i meant to link to this the other day (products i can personally endorse)

BUT for a few weeks, i could NOT access my washingstonpost.com from my home laptop. finally, on firefox help i found a solution. tools to add-ons then under https-everywhere click options. THEN UNCLICK the wapo

worked like a charm!

and here's what i wanted to link to. and oh, by the way, i DO use a LOT of bob's red mill products. i LOVE THEM. not only are they tasty (and i'm believing healthier than most of the same type) BUT they're reasonably priced

Bob Moore: A man with a mill and a mission

By Suzanne Snider

Bob Moore’s office in the Portland, Ore., suburbs is filled with vintage model airplanes strung from the ceiling, a bucket of hard red wheat and a pile of books by Pliny, a 1st-century philosopher who wrote about the natural world. Moore has a thing for the past, but he can’t decide which days of yore he likes best. “I’m interested in everything,” he says. From his office window, he admires his 1931 Model A Ford, one of two he drives to work as founder and chief executive of Bob’s Red Mill. The man who is interested in everything built his business on one thing that has proved timeless: whole grains.
Sometimes the 82-year-old Moore starts the day at the upright piano on the mill floor. He’s a little more relaxed these days, no doubt because on his 81st birthday last year he began transferring ownership of the company, in the form of stock, to his employees. “I like partnerships,” he says...............

oh if you're wondering what MY personal favorite product of bob's is; well i'll tell you. it's the 10-grain hot cereal. really. it's delicious (here's what's in it: 10-Grain Cereal is made from stone ground high protein hard red wheat, rye, triticale, oat bran, oats, corn, barley, soy beans, brown rice, millet, and flaxseed. This is the hot cereal standard of the whole grain world, and we make)
