PIZZA

by Kathy Wolfe • October is National Pizza Month! If you’ve eaten pizza in the past month, you’re part of the 93% of Americans who have done that same thing. In fact, across the nation, about 350 slices are consumed every second, equivalent to about 100 acres of pizza each day. If you’re an average citizen, you’ll eat about 46 slices, equal to 23 lbs. (10.4 kg) every year. Pizza sales generate about $30 billion annually.

• It should be no surprise that pepperoni is the nation’s favorite topping, featured on about 36% of all pizzas ordered. That adds up to approximately 251,770,000 lbs. (114,200,951 kg) of this meat every year. Our least favorite topping is anchovies. About 61% of the population likes thin crust best and 14% prefer thick crust. The remainder like very thin crust the best. • There are more than 61,000 pizzerias in the United States. Over 9,000 of those are in New York. About 17% of the restaurants in America are pizzerias. • Pizza evolved in Italy hundreds of years ago as a way to use up leftovers. With no refrigeration or way to preserve perishables, women would roll out dough and put remnants of meals along with fresh produce on the dough to bake.

Tidbits® of Bismarck PIZZA (continued): • Tomato sauce base didn’t come about until the late 1600s. Until that time Europeans were suspicious of tomatoes, believing them to be poisonous. Once they overcame that fear, tomatoes became the base for pizzas. • Antica Pizzeria is the first known pizzeria, which opened in Naples, Italy in 1738. In 1830, the Port’Alba restaurant opened in Naples, baking their pies in an oven lined with lava from nearby volcano Mount Vesuvius. America’s first pizzeria was opened by Gennaro Lombardi in 1897 in New York City, and is still in operation just down the street from its original location. • To the Italians, there are two main types of pizza, the Marinara and the Margherita. Marinara pizza is topped with tomato, oregano, garlic, and olive oil, while the Margherita has a topping of tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and fresh basil.

1. LANGUAGE: What is the most commonly used letter in the alphabet? 2. GEOGRAPHY: In what body of water can the island of Santorini be found?

• Super Bowl Sunday is the highest pizza sales day of the year. Domino’s Pizza alone sells more than 110 million pizza slices on that day, about 80% more than a normal Sunday. Super Bowl Sunday is followed by New Year’s Eve, Halloween, Thanksgiving Eve, and New Year’s Day. But even with all the pizzas sold on those days, pizza still takes second place in the takeout department for the over-50 crowd, edged out by chicken.

3. ACRONYMS: To an engineer, what does the acronym CAD stand for?

• In 1958, two brothers from Kansas borrowed $600 from their mother to start up a pizza restaurant in a 600-square-foot building in Kansas. Frank and Dan Carney opened up the first Pizza Hut near Wichita State University, and just one year later, had their first franchise restaurant in neighboring Topeka. Within 10 years, there were 300 Pizza Huts across the nation. Today there are approximately 12,000 Huts in over 90 countries around the world. In America, this chain is the largest user of cheese, purchasing more than 3% of the country’s supply, an amount that requires 170,000 dairy cows to produce.

7. ACADEMIA: What does a vexillologist study?

• Pizza Hut’s first ad back in 1965 featured the slogan “Putt Putt to the Pizza Hut.” A man in a business suit driving his 1965 Mustang was the star of the ad. Over the years Donald and Ivana Trump, Ringo Starr, The Monkees, and even former USSR President Mikhail Gorbachev have appeared in Pizza Hut advertisements. See the next page for more!

PIZZA (continued): • Pizza Hut may be the largest pizza chain with the most restaurants, but it’s not the leader in delivery. That honor belongs to Domino’s, who has nearly 11,000 stores in more than 70 countries, delivering more than a million pizzas every day. Domino’s started out with one store in 1960, when Tom Monaghan and his brother James borrowed $900 to buy DomiNick’s, a pizzeria in Ypsilanti, Michigan. The following year, James traded his half of the company for a Volkswagen Beetle. In 1965, Tom renamed his store Domino’s Pizza. By 1978, there were 200 restaurants. In 1983, the company opened not only its 1,000th store, but its first international outlet as well, in Winnipeg, Canada.

• Less than half of Domino’s pizzerias are located in the U.S., about 5,000 out of 11,000. The U.K. is home to 774, India has 715, Mexico totals 592, and Canada has 380. • Now estimated as the third largest pizza company, Little Caesars Pizza got its start in Garden City, Michigan in 1959. After Detroit Tigers’ shortstop Mike Illitch was injured, he and his wife Marian went into the pizza business. Mike wanted to name the restaurant Pizza Treat, but Marian had a better idea. She thought of Mike as her “little Caesar,” and the name stuck. That original store is still in operation today. • Available pizza toppings in North America vary according to geographical area, and in some parts of the country, regional favorites are Cajun shrimp, oysters, crayfish, tuna, venison, duck, eggplant, and artichoke hearts. The majority of the population still favors meat toppings (62%), while the remaining 38% prefer vegetarian ingredients. International toppings include Japan’s favorite squid, eel, bacon, and potato pizza. In India, folks prefer pickled ginger, mutton, and tofu, while a fish pizza is the Russian’s choice, a combination of sardines, tuna, mackerel, herring, and salmon. In the Netherlands, if you order up a Double Dutch, you’ll receive double cheese, double onions, and double beef. • Canada has its own unique taste in pizza. The Poutine has toppings of cheese curds, French fries, gravy, and shaved beef. Also gaining popularity there is the hot dog stuffed crust pizza, which features an Angus beef hot dog cooked inside the stuffed crust. • Mozzarella cheese originated in Italy, produced from the milk of water buffalos. Traditional mozzarella comes from those buffalo in a very few countries, including Bulgaria and Italy. Because it is not aged like most cheeses, traditional mozzarella is eaten fresh within a few hours after it is produced. Most mozzarella is made from pasteurized cow’s milk due to the rarity of the water buffalos. • What about pizza’s caloric content? A pepperoni personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut is about 625 calories, while one slice of that company’s Supreme pan pizza is 440 calories.

FAMOUS CANADIANS:

JONI MITCHELL • Back in the 1960s and 1970s, she was one of the leading folk performers, racking up Grammy after Grammy. Let’s examine the facts on the talented Canadian native, Joni Mitchell. • We know her as Joni Mitchell, but she was born Roberta Joan Anderson. Her father, a Royal Canadian Air Force flight lieutenant, was stationed in Fort Macleod, Alberta, during World War II, instructing pilots, and it was here that Roberta was born in 1943. • As a child, Joni developed an interest in classical piano when several of her friends were taking music lessons, and she developed a love for Rachmaninoff, Chopin, Beethoven, and Debussy. She herself began piano lessons at age 6. But when she was 8, calamity struck in the form of polio. It was 1951, before Jonas Salk’s polio vaccine was in use, and an epidemic swept through the area. Joni was bedridden for weeks, and during her confinement, she became interested in singing, frequently practicing on her fellow patients.

• Physical weakness following her recovery forced Joni to leave behind any athletic interests she may have had, causing her to fully pursue the arts. Singing, poetry, and painting became her loves. As a teen, she began singing in small nightclubs in western Canada, as well as adding songwriting to her list of accomplishments. Her playing and songwriting took on a different sound due to a weakness in her left hand as a result of the polio. This made it impossible for her to play certain chords, so she created a different sound with alternative chords she could manage, chords that Mitchell herself calls “Joni’s weird chords.”

by Samantha Weaver • It was British Prime Minister Winston Churchill who made the following sage observation: “A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.” • Play-Doh was originally marketed as a wallpaper cleaner. It wasn’t until kids started using it as modeling material that the company saw its potential in the toy market. • Those who study such things say that when bears, squirrels and other mammals hibernate, the flow of oxygen to their brains can drop by as much as 98 percent. • You’ve surely heard of the long-distance buses known as Greyhounds, but you might not be aware of the company’s humble origins. In 1914, a car dealer named Carl Eric Wickman ran a car dealership in Minnesota. When business was slow, he used one of the unsold cars to offer rides between the towns of Alice and Hibbing to miners going to work. The idea was so profitable that Wickman opened long-distance routes within two years. He painted the vehicles gray in order to hide the road dust, prompting a hotel owner along one route to comment that the cars looked like greyhound dogs. Wickman liked the idea so much he started using the slogan “Ride the Greyhounds,” and the rest is business history. • In 1955, just a few weeks before he was killed in a car crash, actor James Dean made a commercial aimed at teenagers. The subject? Auto safety. In the ad he says, “Drive safely. The life you save may be mine.” • If you’re like the average American, you drink only one-sixth as much wine as the average French citizen.

JONI MITCHELL (continued):

• On Oct. 13, 1792, the cornerstone is laid for a presidential residence in the capital city of Washington. In 1800, President John Adams became the first president to reside in the executive mansion, which soon became known as the White House. • On Oct. 15, 1863, during the Civil War, the submarine C.S.S. Hunley sinks during a test run in Charleston Harbor, killing its inventor and seven crewmembers. The Hunley, propelled by a hand crank that drove the ship’s propeller, would later become the first combat submarine to sink an enemy warship. • On Oct. 16, 1916, Pvt. Henry Farr of the British Expeditionary Force is executed for cowardice after he refuses to go into the frontline trenches. Farr was one of 306 British soldiers who were executed for cowardice. They likely suffered from severe shellshock. • On Oct. 14, 1939, designer Ralph Lauren is born in New York. Lauren created the “Chaps” stonewashed jeans and faded work shirts designed to appear as if they were from the well-worn wardrobe of a hardworking Western rancher. • On Oct. 19, 1958, in Brussels, Belgium, the World’s Fair closes after visits by 42 million people. The U.S. and Soviet exhibition halls were directly across from one another. While the Soviet exhibit centered on the technological accomplishments, the U.S. focused on voting booths, fashions and home furnishings. Both lost to Czechoslovakia for best exhibit. • On Oct. 17, 1974, President Gerald Ford explains to Congress that he gave Richard Nixon a full pardon for all offenses against the United States in order to put the tragic and disruptive scandal behind all concerned. FordÕs decision was condemned and is thought to have contributed to his failure to win the 1976 presidential election. • On Oct. 18, 1988, “Roseanne,” a television sitcom about a blue-collar American family starring the comedian Roseanne Barr, premieres on ABC. Barr’s portrayal of the loud, abrasive, overweight Roseanne Conner was a sharp contrast to the stereotypical TV housewife in the mold of “Leave It to Beaver’s” June Cleaver. (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

• Joni played gigs in local coffeehouses in Calgary, saving up money to fund her real desire – art school. She enrolled in Calgary’s Alberta College of Art and Design to pursue painting, but dropped out after a year. It was in a Toronto folk club that she met a Michigan folk singer, Chuck Mitchell. Within a week, the pair were married, followed by an immediate move to the United States, where they began playing music together. • The marriage didn’t last but her music did, and in 1968, when she was 25, Joni Mitchell recorded her debut album, produced by David Crosby. It was followed closely by her second album “Clouds,” which featured her famous composition “Both Sides Now” and earned Mitchell her first Grammy. She wrote and recorded “Big Yellow Taxi” in 1970, with its well-known line, “They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.” One of the biggest hits for the group Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, “Woodstock,” was composed by Mitchell. •

She began her move from folk songs to jazz and blues in 1974 with the album “Court and Sparks,” which is now her most successful album. Rolling Stone magazine ranks it as #111 on their list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

• Joni Mitchell has received eight Grammy Awards, most recently in 2008. In 2002, she was awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, which described her as “one of the most important female recording artists of the rock era.” She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997, and into the Canadian songwriters Hall of Fame in 2007. • Today, Mitchell is retired with numerous health problems. She began smoking at age 9, and it has been her lifelong habit.

EDITOR’S NOTE: DVDs reviewed in this column will be available in stores the week of Oct. 13, 2014. PICKS OF THE WEEK X-Men: Days of Future Past (PG-13) -- In a gray and smoldering future, giant androids called Sentinels are on a mission to exterminate the world’s mutants, and they’re doing a pretty good job. The remaining X-Men band together for a last-ditch effort: send Wolverine back to the 1970s to stop the Sentinel program from taking off. To do this, he has to break 1970s Magneto out of his super-prison and repair the broken friendship between himself and 1970s Professor X. The action and special effects are as awesome as you’d expect from bahjillions of dollars and an experienced director in the chair. However, it’s the cast that really blows up the screen. Professor X is played by James McAvoy and becomes Patrick Stewart. Magneto is the dreamy Michael Fassbender in the 1970s, and evolves into Sir Ian McKellan when he grows up. Halle Berry, Jennifer Lawrence, Peter Dinklage and many more are left with too much talent and not enough screen time. Mr. Peabody & Sherman (PG) -- Not to be outdone by the X-Men, a different ensemble of time-traveling buddies made their bid for the box office this summer. Mr. Peabody (Ty Burrell of TV’s “Modern Family”) is a dog/genius who takes his adopted human son, Sherman (Max

Charles), on educational trips to historical turning points in their time machine. After a dispute with a girl in Sherman’s class, the duo wind up on a time-spree, encountering everyone from Agamemnon to Washington. This is one of the better adventures from Dreamworks lately, though it’s not a threat to the popularity of “How to Train Your Dragon.” The humor is rather snarky and punny -- both titular characters are known for their smarts -- but still accessible to the kiddos and always done with a trace of civility. Whitey: United States of America v. James J. Bulger (R) -- The most notorious criminal of his time was finally brought to court in 2012, raising questions about just who was helping Whitey Bulger get away with so much for so long. Some say he was in step with the FBI, but Bulger insists he’s every kind of criminal but a snitch. This documentary examines the trial of Bulger (who was a real-life inspiration from Jack Nicholson’s character in “The Departed”), but the details revealed in interviews only raise more questions. Beneath the Harvest Sky (R) -- Two teenagers in a weedy rural town in the top corner of Maine hatch a plan to get out of town while they come of age. Casper (Emory Cohen) gets roped into helping his father’s little operation smuggling drugs across the Canadian border, thus jeopardizing his friends and his future. Really, the plot isn’t the appeal here. The way the directors handle the pacing and visual storytelling creates an almost palpable atmosphere.

LAUNDRY It’s time to air the dirty laundry about dirty laundry! Here’s the dirt on everybody’s not-sofavorite chore. • The word “laundry” has is origins in the Latin word Lavanda, which translates “things to be washed.” We also get our word “lavatory” from the same root, which meant “a place to do washing.” • The average family does 8 to 10 loads of laundry weekly, about 50 lbs. (22.7 kg) worth. Each load contains about 16 items, with an average time for completion from start to finish of one hour and 27 minutes. • Where do people do their laundry these days? Back in 1992, just 17% of homes had a separate laundry room. Today that figure is nearing 60%. The dark and dreary basement laundry room is also becoming a thing of the past, as over 60% of new laundry rooms are being built on upper floors. • The first hand-operated washing machine came along in the mid-1800s. It consisted of a revolving wooden drum turned by hand. It was later updated to include pegs and gears to push clothes through soapy water. The invention of the internal combustion engine and electric motor in the early 1900s revolutionized doing the laundry. In 1908, Chicago’s Hurley Company introduced a galvanized tub and wringer powered by an electric motor. Unfortunately, there was no on-off switch and there was a danger of the user’s hands getting caught in it. Washers became automatic in 1937 when the Bendix Corporation was issued the first patent that eliminated the dangerous wringer. By the 1940s, nearly 60% of American homes had an electric washing machine.

LAUNDRY (continued): • The first clothes dryer was invented in 1935 by a North Dakota man who didn’t like seeing his mother hanging her laundry outside during the cold winters. He constructed an oil-heated drum capable of running on gas or electricity. Unfortunately, due to financial difficulties, he had to sell his design to the Hamilton Manufacturing Company the next year, forfeiting the potential earnings of his invention. • Procter & Gamble created Tide detergent in the 1920s, but didn’t mass produce it until 1943. It was the first synthetic detergent, and used no soap ingredients. Lots of folks think that laundry detergent is soap, but it just isn’t so. Its main ingredients are chemicals derived from petroleum. Tide is sodium tripolyphosphate and alkyl sulfate. University studies show that detergents actual leave chemical residue on fabrics, up to a full scoop after 10 washings.

• Fabric softeners that prevent static cling and make fabrics softer were first developed in the early 1900s. The early blends consisted of water, soap, and olive, corn, or tallow oil. Those early softeners have been replaced by chemical compounds that coat the surface of the fabric and remain on it to make it feel smoother and softer. If fabric softener is always used on household items that are meant to absorb liquid, such as towels and cleaning clothes, the layer of buildup will eventually prevent those items from absorbing and they will in fact repel liquid. • Only 10-20% of Americans use a clothesline, while only about 4% of homes in Italy even own a dryer. Despite the financial savings and benefit to the environment provided by clotheslines, there are about 300,000 areas in America, including mobile home parks, gated communities, condominiums, and retirement communities that actually ban the use of clotheslines.
