This is great Dave! I had heard of the coffee, but don't care how good it is. Not gonna try it!
As for the meat. Rare tastes better than well done anyway!

That raisin story is true...it is carried up by the bubbles that attached themselves to the wrinkles, and then as the pop off or deflate at the surface, the raisin sinks back down and repeats the process. I learnt this last week while making SIMA, and was fascinated by the raisins bobbing!

Almonds are one of only two nuts mentioned in the Bible..the other is the pistachio nut.
The almond is actually not a nut at all, but is a pitted fruit, more closely related to peaches and cherries than nuts.
It takes 1,000 pounds of almonds to make 1 pint of almond oil.
California produces 80% of the world's almond supply.

When the power goes out, the food in your refrigerator will stay cold enough to be safely eaten for 4-6 hours if you haven't opened the door.
A half-full freezer is safe for 12 hours, and a full freezer is safe for 2 days.

In Boston, Massachusetts it is illegal to eat peanuts in church.
In Lee County, Alabama it is illegal to sell peanuts after sundown on Wednesday.
In Greene, New York it is illegal (you ready for this?) to eat peanuts while walking backwards on the sidewalk, but only if there is a concert playing.
Hey....I'm not making this s&*t up folks....these are real laws.

Amazing. Makes you wonder what the heck happened, what kind of fight, accident, altercation came out of each event to end up being a cause to make a law for! Great fun info, Dave!

In the state of Massachusetts, it is illegal for any mourner at a wake to eat more than three sandwiches. It is also illegal in Massachusetts to use tomatoes while making your clam chowder.

In the United States, a pound of potato chips costs 200 times more than a pound of potatoes. Time to get out the deep fryer??? |
