Food trivia : (yes some more wonderfully useless info!!)
Some things are not what they seem. Did you know the following facts?

Rice paper does not contain one grain of rice - its made from either Rice straw, Bamboo, Hemp, Mulberry leaves, Wingceltis or Gampi.

Ten gallon hats only hold about 6 pints. (that's totally useless)

Refried beans aren't really what they seem. Although their name seems like a reasonable translation of Spanish frijoles refritos, the fact is that these beans aren't fried twice. In Spanish, refritos literally means "well-fried," not "re-fried."

The hamburger was invented in 1900 by Louis Lassen. He ground beef, broiled it, and served it between two pieces of toast. (sowhen when you have no buns and put it onbread it's the right way after all, huh?..)

The pound cake got its name from the pound of butter it contained. (I thought it was called # cake because it would make you gain them after eating it..)

The world's costliest coffee, at $130 a pound , is called Kopi Luwak. It is in the droppings of a type of marsupial that eats only the very best coffee beans. Plantation workers track them and scoop their precious poop. (Yummy, anyone want a cup?)

To determine the percentage of alcohol in a bottle of liquor divide the proof by two. (I'm sure most of you all ready knew that)

Spilling salt considered good luck in Japan.

The most recognized smell in the world is coffee.

About 8 percent of the weight in a box of corn flakes is corn.(what's the rest of it???)

Just some more useless information...

And coming soon to a blog near you..that's right...yep that's it.Ok i really have
no idea...I guess you will have to stop by yourself...

You Know U Have To Much Time on Your Hands When....

You spend time looking up this...


Jell-o Factoids
* Grapefruit, apples and pears will float in Jell-O; prunes and
maraschino cherries won't.
* When hooked up to EEG machine, Jell-O demonstrates movement virtually
identical to the brain waves of a healthy man or woman.
* Per capita consumption is highest in Salt Lake City.
* If all of the packages fo Jell-O gelatin dessert produced in one year
were placed end-to-end, they would stretch three-fifths of the way
around the earth.

THREE COOKS JOKE
Three cooks, one from Kentucky, one from California and one from Oregon were sitting on a park bench passing the time. Suddenly, the cook from Kentucky reaches under the bench and drags out a new bottle of bourbon, takes a big swig, tosses the bottle into the air and shoots it with a pistol.
"What did you do that for?" asks the cook from California.
"We got lots of bourbon in Kentucky" was the reply.
Next the cook from California takes out a bottle of fine wine, takes a huge swig, throws the bottle into the air and shoots it with a pistol.
"What did you do that for?" asks the cook from Oregon.
"We got lots of wine in California" was the reply.
The cook from Oregon takes out a bottle of Henry's Private Reserve beer, takes a humongous swig and shoots the cook from California.
"What did you do that for?" asks the cook from Kentucky.
"We got lots of Californians in Oregon" was the reply.


Have a great day i gotta run...Thats right it's shower time...then I have to get some shuteye...

I Bid Farewell to a Fabulous Culinarian
OBITUARY: NY Times
Julia Child, 91, Dies; She Entertained as She Taught Cooking
By REGINA SCHRAMBLING
Julia Child, whose warbling, encouraging voice and able hands brought the intricacies of French cuisine to American home cooks through her television series and books, died in her sleep three days before what would have been her 92nd birthday.

Julia Child was one classy lady, and she will be missed by all. I grew up watching her cook and thought to myself that is what I wanted to accomplish when I get older. Well here I am now, and as a dedicated culinarian making my way through the crazy world of food. She is one person I would have loved to have meet. I know she would be proud of my passion and enthusiasm. But I truly enjoy watching Julia cook, laugh, and especially her guests. Her lively spirit will always be in my heart and mind to encourage me to be just like her one day.. She is my ICON!!!! We MISS you Julia!

Weekends Are Pretty Cool!!!!

That's right I was off on a weekend! I hear you saying it...wow! Well yes I did enjoy my weekend. Mingled with the monday thru friday crowd. Sat. night I ate out at a mexican joint. It was quite yummy, they had some Guy playing guitar, contempary rock stuff. He was pretty good for a solo act. The one thing about weekends that suck are the crowds on the roads and the stores have a million people buy this or that. It is kind of nice to see what it is like to have a weekend off...it not part of my usual routine.

So i hope all you mon thru fridayers have a pleasant ...And this one's for you!!!

A Friend's Prayer
May the fleas of a thousand camels infest the crotch of the person who screws up your day and may their arms be too short to scratch.Amen

How Ya'll Doing???

Only two more days to go till I get to be off from work. So today will be day 9. I know what your thinkin' ...that it sucks. Well it sure does. but enough of that shop talk. Onward...!!!


OF COURSE I'M TIRED
Yes, I'm tired. For a couple years I've been blaming it on iron, poor blood, lack of vitamins, dieting and a dozen other maladies. But now I found out, it ain't that. I'm tired because I'm overworked.The population of this country is 237 million. 104 million are retired. That leaves 133 million to do the work.There are 85 million in school, which leave 48 million to do the work.Of this there are 29 million employed by the federal government. This leaves 19 million to do the work.Four million are in the Armed Forces, which leaves 15 million to do the work.Take from the total the 14,800,000 people who work for State and City Government and that leaves 200,000 to do the work.There are 188,000 in hospitals, so that leaves 12,000 to do the work.Now, there are 11,998 people in Prisons. That leaves just two people to do the work.You and me.Boy Oh Boy..And you're sitting there reading this. No wonder I'm tired; I'm the only one working.

That's all folks. Look for another blogg entry at a computer near you

Food For Thought!!

Every day, birds eat 1/2 their own weight in food! So, why do people say that a poor eater "eats like a bird?" If this were the case, a 50 pound child would consume 25 pounds of food a day.


PEPSI AND COCA COLA in China--A Little Humor! PEPSI'S "Come Alive With the PEPSI Generation" Slogan, when translated into Chinese, means "PEPSI Brings Your Ancestors Back From the Grave." The COCA COLA name in China was first read as "Kekoukela," meaning "Bite the wax tadpole" or "female horse stuffed with was," depending on the dialect. COKE then researched 40,000 characters to find a phonetic equivalent. The new name is KOKOU KOLE, which means "happiness in the mouth."

As you can see I have to much time on my hands????
Here's a little hint for good health...


Why Healthy Snacking Is Good for You and I. Healthy snacks can be a great way to get all the vitamins and neutriants our bodies need. I sometimes have noticed that I feel hungry a lot. This is natural for people of all ages. Small, healthy meals and snacks are a terrific way to satisfy that nagging hunger. But we need to pay attention to what we eat. Stuffing my face with a large order of fries after before a long busy nightmay give mea temporary boost, but a snack this high in fat and calories will only slow me down in the long run. And I don't need that...
To keep your energy levels going consistently - and to avoid weight gain - I steer clear of foods with lots of simple carbohydrates (sugars) like candy bars or soda. I look for foods that contain complex carbohydrates (starches) like whole-grain breads and cereals or eat protein-rich snacks such as low-fat yogurt or cottage cheese. There's nothing like a bowl of cereal..in the afternoon. It's quick and easy and will keep my energy level even until the next meal. So if you're on the late lunch plan but haven't eaten since breakfast at 6:00 AM,(i not speaking of me this is just an example) toss some fruit or trail mix into your backpack, purse, or breif case.That way you won't feel tempted to grab unhealthy vending machine when that hunger hits. Another plus that I have found with sncking, i don't over eat at meals. That's a big plus for me..Or should I say a Minus in the making.

I hope everyone has a happy healthy day...:')
