...but here in the US it is not illegal.  We do however always wear hair restraints, wash & sanitize our hand repeatedly and religiously, and keep a scrupulously clean floor in our kitchen and dining room.

That said, I see no harm.  Interesting that the UK has that reg. though.  Is it from the same set of regulations that cause me to have to disclose whether I visited a farm when coming home from there?  Some fear of mad cow or hoof and mouth or something?

"August in Iowa may be unbearable for humans"

I love the heat. 100, 110, 120....... I've lived in some really hot places, and live in a tropical climate right now and wouldn't have it any other way.

Climate change may allow lime trees to live through the summer in Iowa, but the winters would certainly still kill them, not to mention the problems that come with flooding. Alas. Maybe you can manage some kefir limes in a protected area. But you can't make salsa with kefir leaves. At least, I don't think you'd want to.

Sounds like a great salsa recipe. Our first tomatoes are nearly ripe now.
