TODAY IN FOOD HISTORY
* National Tortilla Chip Day*
Swamp Cabbage Festival
Did you Know????
The Cabbage Palmetto (Sabal palmetto) is native to the Southeastern U.S. and the Caribbean. Also known as Cabbage palm and Swamp Cabbage. This is the plant that hearts of palm are obtained from. The tender hearts of the terminal bud or young leaf shoots. Hearts of palm have many layers (similar to leeks), and are a pale ivory color, with a very mild nutty flavor. They are used mostly in salads. The state tree of South Carolina is the Cabbage palmetto, and is also on the state flag.
Enough of that serious stuff>>>>Silly thoughts to bring a chuckle to your day!!
Buffalo meat is getting more popular. I suppose soon we can expect cold cuts made from it -- possibly called "buffaloney." (okay i didn't come up with that by myself, it was an old one)
On a diet? Try a rice cake? The only way you know you're eating something is when you open your mouth to talk, stuff floats out. I think i would rather eat carrot sticks!!
Or worse yet fast food... It's called "fast" food because you're supposed to eat it really fast. Otherwide, you might actually taste it.
The big problem with "fast" food is that it slows down when it hits your stomach. And it just parks there--and lets the fat have time to get off and apply for citizenship.
I really do hate to cook, whenI wake up in the morning. For breakfast I would be happy eating a tub of Cool Whip. It even goes well with coffee. Thank goodness for my coffee, sometimes I think that without it I would rarely make it to work. If I could just move the coffee pot into the bedroom....hmmm. That's the best idea so far...today!!!
well cheeros, I gotta get to bed...so i can do it again ....
A view of the world from the stance of Laura and Greg K.-C. A healthy Happy place to be on this crazy planet we call earth!!

Water yourself
Water, water, everywhere - but do we have to drink it all?
Only 3% of the world's water is drinkable. The rest is either contaminated, or seawater, or both.
In terms of volume, 75% of your bone is made up of water. Water also figures large in terms of body tissue. It plays a vital role in supplying oxygen to cells, as well as temperature regulation, waste removal and the everyday running of all major organs.
You can go about four weeks without food, but only three days without water.
For maximum health, experts reckon you should drink approximately two litres of water (eight glasses) each day. Coffee and booze don't count, because both have a diuretic effect on the body. Caffeine and alcohol both serve to squeeze water from cells, which means you lose more fluid than you take on board.
If you wait until you're thirsty before you reach for that glass, then you're already dehydrated and the damage is done.
When the body is dehydrated, it often sends out signals that are misread as hunger pangs. Mild dehydration actually slows down body metabolism, so you're losing out on two counts if you let your water intake slip.
A little dehydration can leave you feeling tired as well as messing with your short-term memory. Start to feel a bit parched, and simple mental tasks could seem like a massive Jedi mind challenge.
It's advisable for pregnant women to increase their daily water intake to meet the needs of the developing foetus. Mothers who breastfeed should also keep spinning the cold tap to replace fluid used in milk production.
So drink as much water as you can. You really can't drink to much!! An on top of that your body will thank.. Cheers to happy drinking! Of coarse i'm talking about water!!

TODAY IN FOOD HISTORY*
National Chocolate Mint Day
1847
The Donner Party is rescued after being snowbound in the Sierra Nevadas. Almost half of the original 87 members died, and some of the survivors seemed to be well fed considering the ordeal they went through. Cannibalism itself is not a crime, and no charges were ever brought.
1906
Battle Creek Toasted Corn Flake Company (W.K. Kellogg Company) was founded by Will Keith Kellogg to manufacture breakfast cereals (cornflakes).
1913 Cracker Jack began to put prizes in each box.
1985 Cherry Coke was introduced. Actually, soda fountains (remember them?) had been making them for decades.
1999
The world's largest strawberry shortcake was created in McCall Park, Plant City, Florida, the Winter Strawberry Capital of the World. The city holds the Guinness record for the world's largest strawberry shortcake, over 6,000 pounds.
LOST IN THE TRANSLATION
The Dairy Association's huge success with the campaign "Got Milk?" prompted them to expand advertising to Mexico. It was soon brought to their attention the Spanish translation read "Are you lactating?"Coors put its slogan, "Turn It Loose," into Spanish, where it was read as "Suffer From Diarrhea."When Gerber started selling baby food in Africa, they used the same packaging as in the US, with the smiling baby on the label. Later they learned that in Africa, companies routinely put pictures on the labels of what's inside, since many people can't read.Pepsi's "Come Alive With the Pepsi Generation" translated into "Pepsi Brings Your Ancestors Back From the Grave" in Chinese.The Coca-Cola name in China was first read as "Kekoukela", meaning "Bite the wax tadpole" or "female horse stuffed with wax", depending on the dialect. Coke then researched 40,000 characters to find a phonetic equivalent "kokou kole", translating into "happiness in the mouth."Frank Perdue's chicken slogan, "It takes a strong man to make a tender chicken" was translated into Spanish as "it takes an aroused man to make a chicken affectionate."
Pretty interesting stuff!!! Things that make you go hmmmm....

For Chocolate Lovers
-->-->
February 14, 2005
Aside from cupids, hearts and flowers, one thing is synonymous with Valentine’s Day. Chocolate.
Among South American tribes, chocolate was considered a food of the gods. For many people it remains just that. However, chocolate does contain fat and a number of calories.
The fat in chocolate is a combination of saturated and unsaturated fat and does not appear to increase blood cholesterol levels. A serving of chocolate contains about as much caffeine as one cup of decaffeinated coffee.
Research shows that chocolate contains antioxidants that may help prevent cholesterol from sticking to artery walls, reducing your risk of a heart attack or stroke. Chocolate also contains flavonoids, which are the same compounds that give red wine and tea their disease-preventing benefits. The darker the chocolate, the more antioxidants and flavonoids it contains.
Don’t forget the amount of chocolate you eat can make a difference in your calorie intake, so enjoy it in moderation.

It's not just a dessert, it's a lifestyle...
That’s right folks were talking about:
flan - n.
1. A tart with a filling of custard, fruit, or cheese.
2. A custard that is baked in a caramel-lined mold and served chilled with the caramel side up.
(pronounced "flon" or "flawn")
For some reason at work we get the oddest food ideas. I think sometimes it’s to keep our minds off whats really going on. It’s just a minor distraction…Today is my Bosses last day so this is a little tribute to the sense of humor he brought into our kitchen. It’s been great Chef D. L. , thanks for all the practical jokes and pulling my leg. I don’t know how you did it every time…and I always fell for it…peace out!!!
by Anonymous (They were probably too embarrassed to admit they wrote this)
Roses are red,
Flan is yellow
Sugar is sweet
Won't you be my fellow?
Flan
i love flan, its tastes the best,
i love it so much i have a flan fest.
flan, o flan! you are so cool,
just thinking of you makes me drool
Alternative Uses for Flan
Flan has so much potential that it is a shame it has been stereotyped as a dessert for so long. Never again! It's time to bring flan back into the mainstream. Here are a few suggestions for other ways to harness the power of flan.
Move over inflatable furniture! Flan-iture is all the rage in
Do you have trouble relaxing? Do your hard days at work make it hard to sleep at night? Your problems are solved with the Sounds of Flan. This six disc set releases your inner flan, helping you relax. The sounds on these discs are made from real flan, no imitations here. The discs include sounds of wild flan in nature, underwater flan, and performances by the Flan Symphony Orchestra.
Do you find it hard to look at the world through your own dreary eyes? Wouldn't life be much more fun if everything looked like flan?!
Now, ladies and gentlemen, you too can step into the eyes of Señor Flan and Flanita (I would say shoes, but while the metaphor would make more sense, it would be inaccurate since these are flantact lenses, not flan sneakers). Ok, so really that made no sense, can we forget that last marketing ploy and just say that you're completely uncool if you don't have flantact lenses. Everyone is doing it!!
Okay it's true... My ideas get more bizzarre everyday!!! I'm sure if I make myself laugh or if I am totally confused???? Okay it is funny, you can't deny it... So i'm nuts..or should i sprinkle nuts on my FLAN. Hold on let me ask Senor Flan and Flanita!!!!! There looking at me like I'm crazy... just like you are thinking. I think it's past my bed time, don't you...
Flan is seriously under-represented on the world wide web. We here are trying to change that, little by little. So please, pass the magic of flan on to your friends

· You're asked in school to name the four seasons and you reply, "Onyons, celery, bell peppers, and garlic."
· You think the "Fab Four" are "Paul Prudhomme, John Folse, Justin Wilson, and A.J. Smith".
· You let your black coffee cool and find it has gelled.
· You describe a complete breakfast as some deer sausage, grits and a yard of boudin.
· None of your favorite vacation spots are north of Abbeville.
· You sit down to eat boiled crawfish and someone says, "Don't eat the dead ones" and you know what they mean.
· You refer to Louisiana winters as "gumbo weather"
· You gave up Tabasco for Lent.
· You learned bourre' the hard way - holding yourself upright in the crib.
· You don't know the real names of your close friends - only their nicknames.
· You can look at a rice field and can tell how much gravy it'll take for that much rice.
· Your high school's rendition of the national anthem begins with, "Jambalaya, crawfish pie, filet gumbo..."
· You stand up when they play "Jolie Blon."
· You consider Breaux Bridge the state capitol.
· You think the Mason-Dixon line is at Bunkie.
Culinary quiz for Wed:
1) What do basil, marjoram, oregano, sage and rosemary have in common?
2) What are the only two food preferences humans are born with?
3) What are the top 3 'farmed' fish crops in the U.S.?
ANSWERS
1) They are all in the mint family.
2) Humans only have two basic food preferences that we are born with; a liking for sweet foods, and a dislike for bitter foods. All other preferences are learned, either culturally or by personal experience which may cause us to associate certain tastes or foods with unpleasant or pleasant moments. Medical disorders may also cause a craving or revulsion for certain foods.
3) Catfish is the largest 'crop', followed by crawfish and the third largest 'crop' is rainbow trout.
So I hope this has been humorous for you 'cause it has been for me..and maybe a little informative???

FEBRUARY 3 National Carrot Cake Day
Cookies Anyone???
This week the big football game is in J-ville. Greg working down at the stadium on the kitchen crew through the rest of the week, to make a little extra money. Here’s an interesting fact: they are baking 14,000 cookies a day. What’s more interesting, they are all homemade, you know from scratch. WOW!! I’m impressed. So if any one gets down to the stadium..make sure to a cookie.
The origin of Cookies: Two issues to deal with here. The word and the food. The food, originated in Rome sometime around the 3rd century B.C., and it was called 'bis coctum' meaning twice baked.
The Roman 'bis coctum' was not sweet, it had no sugar added. 'Bis coctum' is the origin of the word 'biscuit,' which is a flakey quick bread in the U.S., but in England a biscuit is what in the U.S. would be called a cookie or cracker.
Small sweet cakes that are similar to cookies probably originated around India or Persia around the 7th century, possibly because that's where sugar cultivation started.
The origin of the word:
Sugar was added by the Dutch and they called it 'koekje', meaning little cake. The Dutch took them to America in the 18th century and the word became 'cookie.'
Why is it traditional to make fork marks on Peanut Butter Cookies?
Most recipes for peanut butter cookies call the the dough to be mixed with a fork, and made into balls that are then flattened with the fork.My guess is that the practice just evolved from the nature of the dough, and that the easiest way to make the cookies was to roll the dough into balls and flatten the balls with the fork, leaving fork marks. The criss-cross would follow because it is a little creative and artistic.Also, consider that peanut allergies are fairly common, and the distinctive markings make peanut butter cookies easily identifiable, giving further reason for the tradition to be continued.
So that’s that’s the skinny on cookies!!! I bet you didn’t know all that! The marks on the peanut butter cookies, we really don’t know it’s really just a guess. So who ever invented they thanks because I love them.

So I read a book and it made the wheels in my head turn.
It’s funny sit back and think things over. Not the ha haa type of funny but more the look how far I’ve come. Or even pondering where am I’m I going and how am I going to get there. Or even where am I going? Am I doing things the right way? What is the right way? Do I believe in karma, and if so…well this what I think!!!
"IT'S MY KARMA"
One of the most messed views of karma is the idea that nothing can be done about it. No matter how terrible our situation , there is always something we can do, even if it's just dealing with it as best we can with a patient smile, a good attitude and a loving heart. (Maybe a good bit of humor ) The time will come when we will be through with this stretch of the hard road,( it may be a long road, but that’s why there is patience) and it's best to come out of it with no bitterness. Remember, no one has done this to me, it is a result of my own actions, thoughts or words. In patience I can and will overcome it and rise again to an even greater level than before. Again, keep in mind that in the worst situation often lies the greatest opportunity…
THAT'S JUST AN OPINION..BUT i THINK ITS WISE IN SOME WAYS!!
Lesson of the day read a good book and you will never know what comes to your mind.
The book I read was a Culinary/murder mystery.
