Hi all,
These are some facts I learned this week.
See which ones you already know!
1. Yogurt has lactic acid, an alpha hydroxy that can slough off dead skin cells and unclog pores, according to Prevention Magazine. Apply a thin layer of full fat yogurt on your face as a mask for 10 minutes, then rinse.
2. Ovarian cancer is much more deadly than breast cancer. Of those diagnosed, 2/3 with ovarian cancer die compared with 1/5 women with breast cancer. Though breast cancer has improved to this statistic(Yeah!), the ovarian one hasn't changed in 30 years. Get informed about ovarian as much as breast cancer. If ovarian cancer is caught at Stage I, there is a 94% chance of long term survival. September 2 is Teal Day, the official color of ovarian cancer awareness.
3. Interested in planting a tree that is a clone of our ancient trees like the redwoods? Try looking at this website: acienttreearchive.org. Some trees are like the black willow grow here in Ohio. They have a Great Lakes project going on right now to help our waterways.
4. When the Dutch arrived on the East Coast in the 1700's, they brought their recipes for "oliebollen" which translanted means "oil balls" or as we call them now "doughnuts". They got their ring shape later to solve their uncooked middle problem.
5. Darn Goods: We used to make these all the time as teenagers.
Start with 2 cups of Bisquick and stir in 2/3 cup of milk. You want a pretty sticky dough. Add dry or wet depending upon what you need. Heat shortening over low heat to give you oil several inches high. You don't want the dough to stick to the bottom of the pot, you want the dough to float and boil on all sides. You will see bubbles as the dough cooks. Let the dough cook until it gets nicely brown. Once cooked, roll in bowl filled with a mix of cinnamon sugar and drain on paper towels. You won't be able to eat just one!
