One of my favorite things in the world to do is actually dig through random facts and crazy stories. I have no idea why it is a thing but there is something satisfying to me about odd notes in history or science and I fall down quite a few rabbit holes in my daily life. I don’t know where this curiosity comes from but it feeds my soul so I thought I would share a few of the things that I have stumbled across in the past couple of days just to share some of the nonsense.

Ten Twisted and Sinister Fates of Presidents’ Remains.
why does this interest me? I have absolutely no idea but it does. I guess it’s because even in that there is no permanence. it’s kind of crazy the things that to the dead. I could go into the sacredness of someone’s remains but that special connotation is only true to the beholder and not to the average other person. Still, I feel that we should honor the sacred bond someone has with the remains of their dead. But it is crazy what some people do.

Three Ingredient Coconut Donuts
I always find these recipes and think how I should try that but I know that I never will. Mostly because if it involves baking, I never have self rising flour. But these seem so easy to do and I almost wonder if you use raspberry yogurt instead of coconut yogurt they would taste like raspberry zingers which I really like. so I might actually try to making these.

Spicy Nonna and Stuffed Artichokes
I love artichokes. Like adore and love and mmmmm artichokes. I wish I could find the small artichokes people use to cook whole but all we have around here are the large ones. Still, one day I shall have a supply of small artichokes and I shall be in heaven. I really want to try this recipe. It looks so very tasty. One day!

And lastly…. Checkers and Pogo
This show was a staple in so many of Hawai’i’s kids. I was a participant from the audience once and it was a highlight. I’m sure both men were probably sick of it all but it paid the bills and well, they were loved and adored. It’s been forever since I’ve thought about it but here is a retrospective of the show. There’s three parts and well, it definitely is very much a local thing.
