Well, did April showers come your way? Are you ready to spend time after work planting?
Here are some random thoughts for the last full working week of April:
1. Radishes are the fastest growing vegetable, able to be harvested within 21 days of sowing seeds.
2. "Pampers" the disposable diaper was patented in 1965.
3. White is the most popular exterior paint color for cars, taking 23% of the market share.
4. The Giant Tortoise is the longest living vertebrate in the world. Most live over 100 years old. One who lived in captivity lived to 152 years old.
5. Recipe: My mother made "City Chicken" when I was growing up. She made her with veal, though some made theirs with pork. It was considered a cost saving meal because of the price of chicken. I just liked it because of the taste and thought it I was very grown up by the way it was served with a skewer. The skewer is supposed to help the meat resemble a chicken leg. There are many variations of the recipe. Here is one you may like:
City Chicken
1 pound veal, cut in 1 inch cubes
seasoned flour (salt, pepper and what you like)
1 c. milk
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Push meat through on wooden skewers.
Dip the skewers in the egg, then the flour to coat. Saute until
browned.
Put skewers in a baking pan, and add milk. Cover in foil,
and bake about 1 hour.
