• The oldest fast food restaurant in the world is the White Castle franchise, which opened in 1921.
• The people of America eat more burgers out at restaurants or on the go than they do at home.
• The largest hamburger ever created was over 8,000 pounds and was cooked for a burger festival in Wisconsin.
• However, the hamburger in its current form, with ground beef and a bun, is a decidedly American creation.
• Hamburgers are made of beef, not ham, and there is much debate over whether they actually originated in Hamburg.

1. Pot de crème is a loose French dessert custard dating to the 17th century.
2. The name means “pot of custard” or “pot of creme”, which also refers to the porcelain cups in which the dessert is served.
3. It is usually looser than other custards, flans, or crème caramel.
4. Pot de crème is made with eggs, egg yolks, cream, milk, and a flavor, often vanilla or chocolate.
5. The milk and cream are heated and flavored, then mixed into the whisked eggs and egg yolks.

God Makes His Point

There are certain things everyone knows not to do. You don’t try to lasso a tornado. You don’t fight a lion with a toothpick. You don’t sneeze into the wind. You don’t go bear hunting with a cork gun. And you don’t send a shepherd boy to battle a giant. You don’t, that is, unless you’re out of options. Saul was. And it’s when we’re out of options that we are most ready for God’s surprises.

Was Saul ever surprised! The king tried to give David some equipment. What do you want, boy? Shield? Sword? Grenades? Rifles? A helicopter?” David had something else in mind. Five smooth stones and an ordinary leather sling. The soldiers gasped. Saul sighed. Goliath jeered. David swung. And God made His point. Anyone who underestimates what God can do with the ordinary has rocks in his head!

Barring falls, illness, etc. etc, it seems my sister is taking me to see a Paul McCartney concert. Good seats, too. I haven't been to a concert since I dated my husband.

1. Darker cherries have higher antioxidant and vitamin levels than lighter ones.
2. On average, commercially grown cherry trees produce about 7,000 cherries annually.
3. Over 75% of the cherries sold in the U.S. come from Michigan.
4. There are two main species of cultivated cherries; the sweet cherry (also called wild cherry), and the sour cherry (also called tart cherry).
5. Freezing cherries not only preserves but also concentrates and improves their taste.

Only The Meek Will See

A small cathedral outside Bethlehem marks the supposed birthplace of Jesus. Behind the altar is a cave, a little cavern lit by silver lamps. You can enter the main edifice and admire the ancient church. You can also enter the quiet cave where a star embedded in the floor recognizes the birth of the King. There is one stipulation, however. You have to stoop. The door is so low you can’t possibly go in standing up.

The same is true of the Christ. You can see the world standing tall, but to witness the Savior, you have to get on your knees. So while theologians consulted their commentaries, and the elite were looking around to see who was watching, the successful checking their calendars, the meek were kneeling. They were kneeling in front of Jesus. May God find you doing the same.
