , your hands and all that butter- happy cows!
Bobbie On Wednesday, June 15 at 12:45 pm
Congrats to the winners! That was a lot of fun
I guessed 112 and thought I was way too high!
Looking forward to the show!!
Tricia in Washington On Wednesday, June 15 at 12:48 pm
I was way off. My sister said 29.5 lbs because that's what my niece uses at her bakery in a week. I think my niece probably uses that in a day!!. I look forward to your show when
it comes out. Regarding your diamond getting lost, I don't think I could be that rational.
Have a good day!
Sharyn Finno Auzinger On Wednesday, June 15 at 12:49 pm
My favorite concealer is Camoflauge Cream by Prescriptives (can be ordered online). Anyhow, you and I used to put makeup on in 9th/10th grade speech class back at the Mid-High. If I could only do eyeliner like you did…. Can't wait to see the cooking special!
Laura T On Wednesday, June 15 at 12:49 pm
OMG I was WAY off, haha! Can't wait for the show!
Carol On Wednesday, June 15 at 12:49 pm
the only word that will come out of my mouth is….wow!
Becky On Wednesday, June 15 at 12:51 pm
Wow, my guess was way to low…next time buy it in bulk, like a 55# block. So much less to unwrap yet all the hope and goodness still come with it!
tj On Wednesday, June 15 at 1:06 pm
…Wow. A 55 lb. block of butter? [singing the word] "Heaven"… :o)
Erica On Wednesday, June 15 at 12:53 pm
And I thought any guesses over 60 pounds was plum crazy.
Michele On Wednesday, June 15 at 12:55 pm
Wow, I was only off by 100 pounds! You are awesome!! I love butter…but I don't wear it well, so I do have to practice restraint….
I too ave lost (several) diamonds from my band, but i am too much of a perfectionist to not have them replaced!
patimk On Wednesday, June 15 at 12:59 pm
That's a lot of butter. I was so busy yesterday I never checked your site. Can't wait to see the cooking show. When's it going to be on? I missed the contest but I don't think I would have guessed that much butter, WOW.
Natalie On Wednesday, June 15 at 1:01 pm
My mom has a diamond missing from her wedding ring, as well…Which she, too, has never replaced. After 30 years, diamonds don't seem so important. I love, LOVE your take on it.
Rebekah On Wednesday, June 15 at 1:01 pm
Maybe I've been watching too much "Oprah Behind the Scenes", where it shows all of her producers, but I was wondering who is the producer of YOUR show? Gordon Elliot? Bobby Flay? ; )
Waiting for Bulgaria On Wednesday, June 15 at 1:02 pm
That is a heck of a lot of butter. Wow!
tj On Wednesday, June 15 at 1:03 pm
…Gosh, after reading about all that butter it makes me dream of laying down in a bed of butter…oooooo… ;o) I love butter. I love to eat it, bake with it, shoot – I would slather it on my skin if people didn't think of me as creepy…lol :o) Yeah Ree, I think you may have broken a world record or something. I'd check into that if I were you… :o)
…I'm with you on the ring thing. Too many people put an emphasis on the wedding ring and how big the diamond is and how much it cost and it really doesn't mean hooey. :o\ You could do like Pamela Lee…yeah, THAT Pamela Lee, and get a wedding ring tattoo like when she married that Motley Crue drummer…Tommy Lee is it? *giggle*
…Thank you for the contest, it was fun! 121 lbs. of butter…I never would've imagined it!
…Butter Blessings… :o)
Annette On Wednesday, June 15 at 1:10 pm
I lost my diamond also! I replaced it, and then insured it. We have a ton of things in common, I find, after reading your book. Email me sometime, and we can compare notes, Girl! :o)
Ms. Murphy On Wednesday, June 15 at 1:11 pm
Butter is great stuff but- Hello- it is the 21st Century and we all know what too much butter does to our arteries – get a clue and get off the massive use of butter, try substituting with 1/2 butter, 1/2 applesauce in a oatmeal cookie recipe – it works great and is healthy!
Helen H. On Wednesday, June 15 at 1:13 pm
I think you should go to the trophy shop and have a trophy made up with your name on it and a stick of butter in gold on top….
Helen H. On Wednesday, June 15 at 1:18 pm
Also something to consider next time is maybe just buying the butter sculpture from the fair to use. I've seen a cow, Elvis, and assorted other buttery effigies (sp?). Might save some time unwrapping and would add a lovely decorative touch to your kitchen while you cook
Adrienne On Wednesday, June 15 at 1:21 pm
All I can say is wow. Just wow. Looking forward to the show~
Leah stark On Wednesday, June 15 at 1:22 pm
In honor of your accomplishments….
Butter is lovely
Butter is delicious
Go buy diamonds and
Let someone else do the dishes.
Pat Wright On Wednesday, June 15 at 1:35 pm
My guess for the butter was so far off, I don't even want to discuss it. I play to win–and I was definitely the loser in that contest. On to bigger and brighter things–I have lost the diamond out of my ring–not once, but twice! It was missng about 6 months the first time. My hubby found it, stuck it on the end of his tongue, and said, "Punkin, can you come see what is wrong with my tongue?" I live with a funny guy; can you tell? The second time, my knight in shining armor found it again. He promptly carried it to the jeweler to have it reset and another prong added to hold that sucker on! I think that it was so appropos that my sweet, funny, goofy husband found the diamond both times. He is my rock and my best friend. He takes good care of me–when he isn't snoozing on the couch!
Lisa On Wednesday, June 15 at 1:36 pm
If you have homeowners insurance, and I'll bet you do, file the claim and get yerself another diamond. Bigger IS better!
Lindsey On Wednesday, June 15 at 1:37 pm
i am 8 weeks pregnant today and want to eat something more than saltines and sprite!!! i feel bad im not getting any nutrients to this little one!!!! ree, please can you list on your blog some foods that may make me and this little peanut happy? so far nothing sounds good, and if it does sound good i have to have it right then, and live 35 minutes away from the grocery store.. and to mention, we are building a house and living with relatives…maybe a reminiscent blog on your fav pregger foods?
terri in iowa On Wednesday, June 15 at 1:39 pm
WOW! That's a lot of butter! I thought I was guessing high with my 33-something guess. I love butter, but I've recently switched to Smart Balance. It's a bit healthier, me thinks.
Helen H. On Wednesday, June 15 at 1:42 pm
Another thought… next time just buy the butter sculpture they have at the fair…I've seen a cow, Elvis, and many other creatures carved in the creamy goodness…it would save all that unwrapping and add a lovely decorative touch to the kitchen as you cook
Dancing Shoes On Wednesday, June 15 at 1:42 pm
I can't tell you how tickled I am for you that you are going to have your OWN COOKING SHOW!!!! YAY!!! I am so excited and can't wait until air time!!
Jess On Wednesday, June 15 at 1:43 pm
I cannot believe this. I was going to guess 121 yesterday, but saw that like 12,000 had already posted guesses so I didn't bother. If I had, I would have won one of the $100 gift cards! I'm kicking myself right now!!
Diane Burns On Wednesday, June 15 at 1:45 pm
Oh my gosh!!!!! I guessed 56 what was I thinking? You need to get together with Paula Deen. Wouldn't that be fun!
KathyH On Wednesday, June 15 at 1:46 pm
Can't wait to see what was being made w/that much butter. Can only be good!
Beki - TheRustedChain On Wednesday, June 15 at 1:48 pm
Good Gravy that's a lot of butter…
Cannot wait to see the show, Ree Ree. I'm so proud of you and excited for you!
Cryssy On Wednesday, June 15 at 1:51 pm
I find it scary that you used as much butter as this mother of two weighs!
greeneyes/Martha On Wednesday, June 15 at 1:52 pm
That's something I tell my husband from time to time…"Please stop talking now!"
Unlike most men, he can be a chatter box and tends to prattle when he's tired.
I say it in love and fun…but it gets my point across…time for a bit of silence!!
Oh how I love him!
Athena On Wednesday, June 15 at 1:52 pm
My brother is getting married and he used my mother's original wedding ring for the engagement ring. When my parents got married my father took my grandmother's original ring and had a ruby (Mom's favorite) put on it. My future sister-in-law (I love saying that!) and I recently took the ring in to be antiqued. The jeweler told us that it isn't a ruby; its actually a garnet. FSIL's reply- "The ring is a symbol of our love. It doesn't matter about the stone." I am so glad she is joining our family!
jen @ the baked life On Wednesday, June 15 at 1:56 pm
that's a whole lot of butter.
I love it.
Alyson On Wednesday, June 15 at 1:57 pm
GOOD GRACIOUS! That is a butt-load of butter! I was wwwwwwaaaaaayyyyy off. My guess was 43.5 lbs.
Thanks for the "thank you" to the farmers and cows. My parents own a dairy here in SC. Jersey cows……THE best! They, my parents and the cows, do work extremely hard.
kimberly loomis On Wednesday, June 15 at 1:58 pm
My guess is that the missing diamond and the butter are somehow connected. Sherlock, where are you?!
SuzPaq On Wednesday, June 15 at 2:01 pm
Are you SURE all of that was used for cookin' and there wasn't a crazy butter fight out back amongst the cast and crew ? :))
Bon Woo On Wednesday, June 15 at 2:13 pm
I am reminded of a Green Day song…."1-21 sticks to throw my heart into the ER!" To answer your next question, yes…I write my own lyrics. You can call me Lady Woo Woo. If you need any song lyrics, I can be hired out with payment of dinner and dancing…okay, I will settle for any meal and a shootout. This gal cannot be too picky at this point. : )
What's that you say? Those are NOT the right lyrics to that song? Silly me. ; )
Susan W. P. On Wednesday, June 15 at 2:13 pm
Ree; Re; The missing Bling,,,, I am sad and feeling your angst. I too have lost a diamond, well actually the whole darn ring. That may have been a sign of things to come, as a few years later, the marriage was "lost" as well.
You put it so eloquently when you wrote the metaphor : ring to marriage.
That was beautiful.
Sticking with your theme; perhaps a stone to stand in for the missing one, could be an interesting colored one, speaking to the nature which surrounds your life.
So many orphaned stones are looking for homes that are just as timeless as the diamond.
The (new) Duchess of Cambridge seems rather fond of her blue Sapphire :)) But green and red are awfully pretty too….
Robin In Kent Wa On Wednesday, June 15 at 2:14 pm

Kim in MD On Wednesday, June 15 at 2:19 pm
Oh my…that is a ton of butter! I can't wait for your cooking show, Ree!
Cate S On Wednesday, June 15 at 2:21 pm
WOW… I can't wait to see what all that butter was used for.. you didn't cheat and sculpt something as a center piece? I'm pretty sure the dairy associations around the country are very happy… but I hate to think about how much cooking translates into dishes to be washed… did you keep track of that also??
Dawn W On Wednesday, June 15 at 2:22 pm
I hope the missing diamond is not somewhere IN that 121 pounds of butter!!!
Dawn W On Wednesday, June 15 at 2:26 pm
And by the way… has Paula Dean been notified that she has been dethroned as the queen of butter???
Another Suburban Mom On Wednesday, June 15 at 2:25 pm
That is a LOT of butter! Mmmmm butter and its buttery goodness.
Lindie On Wednesday, June 15 at 2:27 pm
Can't wait for your new show! I only guessed 76 and thought that was plenty!
CateS On Wednesday, June 15 at 2:29 pm
Several years ago, after I lost a diamond and had it replaced; my jeweler advised me to have my ring checked at least every 6 months.. It only takes a few minutes and I can drool over the latest items…
ketchupwiththefrys On Wednesday, June 15 at 2:30 pm
Love that you are real and that you can somehow tie in a missing diamond and butter in the same post. Maybe you could have a prune themed Food Network special with pruny hands & Aunt Iny's prune cake.
The Housewife On Wednesday, June 15 at 2:30 pm
Wow! Thats some record! I'm quite guilty too but instead of butter I use ghee. Everything tastes better with butter and ghee!
Amy in StL On Wednesday, June 15 at 2:34 pm
Wow, that's over 8 containers of butter a day… I once forgot I had butter in the fridge and ended up the three pounds and I thought that looked ridiculous. Of course, I live by myself so it was a little excessive. Frosted pound cake fixed that….
Gloria Mc On Wednesday, June 15 at 2:37 pm
Okay, I realize there were a lot of people over there that had to be fed, but.. WOW!! ..that's a lotta buttah..

Hi All! Regarding those freaky pink alien hands: I get them a lot when I have been out gardening with no gloves on. Something in the soil really dries my hands out. Just wondering, Ree if you had been out tending to your garden before you washed your hands and took the pic! Love and Hugs to all!
RhondaTM7 On Wednesday, June 15 at 2:58 pm
I keep thinking of the cost of 121 pounds of butter. Around here it is anywhere from $2.50 to $3.50 a pound…..so between $302.50 to $423.50….JUST for butter…That amazes me.
Jessica On Wednesday, June 15 at 2:59 pm
After reading your guess how much butter post, I preceded to dream about you buying and using many pounds of butter. I am not obsessed with you more like pregnancy seems to be affecting my sleeping mind just a bit.
CindySue On Wednesday, June 15 at 3:09 pm
I assume your show is 30 minutes long. Would you please explain how many EPISODES you recorded in 14 days?????? BTW, can't wait to watch! How many "dishes" did you cook? Entrees, sides, desserts? A tip $$$$ for the grocery store runner and one for the dishwasher!!!?!! 121 lbs. is 4X my guess! Congrats to the winners! Is it true you don't have a weekly trash pick-up!? Please explain when you recover. Photo of you and Baby is wonderful and should be saved. Stay cool
Theresa in Alberta On Wednesday, June 15 at 3:14 pm
I use so little butter that I am now using the real thing, as in real butter. a pound will last me a month. But 121 pounds, great balls of fire woman!! I bet just watching your show (looking forward to it) I will gain a few pounds eh

who ate all the food you cooked with that 121 pounds of butter? with all that food, why did you need a caterer?!
Susan On Wednesday, June 15 at 3:19 pm
I know you probably get lots of questions and aren't able to answer them all, but I was wondering what kind of butter you use–salted or unsalted–I am NEVER sure when I'm making a recipe, or if it really makes a difference. And what about when baking? Is there a general rule of thumb that I can follow? Please help! Thanks! And love your blog!
Gwen On Wednesday, June 15 at 3:19 pm
I am shocked an disgusted by this! 121 lbs?! I thought I was being ridiculous with 21.
emily On Wednesday, June 15 at 4:12 pm
I totally agree Gwen. Definitely NOT something worth bragging about.
KS_Kris On Wednesday, June 15 at 3:20 pm
Damn, that's a lot of butter!
Dragonfly Woman On Wednesday, June 15 at 3:21 pm
Perhaps instead of a plaque commemorating the 121 pounds of butter, you should commemorate it with a butter sculpture?
diane On Wednesday, June 15 at 3:21 pm
how do you read 20 something thousand comment? Seriously!
CindySue On Wednesday, June 15 at 3:22 pm
Remember, you are the child of medical professionals !! No cardiologists though, I hope. Just kidding…..Love your recipes……What a marathon….Wow….Keepin' it real…
S.Schulz On Wednesday, June 15 at 3:28 pm
I love your wedding ring analogy. I too am missing one of my diamonds (even looks similar to yours). I could care less about getting it fixed. As far as the butter, I guessed 173 pounds…& am not shocked in the least that you used 121 pounds.
Most recipes for baking usually include 1-2 sticks, so that is 1/2 pd. for just one recipe!
His blessings to your household!
Halle G On Wednesday, June 15 at 3:30 pm
Holy Cow!…no pun intended. You just made some dairy farmers very, very happy!
I only used 2 sicks today.
MelanieH On Wednesday, June 15 at 3:33 pm
Butter matters and missing diamond matters aside, please note my freaky pink alien hands, which also appear to be quite pruny in the photo. "
Okay, see, it's moments like that that I just love you lol
Debbie On Wednesday, June 15 at 3:36 pm
And this is why I read your blog. I love that you embrace things that aren't perfect and make the most of them. I have a husband who wants to put cows in our yard, who gave me a flawed diamond years ago when we had no money. I loved him then, and I plan to keep loving him.
Staci S On Wednesday, June 15 at 3:39 pm
Holy BUTTER batman!!!! Around here (iowa) butter is over $3 a pound! that's more than $363 on butter alone. Hope you didn't have to foot that bill. I hope you didn't have to clean all the dishes! I hate doing dishes and that why I'm in love with my dishwasher!!
Corndog On Wednesday, June 15 at 3:45 pm
Oh My Gosh!!!!!! I cannot even comprehend that amount of butter and how you use it in 2 weeks. I freak if I bake something (usually something of yours) and use 2 sticks for the whole thing. Daing!
As for the ring, AMEN sista. I only wear a band. My engagement ring sits in the jewelry box because the diamond has nothing to do with the marriage.
Wendy On Wednesday, June 15 at 3:46 pm
I weigh 121 pounds.
You used a WHOLE PERSON OF BUTTER!!!
Colleen On Wednesday, June 15 at 4:00 pm
You are my hero! In so many ways! Thank you for giving us all a place that feels like home on the Internet! I just gave up my black heels and LA…and every time I go to your site, I'm reminded that simple is butter. I mean better,
Jennifer Gibson On Wednesday, June 15 at 4:05 pm
I am also what I call diamond free. I lost mine 10 years ago and decided to just have my band and not have to worry about banging a diamond and loosing it. I feel relieved and call myself Happily Diamond Free!

emily On Wednesday, June 15 at 4:10 pm
wow, that's A LOT of butter! good thing obesity isn't an epidemic in this country, or you would be really irresponsible for patting yourself on the back for pushing such unhealthy recipes that use a ridiculous amount of butter. It's a good thing you are so conscientious! Keep up the great work!
Bobbie On Wednesday, June 15 at 4:12 pm
Is there any butter left within a hundred mile radius of Tulsa?

Please Please Please give us a few days advanced warning of when your show will air as I don't want to miss it!!
bridget {bake at 350} On Wednesday, June 15 at 4:22 pm
Oh wow….I guessed LOW….only 41! I unwrapped 2 sticks of butter today, and oh, it does feel good! I guess I better get crackin' if I'm going to get anywhere near 121 POUNDS!!!
My mom lost the diamond out of her engagement ring…and it is a really funny story…best told over a glass of wine. She never had it replaced, either.
Mindy On Wednesday, June 15 at 4:27 pm
Is it wrong to mention that it is quite possibly more than an entire person? A person's weight in butter.
Cindy On Wednesday, June 15 at 4:30 pm
121# Now THAT'S a-mazing!! Maybe a Guiness World Record is in your future!!
Kristi On Wednesday, June 15 at 4:34 pm
Good Lord! How could you buy a new diamond when you just spent over $400 on butter???? ha ha ha
Rosalyn On Wednesday, June 15 at 4:39 pm
Um, that is a freakishly large amount of butter for 2 weeks! around here, butter costs 2.50/lb. WHEN it's on sale! If you had to buy your butter for that price, you spent $302.50 just on BUTTER for the last two weeks! That should blow your grocery budget away!!!
On another note–when will this cooking show be airing?! I can't wait to watch it!
Happy relaxation!
Gretchen On Wednesday, June 15 at 4:41 pm
How many of your kids combined would equal 121 lbs? And I also lost the diamond from my engagement ring. The band was in place but the diamond was gone. I am very happy with the replacement ring I eventually received! It is worth the drive to the store!
Valerie Cudnik - Dolly Domestic On Wednesday, June 15 at 4:42 pm
That's a LOT of butter. I was close, only 5 pounds over, but 36000 comments too late. Still fun to enter my guess.
Emily M. On Wednesday, June 15 at 4:46 pm
I love you PW, but honestly this post makes me sick. I feel guilty when I use half of the butter that a recipe calls for.
Niteowl Nancy On Wednesday, June 15 at 4:51 pm
Wow! I thought I guessed high at 6 pounds per day. At 121 pounds, that more than 8-1/2 pounds per day. My burning question is….who ate all that food????? Especially since you mentioned that another foodblogger cooked for the crew! Your freezers must be bursting at the seams! Do tell!
Tatiana On Wednesday, June 15 at 4:52 pm
Paula Deen must be proud!
That is a whole lot of butter…
Betsy in WI On Wednesday, June 15 at 4:55 pm
As a proud granddaughter of a 5th generational family grade A Land o' Lakes dairy farm in Wisconsin, we thank you! Happy cows come from Wisconsin!
Linda Lanting On Wednesday, June 15 at 4:58 pm
Oh Ree- I must say I absolutely adore you!
First of all for saving us dairy farmers from certain bankruptcy! You go girl! You're the best!
And for championing marriage as even more priceless than diamonds or 121 pounds butter!
Thanks for making me laugh out loud nearly every day….hugs :o)

100 Words: Wedding ring by Mr. London Street
My wedding ring is the symbol of a marriage which began seven years ago today. The room was nearly empty: two witnesses, six smiles.
Not because it's endless – that's a cliché, did you expect me to say that? No, it's not about its shape but because of how it looks.
The outside, once shiny, is now matte, scuffed by all my knocks, accidents and mistakes, seven years of accumulated clumsiness.
But when I look, the inside, the side closest to my pulse, still gleams exactly as it did that cold day when my life began: perfect, pristine, incapable of disappointment.
lisa in alabama On Wednesday, June 15 at 5:36 pm
I was going to guess a number yesterday, but as I scrolled down through the other guesses in the comments, I started to feel nauseous. And I love butter!

Hospitals embrace idea of donor recognition walls
Posted: January 25, 2013|
The writing's on the wall for kind-hearted donors at a Cambridge hospital.
Addenbrooke's Charitable Trust and Cambridge University Hospitals have launched a new donor recognition wall in the hospital main reception with plaques to thank significant donors for their support.
Donor recognition walls have long been a feature of philanthropic programmes in establishments, but as yet they are rarely seen within NHS hospitals in the UK.
Cambridge University Hospitals is one of the first NHS organisations to have a donor recognition wall installed by its dedicated charity.
A spokesman said: "The creation of a donor recognition wall for the main reception and further donor recognition plaques across Addenbrooke's and the Rosie serve to celebrate and thank donors while also inspiring others to support the hospitals."

Step 1: Layout of the main part of the cap
1. Measure around your head where you want the cap's bottom to be. Write this down somewhere you can get to it later because if you ever want to make more hats you'll appreciate not having to remeasure. For my hats I normally create one strip of fabric 23" long by 5.5" tall (I wear a size Small-Medium hat normally).
2. Using a ruler and a marker or pencil mark your cutting lines on the fabric
3. Cut out the strip(s) of fabric (in my case I made 3 pieces: two 10"x5.5" and one 4"x5.5" but normally I would only make one 23"x5.5" strip)
Step 2: Sew the top band together
If you're following what I did and using three pieces of fabric you'll get what's in the photos below, otherwise you'll have only one stitched area that will be the back of your hat.
Step 3: Finish the bottom edge of the hat
I fold and pin approximately 1" of the bottom of the band of fabric and then sew it twice; once around the upper part of the fold and once around the lower part of the fold. This gives a nice double stitch that looks good.
I survived Rookdom in the Norwich University Corps of Cadets. Norwich is located in Vermont. Wales has never seen snow like Vermont. Wimps! :-)

Contemporary Clay Jewellery Course
At Camp Creative, Bellingen. January 14th - 18th, 2013
Tutor: Hector Vera
Age 16+
(Image of 2012 Class Students at Camp Creative Bellingen)
Including my lovely Class Assistants Margie Mercer on my left
and Virgina Yelavich on my right
Immerse yourself in a fabulous week filled with creative exploration into the world of Polymer Clay, a revolutionary material used by artists and craftspeople all over the globe.
In this class students will be shown how to get started on the path of creative jewellery making, with an emphasis on the various ways polymer clay can be conditioned, cut, shaped, stamped, and textured to make pendants, beads, and other jewellery components. You will be introduced to the tools used, colour mixes, layering, surface treatments and applying inclusions for fabulous results. You will learn how to make exquisite wearable art featuring a millefiori design in gradient colours and lovely patterns. Discover ways to achieve dramatic effects by combining metallic paints into your designs and experience an explosion of brilliance with glitter and foils. And there is more... you will be creating something layered, fabulous, and colourful featuring a transferred image focal. I will introduce you to an ancient Asian technique called "Mokume Gane" which has been adapted to claying, involving several thinly rolled layers of clay that are stacked on top of each other and then distorted by pressing into them with tools resulting in extraordinary patterns where no two sheets are exactly alike.
Open to beginners and those wishing to jazz up their life with an extraordinary jewellery making skill, you'll find this workshop very addictive. Knowledge of basic wire working techniques such as wrapped bead loops, basic bead loops, opening and closing a jump ring are helpful but not required.

Stress incontinence occurs when the muscles that control your urine flow don't work properly.The bladder and urethra are supported by the pelvic floor muscles. Urine flows from your bladder through your urethra to the outside. The sphincter is a muscle around the opening of the bladder.

Your health care provider may ask you to keep a urinary diary. You can record how many times you urinate during the day and night, and how often you leak urine.There are four types of treatment for stress incontinence:Behavior changes Medication Pelvic floor muscle training SurgeryBEHAVIOR CHANGESMaking these changes may help:Drink less fluid (if you drink more than normal amounts of fluid). Don't hold it. Urinate when you first feel the urge. This may help reduce the amount of urine that leaks. Avoid jumping or running. Take fiber to avoid constipation, which can make urinary incontinence worse. Quit smoking. This can reduce coughing and bladder irritation. Smoking also increases your risk for bladder cancer. Avoid alcohol and caffeinated drinks such as coffee. They can cause the urge to urinate. Lose excess weight. Avoid foods and drinks that may irritate your bladder. These include spicy foods, carbonated drinks, and citrus. If you have diabetes, keep your blood sugar under good control.PELVIC FLOOR MUSCLE TRAININGThere are different ways to strengthen the muscles in your pelvic floor.Biofeedback.

Your doctor may prescribe one or more medicine.Anticholinergic medicines help relax the muscles of the bladder. They include oxybutynin (Oxytrol, Ditropan), tolterodine (Detrol), darifenacin (Enablex), trospium (Sanctura), and solifenacin (Vesicare). Antimuscarinic drugs block bladder contractions. Estrogen therapy may help improve symptoms in women who have gone through menopause. It is applied as a cream or inserted into your vagina as a tablet or ring. Imipramine, a tricyclic antidepressant, helps relax bladder muscles.SURGERIESIf other treatments do not work, your doctor may recommend surgery. Surgery may help if you have severe incontinence.
