15 Random Food Facts You Don't Need to Know But Will Enjoy Reading By:Tatum Kelly www.spoonuniversity.com

5. Vinegar

Some of your favorite foods come from the weirdest families, take on the weirdest forms, and have the strangest back stories, yet I bet you don't even know most of them. The truth is, you don't even need to know, but I bet you'll get a kick out of these random (some, not so interesting) yet funny, facts. Read up!

6. Bananas

1. Pringles

There was a lawsuit that took place trying to prove that Pringles are not really potato chips.

2. Cranberries

If you can get your hands on a really ripe cranberry, try bouncing it like a bouncy ball. Word on the street is they're supposed to bounce sky high.

3. Ketchup

This one may lead you to question humanity but here it is: ketchup was used as medicine in the 1830s. (NO, thank you.)

4. Peanut Butter

Arachibutyrophobia is the fear of getting peanut butter stuck to the top of your mouth. (Yes, this is a real fear.)

To be 100% honest, I'm not sure if I completely buy this one, but apparently vinegar has the power to melt pearls. So, ladies, keep your earrings out of vinegar's strong hands.

Consuming bananas can actually help fight depression, so eat up (because why not)!

7. Ice Cream

In the state of Kentucky, it is illegal to hold an ice cream cone in your back pocket. So all you Kentucky readers better drop that cone because you certainly can't save it for later.

8. Popcorn

In South Africa, it is more than common to roast up some good ol' termites and ants and call em' popcorn. Tourists in South Africa better watch out.

9. Fruit Snacks

Warning: If you love gushers and fruit roll-ups, skip to number 10. Unfortunately, fruit snacks typically contain a "special ingredient" known as wax, which is similar to what they use to polish up your car (ew).

10. Fruit Loops

I apologize in advance to eight-year-old you, but no matter what color Fruit Loops you eat, they all taste the same.

11. SPAM

This one really had me stumped because I never knew what the mysterious SPAM ever was. SPAM is short for 'Spiced Ham.'

12. Popsicle

The popsicle was 'invented' by an eleven-yearold. Yes, this one is meant to make you feel badly about yourself. I mean, c'mon, what were you doing at age eleven?

Lenhartsville, PA • 610-562-8520 More info on the The-Eck.com 8

13. Apples

Surprisingly enough, apples come from the the same family as roses do. A fruit + flower = cousins?

14. Chocolate

Chocolate was once used as a currency. Yup, this one makes sense. I mean, who doesn't love chocolate?

15. Hamburgers (McDonald's)

McDonald's sells 75 hamburgers every second of every day. Now that's a lotta' meat.

16. Jelly Beans

Women every day get shellac manicures, a shiny polish used to make sure it doesn't chip. Well... did you know that jelly beans are encoded in just that?

No wonder they're so shiny.

Table Manners and Dining Etiquette For Meals in a Social or Professional Setting

BY DEBBY MAYNE www.thespruce.com

Table manners are important in both professional and social situations, so it's a good idea to know some basics. There may be some slight variations, depending on your region and what is locally acceptable, so if you are at a dinner party, pay attention to the host or hostess and take cues from them.

Whether no one ever taught you dining etiquette or you've forgotten what you learned, here are some tips to show that you know how to behave at the table.

Using proper etiquette at the table will also help you socially and professionally in a restaurant or in someone's home.

Before the Dinner

If you are invited to have dinner with someone, it is always a good idea to respond, even if an RSVP is not requested. This helps with planning.

Don’t ask if you can bring extra guests if the invitation doesn’t make the offer. However, if your family is invited to someone’s home for dinner, it is okay to ask if your children are included. If they are, make sure your children know good manners before they go.

Gift

When you are dining at the home of a friend, it is a good idea to bring a host or hostess gift. Don’t expect your gift to be used during the meal.

Most dinner partieshave carefully planned menu items, and your gift may not go with the meal.

Getting Started

Some dinner parties are formal and have place cards where the host or hostess wants you to sit.

If not, ask if there are seating preferences. Wait until the host sits before you do. In some cultures,

JANUARY 18, 2018 || townandcountrygazette.com

a blessing will be said. Even if you don’t follow the beliefs of the prayer, show respect and be silent. If the host offers a toast, lift your glass. It is not necessary to “clink” someone else’s glass.

Napkin

As soon as you sit down, turn to your host or hostess and take a cue for when to begin. Once the host unfolds his or her napkin, you should remove your napkin from the table or plate, and place it on your lap. If you are dining out, you should place your napkin in you lap immediately.

Keep your napkin in your lap until you are finished eating. If you must get up at any time during the meal and plan to return, place the napkin on either side of your plate. After you are finished, place your napkin on the table to the left of your plate.

When to Eat

If you are eating out, you should wait until all the members of your group have been served before picking up your fork. At a private dinner, observe the host or hostess and pick up your fork when he or she does. However, if you are at a buffet, you may start when there are others seated at your table.

Silverware

One of the most common issues to confuse today’s diners is which utensil to use for each course. A typical rule of thumb is to start with the utensil that is farthest from your plate and work your way toward the center of your place setting. If you see the host or hostess doing something different, you may follow his or her lead.

The important thing is to remain as inconspicuous as possible.

Table Manners Continued from page 13

Food

For dinners where food is served at the table, the dishes should be passed in a counter-clockwise flow. Never reach across the table for anything.

Instead, ask that condiments be passed from the person closest to the item. Salt and pepper should be passed together. Always use serving utensils and not your own to lift food from the serving dish.

Eating

Table manners were designed to keep people from scarfing food down like animals, so learn them before you eat with others. One of the most important things to keep in mind is that you should never call attention to yourself by blatantly breaking the rules set by society.

Here are some essential dining etiquette rules that you should follow:

Turn off your cell phone before sitting down. It is rude to talk on your phone or text while in the company of others.

Never talk when you have food in your mouth.

That’s just gross. Even if someone asks you a question, wait until you swallow before answering.

Taste your food before you add salt, pepper, or other seasoning. Doing otherwise may be insulting

to the host or hostess.

Don’t cut all your food before you begin eating.

Cut one or two bites at a time.

Never blow on your food. If it is hot, wait a few minutes for it to cool off. Scoop your soup away from you.

Some foods are meant to be eaten with your fingers. Follow the lead of the host or hostess.

If you are drinking from a stemmed glass, hold it by the stem.

Break your bread into bite-sized pieces and butter only one bite at a time.

Try at least one or two bites of everything on your plate, unless you are allergic to it.

Compliment the hostess if you like the food, but don’t voice your opinion if you don’t.

Keep your elbows off the table. Rest the hand you are not using in your lap.

Eat slowly and pace yourself to finish at the same approximate time as the host or hostess.

If you spill something at a restaurant, signal one of the servers to help. If you spill something at a private dinner party in someone’s home, pick it up and blot the spill. Offer to have it professionally cleaned if necessary.

When you finish eating, leave your utensils on your plate or in your bowl.

After the Meal

After you finish eating, partially fold your napkin and place it to the left of your plate. Wait until the host or hostess signals that the meal is over, you may stand. After the meal is over, don’t eat and run. If nothing is planned after dinner, stick around for approximately an hour before saying good-bye to the host and thanking him or her for the dinner. If the event is informal, you may offer to help clean up.

Later

Always send the host or hostess a thank you note or card in the mail, and don’t wait more than a day or two after the event.

Address the host or hostess, thank him or her for the lovely dinner, and add another short, positive comment to show your appreciation.Your note may be brief but heartfelt.

Des iss en grosser Daag in unserm Kalenner un mer sedde meh schwetze devun, as wie menschdeLeit duhne.

-Florence Baver January 26, 1956 We just looked at the calendar here a little, and we see that twenty-fifth is St. Paul’s day. This is a day that not many people talk about and also do not know what its meaning. [Note that the term, calendar, is often used for the almanac in earlier times; see its usage later in this article.] However, St. Paul was a man that counted much in making the world what it is, many years ago. If St. Paul would not have done so much to carry Christianity over the land, then perhaps we could also [be] today among those people who do not believe in Jesus.

Paul was no Christian in his younger years, but one day something happened, that made a new man out of him. As he was walking an unusual light surrounded him and he could no longer see.

He fell on the ground. After that he talked with God and asked Him what he should do. It took three day until he could see again. He was baptized in the town, Damascus, and from that time on he travelled from place to place and talked to the

[ Scripture references for the life of St. Paul: His conversion: Acts 9: 1 – 19; His first missionary tour: Acts 13:1 – 14:28; Second missionary tour: Acts 15:36 – 18:21; Third missionary tour: Acts 18:22 – 21:16] [Epistles of New Testament traditionally attributed to St. Paul: Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Philemon, and Hebrews. However, most scholars no longer attribute the book of Hebrews to St. Paul.] people about Jesus. He made three large trips in his lifetime, which was a big help in bringing Christianity to the whole world. He has fourteen parts (Epistles) in the Bible to his credit, from Romans to Hebrews.

This is an important day on our calendar and we should talk about it more than most people do.

The calendar also speaks of old beliefs for St. Paul’s day. This we can believe or let [alone], exactly like we wish. It says if the weather is nice on that day, then it will be a good year; when it snows or rains, the fruit will be expensive [that year; and] if

“We are thrilled to be able to offer scholarships to our students who are interested in pursuing STEM careers,” said LCCC President Dr. Ann D. Bieber. “There is a demand for talented graduates in the STEM field, and we are happy to be able to help these students start their college careers at LCCC.” Students majoring in science, engineering, mathematics, computing, drafting, industrial automation, electronics technology, electrical technology, mechanical technology and nanofabrication technology will participate as a cohort in structured activities to motivate them to persist in their STEM programs. These activities will include one-on-one mentoring with STEM faculty, orientation, monthly meetings featuring integrated learning labs, mathematics support, student-facilitated study groups, S-STEM buddies, presentations by professionals, workshops, field trips, STEM Club and job/transfer fairs.

Students will be required to create and maintain ePortfolios to record their goals, artifacts of coursework and activities, and ongoing reflections of their personal and professional development.

A component of the project is a research study to determine whether the project’s evidence-based strategies will lead to academic success for community college students in STEM programs.

The principal investigator for the grant is Assistant Professor Dr. Deepika Khilnaney. Students interested in participating in the program, which starts in the fall 2018, should contact Dr. Khilnaney at dkhilnaney@lccc.edu.

championed by Governor Wolf, included new protections and penalties for cold weather.

“This is the first cold weather season since we strengthened the animal cruelty laws in Pennsylvania, which include temperature and shelter restrictions for outdoor pets,” said Governor Wolf.“For far too long we have heard stories of neglected and abused animals who suffered because of deplorable treatment, and with our new landmark anti-cruelty legislation in place, penalties will be enforced for individuals who abuse or neglect an animal.” Act 10, which strengthens Pennsylvania’s animal cruelty laws, states that a dog

cannot be tethered for longer than 30 minutes in temperatures above 90 or below 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

Additionally, animals must be provided sanitary shelter that allows the animal to maintain normal body temperature and keeps the animal dry all year.

“The Humane Society of the United States, Pennsylvania Vet Medical Association, and a number of state and federal agencies strongly support the anti-tethering components of Act 10, which include long overdue, reasonable stipulations regarding the length of time and conditions in which a dog can be kept outside during inclement weather,” said Kristen Tullo, Pennsylvania State Director of the Humane Society of the United States. “Continuous tethering can cause severe physical damages such as cracked and bleeding paws, frostbite and hypothermia. We encourage the public to help to keep the dogs of Pennsylvania safe and warm this winter by reporting animal neglect to the local humane society police officer, local or state police. If it’s too cold for you, it’s too cold for them.”

Earlier this year, the governor signed the package of bills, which includes Libre’s Law. The updated measures clarify the definition of abuse and raise penalties and training and education programs are being developed to prepare authorities responsible for protecting animals through identification and prosecution of animal cruelty crimes.

To report animal abuse call your local or state police. Remember we are their voice.

own. It was great! Unfortunately, my humans divorced, and neither could take me in. Life is all about ups and downs, and I know I’ll rise above this too. Could it be with you?

Humans have let me down a time or two so I need to know I can trust you. Don’t worry, I’m won over easy with treats. I’ll show you all my tricks including ‘sit,’ ‘paw,’ and ‘down.’ Once I feel safe with you, I’ll be your loyal companion until the end. I promise to lick your face, if you promise to give belly rubs and scratch my ears just right.

I tend to get a little excited around other dogs and would do best as the only dog. In fact, I would greatly benefit from continued training. I’m very good with keeping eye contact with my handler on walks when passing other dogs if there are treats involved, and this helps me remain focused on my walk instead of that other dog. I’m told I’m as smart as I am pretty and learn quickly.

‘Bone Up’ On Wise Winter Weather Practices For Your Pet

Notwithstanding their fur coats, pets can feel the cold just as humans do. So it’s up to you to ensure that your furry friends stay safe and warm during the colder months. To help, the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI), the international trade association representing more than 100 power equipment, engine and utility vehicle manufacturers and suppliers, offers these tips: • Know your pet. Different pets have different levels of tolerance for cold. When going out for walks, a short-coated, elderly or frail dog may need a jacket to weather the elements.

• Forgo haircuts. Let your dog’s winter coat protect him against the chill. Save shearing for warmer months.

• Check ears, paws and tails regularly.You’re looking for signs of frostbite or raw spots from ice and snow.

Writer’s Group Forming submitted by SUSAN LAYLAND

Several local authors are looking to get together with other fiction and non-fiction writers to form a local writer’s group. Talking with experienced writers is a great way to find a direction, or learn something new about the craft. However, even those with little or no experience can provide insight, and be a beacon for someone else. It’s the desire to create words that’s more important than how many words you’ve already committed to paper.

We are in the planning stage, and want to structure a group that will offer encouragement, inspiration,

and information, as well as be motivating, supportive and add value. To be successful, we need to have as much input as possible from other writers about what the face of a writer’s group should eventually look like.

For example, some writers might think it’s important to read their work and receive constructive criticism, while others may only be interested in pointed and themed discussions about the elements of writing a story, such as character and plot development. Others may be focused on learning the business, finding an agent, writing a blog, or fleshing out the bones of their current novel.

Whatever your personal interests, a writer’s group can help you achieve your goal.

If you’re interested in helping to make this happen, please contact either Susan Layland (svlayland@gmail.com) or Kathy Rambrisz at (kathyrambrisz@gmail.com.) If it’s easier to call or text, (610)462-4668 for Susan, or (610) 295-4265 to reach Kathy.

Wise Winter Pet Tips Continued from page 25

Remove any clumps of frozen debris from between the paw pads each time your dog goes outside.

• Wipe down your pet’s belly, legs and paws. Have a clean towel ready each time your dog comes inside to remove ice-melting chemicals, which can irritate and cause serious illness if licked or swallowed.

• Clean up antifreeze spills. Due to the sweet smell and taste, pets will lick or drink antifreeze if they find it puddled on sidewalks or garage floors—but antifreeze is toxic to cats and dogs. Clean up spills and consider using a brand made from propylene glycol, which is less toxic.

• Keep the water flowing. Dry winter weather can be dehydrating, as well as freezing. Keep a fresh supply of water inside for your pet and break up any ice accumulation on her outdoor water bowl.

• Provide a warm place to rest.

Winter days can be drafty and cold, so ensure your pet has plenty of elevated places inside to warm up. A cozy pet bed works beautifully.

• Leave Fido at home. You’ve probably heard a lot about the dangers of leaving a pet in a hot car during the summertime, but the practice can be just as hazardous in the winter. It’s always best to leave your dog at home when you’re running errands.

• Keep them leashed. More pets get lost during the winter than any other time of the year. Snow covers familiar scents, making it harder for your dog to find his way home.

Keep your dog on a leash when you’re out and about and make sure his tag and microchip information are up-to-date in case he escapes.
