FOODIE'S CORNER
ZOMBIES
Pro or Con?
Let's talk brains. OK, since this is supposed to be a food tidbit, let's talk BEEF brains.
Did you know that Americans have eaten beef brains for at least 100 years? They have lots of protein as well as a type of Omega-3 fatty acid (good fat). Plus, they contain copper, selenium, and several B vitamins.
On the other hand, beef brains are loaded with cholesterol, and, on a really bad day may contain bovine spongiform encephalitis - "mad cow disease."
So before you dig in you have to ask yourself, are you feeling lucky? |

Garden Tips
ATTRACTING BATS
We need bats. They eat tons of annoying insects such as mosquitos and also bugs that destroy crops. Plus,where would the cult horror movie industry be today were it not for bats? But how to attract them? Sure, putting up a few bat houses would help. You can also...
1.Install a pond. Don't drain that wetland. Don't cut down that forest. Native habitats are crucial for bat survival.
2. Leave that dead tree standing! They may be ugly, but hollowed out old trees make excellent bat roosts.
3. Leave bats alone! If they are living in places where they don't generally pose a health threat, such as barns or other unoccup ied buildings, let them be!  |
