Random Facts Friday: April 20, 2012

We had friends over last night for dinner. Just a relaxing way to end the busy week.
Good conversation, good food. If you ever have one of "those" pauses and don't know what to say,
don't forget our random facts. They could come in handy!

1.Omega 3 fish oil, taken daily, can help decrease anxiety by as much as 20%.

2. Singing can help reduce your blood pressure. Just sing your favorites in the shower!

3. The first stained glass window depends upon the definition. If you are thinking of individual pieces, then the first one could be traced back to 306 B.C. as a form of glass mosaic. If you are thinking of painting on glass, then the beginnings would be closer to the late 11th century.

4. Everyone can hula hoop: for exercise, fun, and family activity. Want to set some records? You may want to look at the ones on-line: http://www.recordholders.org/en/list/hulahoop.html

5. Recipe. Whole Wheat pasta gives you double the amount of fiber of regular pasta. I love making pasta salads in warm weather. I will cut up fresh mozzarella, pepperoni, cherry tomatoes, green onions, green peppers, add these to the cooked pasta like Rigatoni, and toss with a vinaigrette, catalina, or Italian dressing. I let it sit for several hours in the refrigerator and with several sides, makes a great dinner!
