News; game: classic rock songs on the banjo; did you see that sinkhole in Omaha?; goodbye/fun facts....Strawberries have grown in the wild for thousands of years, and it was the French who first brought this delicious red berry into their gardens for cultivation in the 14th century. Not long afterward, English Archbishop Thomas Wolsey created the winning combination of strawberries and cream for Henry VIII’s court that so many people still enjoy today. However, the early species of strawberries were very different from those we feast on now. It wasn’t until 1712 that a French excursion to Chile resulted in the mixing of different types of strawberry plants, and the garden strawberry we know today was born. If fresh strawberries aren’t at their best in your grocery store, don’t forget the many accessible forms you can always get your hands on. Frozen and dried strawberries can help in a pinch too.

Some historians have said that the famous hanging gardens of Babylon probably contained pistachio plants. In fact, pistachios are only one of two nuts that are actually mentioned in the Old Testament. By the 1st century AD that pistachios made their way to Europe as they traveled there with the Romans then eventually to the U.S. in the 1800's. For several decades, the producers and importers used red dye to hide flaws and try to make them more appealing to american consumers. By the1980s the dye went by the wayside and now they are sold in their natural color. The largest producer of pistachio nuts today is Iran but they are also grown in other warmer areas of the world, including California and Mediterranean Europe.

In 1933 The Goudey Gum Company releases one of the first major baseball card sets...and by 1952 Topps issues its landmark 1952 baseball set with a format that strongly influences how sports trading cards are produced and collected.

The release of Chiquita Banana's Recipe Book in 1950 further secured the banana bread's acceptance. No matter what time of year it is, enjoying a piece of banana bread fills us with instant feelings of comfort and joy.

That’s because mint is a powerful and aromatic herb that aids in digestion and freshens the breath. Combining mint with chocolate happened around the 19th century when chocolate alone was being manufactured as confectionary and for ice cream. In the 1940’s, the creation of the York Peppermint Patty was announced, and this popular development made these two flavours combined, an absolute hit. Then in 1949 Junior Mints were introduced and...Andes Crème de Menthe Thins were introduced in 1950 by a Chicago candy maker...in 1953 Girl scouts begin selling Thin Mint cookies after their rise in popularity. So enjoy something minty today.

Almonds appear in several passages of the Hebrew Bible--reflecting their early importance as a cultivated tree and symbol in the 6th century BC. Eighty percent of the world’s almonds are grown in California. If you aren’t a fan of eating almonds, try celebrating almonds in their other forms--like an almond-based lotion or shampoo, or perfume. If you suffer from dry, flaky, or irritated skin, you can apply almond oil or almond lotions to hydrate your skin and give you a dose of vitamin A.

Joseph Harding, was central to the modernization and standardization of Cheddar cheese. He encouraged dairy hygiene and modern cheese-making techniques. The ‘Joseph Harding method’ was the first Cheddar production method based upon scientific principles. Cheddar cheese is the second most popular cheese, falling right under Mozzarella.

Plum pudding is also known as figgy pudding or Christmas pudding, which is why some think this is a confusing time to celebrate this food holiday. It's also odd that plum pudding contains no plums...that's because raisins were often called “plums” in 17th century Great Britain. It's a steamed or boiled concoction and features nutmeg, raisins, nuts, apples, cinnamon, and dates. To add another layer of misunderstanding, many Americans won’t find it to be what they think of as pudding either. In British tradition, the word “pudding” can describe an impressively wide range of dishes, from savory to sweet, and it often points to a method or format rather than a specific texture. So if you're interested is piqued and you've never tried plum pudding...today is your day!

It's a soft, woven thread that is "brushed" to create a soft texture, while providing additional insulation. Flannel was first created in Wales during the 17th century as a replacement for "gwlanen", which was basically plain wool. Farmers needed something that was warm but also absorb dampness of the Welsh climate. In the United States, flannel became popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, especially among workers in factories, railroads, and logging camps....and today it's great to have a shirt or pjs or even sheets made out of flannel...especially in the winter.

News; Valentine's Day on a budget; game: calendar trivia; goodbye/fun facts....Oatmeal Monday is a quirky tradition with practical roots in Scottish university life... they started the tradition as part of the broader culture of the ancient universities. Long before dining halls, meal plans, and late-night delivery, students were expected to fend for themselves. Oats, ground into oatmeal, were the dependable staple that could survive travel, store well in a room, and turn into a hot meal with minimal equipment. Oatmeal was also forgiving. It could stretch to feed a hungry student, and it tolerated a wide range of add-ins...Since their homes were far from campus, universities gave students a day off in what became a later tradition on the second Monday of February allowing them to return home, gather more supplies, and come back ready for more study. Whether enjoyed as a warm, comforting bowl of porridge or incorporated into other creative dishes, oatmeal remains a symbol of nourishment and simplicity. It also serves as a quiet nod to resilience.

Optimist Day focuses on building and sustaining a positive future because anything can be achieved as long as you stay focused and optimistic. In fact, an optimistic person is more likely to be happy and motivated. The word didn't exist until 1737 when a Jesuit mathematician Pere Louis-Bertrand Castle coins the term ‘optimisme,’ or ‘optimism.’ In 1985 Michael Scheier and Charles Carver formulate the LOT-R test to measure optimism. Optimists recover from surgery quicker and have higher immunity. Often, the first person we forget to be optimistic about is ourselves....so make sure to treat yourself to some self-care by spending time doing something you love. And, of course, it's the perfect opportunity to spend the day paying the kindness forward.

When exposed to ultraviolet light, mushrooms can synthesize vitamin D2 with levels comparable to fortified foods, making them a rare plant‑free, non‑animal dietary source of this important micronutrient. And as long as it's an edible mushroom (because not all of them are) you can make just about any combo you can think of.

But National Puzzle Day is the perfect chance to go back to basics: do a jigsaw puzzle, solve a crossword puzzle or buy a Rubik’s Cube, or you can even download dozen of puzzle games on your phone. While puzzles, as we know them today, are a fairly modern invention, the idea of taking words and using them creatively dates back to ancient Roman times. The first jigsaw puzzles were developed in the mid-1700s, by a British cartographer --John Spilsbury. He started by fastening a map of Europe onto some wood and then cutting out each country. These were then used to teach children about the different countries on the continent. Study after study shows that playing any type of puzzle, soduko, wordle etc is great for your keeping your brain young!"

By the 1970's rock musicians began using kazoos for their quirky sound, reflecting its influence and adaptability across various musical genres and if you can hum...you can play a kazoo! no talent required: and they are affordable--or you can make your own-all you need is a cardboard tube, wax paper, rubber bands, and scissors.

In 1764, it was discovered that cocoa beans that are ground between stones make cocoa powder...so Dr. James Baker financially backed the production of grinding cocoa beans to make cocoa powder. This is the beginning of the company still known as Baker’s chocolate. Then in the 1830s and 1840s, it was primarily a drink that you mixed with water but it wasn’t even sweet. By the 1920s, the humble chocolate cake had become mainstream, and manufacturers began to sell the recipe outright. O. Duff and Sons released the first boxed chocolate cake, ready to eat – no baking required and in 1947 Betty Crocker released a pre-made chocolate cake mix. Ever heard of lavender-infused truffle or a Mexican chili chocolate? Bring out your inner gourmet chef and incorporate an exciting ingredient in your next chocolate cake.

The day also honors bubble wrap’s crucial role in protecting fragile items during shipping, highlighting its versatility and importance beyond just packing material. The history of bubble wrap is quite fascinating. Invented in 1957 by engineers Alfred Fielding and Marc Chavannes, bubble wrap initially failed as a textured wallpaper. It wasn’t until 1961 that its potential for packaging was realized. It found its first major use in protecting IBM 1401 computers during shipping....which obviously became a game changer for the shipping industry. But beyond packaging and stress relief, Bubble Wrap has been utilized in emergency medical settings--to prevent hypothermia, EMTs sometimes use Bubble Wrap as an insulator to wrap accident victims, demonstrating its surprising utility beyond shipping.

Even though rhubarb is generally bitter, when its stalks are red, it has a sweeter taste.. Botanically, it is a vegetable, but in culinary circles, it is used as a fruit...although rhubarb is also used in savory dishes such as with fried pork chops. John Cleese and Marty Feldman even sang a whimsical rhubarb tart song.

In 1909, Ray Newby, a 16-year-old college student started playing records from a small transmitter — long before the term 'disc jockey' is popularized....that happened in 1935 when Walter Winchell coined the term 'disc jockey.'

While it is unclear how far back in human history popcorn goes, a cave in New Mexico shows that popped kernels of corn may have been in use more than 5000 years ago. Corn has played an important role in the diets of many cultures, and has spread to be a worldwide phenomenon since it was imported from the new world. Did you know that the corn we eat and the corn we pop are two different varieties of maize? In fact, the corn you’d find on your dinner table is most likely unable to pop at all! Only one variety of corn is able to become popcorn--This particular corn variety has small ears, and the kernels burst when exposed to dry heat. In the early 1900's Louise Ruckheim added peanuts and molasses to popcorn to bring Cracker Jack to the world...today there are endless amounts of sweet and savory choices...or for a healthier option...just plain is great.
