TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Southport resident saves a nearby house in the most unique way ever

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Southport resident saves a nearby house in the most unique way ever

This week a very historic house in Southport was set to me demolished when a neighbor swooped in to save the day.

John Koren who lives a few houses down the road heard that the home was going to be destroyed. Since he had been in the market to build a guest house anyway he decided to save himself the trouble of all the contruction and just move THIS HOUSE to HIS property.

Sounds crazy, but after building a giant steel track and moving it little by little for a few days they got it done. Impressive!

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: What is the difference between Frosting and Icing?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: What is the difference between Frosting and Icing?

Maybe you are still snacking on a few leftover cupcakes from Valentine’s Day and this thought crossed your mind. What is the difference between frosting and icing? Not a whole lot actually, but there are subtle differences.

Frosting is generally thicker and fluffier than icing. Icing rends to be shiny and thin making it harder to spread across a big cake like frosting. Icing it better spooned or drizzled on baked goods. Icing also has a sugar base whereas frosting is usually buttercream and sweeter. Frosting is better for coloring too.

Yum. Now I want a cupcake.
