The climate phenomenon known as “La Niña” occurs in years when Pacific Ocean waters off the coast of Central and South America become cooler than usual. La Niña tends to make the southwestern states drier, the southern U.S. warmer and drier, the northwest and north central states colder and snowier, and the mid-Atlantic and northeast warmer, resulting in more mixed precipitation for those folks.
Scientists believe that we could see a strong La Niña effect this winter. You can learn more about how La Niña might affect our weather at NOAA.gov.

We're proud to help keep America strong
Most folks don't know that the National School Lunch Program began in the years after World War II because so many recruits had been deferred from war-time service due to malnutrition. So serving meals at school began as a national defense strategy! School meals were good for kids, good for families — and good for our nation. And we're still here for you, day in and day out, all year long. Welcome back!!

Where do all of our crazy names for food come from?
Words of Mouth
This month: "Caesar Salad"
Caesar Salad was invented by (and named for) Caesar Cardini, an Italian immigrant to the U.S. who owned restaurants in San Diego, California and nearby Tijuana, Mexico in the 1920s. Legend has it that, on one especially busy day, his kitchen ran out of most food and so he improvised an elaborate tableside salad-tossing preparation to feed customers — and the Caesar was born. Cardini’s recipe included raw egg and anchovies, but today’s standard Caesar Salad features romaine lettuce, Parmesan cheese, croutons, creamy Caesar dressing (without the raw egg) or vinaigrette, and sometimes grilled chicken.
