Many Old World Doc Meats Dry Ice Tips Dry Ice is frozen carbon dioxide, a normal part of the Earth’s atmosphere. Dry ice is particularly useful for freezing, and keeping things frozen because of its very cold temperature: -109.3 Degrees F or –78.5 degrees C. Dry ice changes directly from its solid form to a gas, (sublimation) in normal atmospheric conditions without going through a wet liquid stage. As a general rule, dry ice sublimates at a rate of 5 to 10 pounds every 24 hours in a typical ice chest. This sublimation continues from the time of purchase, so it is best to pick up dry ice as close to the time needed as possible. During the Halloween season, dry ice has a few fun applications. It is perfect for making foggy cauldrons and witch’s brew. Dry ice combined with hot tap water can produce vigorous bubbling water and voluminous flowing fog. |
When making fog, for each 15 minute period, put 5 to 10 pounds of dry ice into 4 to 8 gallons of hot water. This will make lots of fog depending upon the temperature of the water and the size of the pieces of dry ice. Hotter water will make more fog. Very hot water will add its own steam to the vapor cloud. If there is no steam, the fog will flow down hill and in the direction of any air movement.
To make smokey, bubbly beverages, use 2 to 4 pounds of  dry ice for each gallon of room temperature punch. Use large pieces of dry ice, not small pieces. It is heavier then regular ice, and will sink to the bottom. Do not use regular ice! Dry ice will do the cooling, and must not be eaten or swallowed. Too much dry ice will freeze the beverage, so have extra standing by. When most of the dry ice has sublimated it will surround itself with ice and float to the topAlways handle dry ice with care and wear protective thick cloth or leather gloves whenever touching it. An oven mitt or towel will work. Prolonged contact with the skin will freeze cells and cause injury similar to a burn. Treat dry ice burns the same as regular heat burns. See a doctor if the skin blisters or comes off. Otherwise, if only red it will heal in time as any other burn. Apply antibiotic ointment to prevent infection and bandage only if the skin area needs to be protected. Dry ice is available year round at the Meat counter, and will be available at our cash registers the last week of October. Being Cheesy Ain’t Always Easy The unusually active hurricane season, which has included the monster storms like Katrina and Rita, are taking a toll on Looking for that special cheese for you upcoming |

themselves weathered the storms that raged from Florida to Texas, their sales have taken a direct hit. The devastation of retail establishments, restaurants and casinos and the dramatic curtailment of tourism in the Southern United States has significantly reduced the customer base for cheese makers in the south. At Bittersweet Plantation Dairy alone, hurricane Katrina slashed sales by more than 50 percent.
These Louisiana hand-crafted cheeses are just delightful!! Each one comes with a story and a “birthday” so that you know exactly what degree of ripeness it is at. The quality is exceptional and we are very pleased to carry these products. Serve with your favorite fruity wines and a fine bread or cracker.
