I'm not goin to be around much for the next couple days so I'll give you a few facts. Here's the one for today. Pretzels were invented in southern France in A.D. 610 by French monks, who shaped them to look like a child's arms folded in prayer. Well, that's it for today's. Saturdays fact. King Henry III of France dined regularly on partridges coated with solid gold, omelets sprinkled with ground up pearls, and poultry soaked in expensive perfume. Well, that's it for tomorrow. Here's Sunday's fact. The most popular dessert at ancient Roman banquets was a sweet onion. That's it for Sunday's. Sorry that I had to do them all at once but I'm going to my grandparent's house and they don't have a computer. See you all on Sunday sometime. |
