The Cat’s Meow…

Miss India won Miss Universe, and when asked about her special talent, she said it was probably her spot-on cat’s meow. We think we can do a bit better though! Who from the show has the best meow?

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Two cops make a winter rescue pulling dog from frozen lake

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Two cops make a winter rescue pulling dog from frozen lake

We are getting into that time of year when the lakes and ponds freeze over for the winter. Always fun to skate, play, and slide on them. As long as you take precaution and be VERY careful for your safety.

Luckily for this poor dog in Spain recently there were two cops nearby when he feel into the broken ice. They both dove into the freezing-cold lake to save the dog.  Someone nearby got it all on video too! Incredible. Glad the pup is home safe.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Where did “eggnog” get its name?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Where did “eggnog” get its name?

One of the most festive drinks this time of year… delicious eggnog. But where did that silly name come from?

Eggnog is a beverage that originated back in medieval Britain times. They would make it as a hot, milky, ale-like drink made with egg and figs. Legend has it that the “nog” comes from “noggin,” meaning a wooden cup they would serve it in, or “grog,” which was the name for a strong beer or rum which they would add to the drink.

By the late 18th century, the combined term “eggnog” stuck and spread around the world as the go-to name.

I may have to pour an eggnog this weekend in a wooden noggin’!
