Its base ingredient is often ground beef. However, others use turkey and buffalo, too. The other elements give it its flavor, though. Onions, tomato sauce, brown sugar, cola or maple syrup to sweeten it and seasonings to spice it – and of course, any secret ingredient families may add over the years. All of it is served up on a hamburger bun or roll. And is it ever sloppy! Be sure to grab more than one napkin!</span></span></div>

In Havana, Cuba, in the 1930s, there was a genuine bartender who gained popularity with vacationers who went by the name of Sloppy Joe. He earned his name for his less than enthusiastic way of cleaning the bar. He was, however, an attentive bartender, and the bar was a hot spot for the jet set.</span></span></div>

It opened in 1927, and during the 1930s, Maplewood’s Mayor Sweeney traveled to Havana, where he met the bartender named Sloppy Joe and was served a delicious sandwich. The mayor came back to New Jersey and with a well-developed taste for Joe’s sandwich. The mayor enjoyed it so much he asked one of <a href="https://www.townhalldeli.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Town Hall Deli’s</a>proprietors, Fred Heinz, to replicate it. According to the website, “It was made with coleslaw, ham, cow tongue, swiss cheese, with lots of dressing and was served on thin rye bread. Hence, the origin of the Sloppy Joe sandwich and how Town Hall Deli of South Orange became The Birthplace of the Sloppy Joe!”</span></span></div>

Whether it’s an unusual spice, a novel ingredient for sweetening or a homemade tomato sauce, a Sloppy Joe lends itself to originality and personality. A new flavor is just around the corner. In the south, you might come across a barbecue flavor while in the north, Sloppy Joe might be a little sweeter. Whatever your flavor, it is undoubtedly an all-American food holiday!</span></span></div>

It is one of the few Irish place-names, meaning, one who came from Slane in County Meath. Local names usually denoted where a man held his land, and indicated where he actually lived.</span><br /></span></div>

<div class="yiv5997321632articleAttrSection" style="clear: left; margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">
<p style="line-height: 1.3em; margin: 0px 0px 0.3em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">So your corned beef is in the pot, you've checked it with a fork, but you're scratching your head wondering if it's "fork tender" and asking yourself "How do you know when corned beef is done cooking?" Well, the answer is simple! If you have a meat thermometer handy, insert it into the meat (being sure not to touch the sides or bottom of your cooking pot!), and check the internal temperature. Corned beef should be cooked to a minimum of 145 degrees Farenheit for the ideal tender, juicy result. <br /><br />Another very common question is "Do you rinse corned beef<strong> </strong>before<strong> </strong>cooking?" And the answer is yes, absolutely (unless you want a very salty result). Don't worry that this will rinse away all the flavor, though! All you're doing is removing the excess salt which has been infusing the meat with loads of flavor, up until cooking time--it's <em>supposed</em> to be removed before going on the heat! That little seasoning packet will continue adding plenty of delicious flavors to your recipe as it cooks, and you won't miss that excess salt.</span></p>

On March 17th, many will wear green in honor of the Irish and decorate with shamrocks. In fact, the <em style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">wearing of the green </em>is a tradition that dates back to a story written about St. Patrick in 1726. St. Patrick ( c. AD 385–461) was known to use the shamrock to illustrate the Holy Trinity and to have worn green clothing. They’ll revel in the Irish heritage and eat traditional Irish fare, too.<br /></span></span></div>

While the holiday has been a bit more of a rowdy one, with green beer, parades, and talk of leprechauns, in Ireland, it the day is more of a solemn event. It wasn’t until broadcasts of the events in the United States were aired in Ireland some of the Yankee ways spread across the pond.

<p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; margin: 30px auto; width: 726.333px;"><span style="margin-left: 0px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">According to the California Artichoke Advisory Board, artichokes are a good source of antioxidants, vitamin C, folate, and magnesium. The antioxidants in artichokes are very good for your liver and help promote healthy skin. Artichokes are also high in fiber, calcium, and protein while low in calories. These reasons, plus being fat-free and cholesterol-free, make artichokes a healthy and delicious food to celebrate!</span></span></p>

Don’t let the artichoke heart fool you. They’re more versatile than they seem. Eat them as a snack or add them to dips or sauces. They also make excellent toppings on pizzas and flatbread. Toss them into the skillet for a savory sauté or infuse them into a broth. Artichoke hearts just might turn into a healthy addition to your cooking routine!</span></span></p>

<p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; margin: 30px auto; width: 726.333px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">On March 15th, National Kansas Day recognizes The Sunflower State. Magnificent herds of bison, elk, mule deer, and antelope roamed the vast open plains populated by Cherokee, Osage, Pawnee, and many other tribes. The region became a part of the United States with the Louisiana Purchase in 1803.</span></p>
<p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; margin: 30px auto; width: 726.333px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Generations of travelers came to Kansas as the country expanded. From the <a href="https://www.nps.gov/lecl/index.htm" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="color: indianred; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Corps of Discover</a> in 1804 to the <a href="https://www.nps.gov/poex/learn/historyculture/index.htm" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="color: indianred; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Pony Express</a>, all the roads in Kansas seemed to point westward.</span></p>
<p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; margin: 30px auto; width: 726.333px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.gptm.us/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="color: indianred; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Railroads</a> brought rapid settlement to the territory and with it the divisive decision for citizens regarding statehood. Would Kansas be free or slave? The debates turned so vicious, the territory earned the name “<a href="https://www.kshs.org/index.php?url=john_brown" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="color: indianred; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Bleeding Kansas</a>” before entering the union on January 29, 1861, as the 34th state and free.</span></p>
<p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; margin: 30px auto; width: 726.333px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">With the railroads, <a href="https://www.kshs.org/cottonwood_ranch" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="color: indianred; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">ranching</a>, livestock, and agriculture grew. The verdant, fertile soil of the Kansas farmland made the state the Breadbasket of the World.</span></p>
<p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; margin: 30px auto; width: 726.333px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Frank L. Baum even depicted farm life for one young girl named Dorothy in his books about a place called Oz. <em>The Wonderful Wizard of Oz</em> took the world by storm, especially when Hollywood put Judy Garland, Ray Bolger, Jack Haley, Bert Lahr, Frank Morgan, Margaret Hamilton, and Billie Burke in the cast. There was indeed no place like home, no place like <a href="https://ozmuseum.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="color: indianred; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Kansas</a>.</span></p>
<p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; margin: 30px auto; width: 726.333px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">One of the most critical decisions in Civil Rights history took place in Topeka, Kansas. The appeal of <a href="https://www.nps.gov/brvb/learn/historyculture/topeka.htm" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="color: indianred; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Brown vs. the Board of Education</a> was brought before the Supreme Court of the United States in 1954. What had started with groups of parents and teachers in all-black schools in communities across the country had finally culminated in a final decision. Separate but equal violated the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.</span></p></div>Oregon Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07304465767994530731noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659560304253498376.post-27681286440558129162024-03-14T07:00:00.000-07:002024-03-14T07:00:53.436-07:00Weather ~ Picture of the Day ~ Interesting About California ~ Pimento Cheese Deviled Eggs ~ Vanette (Ford) Christensen ~ National Potato Chip Day<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgONwyHcJyPlGgzkZYDf70r5-HXKayWKPmohaQch5GLAEQhdybZKUn9FKFkzbv1V0xJ6rlwNzoSBEEj7qro3sty_8Kqagh7TEpdMV-dr1_rZY8dufL4LFotvKjPRyKj4rywmC60M2FozfXfTDzEMaaMaHlMmiz488rA_zRx5BEN75kRMldP2pJrrIA4d5nd/s420/Untitled.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="420" data-original-width="281" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgONwyHcJyPlGgzkZYDf70r5-HXKayWKPmohaQch5GLAEQhdybZKUn9FKFkzbv1V0xJ6rlwNzoSBEEj7qro3sty_8Kqagh7TEpdMV-dr1_rZY8dufL4LFotvKjPRyKj4rywmC60M2FozfXfTDzEMaaMaHlMmiz488rA_zRx5BEN75kRMldP2pJrrIA4d5nd/s320/Untitled.jpg" width="214" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"> </span><p></p>

Chef George Crum decided to slice the potatoes as thin as possible, frying them until crisp and added extra salt. To the chef’s surprise, the customer loved them. The crispy potatoes soon became a regular item on the restaurant’s menu under the name of “Saratoga Chips.”</span></div>

The name carried into grocers when bakeries made the chips in larger batches. They shipped them by wagon to the restaurants and grocers by the barrel. The grocers sold them to private families by the pound. Folks were instructed to bake the chips in a hot oven for a few minutes, and the chips would be as crisp as if fried that same day.</span></div>

Optometrists are <a class="yiv6785297917mw-redirect" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care_professionals" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="background: none; color: #3366cc; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank" title="Health care professionals">health care professionals</a> who typically provide comprehensive eye care.</span></p>

<p style="background-color: white; color: #202122; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">In the United States and Canada, optometrists are those that hold a Doctor of Optometry degree. They are trained and licensed to practice medicine for eye related conditions, in addition to providing refractive (optical) eye care. In the United Kingdom, optometrists may also practice medicine (and provide refractive care) for eye related conditions. The Doctor of Optometry title can also be used in the UK for those that hold the postgraduate O.D. degree. Within their scope of practice, optometrists are considered physicians and bill medical insurance(s) (example: Medicare) accordingly. Moreover, many participate in academic research for eye-related conditions and diseases. Optometrists receive training in refraction and monitoring of common uncomplicated eye conditions. They are not trained in any forms of surgery or laser procedures. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophthalmology" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="background: none; color: #3366cc; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank" title="Ophthalmology">Ophthalmologists</a> are medical doctors and surgeons who typically hold a four-year college degree, a four-year medical degree, and at least four years of residency training after medical school.</span></p>

The root word <em>opto</em> is a shortened form derived from the Greek word <em>ophthalmos</em> meaning, "eye." Like most healthcare professions, the education and certification of optometrists are regulated in most countries. Optometric professionals and optometry-related organizations interact with governmental agencies, other healthcare professionals, and the community to deliver eye and vision care.</span></p>

<p style="margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Optometrists typically complete four years of undergraduate studies followed by four years of Optometry school. Some complete a 5th year of training. Their program is highly specific to the eyes and related structures. Optometrists receive their medical eye training while enrolled in Optometry school and during internships. Training may take place in colleges of Optometry, hospitals, clinics and private practices. In many instances Optometry students and Ophthalmology residents will co-manage medical cases. Instructors may be Optometrists, professors or physicians. The program includes extensive classroom and clinical training in geometric, physical, physiological and ophthalmic optics, specialty contact lens evaluation, general anatomy, ocular anatomy, ocular disease, pharmacology, ocular pharmacology, neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of the visual system, pediatric visual development, gerontology, binocular vision, color vision, form, space, movement and vision perception, systemic disease, histology, microbiology, sensory and perceptual psychology, biochemistry, statistics and epidemiology.</span></p>

The day celebrates a kindly legend who lived by sage teachings and labored to bring the shade of fruit trees across much of the United States.</span></div>

Not much is known about his early life other than his mother died when he was two. His father packed up Johnny and his sister (an infant brother had died the previous year) and moved to Springfield, Massachusetts. His father served as a Minuteman and fought at Bunker Hill.</span></span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Then in 1797, Chapman shows up in northwestern Pennsylvania, propagating his apple seeds. He worked his way steadily into the frontier of West Virginia, Ohio, and Indiana. Eventually, Chapman became known as Johnny Appleseed and worked his way as far west as Illinois and Iowa and as far north as Michigan and Wisconsin.</span></span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">In his wake, he left orchards and the teachings of Emanuel Swedenborg, a Swedish spiritual leader. Appleseed would buy his books with whatever payment he might receive for his endeavors. In turn, Johnny would give the books away as he traveled and planted.</span></span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Mostly, though, he planted his seeds and seedlings for free along with his wisdom, his broad-brimmed pasteboard hat keeping the sun from his eyes as he went. Often shoeless, he traveled mostly by foot and sometimes by horseback or canoe. His appearance was nearly as noteworthy as his accomplishments, but so was his kindness. Farmers and frontier folk always found a place at the table if Johnny Appleseed came visiting.</span></span></div>

Bringing the trees back to health would be his chief endeavor while dispersing wisdom, care, and kindness as he did.</span></span></div>
<h5 style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1em; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Landmarks</span></h5>

The last known Chapman tree still lives! In rural Ashland County, Ohio, the tree struggles to survive, but half of it still manages to bloom in the spring.<br /></span></span></div>

The September date is Appleseed’s acknowledged birth date. However, many people across the country prefer the March date due to the planting season.

So easy in fact, you'll throw those take out menus right into the trash!<br /><br />Some home chefs may be intimidated by egg rolls, since they are such a take out staple. But we're here to let you know that there's no reason to be! In the video below, we'll show you exactly how easy it is to make these chicken egg rolls. All you need to do is blend a few delicious ingredients, roll them up in an egg roll shell, and fry until golden brown and crispy. They're so easy to make that you'll wonder why it took you so long to give them a try at home! And, since they're ready in under 15 minutes, these Chicken Egg Rolls make a great <a href="http://www.mrfood.com/Appetizers/Off-the-Hook-Cocktail-Spread-1355" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">last-minute appetizer</a>, too.<br /><br />Of course, we also love these homemade chicken egg rolls because they taste amazing. The crunchy veggies combine with soy sauce and ginger, plus chicken of course, for a filling that's bursting with flavor. Once you add the satisfying crunch of the egg roll wrapping, you have an appetizer that's so delicious you'll want another egg roll as soon as you've finished your first. This recipe is great for a party, but you may want to make a few extras since everyone is sure to want second helpings!<br /><br /></span></p>

<div class="yiv5631627826userEdit">
<p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; margin: 30px auto; width: 736.333px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Daylight Saving Time begins on the second Sunday in March in the USA. The practice gives people an extra hour of sunlight in the evening by setting the clock ahead one hour on a predetermined date each year.</span></p>
<p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; margin: 30px auto; width: 736.333px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">The practice of Daylight Saving Time (DST) advances clocks during the summer months. It causes us to lose an hour for one day. However, the practice allows people to get up earlier in the morning and experience more daylight in the evening. Typically, users of DST adjust clocks forward one hour near the start of spring. Then, they change them back again in the autumn.</span></p>
<p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; margin: 30px auto; width: 736.333px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">The system has received both advocacy and criticism. Setting clocks forward benefits retail business, sports, and other activities by exploiting sunlight after working hours. However, the practice causes problems for evening entertainment and other activities tied to the sun or darkness. For example, farming and fireworks shows are both affected.</span></p>
<p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; margin: 30px auto; width: 736.333px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Although some early proponents of DST aimed to reduce the evening use of incandescent lighting, usage patterns differ greatly. Additionally, research about how DST currently affects energy use is limited or contradictory.</span></p>
<p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; margin: 30px auto; width: 736.333px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Problems sometimes caused by DST clock shifts include:</span></p>
<ul style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.4; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 2.5em 0px 30px;">
<li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Complicating timekeeping.</span></li>
<li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Disrupting meetings, travel, billing, record keeping, medical devices, heavy equipment</span></li>
<li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Impacting sleep patterns</span></li>
</ul>
<p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; margin: 30px auto; width: 736.333px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Software often adjusts computer clocks automatically, but this can be limited and error-prone. In addition, programming is particularly problematic when various jurisdictions change the dates and timings of DST changes.</span></p>
<h3 style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px; position: relative; width: 736.333px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">HOW TO OBSERVE</span> </span></h3>
<ul style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.4; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 2.5em 0px 30px;">
<li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Besides adjusting our clocks, it’s important to adjust our sleep schedules, too. Many of us go into the time change sleep deprived. Don’t do this during Daylight Saving weekend.</span></li>
<li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Start preparing your body and anyone in your household for an earlier bedtime.</span></li>
<li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">That includes pets. Their potty and feeding schedules will need to be adjusted, too. Start a few days before if at all possible.
</span><ul style="line-height: 1.4; list-style: disc; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 2.5em 0px 30px;">
<li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">In the end, you and your entire household will be able to benefit from the additional sunlight in the evenings by enjoying outdoor activities without feeling the drag of lack of sleep.</span></li>
<li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Another way to celebrate the day might include writing your representatives in Congress. According to the National Congress of State Legislatures, nearly every state has tackled the issue of daylight saving time and whether to end it or not. Even at a federal level, the issue has been brought to the table a time or two.
</span><ul style="line-height: 1.4; list-style: disc; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 2.5em 0px 30px;">
<li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Of course, most importantly, be sure to turn your clocks ahead.</span></li>

</li>
<li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;">
<p style="margin: 30px auto; width: 736.333px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">George Vernon Hudson from New Zealand proposed the modern version of daylight saving in 1895. Germany and Austria-Hungary were the first countries to use it starting on 30 April 1916.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 30px auto; width: 736.333px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">The energy crisis in the 1970s accelerated the growth of Daylight Saving Time. It has been argued that more natural light in the evening hours uses less electricity due to less artificial lighting requirements. As a result, many retail shops and tourist attractions also enjoy more business.</span></p>

<p style="color: #333333; margin: 30px auto; width: 736.333px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Flapjacks were a staple of pioneers pursuing new lives on the frontier. Packed with nutrients and energy, flapjacks provided the fuel they needed to withstand the often arduous trails.</span></p>
<p style="color: #333333; margin: 30px auto; width: 736.333px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Stacked high, flapjacks remind us of mornings in grandma’s kitchen when the coffee was fresh. We topped them with fresh blueberries and real maple syrup. Maybe today you add pecans or walnuts, thick-sliced bananas, and your favorite nut butter. Fresh whipped cream always makes flapjacks seem extra special, too.</span></p>
<p style="color: #333333; margin: 30px auto; width: 736.333px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">No matter where you go, the flavor and aroma of hot off-the-griddle flapjacks never go wrong. They’ll fuel you up for a day of hiking, playing, exploring, and celebrating, too!</span></p>

<p style="color: #333333; margin: 30px auto; width: 736.333px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Everyone loves flapjacks, they’re filling and delicious, but now there’s an even better reason to eat them all day long. This March 7th, join Kodiak Cakes in celebrating National Flapjack Day — but it’s not just a celebration of all things syrup, butter, and breakfast. It’s an excellent excuse to indulge in a staple food that’s been an important part of adventures of any size since the days of the frontier.</span></p>
<p style="color: #333333; margin: 30px auto; width: 736.333px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Before over-processed ingredients and nutrient-deprived grains, meals needed to be balanced, hearty, and full of ingredients that could keep folks going. That’s the legacy Kodiak Cakes is dedicated to preserving through our flapjack mix, a mix that began with our founder Joel Clark and a small red wagon.</span></p>
<p style="color: #333333; margin: 30px auto; width: 736.333px;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Back then, he took to the neighborhood streets to sell brown bags of his mother’s heirloom recipe. Today, Kodiak Cakes has taken that same dedication to the national spotlight. So, grab a stack, split a few silver dollars, or fill a plate with your favorite flavor – Happy National Flapjack Day.</span></p></div>Oregon Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07304465767994530731noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659560304253498376.post-48645095765703129032024-03-06T06:44:00.000-08:002024-03-06T06:44:58.460-08:00Weather ~ Picture of the Day ~ Bald Eagles ~ Cabbage/Sausage Casserole ~ National Dentist's Day ~ National Oreo Cookie Day<p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAX-0UE57hSzqkp8lMD_jehuHPsCXgcKLtyuhHqy9HIerxS-1kika35seAsGteiatfg3sl5DgxMDyt6vNKFXqryrk9xlkAScaw5cippSUuikJISeM7JGGREASQwGj-aS1d-mUYsFYZwlAZVbPpA9t-LPGYppA2jztlQ8ZuRnG4bdMWe7ymPyBxhO_7nyaL/s419/Untitled.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="419" data-original-width="287" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAX-0UE57hSzqkp8lMD_jehuHPsCXgcKLtyuhHqy9HIerxS-1kika35seAsGteiatfg3sl5DgxMDyt6vNKFXqryrk9xlkAScaw5cippSUuikJISeM7JGGREASQwGj-aS1d-mUYsFYZwlAZVbPpA9t-LPGYppA2jztlQ8ZuRnG4bdMWe7ymPyBxhO_7nyaL/s320/Untitled.jpg" width="219" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p>

However, when our checkup is done, our teeth are cleaned, the cavities are filled, the broken tooth is fixed, or a toothache is gone, we appreciate what the dentist has done for us.</span></span></div>

They create plans of care and make our smiles look great, too.<br /></span></span></div>

<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">As the only day on the calendar that is mnemonically (intended to assist memory) a military command, March 4th recognizes National Hug a G.I. Day.</span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Gather around your servicemen and women to give them a hug. It’s simply a way to show your support. With either a pat on the back or hearty handshake, be sure to give both past and present G.I.s your appreciation. While G.I.s refer to Army personnel, the day encompasses all those who have served in the military. So, hug those Jarheads, Wingnuts, Squids and Coasties, too!</span></span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Today the term G.I. is fairly commonly known to refer to those serving in the Armed Forces of the United States of America. How that came to be is a little less military protocol and more the American story.</span></span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">It seems at the turn of the 20th century, G.I. was a notation used in supply records for galvanized iron. It was later used during World War I for German artillery shells made from galvanized iron.</span></span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Sometime during the war soldiers started interpreting the initials as “Government Issue” or “General Issue”. By the time World War II came around it was starting to gain meaning as the generic enlisted man.</span></span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Not surprisingly, sarcastic usage among many servicemen was common, feeling they were just like any other Government Issued supply being mass-produced for Uncle Sam.</span></span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">About that time G.I.

While an attorney, Key was serving in the Georgetown Light Field Artillery during the War of 1812. In 1814, his negotiation skills as a lawyer were called upon to release Dr. William Beane, a prisoner on the British naval ship, <em style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Tonnant</em>. Early in September, Key traveled to Baltimore in the company of Colonel John Skinner to begin negotiations.</span></span></div>

The trio waited at sea to return to Georgetown.</span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Fort McHenry is built on a peninsula of the Patapsco River. Just across the Northwest Branch is the city of Baltimore. In 1814, the population of Baltimore was roughly 50,000 people, hardly the metropolis it is today. The country itself was still young, and often families of soldiers lived nearby, providing support to their soldiers.</span></span></div>

As the 190-pound shells began to shake the fort, mother nature brought a storm of her own. Thunder and rain pelted the shore along with the bombs and shells. Throughout the night, parents, wives, and children in their homes could hear and feel the bomb blasts across the way. There were reports of the explosions being felt as far away as Philadelphia. It was a long night of fear, worry, and providing comfort to one another.</span></span></div>

Being a religious man, one who believed the war could have been avoided, he watched the bombs bursting in air over the water and steadily pummeling Fort McHenry. It was undoubtedly a sight to behold.</span></span></div>

The Fort answered with their own with almost no effect.</span></div>

Sewn<span style="background: rgb(245, 246, 245); border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> a few months before by Mary Pickersgill and her daughter,</span> the enormous banner replaced the storm flag, which had flown during battle.</span></span></div>

Well, maybe not ALL the old stuff, but some of it. It’s a day to break out of the old routines and experience new ones.</span></span></p>

There is no limit to how you can change up your day. Take a moment to recognize the things that you do each day. Is there a better, more efficient way? Examine the route you take to work. Evaluate how you fold laundry. Perhaps there’s an improved way of cleaning windows. </span></span></p>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Leap Day is every fours years....almost. It's every four years except years ending with "00" that are not divisible by 400. The year in which Leap Day occurs, is called a Leap Year.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Why the fancy calculation? The earth rotates around the sun once every 365 and about 1/4 days. So, by adding an extra day every four years, we get mighty close to keeping the calendar consistent with the earth's annual trip around the sun. And to be very precise, the earth orbits the sun every 365.242190 days. So, on years ending in "00", (except those not divisible by 400) we skip Leap Year and Leap Day. With all that fancy calculating out of the way, let's just celebrate the day.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"> </span></div>

A souffle is a lightly baked cake made with egg yolks and beaten egg whites that are combined with other ingredients to make the dish either a savory main dish or a sweet dessert.</span></span></p>

A variety of cheeses, jams, fruits, or chocolates can be baked into the base of the souffle. Many souffle bakers like to puncture the top of the souffle after removing it from the oven. Then they pour mouth-watering sauces onto it, such as chocolate, vanilla, or for a savory flavor cheese and herbs.</span></span></p>

It’s one way our children develop good dental hygiene. </span></span></p>
<p style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"> </span></p>
<p style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Like some of the fantastic creations who oversee children, the tooth fairy is a relative newcomer to the world of childhood fantasies.</span></p>
<h5 style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">1920s</span></span></h5>
<p style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">In the mid-1920s, fairies were used for all sorts of health education, from bath fairies to fresh air fairies as a way to get kids to remember to eat their vegetables, wash behind their ears and get a good night’s rest. Like toothpaste today advertises fruity flavors and sparkles to get kids excited to brush their teeth, in 1925, it was probably quite a bit more difficult considering the pastes were mostly peroxide and baking soda. One advertisement was for a Fairy Wand Tooth Whitener. This product promised to brush away cigarette and coffee stains. The ad was aimed at both children and adults, we hope!</span></p>
<p style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Then in 1927, Esther Watkins Arnold printed an eight-page playlet for children called The Tooth Fairy. The same year Sir Arthur Conan Doyle “proved” his claim that fairies and gnomes are real and “verified” with pictures of two little girls surrounded by fairies. The world was ripe with imagination and primed to have a tooth fairy to come collect the lost teeth of little boys and girls and leave a coin or two behind.</span></p>
<p style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Arnold’s play began to be performed in schools the following year, and the tooth fairy has been slipping into homes ever since. She (or he) started leaving nickels and dimes under the pillows of sleeping children. Over the years, there have been variations on the theme.</span></p>

<p style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Children’s author, <a href="https://katiedavis.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="color: #336699; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out 0s;" target="_blank">Katie Davis</a>, created the February 28th observance of National Tooth Fairy Day. While there is also an August 22nd observance, it is interesting to note the two observances are six months apart and the American Dental Association’s recommendation to have cleanings twice annually</span></p>

<div class="yiv9847762078userEdit" style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Polar bears can reach a height of 9 ft tall and a weight of 1400 pounds. They use their large, slightly webbed front paws to paddle as they swim. As they are powerful swimmers, some polar bears swim hundreds of miles from land. However, some of the distance may have been covered by floating on sheets of ice.</span></div>

Scientific evidence suggests but does not prove that eating 1.5 ounces per day of most nuts, such as pistachios, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.” US Food and Drug Administration, July 2003</span></span></p>

<p style="background-attachment: initial; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">The empty pistachio shells are useful for recycling in several ways. If unsalted, the shells need not be washed and dried before reuse, but washing is simple if that is not the case. Practical uses include as a fire starter; kindling to be used with crumpled paper; to line the bottom of pots containing houseplants for drainage and retention of soil for up to two years; as a mulch for shrubs and plants that require acid soils, as a medium for orchids; and as an addition to a compost pile designed for wood items that take longer to decompose than leafy materials (it can take up to a year for pistachio shells to decompose unless soil is added to the mix). </span></span></p>

Many craft uses for the shells include holiday tree ornaments, jewelry, mosaics and rattles. Research indicates that pistachio shells may be helpful in cleaning up pollution created by mercury emissions.</span></span></p>

In the United States where excessive salt is considered unhealthy, salt is stored in the shaker with the fewer holes, but in parts of Europe where pepper was historically a rare spice, this is reversed.<sup class="yiv8925430640reference" id="yiv8925430640cite_ref-15" style="line-height: 1; text-wrap: nowrap;"></sup> In the UK, salt was often poured onto the side of one's plate and used for dipping, rather than shaken across the whole dish, hence salt cellars having a single, larger, hole.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">The shakers may also be simply labelled "pepper" and "salt" or "p" and "s" (in some cases the latter may be formed of the holes for pouring), or may be colored white for salt and black for pepper. Many salt and pepper shakers are transparent, in which case they need not be otherwise distinguished.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">As an alternative to salt and pepper shakers, pepper may be distributed at the table by use of a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burr_mill" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #3366cc; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank" title="Burr mill">pepper grinder</a>, while salt may be distributed from a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_cellar" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #3366cc; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank" title="Salt cellar">salt cellar</a> or a salt mill.</span></p>

<p style="background-color: white; color: #202122; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">A lawn mower (also known as a mower, grass cutter or lawnmower) is a device utilizing one or more revolving blades (or a reel) to cut a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawn" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="background: none; color: #3366cc; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank" title="Lawn">grass surface</a> to an even height. The height of the cut grass may be fixed by the design of the mower but generally is adjustable by the operator, typically by a single master lever or by a mechanism on each of the machine's wheels. The blades may be powered by manual force, with wheels mechanically connected to the cutting blades so that the blades spin when the mower is pushed forward, or the machine may have a <a class="yiv2472992013mw-redirect" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_(electricity)" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="background: none; color: #3366cc; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank" title="Battery (electricity)">battery</a>-powered or <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power_plugs_and_sockets" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="background: none; color: #3366cc; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank" title="AC power plugs and sockets">plug-in</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_motor" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="background: none; color: #3366cc; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank" title="Electric motor">electric motor</a>. The most common self-contained power source for lawn mowers is a small (typically <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-cylinder_engine" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="background: none; color: #3366cc; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank" title="Single-cylinder engine">one-cylinder</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_combustion_engine" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="background: none; color: #3366cc; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank" title="Internal combustion engine">internal combustion engine</a>. Smaller mowers often lack any form of self-propulsion, requiring human power to move over a surface; "walk-behind" mowers are self-propelled, requiring a human only to walk behind and guide them. Larger lawn mowers are usually either self-propelled "walk-behind" types or, more often, are "ride-on" mowers that the operator can sit on and control.

<p style="background-color: white; color: #202122; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Two main styles of blades are used in lawn mowers. Lawn mowers employing a single blade that rotates about a single vertical axis are known as rotary mowers, while those employing a cutting bar and multiple blade assembly that rotates about a single horizontal axis are known as cylinder or reel mowers (although in some versions, the cutting bar is the only blade, and the rotating assembly consists of flat metal pieces which force the blades of grass against the sharp cutting bar).</span></p>

<p style="background-color: white; color: #202122; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">There are several types of mowers, each suited to a particular scale and purpose. The smallest types, non-powered push mowers, are suitable for small residential lawns and gardens. Electrical or piston engine-powered push-mowers are used for larger residential lawns (although there is some overlap). <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riding_mower" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="background: none; color: #3366cc; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank" title="Riding mower">Riding mowers</a>, which sometimes resemble small tractors, are larger than push mowers and are suitable for large lawns, although commercial riding lawn mowers (such as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-turn_mower" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="background: none; color: #3366cc; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank" title="Zero-turn mower">zero-turn mowers</a>) can be "stand-on" types and often bear little resemblance to residential lawn tractors, being designed to mow large areas at high speed in the shortest time possible. The largest multi-gang (multi-blade) mowers are mounted on <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tractor" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="background: none; color: #3366cc; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank" title="Tractor">tractors</a> and are designed for large expanses of grass such as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golf_course" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="background: none; color: #3366cc; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank" title="Golf course">golf courses</a> and municipal parks, although they are ill-suited for complex terrain.</span></p>

Another roller placed between the cutting cylinder and the main or land roller could be raised or lowered to alter the height of cut. The grass clippings were hurled forward into a tray-like box. It was soon realized, however, that an extra handle was needed in front to help pull the machine along.

The dish was first created around 1943 by Ignacio “Nacho” Anaya. Nachos are tortilla chips served with melted or shredded cheese, and often additional toppings are added, such as meat, salsa, refried beans, tomatoes, diced onion, lettuce, olives, jalapenos, guacamole and sour cream.</span></span></div></div>Oregon Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07304465767994530731noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659560304253498376.post-70545505638674525482024-02-23T07:01:00.000-08:002024-02-23T07:01:59.353-08:00Weather ~ Picture of the Day ~ Interesting about Grocery Stores ~ Veal with Artichoke Hearts ~ Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day<p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbS1q42Si8Bux84E_THdinvT3x4L3nrjIDr5yAWg14Yol6uLZIXNeppYz1fJ2S-3P6U1ArPE0hKrFjtConam0ki8PlZIE5oF5rjBOm_XauA9pft_F36UrOzU8ACYl_3JEEc3WnQfPdYYgXziBPeoCA3zdGJ7oNwjbQVqHKHTTgSZ2dmC5iS0PWmMV5aLo5/s419/Untitled.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="419" data-original-width="290" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbS1q42Si8Bux84E_THdinvT3x4L3nrjIDr5yAWg14Yol6uLZIXNeppYz1fJ2S-3P6U1ArPE0hKrFjtConam0ki8PlZIE5oF5rjBOm_XauA9pft_F36UrOzU8ACYl_3JEEc3WnQfPdYYgXziBPeoCA3zdGJ7oNwjbQVqHKHTTgSZ2dmC5iS0PWmMV5aLo5/s320/Untitled.jpg" width="221" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p>

This day is also observed around the world as International Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day.<br /></span></div>

<div class="yiv2657182027userEdit" style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Dog biscuits come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and flavors. They serve to reward a man’s best friend for good behavior as part of their training. Dog owners may also give a biscuit to show their canine companions just how much they love them, too. Sometimes, dog biscuits serve to deliver vitamins and medicines we may have difficulty getting our pooches to take otherwise.<br /></span></div>

<div class="yiv2657182027userEdit" style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Specialty treats offer dogs and their owners so much to chews from! Even dogs on restricted diets won’t have trouble finding a dog biscuit that’s gentle on their tummy. Others help keep teeth healthy and fresh, too! What better reward could you ask for?</span></div>
