He was a doctor and farmer who retired to dedicate his time to study the formation of rocks. In 1788 he published “Theory of the Earth”...By the 20th century, studies in geology helped push theories about the exact age of planet Earth and how continents were shaped. Collect Rocks Day was taken to another level in 1969 by Apollo 11 astronauts who brought back the first samples of lunar rocks. Get outside, visit a local rock shop, or start a new collection!

Cheese Toast is made by broiling the open-face bread on a pan in the oven, which leaves the cheese golden and delicious. Cheese toast is possibly the easiest thing that a person can make at home in their own kitchen. This modern food delight was created by Del Johnson in 1958 when he opened his first Sizzler restaurant. It became an instant success and a fan favorite but The Welsh rarebit or Welsh rabbit, a form of cheese toast, first appears as a dish in 1725 which uses a bechamel sauce and mustard..but it can be as simple as a piece of bread with sliced american cheese.

The sweet was a favorite among British schoolboys in the first half of the 20th century. Gobstoppers are made by slowly depositing layers onto a core (such as a pressed ball of sugar or a gumball); it takes several weeks to manufacture, as the process of adding liquid sugar is repeated a lot of times. By the 1700s, machinery was being introduced in larger-scale confectionery companies to create more interesting and unique sweets, such as the gobstopper....and then Roald Dahl the British novelist best known for his childrens books, including 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,' introduced the fantastical concept of the 'Everlasting Gobstopper.' His imaginative storytelling brought the idea of a multi-layered, never-ending candy to life, inspiring the real-world confection.

There were always 6 moments of silence...until this year when a 7th was added. After all the names have been read another moment will occur to honor those who have died post 9/11 from illness and injury due to the toxic air exposure. There are now dozens and dozen of 9/11 documentaries, films, short specials and multi part TV specials to watch across every streamer.

The best ideas are products of several minds coming together to do something...hence the saying two heads are better than one or even more if you brainstorm with several people! Being part of a think tank can really help propel an idea into an invention!

Unlike some of the other hunters in the party, Roosevelt had not been able to shoot a single bear so his aides trapped and tied a black bear to a willow tree, however, Roosevelt declined to shoot the bear because he thought it was highly unsportsmanlike. A political cartoonist, saw the report and chose to parody the president’s unwillingness to shoot the bear in a funny manner...then a local candy shop owner made a stuffed bear (named Teddy's Bear) and the trend took off.

Since that time---Writers and designers see it as a creative way to add style and elegance to their work. Think of all the companies and products that use the ampersand in their logo...just to name a few: Ben & Jerry's, M&M's, Barnes & Noble, Dolce & Gabana....

Acorn squash originated in North America when Native Americans were growing and eating the squashes for nourishment when European colonizers arrived. Because of its long-lasted durability, it can last months without rotting and it can be cooked in various ways: steamed, sauteed, baked, or microwaved. Many recipes include spices such as nutmeg, cinnamon, coriander, and cardamom to bring out the slightly sweet yet nutty flavor of this vegetable which also offers a good source of dietary fiber and potassium. It also has some vitamin C and B, magnesium, and manganese.

The nuts from the trees were an instant hit among the locals, leading to the establishment of the nut industry. These versatile nuts are prized for their rich flavor and nutritional benefits. Bake with them, sprinkle them on salads, or enjoy them roasted as a healthy snack.

These feats of engineering reshape cities, providing homes and offices high above the streets. There are generally 2 men that are considered the 'Father of the American Skyscraper,' one is William Le Baron Jenney was an American architect and engineer. He designed the Home Insurance Building in Chicago, completed in 1885, which is widely considered the world's first skyscraper due to its innovative steel-frame construction. At ten stories, which by today’s standards hardly seems high at all...but for that time it was huge. The other is Louis H. Sullivan...he invented the steel frame and popularized the famous design rule that a building's shape should reflect its inner purpose and structure. In fact, he was Frank Lloyd Wright's mentor. Burj Khalifa is currently the tallest building in the world at 2,722 feet.

Spalding was an American baseball icon. He began his career as a pitcher for the Boston Red Stockings. After playing in major league baseball from 1871–1878, Spalding continued on not only as a manager and an executive, but he also wrote the first official set of rules for the game. But the reason that most people may find the Spalding name familiar is because of the sporting goods company he started with his brothers. A.G. was one of the first to set the trend of wearing a baseball glove. So it made sense that his company manufactured equipment for the game of baseball.

Even if you make your own, you can also get them in store (big box stores sell them) or try every bbq place in town!

Turnover is basically a pastry that is made by placing a filling (in today's case it's cherry) inside of a piece of dough. You then fold the dough over and seal it so that the filling does not leak out. Once you have done this, you can either deep fry or bake the turnover, resulting in a deliciously flaky and golden crust. Cherries themselves offer a number of nutritional benefits---the antioxidants in this red fruit protect cells from damage. And cherries pack an anti-inflammatory punch, they may help reduce the risk of heart disease, too. Of course if cherries aren't your thing...you can make turnover with any filling you like.

Before the advent of toilet paper, from at least 79 A.D. the Romans cleaned themselves with a type of sponge they attached to a stick and they would simply rinse it off and leave it for the next person. It wasn’t until 1857 that toilet paper began being sold in the United States of America. The first toilet paper was loose flat sheets of paper. Currently, in many countries across the world, especially older cultures where their plumbing infrastructures are not modern, the toilet paper is not flushed down the toilet..their bathrooms often have special receptacles. Since industry is always trying "new and improved" you can get Bamboo Toilet Paper--because bamboo grows so quickly, it is a sustainable, renewable and eco-friendly and reduces the use of the planet’s trees and Recycled Fiber Toilet Paper. One company makes their recycled toilet paper completely from recycled office paper–and they offer a subscription service so families never have to worry about buying toilet paper at the store again!

But on August 24, 1869, Cornelius Swarthout of Troy, New York received his patent for the waffle iron. His invention made waffles more readily available. Eaten throughout the world, a waffle is a leavened batter or dough. When cooked between two patterned plates, the dough bakes in the waffle's characteristic uniform impressed surface. For the serious waffles lovers in the world, one amazing place is Belgium, specifically the capital city of Brussels. Belgian waffles are thicker and fluffier with deep grid pockets, traditionally made with a yeast or whipped egg white batter while regular aka American waffles are thinner and denser with a cake-like texture and shallow squares, typically made with baking powder and quick batter.

Whether it's a hair pomade, face wash or a bro mask, men's grooming has been evolving since 1851. Originating as an apothecary in New York City's East Village, Kiehl's is renowned for its scientifically advanced skincare. In 1901 King C. Gillette revolutionized shaving with his disposable safety razor. By 1937, Old Spice, one of the oldest and most recognizable men's grooming brands, came on the scene...they now offer a large line of deodorants and body washes.

There is evidence that Native Americans were consuming pecans as far back as 10,000 years ago. The word ‘pecan’ is thought to have roots in the Algonquin word meaning ‘hard nut to crack.’ Chocolate itself is derived from the cacao plant that has a history dating back approximately 4000 years to Mesoamerica. While pecan pies were likely being eaten before the 1800s, the first official published recipe was in an issue of “Harper’s Bazaar” magazine in 1886. The pecan capital of the United States is highly contested, but one place that calls themselves this is Albany, Georgia---and a 2013 Buzzfeed survey ranks pecan pie as the fourth most important pie of all-time.

The natural next step would be making ice cream into pies. Historians agree that variations of ice cream, or at least frozen treats, have been around for centuries. Earlier versions were likely more like shaved ice with honey or fruit flavors. Later versions evolved into something like sherbet, and then eventually milk was added to create a version similar to what is known today as ice cream. But the ice cream pie has a much more recent history. It seems that ice cream pie was probably developed in the United States, perhaps by Italian immigrants, at some time in the mid-20th century. This timing would go along with the introduction of the freezer into restaurants and homes. Today you can frind them at ice cream shops and grocery stores or you can make your own!

It consists of vanilla ice cream on a Popsicle stick with an outer coating of sherbert. While many other flavors now exist, the original flavor was orange. The beginnings of this sweet treat dates back to 1905 when 11 year old Frank Epperson accidentally created what would later become known as the Popsicle. As the story goes, Epperson left a concoction of fruit juice and water outside overnight when the temperatures dropped below freezing. When he found the frozen mix the next morning, with a stir stick frozen in the middle, the Popsicle was born. In 1925: The Joe Lowe Company bought the rights to the Popsicle patent and expanded the line....by 1937 the classic orange-and-vanilla Creamsicle made its official market debut. Today many other flavors exist like: cherry, grape, lime, blue raspberry, and blueberry.

The julienne cut involves cutting food into long, thin strips, often resembling matchsticks. You can find julienne fries at restaurants, you can make your own, or you can buy matchstick potatoes in a can at the grocery store!

Later, in 1927, the Girl Scouts published a similar recipe in “Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts” but they called it ‘some more.’ Finally, in the late ’30s to late ’50s, various recipes gave the name as we know it today, s’mores. While 41% of people surveyed in a recent study enjoy s’mores most during the summer, the 20% die-hards enjoy them year-round.
