                    [Summary] => 



We thought we were saving precious time by marinating three portions of beef sirloin in three different mixes, then storing two of them in the freezer for future use. The last batch remained in cold storage for more than three days and sadly this was a mistake. When cooked it turned out to be so salty, we could hardly eat it.  It seems that leaving a piece of meat for a long time in the marinade makes it absorb more of the seasoning than it should. To validate this we turned to our Larousse Gastronomique Encyclopedia and looked up ‘marinating’

                    [Summary] => There are many variables that can affect agri-businesses which in turn, affect the price of agriculture commodities. Chief among these is the weather which can impact heavily on a farmer or a fisherman’s earnings. Extreme fluctuations in the weather have been known to drive up the price of vegetables and other produce. It is imperative therefore, for them to always be apprised of changes in local weather conditions, and conversely, for consumers to always know the prices of their products.

We thought we were saving precious time by marinating three portions of beef sirloin in three different mixes, then storing two of them in the freezer for future use. The last batch remained in cold storage for more than three days and sadly this was a mistake. When cooked it turned out to be so salty, we could hardly eat it.  It seems that leaving a piece of meat for a long time in the marinade makes it absorb more of the seasoning than it should. To validate this we turned to our Larousse Gastronomique Encyclopedia and looked up ‘marinating’

                    [Summary] => There are many variables that can affect agri-businesses which in turn, affect the price of agriculture commodities. Chief among these is the weather which can impact heavily on a farmer or a fisherman’s earnings. Extreme fluctuations in the weather have been known to drive up the price of vegetables and other produce. It is imperative therefore, for them to always be apprised of changes in local weather conditions, and conversely, for consumers to always know the prices of their products.
