Almost the middle of the 10th month of the year!
How did your week go?
Mine was pretty good - a healthy grandchild was added to the family.
Here are some random facts to end your work week.
See which ones you already know.
1. Pumpkins originated in Central America. And to satisfy any discussion---they are a fruit.
2. The word "bark" as in the bark of a tree can be traced back to several European languages. It was spelled the same way and meant the same thing in all of them.
3. The average size newborn is 7.5 pounds.
4. The lowest number of births happen on a Sunday and the largest number occur on Tuesdays. On a monthly basis, May has the highest and September/October have the lowest.
5. Recipe: Many of us make homemade chicken soup. I learned a Pennsylvania Dutch recipe some time ago for Chicken Corn Soup: the main ingredients are chicken, drained canned corn, carrots and noodles. Cook the chicken first as usual. Once cooked, remove, dice, and return to broth. Add the corn and fresh carrots which have been cut into bite size pieces and continue to boil. Add herbs and spices to individual taste. Once the carrots are tender, add medium size egg noodles. Cook until noodles are ready. Just before serving, garnish with diced boiled egg. So good on an autumn night!
