TIDBITS® GOBBLES UP SOME
by Kathy Wolfe This week, Tidbits studies up on some unusual names for some pretty common foods. You might find this info helpful the next time you’re dining out! • Folks down South are familiar with hush puppies, which are spoonsful of cornbread batter cooked in hot fat. Legend has it that they were used by hunters and fishermen who would toss the little morsels to their dogs to keep them quiet. Others say that Confederate soldiers in the Civil War fed them to their dogs on the battlefield to “hush the puppies.” • Other Southern dishes include burgoo (a thick stew of several types of meat and veggies), chitterlings (the deep-fried small intestine of pigs), and Hoppin’ John (a stew of black-eyed peas, salt pork, and seasonings). Hoppin’ John’s relative is Limpin’ Susan, which substitutes okra for the peas. If you order dirty rice down South, your rice will be mixed with ground chicken livers and bacon drippings, onions, and green peppers. • If you order fruits de mer while dining out, don’t expect to get a platter of fruit. It’s actually a dish of raw and cooked shellfish, including oysters, shrimp, lobster, crab, mussels, clams, and scallops. It’s served cold on a bed of rice. turn the page for more!

• Julius Caesar had nothing to do with the Caesar salad. It was first created by an Italian restaurant owner named Caesar Cardini in 1924 at his Tijuana, Mexico, restaurant. His version of romaine lettuce, garlic, oil, Parmesan cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and a coddled egg became popular with Hollywood celebrities when he opened a restaurant there, one that still operates today, over 60 years after his death. • Don’t confuse sauerbraten with sauerkraut. The former is a low-cooked beef stew, while the latter is spicy, fermented shredded cabbage. And don’t think that head cheese is any kind of cheese at all. It’s a gelatinous cold cut made from chopped-up bits of the head of a pig or cow, set in aspic. This unusual meat jelly often includes the tongue and sometimes the feet and heart of the animal. • Several desserts have unusual names including Brown Betty, which is a fruit dessert with a breadcrumb topping, served with whipped cream. The first printed recipe for Brown Betty appeared in 1864. Although Baked Alaska is named for our 49th state, it actually originated in France. It’s made from ice cream and sponge cake, topped with meringue. The dessert is then placed in a very hot oven just long enough to firm up the meringue, which acts as an insulator and keeps the ice cream from melting. In 1876, the head chef at New York City’s Delmonico’s Restaurant named the dessert Baked Alaska in honor of the recently-acquired Alaskan territory. • Thankfully, grasshopper pie doesn’t contain any jumping insects, but rather is a fluffy dessert containing crème de menthe and white crème de cacao liqueurs in a cookie-crumb crust. turn the page for more!

* On Sept. 2, 1666, the Great Fire of London breaks out in the house of King Charles II’s baker. When the fire was finally extinguished four days later, more than four-fifths of London was destroyed. * On Sept. 4, 1886, Geronimo, the wiliest and most dangerous Apache warrior of his time, finally surrenders in Arizona. A brilliant strategist, Geronimo never learned to use a gun, yet he armed his men with the best modern rifles he could obtain. * On Aug. 31, 1955, William G. Cobb of the General Motors Corp. demonstrates his 15-inch-long “Sunmobile,” the world’s first solar-powered automobile. When sunlight hit 12 photoelectric cells made of selenium, an electric current was produced that powered a tiny motor. * On Sept. 5, 1969, Lt. William Calley is charged with six specifications of premeditated murder in the death of 109 Vietnamese civilians at My Lai in March 1968. Reportedly, the massacre was stopped only when a pilot landed his helicopter between Calley’s troops and the fleeing South Vietnamese. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver
* If you see a group of flamingoes together in one place, it will be handy to know that the appropriate collective noun is a “flamboyance.” * As the new school year kicks off in the United States, it might be interesting to renew a familiarity with a now-disused word: a “belter-werrits” is an annoying child. * Many people know American counterculture figure Ken Kesey as the author of the 1962 novel “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” which presents a disturbing portrait of life in a mental institution. It’s less well known, though, that Kesey got an inside view of the system when he worked as a janitor in a mental hospital before he became famous. * If you’re planning a sporting visit to Pennsylvania, be sure to note that dynamite-assisted fishing is illegal in that state. * You might be surprised to learn that feta cheese has been around for 6,000 years. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
• An unusual name for something so simple! Potlikker is the liquid left over after cooking green leafy vegetables, such as collard greens or turnip greens. Usually the greens are cooked with ham hocks or bacon fat. • How about a little scrapple? Introduced by the Germans in Pennsylvania in the late 17th century, it’s a mixture of pork scraps, corn meal, flour, and spices that is shaped into a loaf, sliced, and fried. Fans of this unusual food serve it for breakfast topped with ketchup or maple syrup. • What about all the sauces we order on our dinners? When you order your steak smothered with béarnaise sauce, it will come with a creamy sauce of egg yolks, butter, shallots, vinegar, wine, and tarragon. Eggs Benedict comes covered with Hollandaise sauce, an emulsion of eggs yolks, butter, and lemon juice. Your fish dinner might be served with remoulade sauce, similar to tartar sauce, a mayonnaise mixed with pickles, horseradish, anchovies, and capers, flavored with curry. • While in New York City, you might want to try an egg cream, which ironically, contains neither eggs nor cream. It’s a fountain drink made from milk, seltzer, and chocolate syrup, a concoction dreamed up by Brooklyn candy store owner Louis Auster in the late 1800s.

• Ordering bangers and mash while in Great Britain will get you a dish of pork sausage and mashed potatoes, while bubble and squeak will be a mixture of mashed potatoes, and boiled cabbage, fried until brown. Yorkshire pudding might sound like dessert, but it’s really a batter of eggs, flour, and milk baked in meat drippings until puffy. If you order “toad in the hole,” your Yorkshire pudding will contain bits of sausage.

Q: What do you do if your dog eats your pen? A: Use a pencil instead!
Love, the Greatest Gift
Have you ever loved so much that you felt your heart turn inside out? Have you ever cried so much that your tears stole your every breath? Have you ever been in so much pain that you became immobilized in a fetal positon and you needed a crowbar to separate your limbs? One of the hardest things in life is to have a broken spirit where you lose the momentum to live, let alone love. Mother Teresa captured something in a quote that took me a long time to understand. “I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.” As I have baked in this thought I have come to realize that our love can be refined in our darkest minute, hour, day, month, or year. Love is the only thing to build fiber and tissue around dry broken bones. Love is the only thing to allow the flow of blood into a lifeless body. Love is the only thing to bring back a desire to live again. Our Lord learned to love through the pain of hurt. The true hurt was being separated from His dad, “My God, My God, why has thou forsaken me”? In the separation of those we love we can learn this paradox, “only more love”. My dad died in my arms and it was the darkest hour of my life. I now know the greatest gift my dad gave me was his last breath. Love through the pain!!

Beware of Winter Before It Comes
---
It’s probably still hot where you live, but this is a perfect time to get ready for winter. The colder it gets where you live, the more important it is to be ready for it. Look on websites or in stores for personal-size quilts or fleecy throws on sale. Buy a few, if you can. These small blankets can be lifesavers when cold weather arrives. Use one as an additional layer on the bed, or wrap up in one when you watch TV at night. In the grocery aisles, keep an eye out for items to stock up on to save trips to the store in cold weather. Canned fruit, vegetables, soups and stews, packaged pasta, jar spaghetti sauce and more are handy to keep on the shelf. Put flashlight batteries on your list. Add unscented kitty litter for icy walks. If you drink bottled water or need distilled water for indoor humidifiers, bring home a few each time you shop. If you have a vehicle, make an appointment to get the battery checked, as well as your tires, antifreeze level and windshield wipers. Try on last year’s coat and boots, plus gloves and hat. Will they see you through another winter? If not, keep an eye out for sales. If you’re in snow country, decide if this is the year that you won’t shovel anymore and make calls to arrange for someone else to be on call this winter. Middle- and high-school kids are great for this; if it really snows, they likely won’t be in school. By the time the temperatures drop to freezing or the first snow falls, you’ll be ready.

NOTEWORTHY INVENTORS:
CANADIAN INVENTORS
Lots of things we take for granted were invented by Canadians whose names have long been forgotten. Let’s pay tribute to these clever individuals who brought us some of life’s necessities. • We’ve been eating instant mashed potatoes since 1962, thanks to the invention of chemist Edward Asselbergs, a graduate of the University of Toronto. In 1960, Asselbergs was working for the Canadian Department of Agriculture and began developing a process of cooking, mashing, and dehydrating potatoes that would later be reconstituted by adding hot water or milk. That wasn’t Asselbergs’ only accomplishment – he was also responsible for the invention of an infrared apple peeler. • Folks living in snowy climates can thank Alfred Sicard for his invention of the snow blower. As a young person, Sicard would frequently watch his neighbor use a threshing machine to harvest wheat. In his later years, Sicard experimented with a similar idea, using blades to clear roads, and in 1925, he built his first working snow blower. Within two years, the community of Outremont, Quebec, was using his contraption to clear its roadways. Sicard’s company is still in existence, a division of SMI-Snowblast of Watertown, New York. • Two newspapermen brought us one of the greatest board games of all time. Photo editor Chris Haney and sports journalist Scott Abbott were playing Scrabble in 1979 when they decided to invent their own game. They came up with trivia questions in six categories – Geography, Entertainment, History, Art & Literature, Science & Nature, and Sports, and called their invention Trivial Pursuit. Their creation has blossomed into a television game show, online game, arcade game, and home computer version. • Lewis Urry graduated from the University of Toronto in 1950 with a degree in chemical engineering and went to work for Eveready shortly afterward. We have this creative engineer to thank for the invention of both the alkaline battery and the lithium battery, which he developed while working at Eveready. • We might not call our money “greenbacks” were it not for Thomas Sterry Hunt, a chemist and mineralogist who came up with the idea of using chromium as the base for a green ink to print bank notes. His formula was a substance that could not be removed by acid or alkali without destroying the paper. Although he patented his invention, he did not receive much monetary reward from it. • Toronto-born Alfred Gross invented several communications devices, including the first modern walkie-talkie. While aboard a cruise boat on Lake Erie in 1927 at age nine, Gross met the radio operator and was allowed to listen to the boat’s transmissions. A life-long fascination with wireless telegraphy was the result, leading to his creation of the walkietalkie during World War II. In the following years, he patented a Citizens’ Band radio telephone pager, and cordless telephone. Unfortunately, before he could market them successfully, his patents expired, and he failed to make money from his inventions. • Another war-time invention came from Newfoundland native Cluny MacPherson. As a medical doctor and principal medical officer for the First Newfoundland Regiment of the St. John’s Ambulance Brigade during World War I, MacPherson devised a method of protection against poisonous gas, the world’s first effective gas mask. He fashioned it from a German helmet seized from a captured prisoner, adding a canvas hood with transparent eyepieces. He treated it with chlorine-absorbing chemicals to counter the chlorine found in the gas.

PLUTO DEMOTED DAY
August 24 has been observed as Pluto Demoted Day since 2006. Why did this happen? Follow along and learn about the discovery of what was once considered a planet in our solar system. • From 1930 until 2006, Pluto was classified as the ninth planet in our solar system, joining Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. A 23-year-old astronomer from Kansas, Clyde Tombaugh, was a researcher at Flagstaff, Arizona’s Lowell Observatory in 1930, when he discovered the celestial body that would be named Pluto. An elevenyear-old schoolgirl from Oxford, England, proposed the name of Pluto, after the Greek god of the underworld, with her suggestion beating out scores of other submissions. • Pluto consists of one-third water and twothirds rock. It’s only about 1,600 miles in diameter, smaller than the Earth’s moon, only 66% of the moon’s diameter and one-sixth of its mass. Pluto’s surface temperature is -380 degrees F.

• Pluto is part of the Kuiper Belt, a region of the solar system beyond the planets, similar to an asteroid belt. After the discovery of Pluto in 1930, astronomers began to speculate about the existence of more such bodies in the region. In 1992, the second object in the area was found. More than 1,000 more objects have been discovered so far, and an estimated 100,000 more are believed to exist.

• In order to be classified as a planet, a celestial body must meet three conditions: It “must be in orbit around a star, while not being itself a star, be massive enough for its own gravity to pull it into a nearly spherical shape, and must have cleared the neighborhood around its orbit.”
Saving a Life from a potential catastrophe EVERY 10 MINUTES
• “Clearing the neighborhood” refers to a planet’s ability to remove smaller bodies near its orbit by “collision, capture, or gravitational disturbance.” It is this condition that qualified Pluto, because it has other objects in its orbit, as well as moving into the orbit of Neptune during its 246-year revolution around the Sun.
but I’m never alone. I have Life Alert.®
• Now and then, Pluto’s orbit actually takes it closer to the Sun than Neptune’s, although Pluto is farther away from the Sun. • In August of 2006, members of the International Astronomical Union gathered together in Prague to determine the status of Pluto. It was voted to demote Pluto to a dwarf planet, joining four others recognized by the IAU – Ceres, Haumea, Makemake, and Eris. Pluto is the second most massive of its kind, behind Eris, the largest. At one time, Ceres had been classified as the eighth planet when first discovered in 1801 between Mars and Jupiter. It remained in that category for about 50 years, until astronomers began to discover more and more similar bodies in the same area, and reclassified Ceres as an asteroid. • When Eris was discovered in 2005, initial reports called it the tenth planet, setting up a debate in the IAU as to what constitutes a planet. One proposal suggested including Charon, Eris, and Ceres in the official list of planets. The term dwarf planet was suggested, although many astronomers refer to these bodies as planetoids. On August 24, 2006, Pluto was officially demoted when it failed to reach the criteria agreed upon for classification as a planet.

STEAMBOATS (continued):

• In 1802, at the urging Robert Livingston, U.S. Hawkeye Publishing, L.L.C. www.tidbitpapers.com For Advertising E-mail: sales@tidbitpapers.com orofCall (319) 981-3335 minister to France, Fulton turned his attention to steamboats.

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.

John and his wife were starving!! They were stuck in a small hick town, lost and hungry. They were so happy when they saw a small restaurant coming up on his right. John and his wife quickly pulled over, parked the car, and walked inside. John noticed a blackboard with a sign written in yellow chalk, “Today’s Special: Vegetable Soup with Fried Chicken and Grilled Vegetables.” “I’ll take the special”, said John to the waitress when she came to take their order. A few minutes after receiving his order John called over the waitress, he was fuming mad. “IS THIS THE SPECIAL!? It says vegetable soup, BUT THERE ARE NO VEGETABLES! It says grilled vegetables, BUT THEY AREN’T GRILLED THEY ARE BAKED!? And it says fried chicken, AND THE CHICKEN ISN’T FRIED!? The waitress was not used to city folks and their attitudes and frankly she was not going to put up with this behavior. “My dear man,” said the waitress looking down at John over her glasses, “that is what makes it so special!!!” Q: What's a dog's ideal job? A: Barkeology
• 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.
