Random Facts Friday: April 13, 2012

Friday the 13th! Can we get any luckier?
Hope your work week has been a good one and now it is time to give your brain a break.
Try reading these random thoughts that I found out about:

1. There are 77 million Baby Boomers in America.

2. Mourning Doves mate for life. (I have a pair that are nesting already for the 2nd time this season!)

3. 11% of grandparents have a grandchild living with them. 16% provide daycare.

4. A $.50 allowance in 1963 would be equal to $3.67 today. Check out http://www.threejars.com/allowance_calculator.html for other allowance comparisons.

5. Recipe: We know those who are lactose intolerant, and I bet you do too. Also, this time of year I head to the frozen fruit section because the winter fruits are waning and the early summer ones are not yet here. I picked a vegan muffin recipe from Food.com that uses frozen blueberries. Looks easy too!

1/4 c.      soy margarine (could use regular)
1/2 c.      unsweetened applesauce
1/c tsp.   salt
1 c.         sugar
2 c.         flour
1 TBSP  baking powder
1 tsp.      vanilla
1/2 c.      soy milk
2 c.         frozen blueberries

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line muffin cups with paper liners.
Mix all ingredients together until moistened.
Divide batter evenly and fill cups 3/4 full.
Bake 35 minutes or until tops are firm.
Cool on wire wrack.
