At Arrowhead Stadium Sunday, October 13,
2013....
As you know the budget cuts have eliminated the military flyovers
at large events. Well, there's a group of guys in Kansas City who do some
formation flying with their own planes and decided they'd volunteer to pick up
the slack. They invited a couple of other groups to join them and before they
knew it they had 48 guys with their homemade RC airplanes signing up to join in.
If they had more time, they probably would have gotten an even larger group as
people kept joining and a 49th was added near the event. One additional feature
of the flyover was the use of pink smoke for cancer awareness. The folks from
the Guinness Book were there and are expected to confirm it as the largest
formation flight ever. And to top it off the crowd later set the record for the
loudest gathering at a football stadium.
The playoff games yesterday were wild... especially the
rain that came down at the second half in Cincinnati...
... and then there was the freezing temps in Green
Bay...

January 6th
National Shortbread Day
(My Scottish grandmother made the BEST! Looks just like this: Gonna
have to make some!)
What is Shortbread?
"Shortbread is a type of biscuit (cookie) which
is traditionally made from one part white sugar, two parts butter, and three
parts oatmeal (although plain white flour is common today, and other ingredients
like ground rice or cornflour are sometimes added to alter the texture).
Shortbread is so named because of its crumbly texture (from an old meaning of
the word short)." "The cause of this texture is its high fat content, provided
by the butter." "The related word "shortening" refers to any fat that may be
added to produce a short (crumbly) texture."
"Shortbread is not to be confused with
shortcake"
(like strawberry
shortcake) which is similar to shortbread but made using
vegetable fat instead of butter, giving it a different texture. By coincidence,
it is now understood that the short or crumbly texture is a result of the fact
that the fat inhibits the formation of long protein (gluten)
strands.
Baking procedure
Shortbread is baked at a low temperature to
avoid browning. When cooked, it is nearly white, or a light golden
brown.
