with buns, first appeared around WorldWar I.If you’re from the North East United States, •you might be familiar with disco fries, but fortherestofus,here’sadefinition.Discofries are served with mozzarella and gravy and are a popular diner food.Belgians claim that French fries are really •a Belgian invention. Belgians also prefer their fries with mayonnaise, not ketchup.If you thought you’d seen everything that •could be fried, think again! Paula Dean, Food Network’s Queen of Southern Cui-sine, has a recipe for deep-fried cranberry sauce fritters.Refried beans aren’t actually re-fried. Fri-•joles refritos, as they are called in Span-ish, literally means well-fried not refried.McDonald’s in India doesn’t sell beef pat-•ties. Indian Big Mac patties are made of vegetables with Indian spices thrown in.It might be an urban legend, but some •people claim that beetles taste like apples and crickets taste like peanuts.Eel in a drink? You betcha! Japanese drink •makers released Unagi Noboki, surging eel, one year ago this month.The average American eats 46 slices of •pizza a year.

INTERESTING EDIBLES :(continued)The island nation of Grenada in the Carib-•bean was named for the pomegranate. So was grenadine syrup and the grenade. All come from the Latin root word punica gra-natum, which means pomegranate.The ancient •Egyptians be-lieved that the onion, with its concentric rings, was a symbol of eternal life. The onion was firstintroduced to North America with Christopher Columbus in 1492.Have you ever wondered just why you well •up when you chop an onion? When cut, fresh onions release a gas that irritates the eye, which in turn causes the tear ducts to try and relieve the eye. There are hundreds of tips on how to prevent those unwanted tears. Some cooks suggest running the onion under cold water before cutting.Oil and vinegar just go together, even in •ancient times, and both have been used by the Italians for centuries. Ancient Roman women would massage olive oil over their pregnant bellies to prevent stretch marks and balsamic vinegar has been produced in Italy since the Middle Ages.Thewordpineapplefirstappeared in the•English language to describe pine cones back in 1398. The fruit itself is a native of Brazil and Paraguay.Georgia and Texas are the two major pea-•nut producing states in the U.S. We’re glad to have them when we’re eating our peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Did you know it takes 850 peanuts just to make one jar of peanut butter? Now there’s something that will stick to the roof of your mouth!More sweet facts: peaches will not get •sweeter once they are picked. They will get softer and juicier, but not sweeter.Bourbonwasmadetheofficialspiritofthe•United States in May of 1964. September 2007 was declared National Bourbon Heri-tage Month by the U.S. Senate.Did you know the largest milkshake ever •made was mixed up in New York back in 2000? It weighed a whopping 6,000 gal (22,712 L)How do they do that? The pocket in pita •bread is made by steam. It expands through the dough as it cooks. As the bread cools, itflattens,leavingapocketinthemiddle!What’s the difference between Cajun and •Creole? For those outside of Louisiana, it mightbealittlehardtotell.Creolewasfirstused to describe city cooking with Span-ish, African, German, Italian and West In-dian influences. Cajun food was country

cooking developed by the Acadians who learned to live in the Louisiana swamp-lands. Creole is more continental and so-phisticated where Cajun is more seasoned and hearty.The Australian favorite Vegemite celebrat-•ed the sale of its one billionth jar in Oc-tober of 2008. Did you know Aussies call JELL-O jelly and jelly jam?Did you know that if you drop a raisin in •a glass of champagne or other carbonat-ed beverage it will bounce up and down? So, what’s the reason? Carbon dioxide bubbles are caught in the irregularities on the surface of the raisin. When enough bubbles accumulate, they will lift the raisin to the surface, where the bubbles escape, causing the raisin to sink back down to the bottom. This will repeat so long as there is enough carbon dioxide to lift the raisin again.Biscotti refers to a specific type of hard•cookie here, however the word biscotti is an all encompassing word for biscuits in Italy.British biscuits are what Americans call •cookies.The firstOreowas sold in 1912, but the•modern Oreo with the logo embossed on the cookie didn’t arrive until 1952.What are cookies without ice cream? •America’sfirsticecreamparloropenedin1776 in New York City.

On July 15, 1888, the Bandai •volcano erupts on the Japanese island of Honshu, killing hundreds and burying many nearby villages in ash. The explosive eruptions sent debris thousands of feet into the air and left an 8,000-foot-wide crater in the earth. The resulting cloud of ash and steam was estimated at 4 miles wide.

On July 18, 1925, seven months after •being released from Landsberg jail, Nazi leader Adolf Hitler publishes the first volume of his personalmanifesto, “Mein Kampf” (“My Struggle”). The autobiographical work soon became the bible of Germany’s Nazi Party.

OnJuly19,1935,thefirstautomatic•parking meter in the U.S., the Park-O-Meter invented by Carlton Magee, was installed in Oklahoma City by the Dual Parking Meter Company. Twenty-foot spaces were painted on the pavement, and a parking meter that accepted nickels was planted in the concrete at the head of each space.

On July 16, 1948, “Key Largo,” •starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, opens in New York. The film, about a mobster holdingguests hostage in a Florida hotel during a hurricane, was the last of three movies that Bogart and Bacall made together.

On July 17, 1955, Disneyland •-- Walt Disney’s metropolis of nostalgia, fantasy and futurism -- opens. The park was not ready for the public: food and drinks ran out, a women’s high-heel shoe got stuck in the wet asphalt of Main Street USA, and the Mark Twain Steamboat nearly capsized from too many passengers.

On July 14, 1968, Atlanta Braves •slugger Henry “Hank” Aaron hits the 500th home run of his career in a 4-2 win over the San Francisco Giants. Aaron retired from baseball in 1976 with 755 home runs and was later named to the Baseball Hall of Fame.

On July 13, 1985, at Wembley •Stadium in London, Prince Charles and Princess Diana officially openLive Aid, a worldwide rock concert organized to raise money for the relief of famine-stricken Africans. The 16-hour “superconcert” was globally linked by satellite to more than a billion viewers in 110 nations.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your Ar-ies leadership qualities can help bring or-der out of all that confusion, whether it’s on the job or in the home. But be careful to guide, not goad, others into following you.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Applying a more personal view to a job-linked is-sue could help provide better insight into those persistent problems. Use your keen Taurean logic to cut through the double-talk.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Taking some time off could be the best way to get through that seemingly endless round of demands. You’ll return refreshed and ready to tackle things from a new per-spective.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Restor-ing a sagging professional relationship takes a lot of effort. By all means, state your position. But also make sure you pay close attention to the other person’s point of view.LEO (July 23 to August 22) A hot pros-pect intrigues the Big Cat, who is always on the prowl for a promising investment. But be careful that this “promise” has a chance of being kept. Check it out more carefully.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A friend could use some of your compas-sion and concern. If he or she doesn’t ask for help, be sure you step up and make thefirstmove.Also,checkoutanewca-reer possibility.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might have difficulty getting youropinions heard because of all the noise being made by the other side. But hang in there. Others should line up with you once they learn the facts.SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Offering to help a colleague is commend-able. But before you commit your time and effort, check to see if that person’s situation is all that he or she has led you to believe it is.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to De-cember 21) You should soon be seeing positive results from your recent efforts on behalf of a family member. On another matter, check that you have all the facts regarding a job assignment.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your aspects favor closer family rela-tionships this week. Take time for visits, whether in person, by phone, by mail or in cyberspace. Let them know how impor-tant they are to you.AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A missed opportunity isn’t always a nega-tive. Maybe your instincts are telling you not to rush into something you “thought” was worthwhile. Make time for family this weekend.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your sense of humor helps you get through a tricky situation. But some stick-in-the-muds might not be so willing to make the changes that you and others agree are necessary.BORN THIS WEEK: You have a gift for making everyone you know -- or even just met -- feel important and welcome in your life.

FOR WEEK OF JULY 13, 2009


Typical costs for a new baby can run between $11,000 and $16,000 for the firstyear.Bythetimethechildturns18,you’ll have spent more than $200,000. If you’re thinking of starting a family but the state of the economy makes you hesitate, “The Wall Street Journal Fi-nancial Guidebook for New Parents” by Stacey L. Bradford (Three Rivers Press, $14.95) offers many how-to ideas and suggestions. Here are some highlights:

Maternity leave. If you work, learn •the specifics of you company’s ma-ternity- or paternity-leave policy. It might not be what you expect. If you assume you’ll automatically get a cer-tain amount of time off with disability payments, and you end up with no salary at all, you need to know that in advance. The size of the company dictates what it’s obligated to give you -- if anything. The Guidebook tells you your rights.Health-care costs. Health insurance •and medical care can be two of the biggest expenses you’ll have. The Guidebook explores both flexiblespending accounts and health sav-ings accounts. It’s possible, for ex-ample, to set up a FSA with pre-tax dollars to pay for day care once you go back to work.Saving for college while you save for •your own retirement. Rule of thumb: The kids can take out school loans, but you’ll need money in place for re-tirement. Work versus day care. Is it really •cheaper to give up your job and stay home to save on child-care costs? According to the Guidebook, day care could cost you upward of $30,000 per year, depending where you live, but if you don’t keep working you’ll also begivingupbenefits, includingare-tirement plan. And what about when you want to return to work but can’t get back at the same salary level as when you left? Money-saving tips for every stage of •your child’s life. From making a will and setting up a guardian in case something happens to you, to the real costs of moving to the suburbs to save money and the differences between a baby sitter and an au pair -- it’s all there.

This book is loaded with information for all parents, not just new ones.

Give Your Home or Office a Facelift

HomeorOffice–OnSiteSolutionscomesto YOU!While restoring and refinishing your oldfurniture, cabinets, counters, sinks, etc. on your own may save you money, sometimes it’s best to leave these types of projects to the professionals. Just because your have a can of stain with easy to follow directions does not mean you should attempt to refinish that beautiful dresser your GreatAunt Ida left you. Professionals not only have access to better products, but they have years of experience, skills, tools and the trained eye.Jonathan Edwards, Owner of On Site Solutions,youronsiterepairandrefinishingexpert, believes that there are some repair and refinishing jobs that thatanyonecando–heevenhaspostedtipsonhisweb-site–butthattherearesomeprojectsthatshould be left to a professional.“If you are going to restain or restore a piece of furniture that has great value, either monetary or sentimental value, it’s best to call a professional,” says Mr. Edwards. “Many do-it-yourselfers will unfortunately ‘try their hand’ at staining on an antique table, only to realize they do not have the

skills required.”Not only is the right technique essential toendingupwithanicewoodfinish,butso is having the right type of stain for the wood you are dealing with. Mr. Edwards notes that many non-professionals cannot correctly identify the type of wood they want to repair, refinishor restain.Mr.Edwardsstates that “Many do-it-yourselfers do not realize that when repairing wood, there is a quite a bit of manual labor involved such assandingandbuffing.”“Restoring furniture can be time consuming and challenging,” warns Mr. Edwards. “This is especially true on ornately carved pieces.” According to the National Institute of Wood Finishing, accurate restoration involves the understanding of organic chemistry and a mastery of wood-working andwood-finishingskills.Another type of restoration job you should leave to a professional from On Site Solutions is ANYTHING that you cannot afford to replace new if you botch the do-it-yourself job. Consequences of an uncorrectable mistake might cost you thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Though chocolate has been around in •one form or another for centuries, milk chocolate wasn’t invented until 1876.

They are all vegetarians.You probably have never heard of the •World Beard and Moustache Champi-onships, but the event really does exist, taking place every two years. Americans dominated the recent 2009 event, in Alaska; the next will take place in Nor-way.

A blonde gets an opportunity tofly toanearby country. She has never been on an airplane anywhere and is very excit-ed and tense. As soon as she boards the plane, a Boeing747, she starts jumping in excitement, running over seat to seat and shouting:“BOEING! BOEING!! BOEING!!! BO...” Even the pilot in the cock-pit hears the noise. Annoyed by the goings on, the pilot comes out and shouts, “BE SILENT!” There is pin-drop silence everywhere and everybody is looking at the blonde and the angry pilot. She stares at the pilot in silence for a moment, concentrates really hard, and all of a sudden starts shouting:“OEING! OE-ING! OEING! OE...”A man was caught for speeding and went before the judge.

Jesus and Moses were playing golf one day. Thiscoursehadaparticularlydifficulthole,and Moses expressed his doubts that Jesus could make the shot over the water. “Watch this, Moses, I think I can do it,” exclaimed Jesus. “I’ve seen Arnold Palmer make this shot, and if Arnold Palmer can do it, then so can I.” Moses rolled his eyes and let Jesus try. Sure enough, the ball splashed into the water. Moses parted the water for Jesus, who went in to retrieve his ball.Jesus, how-ever, was not ready to give up. “I know I can do this, Moses -- I’ve seen Arnold Palmer do it, and if he can do it, then so can I.” True to form, Jesus’ ball ended up back in the water. Moses parted the water, and Jesus went in to retrieve the ball. “Look, Jesus,” said Moses. “Try again if you like, but I’m not parting the water for you again.” “Fair enough, Moses,” said Jesus, “but I’ve seen Arnold Palmer make this shot, and if Arnie can do it, then so can I.” Once again, Jesus’ ball was in the water. Jesus proceeded to

walk upon the water to get it. Another group of golfers came up behind Moses and saw Jesus walking on the water. “Holy Cow!” one of them said to Moses. “Who does that guy think he is, Jesus?” “No,” said Moses, rolling his eyes. “He thinks he’s Arnold Palmer.”A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was phys-ically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small. The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Irritated, the teacher reiter-ated that a whale could not swallow a hu-man; it was physically impossible.The little girl said, “When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah.”The teacher asked, “What if Jonah went to hell?”The little girl replied, “Then you ask him.”Dearest Redneck Son... I’m writing this slow because I know you can’t read fast. We don’t live where we did when you left home. Your Dad read in the newspaper that most accidents happen within 20 miles of your home, so we moved. I won’t be able to send you the address because the last fam-ily that lived here took the house numbers when they moved so they wouldn’t have to change their address. This place even has a washing machine. I’m not sure it works so well though. Last week I put a load of clothes in and pulled the chain. We haven’t seen them since. I hope they come back soon. Like I told your dad, we shouldn’t have to wear the same clothes more than a week. About that coat you wanted me to send; your Uncle Billy Bob said it would be too heavy to send in the mail with the buttons on, so we cut them off and put them in the pockets.Your sister had a baby this morn-ing, but I haven’t found out what it is yet, so I don’t know if you are an aunt or uncle. Three of your friends went off a bridge in a pickup truck. Butch was driving. He rolled down the window and swam to safety. The other two were in the back. They drowned because they couldn’t get the tailgate down. There isn’t much more news at this time. Nothing much out of the normal has hap-pened. Your Favorite Aunt
