Aisle Salmon
The act of moving in the opposite direction of everyone else using the
aisle. While they can be spotted in any type of aisle, they are
frequently seen on airlines during loading and deplaning.
Did you see the 'aisle salmon' trying to work his way back five rows
to get a roller bag our of the overhead while everyone was trying to
get off the plane?

aisle
c.1370, ele, from O.Fr. ele "wing" (of a church), from L. ala, related
to axilla "wing, upper arm, armpit," from PIE *aks- "axis" (see axis),
via a suffixed form *aks-la-. The root meaning in "turning" connects
it with axle and axis. Confused 15c. with unrelated ile "island"
(perhaps from notion of a "detached" part of a church), and so it took
an -s- when isle did, c.1700; by 1750 it had acquired an a-, on the
model of Fr. cognate aile. The word also was confused with alley,
which gave it the sense of "passage between rows of pews or seats"
(1731), which was then extended to railway cars, theaters, etc.

Salmon is the common name for several species of fish of the family
Salmonidae. Several other fish in the family are called trout, the
difference is often attributed to the migratory life of the salmon as
compared to the residential behaviour of trout, this holds true for
the Salmo genus. Salmon live in both the Atlantic (one migratory
species Salmo salar) and Pacific Oceans, as well as the Great Lakes
(approximately a dozen species of the genus Oncorhynchus).
Typically, salmon are anadromous: they are born in fresh water,
migrate to the ocean, then return to fresh water to reproduce.
However, there are rare species that can only survive in fresh water
habitats. This is most likely due to the domestication of these
certain species of Salmon. Folklore has it that the fish return to the
exact spot where they were born to spawn, tracking studies have shown
this to be true but the nature of how this memory works has long been
debated.

How to Repackage Bulk Ground Beef

How to Repackage Bulk Ground Beef
How many times have you seen ads in the paper for ridiculously low
prices on bulk ground beef, then asked yourself, "What am I going to
do with a 5, 10 or 15 pounds of ground meat"? You can always throw the
5 lb bag of ground meat in the freezer, which is fine as long as you
remember to get it out four days before you are going to use it. This
article will describe a better way--repackaging the meat into smaller
portions. If you portion them into 1 quart zip lock bags and make them
about one inch (2.5cm) thick, they will thaw out in no time.

Food of the Week: Winter Squash

* Sweet soups and more... Enjoy
* Post your own comments and/or recipes
 
 
Squash, winter
We are just beginning to discover the wealth of nourishment supplied
by the mildly sweet flavored and finely textured winter squash, a
vegetable that was once such an important part of the diet of the
Native Americans that they buried it along with the dead to provide
them nourishment on their final journey. Winter squash is available
from August through March; however, they are at their best from
October to November when they are in season.

Winter squash (Australia: pumpkin) is a warm-seasoned vegetable,
representing several species within the genus Cucurbita. It differs
from summer squash in that it is harvested and eaten in the mature
fruit stage, when the seeds within have matured fully and the skin has
hardened into a tough rind. At this stage, most varieties of this
fruit can be stored for use during the winter. It is generally cooked
before eating.
