TIDBITS SERVES UP A HEALTHY

BREAKFAST

by Kathy Wolfe

What’s for breakfast? Since September is all-American Breakfast Month, Tidbits is checking out what’s in the cupboard for the best meal of the day.

• What do eggs, bacon, oatmeal, toast, and waffles have in common? They’re all jentacular, which is a fancy word for “pertaining to breakfast.”

• Drs. John Harvey Kellogg and William K. Kellogg first produced the wheat flake in 1894. Four years later, Kellogg’s Corn Flakes were introduced, and in 1906, the company made its headquarters in Battle Creek, Michigan. The Kellogg Company was the first to create “Waxtite” wrappers to package product inside cereal boxes. William K. Kellogg funded several charities throughout southern Michigan, donating more than $66 million to worthy causes during his lifetime.

• In 1928, Kellogg’s presented Rice Krispies. In 1939, Malitta Jensen and Mildred Day created the longtime favorite recipe for Rice Krispie Marshmallow Treats as part of a fundraiser for the Campfire Girls. The 1930s also brought the introductions of Snap! Crackle! And Pop!, the animated mascots for the cereal. turn the page for more!

BREAKFASTS (continued):

• Back in 1921, as a Minneapolis health clinician was mixing up a pan of bran gruel for his patients, he accidentally spilled some of the glop on a hot stove. It sizzled and crackled and became a crisp flake before his eyes. Thinking it could be a good breakfast item, he presented it to the local Washburn Crosby Company (later General Mills). The mill went to work developing a flake that wouldn’t crumble inside a box, and after 36 tests of different grain varieties, in 1924, Wheaties were born. The company held an internal contest to name the flake, and the entry submitted by an employee’s wife was chosen. The name Wheaties beat out Nutties and Gold Medal Wheat Flakes.

• Radio’s first ever singing radio commercial advertised Wheaties in 1926. In 1933, an advertising company came up with the slogan “Breakfast of Champions,” a phrase still in use today.

Baseball player Lou Gehrig was the first athlete to be featured on the Wheaties box in 1934, and was followed up with Babe Didrikson, Jesse Owen, Joe DiMaggio, Babe Ruth, and several other well-known athletes. However, their faces were all pictured on the side or back of the box until 1958. That was the first year that the picture was on the front of the box, when Olympic pole vaulter Bob Richards was featured. Basketball great Michael Jordan has been on the Wheaties box a record 18 times.

• With all the health benefits of oatmeal, who wouldn’t choose it for breakfast on a regular basis? It helps lower cholesterol, reduces the risk of high blood pressure, is rich in antioxidants, reduces hardening of the arteries, helps stabilize blood sugar, and boosts the immune system.

Sounds like it’s nature’s perfect food!

Laugh a Bit with Tidbits: Q: Why did the horse stir his cereal with his hoof?

A: Because he wanted to feel his oats!

BREAKFAST (continued):

• There are several kinds of oats on the market, including old-fashioned oats, which are whole oats that are simply rolled to flatten them. Quick oats are made the same way, but are cut into smaller pieces for a faster cooking time.

Steel cut oats have not been rolled, but rather are cut into thirds, making for a longer cooking time and thicker texture.

The oats in instant oatmeal are rolled thinner and cut finer. Livestock eat about 95% of the oats grown in America.

• The Quaker Oats Company was the first to register a trademark for a breakfast cereal. The Quaker Oats man image was registered with the U.S. Patent Office in 1877. Although some think his image is that of William Penn, he was registered simply as “a figure of a man in Quaker garb.” The owners selected the likeness because he signified “good quality and honest value.” Quaker was the first to include a recipe on its package, as well as having the original idea of including a premium in the box, which in 1891, was a china ware item. Their familiar cylindrical canister came along in 1915.

• You may not recognize the name of John Gilchrist, but it’s likely that his face is familiar. From 1974 to 1986, Quaker used him, along with his two brothers Michael and Tommy, in an ad campaign for Life cereal. While the older brothers refused to try the cereal, John, known 1. what in name Krispies known in asBy Mikey the are ad, Rice happily ate Life, and Australia and New Zealand? hisHow brothers “Heinlikes 2. many chorused, calories are the it!” average Pop-Tart?

Folks have been making pancakes and biscuits with Bisquick since the mix appeared on the market in 1931. This brand was the first, and soon, 95 other similar mixes were on the shelves. All but six were gone by 1933. Bisquick’s clever advertising slogan was “A World of Baking in a Box.”

BREAKFAST

(continued):

• As far back as 1820, the British were singing the rhyme, “Do you know the muffin man?” During the Victorian period, many households had fresh baked goods delivered to their door by the muffin man, who brought not the cupcake-like confection Americans call a muffin, but rather a flat round bread baked on a griddle. Today, of course, we call them English muffins.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

by Samantha Weaver

● If you live in Waukegan, Illinois, you might be surprised to learn that your property tax is 12 times higher than it would be if you lived in Honolulu.

● If you can't remember the word you want to use, you're suffering from lethologica. But you probably won't remember that when it happens. ● A hummingbird weighs less than a penny. ● The name of the state of Idaho comes from the KiowaApache word "idaahe,"which means "enemy." ● Every spring, one of the world's great migrations occurs.

At the end of March, 500,000 cranes descend upon an 80-mile stretch of Nebraska land, representing about 80 percent of all the cranes on the planet.

● Have you ever made a bet when you'd been drinking too much, and later wondered what you'd been thinking? If so, it might make you feel better to consider the case of a pilot named Thomas Fitzpatrick. In 1956, he was drinking at a bar in New York City when a rather boisterous argument ensued regarding his flying ability. To prove his skills to his drinking buddies, Fitzpatrick went to New Jersey, stole a small plane and landed it on the street in front of the Manhattan bar -- all while allegedly drunk. The story, remarkable as it is, doesn't end there, however. A couple of years later he was boasting about the incident, but his story was met with disbelief. To prove himself once again, he repeated the stunt. ● It was German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche who made the following sage observation: "We have art to save ourselves from the truth."

• In 1971, McDonald’s had no breakfast business. After one franchisee cooked up an egg, added cheese and Canadian bacon and put it on an English muffin, the company adopted his idea calling it the Egg McMuffin. About 25% of McDonald’s sales are from breakfast sales these days.

• In 1919, Minnesota mill owner John Campbell started a company with $900 worth of poker winnings. He added malt flavoring to farina cereal and dubbed his creation Malt-O-Meal. It’s now the third largest producer of cereals in the United States with 1,400 employees and annual sales topping $750 million. The number of varieties has grown from one hot farina cereal to 28 bagged types.

• Colombian: This term means different things to different people, depending on how you get your “jones.” Narcotics dealers may refer to their products as Colombian, although the actual source is often unknown. Luckily, the majority of us prefer a bit of legal Colombian, as in the coffee grown in the South American nation. The prevalence of coffee shops throughout America is proof enough that many of us just can’t get along in the morning without a hot cup of Colombian.

WAFFLES

In conjunction with All-American Breakfast Month, Tidbits gives you info on this week’s celebration of National Waffle Week.

• Waffles have been around since about the 9th century, although people were using a type of waffle iron to make communion wafers prior to that time. The word “waffle” has its origin in the Dutch language, meaning “wafer.” Beginning in the 13th century, waffle-making plates were stamped with various designs, such as a landscape scene, family crest, or religious symbol • When Thomas Jefferson returned from a stint as Ambassador to France in 1789, he brought a long-handled waffle iron home with him and is reported to have regularly held waffle parties at his home. In 1869, 60-year-old Cornelius Swarthout received the first patent for a stovetop waffle iron. General Electric debuted an electric waffle iron in 1911, even though homes with electricity were few.

• What North Americans call Belgian waffles don’t even resemble those found in Belgium. The Belgians call theirs Brussels waffles, which are quite crispy on the outside and made with yeast rather than baking powder like their American counterparts. In 1964, Maurice Vermersch sold fluffy Brussels waffles at New York’s World’s Fair. Because he didn’t think anyone would know where Brussels was, he called his creation Belgian waffles. A Belgian waffle is larger with a deeper grid pattern and larger squares than a standard American waffle, and is frequently topped with fresh fruit, whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and powdered sugar.

• We owe the ice cream cone to a wafflemaker. At the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, the owner of a booth selling ice cream ran out of cups and sought assistance from a waffle vendor who helped by rolling up waffles to hold the ice cream.

• By the 1930s, the electric waffle iron was a common appliance in most households.

Prices ranged from $7.50 to $12.00, depending on whether it had a signal bell that rang when the waffles were ready.

• The Waffle House chain got its start in 1955 when neighbors Joe Rogers and Tom Forkner joined forces in Atlanta, Georgia. Joe was working for a restaurant chain and Tom was in the real estate business when they made their dream a reality. Although the friends didn’t intend to start a chain, by 1961, there were four Waffle Houses.

Today there are 1,700 in 25 states. Since their 1955 debut, they’ve sold close to 900 million waffles and served up more than 2.5 billion eggs. All the bacon they serve in one year, laid end-to-end, would wrap around the equator. Every year, customers eat close to 350,000 lbs. of pecans at these restaurants. The site of the very first Waffle House is now the company’s museum.

• Three San Jose, California brothers are responsible for Eggo frozen waffles. Tony, Sam, and Frank Dorsa introduced their product to grocery stores in 1953, calling them Froffles, but when customers started calling them “eggos” because of their “eggy” taste, the name was changed in 1955. Eggo waffles are now a division of Kellogg’s, and their advertising slogan “L’eggo my Eggo” is a familiar one.

TOOLS 4 LIFE

BY DR. JIM COYLE

IDEA

I recently read an acronym (IDEA) from John Maxwell that exemplified how Jesus mentored and reproduced Himself in helping His disciples live to their fullest potential. My greatest satisfaction in life is to know that I am being used to help others get to a better place. The example of Christ is fuel for those who want to make a difference. Here is what Jesus did for His team in person and what He still does for us today.

Instruction: He verbally taught. He constantly used daily routines to instruct them Demonstration: He modeled the truth and let His men observe his life. He provided show-and-tell Experience: He let the disciples participate and apply the truths themselves. They got to practice Assessment: He debriefed their shared experience. He assessed their growth and gave them direction What a great IDEA!! No matter what hat you wear, you will influence someone. Help make a difference.

Computer Use Keeps Brain in High Gear

We can improve our memory and store brain power for the future by surfing the Internet and checking email. So says a study with the unwieldy title of “English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA): Can Internet/Email Use Reduce Cognitive Decline?”

Per the study, besides “storing” cognitive ability (brain-based skills) for the future, digital literacy also “leads to the employment of more efficient cognitive networks to delay cognitive decline” -- in other words, we find new ways of getting the results we want.

It makes sense. Digital literacy involves more than just pressing buttons on the keyboard. Hunting for what we want on the Internet involves thinking, planning and carrying out what we want to do, evaluating what we find and maybe sharing it in email with others. And it’s not just computers; smart phones, tablets and laptops play a part in digital literacy -- as long as we understand how to use them.

The study used a large group -- 6,400 adults in Britain -- ages 50 to 89, with annual retests for eight years. As tests of memory, they were given 10-word lists for later recall.

The conclusion was that good health, financial status and education -- and digital literacy -- resulted in better memory. Those who didn’t use the Internet showed declines. Current users increased their recall capability.

The good news is that over half of seniors between 65 and 74 have Internet access, in both the U.K. and the U.S. Key is that little caveat about financial status. Not everyone can afford a computer and Internet access. However, there are ways to get around this.

Senior centers often give classes on Internet browsing, use of cellphones, useful computer programs like email and bookkeeping, and the like. And if they don’t have computers that seniors can use, the library usually does.
