Wow! the day before St. Patrick's Day.
My husband's band, Mad Maudlin (http://www.reverbnation.com/madmaudlin) will be playing at Brazenhead in Columbus tomorrow, so a busy weekend for us!
But for now, the work week is done and time to catch your breath. Let your mind just drift with these random facts:
1. American Girl Scouts began selling homemade cookies in 1917. They turned it over to commercial bakers in 1935 and now sell 200 million boxes annually.
2. There are 353 Division I colleges/universities in the U.S. Sixty-seven of them participate in the NCAA Basketball Tournament.
3. The game of basketball was invented by Dr. James Naismith in Massachusetts in 1891. It was introduced to the Olympics in 1936 at the Berlin Games.
4. An eagle can see a rabbit about 1 mile or 1760 yards away. A normal person would need to be about 550 yards away to see the animal.
5. Recipe: Porcupine Balls
Make your usual meatball recipe. Keep it mild, it should be more like your meatloaf, not like Italian meatballs. While still raw, roll them in white rice. Boil them in tomato soup. I usually have to use several cans in order to cover all the meatballs. And yes, I use milk with the soup. I have tried water, but it doesn't taste very good. You may try half water, half milk. Boil for 20-30 minutes, making sure the meatballs are well done.
