News; did you see the live nation employee texts/emails!?!?; game: calendar trivia; goodbye/fun facts....national driving instructor day...driving instructors have a very difficult job! Preparing drivers with rules of the road, sign memorization, safety issues---not to mention they are literally risking their own lives at times by giving the driver's seat over to someone who is unqualified and a complete novice. The first mandatory national driving test was introduced in 1899 in France, and around the US states were joining in on the practice of requiring licenses for drivers which eventually developed into the need for instructors to teach all of these drivers how to drive. In the US there is no single national standard for becoming a driving instructor, so qualification rules differ markedly...though many states require a high school diploma, at least two to five years of clean driving experience, a background check. Do you think you have what it takes to teach a complete stranger how to drive?

It is a dense, multi-layered cake made with breadcrumb or groundnut base and layered with a heavy helping of cream, jam, buttercream, ganache, or fruit. Flour-based cakes typically rely on gluten development and chemical leavening for lift and a tender crumb. Tortes often rely on whipped eggs, nut meals, or carefully handled batters for a tighter, more luxurious bite. Coconut is well-known for its nutrients, such as vitamin B6, zinc, calcium, phosphorus, and iron. Indulge your sweet cravings while eating healthy.

He developed innovative filmmaking techniques that influenced generations of future filmmakers and changed the way we view horror and mystery. He directed over 50 films in his career and became an expert at nerve-wracking suspense, twist endings, and psychologically complex characters. So why is march 12th hitchcock day since it's not his birthday or day he died... the origins of March 12 as National Alfred Hitchcock Day remain a mystery — a fitting tribute for the Master of Suspense himself. And he's actually Sir Alfred Hitchcock...He was knighted in 1979, shortly before his death in his sleep in his Los Angeles home.

It does take some getting used to...and you have to use distilled water or boil and cool water on the stove. It helps to reduce nasal swelling, which ultimately leads to an increase in airflow and clear all that icky out and people have been doing this since 1,000 BC...

The story of ranch dressing dates back several decades, to the late 1940s. In fact, the claim to the first creation of this strictly American condiment goes to a man named Steve Henson who originally thought of the concoction of buttermilk and herbs when he was working in Alaska. After moving to California and purchasing the Hidden Valley dude ranch in California, Henson started serving and selling his salad dressing commercially. Ranch style dressing was originally sold as dry packets of herbs and spices that were meant to be mixed with milk and mayonnaise (which is the best tasting). Today ranch is one of the most popular salad dressings and condiments that is sold in the United States. Americans consume over $1 billion worth of ranch annually.

Most people may associate them with Italian cuisine but early recipes for meatballs are found in ancient Chinese, Arabic and Roman texts—and every culture seems to have their own version! Beef, pork, and veal are most popular, but they can be made with chicken, fish or even vegan. Meatballs are made by taking ground or minced meat such as beef, pork or lamb, mixing it with spices, breadcrumbs, rice, eggs or other ingredients and then rolling it into a ball to be cooked. Cooking methods vary and include frying, braising or baking. You can buy them in the frozen section of the grocery store too...and did you know Swedish furniture chain IKEA's foot court is known for their meatballs. In fact, IKEA sells a whopping billion meatballs every year

However, some people don't know much about their middle names. This is the perfect day to ask our parents about them. Middle names first appeared in English-speaking countries, but records indicate that the practice may have been used in higher class, wealthy families first. In fact, at the time, it was common for those of high birth status to have many names–sometimes several middle names. This is still the practice in modern royal families. Some beloved cartoon characters even have middle names: Donald Duck's middle name is Fauntleroy.

In the mid‑20th century, department stores, hotels, and restaurants began standardizing employee name badges as part of a professional uniform...and in 1959 the popular "Hello, My Name Is…" name tags are introduced by C-Line Products---just don't forget to take it off before you wash your clothes!
