A 10 gallon cowboy hat does not hold 10 gallons of water. The term comes from the Spanish word for a hat braid, galon. Yum! 1 acre of peanut plants is enough to make 30,000 peanut butter sandwiches. The mountain gorilla of East Africa can eat up to 75 lbs. of vegetation every day!

An East African mountain gorilla would make short work of one acre of peanut plants and still have enough left over for several 10 gallon hat braids.

One of the best sandwiches is a Fluffernutter. PB and marshmallow. When one of my daughters was in LA, I had to send her the marshmallow because no one out there had heard of this marvelous combo.
