TIDBITS® SPREADS A LITTLE by Kathy Wolfe August 1 is National Mustard Day, and no better time for Tidbits to examine the particulars on this favorite condiment. • The word “mustard” actually means two things – it refers to the actual spice itself as well as to the concoction made from the tiny seeds of the plant. The seeds measure between 1 and 2 mm, about 1/8 inch in diameter. There are three different kinds of mustard plants – black mustard, brown Indian mustard, and white or yellow mustard. The seeds are ground, cracked, or left whole, then mixed with salt, water, lemon juice, or vinegar, along with some flavorings and spices that give the paste a sweet or spicy taste. It doesn’t become an aromatic substance until the seeds are cracked and mixed with liquid. This activates the oils in the mustard seed that gives it its taste and smell. • It’s believed that the ancient Romans were the first to concoct prepared mustard. Their blend consisted of ground seed mixed with unfermented grape juice and spices. The juice was known as “must,” and when mixed with the seeds, it became “burning must,” or mustum ardens, which was shortened to mustard. They added caraway, coriander, dill, celery, thyme, oregano, honey, vinegar, and oil. turn the page for more!

* On Aug. 6, 1964, the United States Congress overwhelmingly approves the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, giving President Lyndon B. Johnson nearly unlimited powers to oppose 'communist aggression' in Southeast Asia. The resolution marked the beginning of an expanded military role for the United States in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. * On Aug. 8, 1988, the Chicago Cubs host the first night game in the history of Wrigley Field. The first-ever night game in professional baseball took place nearly 60 years earlier in Des Moines, Iowa. * On Aug. 5, 2002, the rusty iron gun turret of the ironclad warship U.S.S. Monitor was raised from the floor of the Atlantic, where it had rested since it went down in a storm off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, during the Civil War. She sank in December 1862, while being towed from Cape Hatteras.

• The ancient Egyptians considered mustard seeds a symbol of good fortune. Seeds were placed in King Tut’s tomb for his next life. • To the Greeks, mustard was considered a medicinal item long before its use with food. The writings of Hippocrates recommended mustard paste as a remedy for muscle aches, toothaches, to help clear sinuses, and increase blood circulation. French monks also used it to treat wounds. • The Bible’s New Testament books of Matthew, Mark, and Luke all feature the Parable of the Mustard Seed, used by Jesus as a symbol of the Kingdom of God starting from a tiny beginning and growing quickly into something very large. Jesus was referencing the fact that the mustard seed is the smallest seed that his listeners planted in the ground, one which grew to 20 feet in just a few years. He also used the seed in relation to a person’s faith, saying, “…if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move." • Every bit of the mustard plant is edible, from the leaves (known as mustard greens) to the stems to the seeds. Just one acre of mustard produces one ton of seed, which in turn produces 1,940 lbs. of mustard flour, which is turned into 10,490 lbs. of wet mustard, which can produce 47,600 jars of mustard. There are about 100,000 seeds in one pound of yellow mustard seeds. • Canada grows more mustard than any other country in the world. The tiny country of Nepal is second, and other growers include Hungary, Great Britain, and India. look to next page for more!

• Of the more than 700 million pounds of mustard eaten around the world every year, Americans are the greatest consumers. In Yankee Stadium alone, in one season of baseball, more than 1,600 gallons are consumed, and that’s not even counting the 2,000,000 little individual packets! • The most familiar type of mustard is yellow, a mixture of yellow mustard seed (the mildest of all types), vinegar, water, turmeric, salt, cloves, and coriander. It’s the turmeric that gives the mustard its bright yellow color. Spicy brown mustard uses much the same ingredients, but the brown seed gives the paste a much more pungent flavor. Hot mustard uses brown or Indian seeds, and adds allspice, tarragon, and other seasonings. • Dijon mustard originated in Dijon, France, and blends brown mustard seed, vinegar, water, salt, and tarragon. The addition of white wine to the mix is what gives this smooth-textured mustard its distinctive taste. In 1855, Maurice Grey was producing an award-winning Dijon mustard and had invented a machine that increased the speed of production. However, he lacked the finances to make it successful. Another Dijon mustard maker Auguste Poupon provided the funds, and the pair manufactured the first Grey Poupon mustard in Dijon in 1866. • Grey Poupon gained great popularity in the 1980s when a TV commercial informed the public that “one can enjoy the finer things of life with white wine mustard” without paying high prices. The ad featured a Rolls Royce pulling up next to another Rolls Royce, and one passenger asking the other, “Pardon me, would you happen to have any Grey Poupon?” to which the other replied, “But, of course!” turn the page for more!

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver

* Edgar Rice Burroughs, the author of “Tarzan of the Apes” and its 25 sequels, never actually visited Africa. * If you’re of a certain age and facing up to wrinkles, you might be interested to learn that, according to the American Academy of Dermatology, one of the top causes of skin wrinkles is your habitual sleeping position. Rounding out the top five contributing factors are sun exposure, gravity, smoking and facial expressions. * Reportedly, anyone caught in the jaws of a crocodile can release him- or herself instantly by pressing on the animal’s eyeballs (though I cannot personally attest to the veracity of this claim). * In a recent survey of nearly 1,500 American adults, only 36 percent of respondents could correctly name all three branches of the United States government. Even more disturbing, a full 35 percent couldn’t name even one branch. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

• Beer mustard is a popular item in America’s Midwest, a blend that substitutes beer for the vinegar. • Brothers George and Francis French debuted their “Cream Salad Brand” mustard at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair with resounding success. Twenty million people, about 25% of the U.S. population at that time, sampled the new condiment over the course of the exhibition. Afterward, it could be purchased for 10 cents per 9-oz. jar, which came with a little wooden paddle for serving. French’s began using the trademark red French’s pennant in their advertising in 1921. Within a few years, annual sales skyrocketed to $5.3 million. Although the brothers sold their business in 1926, the name has carried on into the 21st century. • Mustard also has its place in folklore. German legend advises a bride to sew mustard seeds into the hem of her wedding dress, which will guarantee her dominance of the household. In Denmark and India, there is a custom of spreading mustard seeds around the outside of a home, which is said to keep out evil spirits. • When in Middleton, Wisconsin, a stop by the National Mustard Museum is in order. Home to the world’s largest collection of mustard and mustard memorabilia, the museum was established in 1992, when founder and curator Barry Levenson left his job as the Assistant Attorney General for the State of Wisconsin to open this unusual attraction. Visitors can view more than 5,400 mustards from all 50 states and 70 countries, as well as attend the National Mustard Day festivities hosted by the museum every August.

Are you looking for a new place to go? Do you like to go to locally owned restaurants? Are you looking for variety? Then The 16th Ave Grill is for you! We have a large menu with just about anything you could ask for.

Hand cut steaks, seafood, charbroiled burgers, and homemade desserts! Many of our desserts are homemade, made from scratch, from old family recipes. We have no less than 15 desserts to choose from at any given time. We always have pie, Caramel Crunch Cake, Chocolate Layer Cake, ice cream sundaes, Banana Split Cake, Milkshakes and malts, Dessert Nachos, Root beer f loats, and the classic Hot Fudge Cake. The bread pudding is to die for. Its warm and moist with gooey frosting and a drizzle of caramel. Every week Joyce makes a special dessert. It varies from day to day. It could be cupcakes or crème brulee. It’s always something different. And featured on our Gluten Free Menu is a homemade Gluten Free Chocolate Cake. Stop in any time you have a sweet tooth. We would love to sweeten you up!

Strengthening Your Core (Pt 2)

“From the inside Out” The power of knowing your core values and using them as a root for your life journey is the power of controlling what you say, what you think, and what you do internally verses being controlled by events and circumstances that happen beyond our control. Picture a bullseye with 4 rings around it. The center is our core values. The next ring is our attitudes, then comes our behaviors, and finally the results of our behaviors. So travel from the inside and move out: core values help establish our attitudes and behaviors are a result of our attitudes. The results in our life are rooted in our core values. In opposition, we see behaviors that are controlled by an event or circumstance that has happened to us, which effects our attitudes and washes away our core. Let’s look at a significant life loss. This unfortunate event can result in self-destructive behaviors. These behaviors can lead to bad attitudes toward life, which can put a wet blanket on any core values that are hidden. If one can anchor in core values when this life loss storm hits, a core attitude can result in behaviors that are much healthier and be able to move forward. Here are a few examples of one’s core values: faith, spouse, kids, friends, health, pets, peace, integrity, quiet time, vacations, etc… Identify your top ten core values and move through the storms of life “from the inside out.”

Utility Scams

--When a pair of young girls came to my door, both wearing plastic badges on chains around their necks, I knew they would try to sell me something. When I opened the door, one of them launched into a prepared speech. She specifically stated that they represented our local electric company and that they were doing energy audits to be sure we’re all getting the lowest rate. She said she’d need to see my latest electric bill. I said “no thanks” and shut the door. I’ve seen this before ... third-party power companies trying to sign people up. Within minutes I’d checked them out online and learned that the company is all over the country, with different scams for each state. To be sure, I called the power company and they verified: Scammers had hit the area. Things to know: • If people show up at your door offering to lower your utility rates, ask for a brochure and number you can call. No brochure, no business. • If they ask to see your latest utility bill, what you’re giving them is your name and account number. Before you know it, you’ll be signed up under their company, likely at a much higher rate, with a hefty (over $100) cancellation fee. • If you made a mistake and have signed up, call your utility immediately so they can lock your account and not let anyone switch you to another provider. • If you signed up, your state might have a rescission provision where you can cancel within a few days without penalty. Call your state’s consumer line or attorney general office and ask for advice. • Best bet: If you don’t know who’s outside, don’t open the door. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

NOTEWORTHY INVENTORS:

ALAN SHUGART

You may not recognize the name of Alan Shugart, but you most likely reap the benefits of his invention every single day. Let’s take a look at the inventor of the floppy disk, something that revolutionized the storage of computer data. • With a brand-new degree in engineering physics from the University of Redlands, Alan Shugart started work at IBM in San Jose, California, the day after he graduated in 1951 at age 21. His first position was a field service engineer repairing punch card accounting machines. • Shugart rose quickly through the ranks at IBM and was transferred to their research laboratory. In 1955, he and his team were responsible for developing the first disk drive, named the IBM RAMAC, able to store five million characters of data. It was released commercially in 1959.

• In 1969, Shugart developed the floppy disk, an 8-inch flexible plastic disk coated with magnetic iron oxide. The first “memory disk,” as it was called, held 100 KBs of data and provided a method of transferring data from computer to computer. • Shugart left IBM for Memorex in 1969, taking several IBM engineers along with him. He stayed with that company until 1972, when he launched his own business, Shugart Associates, that would perfect a lower-cost, mass-produced floppy disk, Two years later, after a dispute with the company’s board, he resigned. • In 1976, Shugart developed the smaller 5.25” disk drive and diskette, able to store up to 1.2 MB of data. He and a partner, a former co-worker from Memorex, started up Seagate Technology in 1979, with the goal of producing hard disk drives for the rapidly-growing personal computer market. • Seagate Technology grew to be the world’s largest producer of disk drives. • Shugart expanded his horizons in 1987 by opening Fandango, a popular fivestar restaurant on California’s Monterey Peninsula. His partner was a Frenchborn chef whose family had operated a restaurant in Provence, France, since 1737. Shugart wrote a book about the process in Fandango: The Story of Two Guys Who Wanted to Own a Restaurant, published in 1993. • As a clever way of protesting against the country’s major political parties, in 1996, Shugart entered the name of his Bernese Mountain on the ballot as a candidate for Congress. He also founded a political action committee aimed at getting citizens more involved in the political process. Shugart recorded his experiences about the dog’s unsuccessful Congressional campaign in the book Ernest Goes to Washington (Well, Not Exactly). • In 1998, when Shugart was 68 years old, the board of directors of Seagate Technology forced their founder to resign, claiming he was becoming “slow.” • Four years after leaving Seagate, Shugart published his autobiography, Al: The Wit and Wisdom of Alan Shugart. He died in 2006 at the age of 76. • “It is important to remember when starting and growing a new company that cash is more important than your mother.” – Alan Shugart

No matter how you spell it, ketchup is one of the world’s favorite condiments. Most labels today are spelled either “ketchup” or “catsup,” but over the year, other manufacturers have used catsip, cotsup, katshoup, cackchop, kotpock, and cutchpuck, among others. • Ketchup had its beginnings in Asia, originally as a spicy fish sauce made of anchovies, mushrooms, walnuts, and kidney beans, and named ke-tsiap. British sailors brought the concoction home in the 1600s and it became known as catchup. The first English version of ketchup was published in a 1727 cookbook, calling for anchovies, shallots, white wine vinegar, white wine, mace, ginger, and cloves. Tomatoes weren’t added to the mix until the late 1700s. The entry in the 1913 Webster’s Dictionary defines “catchup” as a “table sauce made from mushrooms, tomatoes, and walnuts.” • The average person consumes about three bottles of ketchup every year. About 97% of American homes have a bottle of ketchup in their refrigerator. It takes 4 tablespoons of ketchup to equal the nutritional value of one medium tomato. • Most of the world’s ketchup is manufactured by Heinz, Hunts, and DelMonte. Heinz introduced its tomato ketchup in 1876. Today, Heinz sells more than 650 million bottles of ketchup and about 11 billion individual packets every year. They purchase about 2 million tons of tomatoes every year to produce their blend. However, ketchup wasn’t Heinz’ first product. The company had been selling bottled horseradish for seven years before introducing ketchup.

• Ever wonder how fast Heinz ketchup flows from the bottle? Its speed is about 0.028 mph, which translates to about 0.5 inch per second. That’s about the same speed as a typical garden snail. If you want your ketchup to come out faster, put a drinking straw down to the bottom of the bottle. This will allow airflow to the bottom and make the ketchup flow more easily.

Saving a Life from a potential catastrophe EVERY 10 MINUTES

• In 1975, Heinz featured the Carly Simon hit “Anticipation” in their television advertising, boasting about “the taste that’s worth the wait.” In 1983, Heinz made it easier by introducing the plastic squeezable bottle. It wasn’t until 2002 that the packaging featured the upside-down plastic bottle. • Know why ketchup tastes so good? It’s 25% sugar! It’s also high in salt, with just one teaspoon containing about 10% of the maximum daily required amount of sodium. The good news is that ketchup is a good source of the antioxidant lycopene, which has been shown to help prevent prostate and colon cancers. • Ketchup isn’t just for your hot dog. Due to its acidity from tomatoes and vinegar, it’s an inexpensive cleaner of copper and bronze. Coat tarnished pots and pans, lamps, or jewelry with ketchup, let it stand for 10 minutes, and rinse it off. Although ketchup can also shine up stainless steel sinks and silverware, it can ruin silverware if it’s left on for too long. Rinse it off after just 10 minutes. Ketchup can also restore blonde hair that has turned green from too much exposure to chlorine. • Although folks love ketchup on just about anything, surveys indicate that it ranks third in popularity among condiments, with mayonnaise and salsa edging it out.

STEAMBOATS (continued):

• In 1802, at the urging Robert Livingston, U.S. For Advertising E-mail: sales@tidbitpapers.com orofCall (319) 981-3335 minister to France, Fulton turned his attention to steamboats. After two steamboat trials in France, one a failure and one a success, Fulton returned to America in 1806 and proceeded to build his famed steamboat the Clermont that successfully plied the Hudson River in New York. The Clermont’s first significant trip was from New York to Albany, a distance of approximately 150 miles. The Clermont left New York on August 17, 1807, and completed the voyage in 30 hours, including an overnight stop.

O W R F R A D

• The first voyage by the Clermont was met by the public with suspicion. Many referred to the boat as “Fulton’s Folly” due to its unusually long length and the smoke and fire associated with the vessel’s newfangled steam engine. Many thought it would blow up or sink on its first voyage; they were wrong! In fact, because Fulton wisely paid attention to passenger comfort, the Clermont became a very profitable vessel for transporting passengers to destinations on the Hudson River. Fulton subsequently formed and led a company offering services on six major rivers and the Chesapeake Bay.

• Following Fulton’s success, steamboats became a prime transporter of passengers and goods across the country. For example, in the steamboat port of New Orleans, 20 steamboat arrivals in 1814 increased to a whopping 1,200 arrivals by 1834. • The steamboat era in the United States continued until the 1870s, when railroads started supplanting the steamboat as the preferred transporter of passengers and goods.

I made a really great sandwich today, cheese, ham, tomato, a crisp lettuce leaf, garnished with mustard and coleslaw, on fresh wheat bread. Anyway, I went to answer the knock on the front door and when I came back in it was gone. I was completely beside myself. I checked the fridge, the microwave, desperately trying to think where I could have put it. I even looked in the oven, though I knew I couldn't have put it there. I went back to the front door to see if I might have taken it up with me. Next I rushed to my housemates' rooms trying to find the potential thief, or at least to get some help in my search.

After half an hour of looking I came to a stunning realization... I could easily have made another sandwich in the time I had spent looking for it.
