These are some facts I found out about this week.
See how many you already know!
1. Car Talk: Too many keys on a keychain hurts the ignition. True. The weight of the keys can make a difference. Turning off the air conditioning first before turning off the car is best for the a.c. unit. False. It doesn't matter.
2. DNA has been found in meteorites. See: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/44068626/ns/technology_and_science-space/t/building-blocks-dna-found-meteorites-space/
3. Ohio has 3,433 pizza restaurants. New York has the most with 4,961. Nationwide, independent stores have 58% of the market. Ohio's style: thin crust, a sweeter sauce, and pepperoni that is thinner and spicier than elsewhere.
4. The only place Dragonflies have not been recorded is the Antarctica. They can travel 30-35 miles/hour. There are about 5000 species worldwide.
5. Recipe: Who wants their kitchen hot during the summer? This is from Cooks.com:
| CROCKPOT MEATLOAF | |
1/2 cup whole milk 2 slices white bread 1 1/2 lb ground beef 2 eggs 1 small onion, peeled 1 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper 1 tsp dry mustard 1 can (12 oz.) whole tomatoes Place the milk and the bread in a large mixing bowl, and let stand until the bread has absorbed all the milk.With two forks, break the bread into crumbs. Beat the ground beef into the crumbs until well mixed. Make a hollow in the center of the meat and break the eggs into it. Beat the eggs slightly; then grate the onions into the eggs. Add salt, pepper and mustard. Mix the eggs into the beef. Shape into a round cake and place in the slow cooker. Drain the tomatoes, and place them on the meat. Cover and cook on low for 5 to 7 hours. Before serving, uncover the pot; turn the heat to high, and reduce the sauce. It should be thick, not thin. | |
