Flying M Mobile Feed Store
T
he backbone of caring for any horse is the local feed store. There isn’t a week that goes by that something isn’t needed,
from hay to hoof care or accessories. But as much as the feed store is needed, it is also one of the major drawbacks to suburban horse owners who are short on time for feed trips after work or on weekends. That is until now for local Houston equestrians. Flying M Mobile Feed Store heard all the horror stories of trying to get the feed store before it closed or on weekends when you are also stuck with family obligations and came to the rescue. Their mobile van carries most everything you could possible need for your horse and more. A simple call brings you the things your horse needs right to your door without rearranging your busy life. Owned and operated by the Menchaca family, they began their mobile service supplying local FFA kids in the Northwest Houston area, but have now expanded to reach the equine barns and owners in the area. With their one day service, for most orders, they have feed and supplies for all types of farm animals as well as the family pet dog or cat. Call them today and let them do the running for you. With their fully stocked van, they can accomadate all your needs and save you gas and time.
Spring Strawberry Cups Ingredients: • 1/2 cup (3 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream • 3 cups sliced fresh strawberries Directions: In a heavy saucepan, melt chocolate chips with cream over low heat. Remove from the heat. Refrigerate, stirring occasionally. For pourable ganache, cool chocolate mixture until it reaches 85°-90° and is slightly thickened, about 40 minutes. In dessert glasses, spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chocolate ganache. Using the back of a teaspoon, carefully smooth ganache upwards to create an attractive swirl or flower petal pattern. Arrange strawberries in glass. Yield: 8 servings.
