A guy was watching TV as his wife was out cutting the grass during the hot summer afternoon. He finally worked up the energy to go out and ask his wife what was for dinner.
The wife was quite irritated about him sitting in the air conditioned house all day while she did all the work, so she scolded him. “I can’t believe you’re asking me about dinner right now! Imagine I’m out of town, go inside and figure dinner out for yourself.”
So he went back in the house and fixed himself a big steak, with potatoes, garlic bread and a tall glass of iced tea.
The wife finally walked in about the time he was finishing up and asked him, “You fixed something to eat? So where’s mine??”
“Huh? I thought you were out of town.” he replied.
When scientists discovered the world’s oldest preserved cheese smeared on the necks of ancient mummies in China, it raised a lot of questions.
Now DNA analysis is answering some of them. It solidified that two of the three curdled samples of kefir cheese are likely made from cow milk, while a third came from goat milk. And a closer look at bacteria in the cheese offers new insights into the origin story of Asian dairy fermentation, revealing how kefir culturing techniques spread across the continent, paleontologist Qiaomei Fu and colleagues report September 25 in Cell.
The samples were first found over 20 years ago in Xinjiang, China, on nearly 3,600-year-old Xiaohe mummies. Scientists couldn’t fully identify the samples back then. In 2014, another group reported evidence that the that the mystery curds were made from kefir. The yogurtlike drink is made by fermenting milk with kefir grains, which consist of live bacteria and yeast cultures. When drained, kefir becomes a lumpy mass of cheese.
To get a stain out of the carpet, wet some baking soda just enough to form a paste and cover the stain. Then slice some cheese, put it on garlic toast and enjoy the wonderful taste of a garlic cheese sandwich. Later, in the middle of the night, when you remember the carpet stain, get up and sop up the baking soda with a wet cloth. Cover the spot with a dry cloth and place a copy of War and Peace on it until it dries.

Too bad the Chinese didn’t also have macaroni in 1576 BC.

Who the heck put their feet in garlic to find this out. And then did they use Baking Soda to deodorize them?!!

Who was rubbing garlic on their feet (and why) when they figured out you could taste it that way?
