Believe you me, my 3 days in Amsterdam were spent seeking out all the wheel-shaped foods. And your girl only hopped on a bike to pedal away the calories a total of een keer (that’s Dutch for one time). Pancakes, stroopwafels, Gouda cheese, oh my! Honestly, this is not the ...

I was on a footbridge over a waterway with a plan to capture a close-up of a Western Grebe. I had noticed a pattern in her evening feeding. She would float downstream to the bridge, diving along the way for tasty crustaceans, then fly back upstream for a repeat run at the buffet. I had a few good...

The main reason pork is forbidden for Muslims is because it says in the Holy Quran that some food is allowed, while others are declared haram, which means forbidden and pork is one of those forbidden foods. However, there is an exception that is written in the Quran as well where it states that you ...

Ifyou ask me why you shouldn’t eat pigs, I’d say it’s ’cuz they’re so darn cute. But what does God have against them? Twice in the law of the Old Testament we read that pigs “unclean,” and eating them is forbidden. It’s been a great theme in relig...

The DC appeals court has finally made its ruling on whether or not Trump is immune from prosecution for inciting an insurrection. HE IS NOT. Now it’s on to the Supreme Court. They could agree not to hear it which means today’s ruling stands and it’s on to trial. Or it could rule in...

The Origins of Pancake Day Shrove Tuesday falls 47 days before Easter Sunday each year, and just before the beginning of Lent. During Lent, some observant Christians fast for 40 days (excluding Sundays) from Ash Wednesday until Easter Sunday, so Shrove Tuesday was the last day to pig out. Simi...

If you break it down, that’s what the word “tofu” (豆腐 | dòufu) refers to — rotten beans. Well, okay, maybe not really. 豆 (dòu) means bean, and 腐 (fu) means rotten, decomposed, decaying, spoiled. But why do rotten beans make tofu in Chinese? S...
