APRIL 20TH "EASTER"

Hi everyone!

Today is Sunday April 20th, and we're celebrating "Easter."
You may be wondering what to do today. Well, here are some things to do today:

-Casual: Watch some documentaries about how did Easter start. In my opinion, they are very, VERY interesting.
-Committed: Buy eggs, and put chocolates inside them, and hide them in your kitchen. Then, invite three friends to your house. When they arrive, tell them that you hid Easter eggs with 5 dollars inside in your backyard. When they look for them, put the eggs in the door, so when they return, they see them. But, surprise! There are chocolates inside them.

-Hard-Core: Read and do the same as in the committed way of celebration. But in hard-core, you must invite 15 people to your house.

Have a Happy Easter!

Toast Thursday Trouble Presents Today's Short Story

A Green Movement: A Short History of LETTUCE

One of the oldest known vegetables, lettuce is a member of the daisy and thistle family and became known as a water plant for its refreshing properties.

It dates back to the Ancient Greeks who believed it contained sleep inducing properties and so served it at the end of a meal. However, the dictatorial Emperor Domitian (81-96AD) brought it out at the beginning of his feasts so he could torture his guests by forcing them to stay awake in his presence!

The popularity of lettuce continued into Roman times, with people benefiting from its nutritional properties – in fact Emperor Caesar Augustus built a statue praising lettuce as he believed eating it had cured him of an illness! It was traditional for Romans to begin their banquets with lettuce to enhance the appetite and relax the alimentary canal.

Originating from the Mediterranean area, lettuce was first introduced into America by Christopher Columbus when he sailed ‘the ocean blue’ in 1492.

T-Bone Tuesday Team Presents Today's Short Story

A Green Movement: A Short History of GREEN GARLIC

Allium sativum, commonly known as garlic, is a species in the onion genus, Allium.
Its close relatives include the onion, shallot, leek, chive, and rakkyo. With a history of human use of over 7,000 years, garlic is native to central Asia, and has long been a staple in the Mediterranean region, as well as a frequent seasoning in Asia, Africa, and Europe. It was known to Ancient Egyptians, and has been used for both culinary and medicinal purposes.

According to Zohary and Hopf, “A difficulty in the identification of its wild progenitor is the sterility of the cultivars", though it is thought to be descended from the species Allium longicuspis, which grows wild in central and southwestern Asia.

Garlic is easy to grow and can be grown year-round in mild climates. While sexual propagation of garlic is indeed possible, nearly all of the garlic in cultivation is propagated asexually, by planting individual cloves in the ground.
