In 1952, Ralston Purina first published a recipe for its now-famous Chex™ party mix as an advertisement in Life magazine. Although few people now make Chex™ mix (or any party mix) from scratch — especially since the advent of a pre-packaged version in 1985 — in this Iron Ladle Challenge, Erin, Sarah and Rachel are bringing back homemade party mixes.   With fun add-ins like Goldfish crackers and Sriracha, a preponderance of butter, and cups (and cups) of dry cereal, these fresh takes on classic recipes will inspire both nostalgia and creativity — just in time for the holiday season.  Erin's Spicy Sweet Tropical Party Mix Makes enough to fill 1 extra-large jade green Tupperware container (274-12) from the 80's. Combine in a very large bowl: 9 c assorted Chex™ cereals 3 c Bugles 2 c lightly salted peanuts 1.5 c small pretzels 2 c banana chips Heat in a small saucepan: 12 T butter 6 T Worcestershire sauce ½ c honey ½ c sriracha 1 t garlic powder 2 t salt When the butter is melted, transfer to a jar with a secure lid and shake well to fully combine the WORSHUSHER and sriracha with the melted butter. Pour the about a third of the liquid gold over the dry ingredients and stir gently, but thoroughly. Pour another portion of the tasty goodness over the cereal and such and stir. Finally, pour the last of the molten flavor over the crunchy bits and stir well, but don't crush the mixture. Spread the buttery mix onto two large cookie sheets. Bake at 275° for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. After 45 minutes, stir once more and increase to 325° and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. The mix will crisp up as it cools. It will fit perfectly in your grandmother's big green Tupperware container. Optional: if your party people enjoy spice, you can sprinkle on some chili powder or cayenne when it finishes baking. But use caution. There are no takebacks with cayenne. Rachel's Kid-Friendly Party Mix View this image of the original Chex™ Mix on the Wheat Chex™ box!  The Original Chex™ Party Mix | Nuts and Bolts Snack Mix Recipe  Adjustments:  Remove peanuts and/or mixed nuts. Half of my kids don't see the point. Replace with Goldfish crackers.   Add 1 cup parmesan crisps. (So good, especially when baked with Worcestershire sauce.)  Replace bagel chips/rye chips with oyster crackers (regrettably), since my local grocery doesn't sell these items separately from premade party mixes.*  Note for next time: Increase the butter. Maybe even double it.   *This wasn't as tasty as I thought it would be. If I do this again and still can't find bagel chips, I'll just swap in an extra cup of Chex™, or try a different add-in altogether.    Sarah's Puppy Chow Party Mix My inspiration is from this recipe from Bon Appetit: bonappetit.com/recipe/puppy-chow-party-mix   Yield Makes about 5 quarts (YES FIVE QUARTS)  Ingredients  1 12-ounce box Rice Chex™ cereal (about 10 cups)  7 ounces bittersweet chocolate (70% cacao), chopped (about 1¼ cups)  ¾ cup creamy peanut butter  ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter  1½ teaspoons kosher salt  1 teaspoon vanilla extract  2½ cups powdered sugar, divided  Add-ins 2 cups rye chips 2 cups butterscotch chips 2 cups thin pretzel sticks  Directions Place cereal in a large bowl. Heat chocolate, peanut butter, butter, and salt in a medium heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water (do not let bowl touch water), stirring, until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Pour chocolate mixture over cereal and toss with 2 spoons or spatulas until coated. Let cool slightly, about 10 minutes.  Transfer cereal mixture to a large clean bowl (so powdered sugar doesn't absorb into chocolate coating from original bowl). Sift ½ cup powdered sugar through a fine-mesh sieve onto cereal, coating entire surface. Toss to coat. Repeat 2 more times.  Transfer cereal mixture to 2 parchment-lined sheet trays, spreading evenly. Sift ½ cup powdered sugar over both trays (do not mix). Chill 2 hours or let sit at room temperature overnight (break into individual pieces, but leave some clumps, if sitting out overnight).  Transfer cereal mixture and powdered sugar from sheet trays to a large clean bowl and toss to coat. Sift remaining ½ cup powdered sugar over and toss to coat again. Add rye chips, butterscotch chips, and pretzels; toss to combine.  Do Ahead: Puppy chow can be made 2 days ahead. Store in an airtight container at room-temperature.  Connect with the Lutheran Ladies on social media in The Lutheran Ladies' Lounge Facebook discussion group (facebook.com/groups/LutheranLadiesLounge) and on Instagram @lutheranladieslounge.

What's wrong with Larry Abbot?  The radio star is having bouts of fear, perhaps a remnant of childhood trauma.  Otherwise, everything seems to be swell:  he's engaged to be married to his scene partner, the delightful Vickie Pearle.  But the radio show, hosted by the Manhattan Mystery Theater and lead sponsor Ralston-Purina are concerned about Larry's mental health, so they've hired Larry's Uncle Paul, a psychiatrist. to employ a radical cure that will rid Larry of his fears in no more than 36 hours.  And off go Larry and Vickie to Larry's ancestral stomping grounds, a palatial estate that bears a striking resemblance to, well, let's just say we've seen it before.  Just like the Abbot family butler, Pfister, and the maid, the diminutive Rachel – there's something familiar about them as well.  What's new are the cast of characters that assemble at the estate for Larry and Vickie's wedding – Larry's cousins Charles, Nora, Susan, and Francis Jr., all of whom seem to have ulterior motives of one kind of another, some of which may include death or inheriting the fortune of the family matriarch, Aunt Kate.  Will Larry and Vickie make it through the next couple days intact?  Will we, the audience, figure out what's really going on?  Maybe so, but we'll have to sit through all 82 minutes of this film to find out.

This podcast features independent consultant Dr Dottie Laflamme, a world-class expert in nutrition. In this session, Dr Laflamme will explore a broad view of nutrition in heart health, thinking beyond the current dietary guidelines provided by the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM) for managing canine myxomatous mitral valve disease. While the ACVIM guidelines focus on sodium, omega-3 fatty acids, and protein and caloric content, Dr Laflamme will explain how recent research has highlighted the importance of additional nutrients in cardiac health and disease. Key nutrients to be discussed include taurine, carnitine, antioxidants and magnesium, as well as alternative energy sources that can be easily utilised by hearts with cardiac insufficiency. Dr Laflamme will translate these insights into practical recommendations for vets managing cardiac conditions. ______________ Dr Laflamme received her DVM, MS in ruminant nutrition, and PhD in nutrition and physiology, all from the University of Georgia. She completed her clinical nutrition residency as an ALPO postdoctoral fellow in clinical nutrition. Dr Laflamme is a diplomate and past-president of the American College of Veterinary Nutrition. She is an author on more than 200 scientific and technical publications; and has been a speaker at a number of veterinary, research, and continuing education programmes worldwide. She worked for Purina (first Ralston Purina, now Néstle Purina) in the research and development department from 1990 until her retirement in 2015. Her research focused on therapeutic nutrition, especially obesity management, and geriatric nutrition. She currently works as an independent consultant. Dottie lives in the Blue Ridge Mountains of western Virginia. SPONSORED This podcast is sponsored by Purina UK.

For 35 years I've been a pioneering woman in manufacturing and construction, starting in 1986 as the first female operations manager in the US for Ralston Purina and later as one of the first female shareholders/managing directors for FMI. It's time for us to fix the diversity issue in construction, and I applaud NAWIC Australia - the National Association of Women in Construction - for their work in progressing their vision, "an equitable construction industry where women fully participate". The Chair of the Board, Kristine Scheul, joined the Greatness podcast to talk about the innovative strategies they are implementing to make this vision a reality. 

As a recruitment business owner, how do you balance internal operations while strategically generating revenue? In this episode, my special guest Kris Holmes shares fascinating insights and ideas on internal operations - from rewards and compensation, peer to peer evaluations, and culture.  Kris is an executive recruiter and partner at the O'Connell Group, which is a leading search firm in consumer marketing and market research. She is also the best-selling author of Ignite Your Career! which is a book she launched in July 2020. Before becoming a recruiter, Kris worked for a decade in consumer marketing with companies like Johnson & Johnson and Kraft Foods. She is also a member of the Pinnacle Society which is a consortium of industry-leading recruiters in North America. Episode Outline and Highlights [2:19] Kris shared the biggest challenge she's faced in her 25 year recruitment career.  [14:10] Internal recruitment is a major challenge for recruiting firms - what are some best practices and KPIs? [20:06] How to manage internal operations while strategically generating revenue. [23:46] An insightful approach to rewards and compensation. [30:26] Peer to peer evaluation - effective metrics to measure performance. [33:25] The four steps O'Connell Group are taking to face the C19 challenge. [37:30] How to add new revenue streams including coaching services. [40:00] What inspired Kris to write Ignite Your Career? [44:45] The “One-Two punch” business development approach.  [48:00] Stoicism - its relevance today for recruiters. Insights on Recruiter Compensation, Company Culture and the Power of Peer to Peer Evaluations In this episode, Kris was able to share insightful approaches on different aspects of managing internal operations. One of the best practices she shared is the compensation program that they implemented that effectively rewards the “superstars” or their high performing recruiters. She also shared their practice of peer to peer evaluations, on which they evaluate each other's performance using at least 20 peer metrics! Hear this fascinating idea from Kris. Although the mentioned practices sound like it would create a very competitive environment, you might be surprised at how O'Connell is able to inculcate a very nurturing and supportive culture for its employees. This has fostered fantastic staff retention and enabled some of their employees to stay with them for more than 15 years. Game Plan to Address the Challenge of Covid19 How does Kris plan to lead O'Connell Group through the C19 crisis successfully? This is what she said: “I've been doing this for 25 years. I've seen September 11th, I've seen the Financial Crisis. I have never seen anything like this that is rocking everybody to their core… But the steps we're taking work. Our philosophy is whenever we go into these times of crises, where we cannot control the external market, we can control what we do. And so we have taken many steps.” Listen to the four steps that they are proactively taking that you may find also beneficial to your recruitment business. Yes, this may not be a good year, but with focus and determination, Kris was able to confidently say:  “This is not gonna be a good year at all. But I think we're gonna come out of it much stronger than when we went into it because we've been very strategic and focused on how we streamline, cut cost, and how we increase our capabilities going forward.” Kris Holmes Bio and Contact Info Kris Holmes is an executive recruiter and partner at O'Connell Group, a leading executive search firm in consumer marketing and market research.

On this date in 1981, more than two miles of streets in Louisville, Kentucky, were destroyed by a sewer explosion. Here are some things you might not have known about the incident. A Ralston Purina soybean processing plant suffered a massive leak of hexane, which was used as a solvent to extract soybean oil. Hexane is a highly flammable chemical that is a component of gasoline.  The hexane entered the city’s sewer and gradually spread through the system, just waiting for a spark. At 5:16 a.m., a car near the intersection of 12th and Hill streets ignited sewer gases, triggering a series of explosions near the University of Louisville.  Police officers in a helicopter said the blasts resembled a military bombing run. More than two miles of sewer lines were destroyed, and nearby homes and businesses were heavily damaged. Water lines to other homes and businesses were cut, leaving some residents without water for weeks. No one was killed in the explosions. Ralston Purina paid $18 million to the Louisville sewer district and almost $9 million to the more than 16,000 plaintiffs who suffered damages. The company admitted releasing hexane, but denied negligence. Our question: Louisville serves as the worldwide air hub for what package delivery company? Today is World Radio Day, and Children’s Day in Myanmar. It’s unofficially Clean Out Your Computer Day, National Tortellini Day, and Oatmeal Monday. It’s the birthday of the first person to break the sound barrier, Chuck Yeager, who is 94; Duke University basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski, who is 70; and musician Peter Gabriel, who is 67. This week in 1981, the top song in the U.S. was “Celebration” by Kool and the Gang. The No. 1 movie was “Fort Apache, The Bronx,” while the novel “The Covenant” by James Michener topped the New York Times Bestsellers list.  Before the break we asked: Louisville serves as the worldwide air hub for what package delivery company? The answer is UPS. Now for our weekly question: In what city was UPS founded? Submit your answer at triviapeople.com/test and we’ll add the name of the person with the first correct answer to our winner’s wall … at triviapeople.com. We'll have the correct answer on Friday’s episode. Links Follow us on Twitter, Facebook or our website.
