I’m on a five hour delay at the airport in Lima, so here are pictures of some Very Good Dogs spotted in Peru (and a bunch of Very Good Cats chilling in a flowerbed).

On this tragic date, please remember the 6 @dcpublicschools kids & teachers from Backus, Leckie, & Ketcham Elementary Schools we lost on 9/11, 23 years ago today. Their pursuit of knowledge on a field trip to California ended tragically with the crash of Flight 77 at the Pentagon
The simple act of freezing has lasting benefits. Excited to share this new resource from AFFI that lifts the hood on how frozen food makers bring fruits, vegetables, finished meals and proteins to your freezer!
Join us on the path to frozen ❄️ Our newest resource explains how food is frozen, the science behind the simple act of freezing, and how it locks in farm-fresh taste and quality.

The team, the fans, we’ve been through a lot. This is so satisfying. What a great season and so much more to come. #Orioles

Happy #Fruits & #Veggies Month! DYK nearly half of all children ages 1-5 don't eat a single veggie on a daily basis? Having frozen fruits and veggies on hand makes it easier to eat more produce and it's just as nutritious!
