What did you learn today?
.
As for me;
I was curious about why white chocolate is white, so I wiki'd it, found that it was the lack of theobromine (found in cocoa, which white chocolate has none of, except cocoa butter), which I turned and read up on, and found this:
The amount of theobromine found in chocolate is small enough that it can be safely consumed by humans, but animals that metabolize theobromine more slowly, such as dogs, can succumb to theobromine poisoning from as little as 50 grams of chocolate for a smaller dog and 400 grams for an average-sized dog. The same risk is reported for cats as well, although cats are less likely to ingest sweet food, having no sweet taste receptors.
So I learned why chocolate is bad for animals, and that cats have no sweet taste receptors! Pssht, yeah right they don't, why else would mine be constantly licking me? ;)
I got to learn today that I am going to be asked to transfer, disguised as a promotion, to our Mexican factory in Juarez/El Paso TX. I will fight it tooth and nail!!! >:(
I also learned that my local Trader Joe has vegan ice cream so I bought 3 tubs. ;)b
I learned that the new MGD64 is pretty good. I'm on my second bottle right now
MGD64
What's that???? Booze?
I learned there is going to be a new 90210 on the CW....maybe I'm behind but I just heard. Kinda of exciting since I was a 90210 addict in college! 8)
MGD64
What's that???? Booze?
Yeah, it's a beer. Miller Genuine Draft 64. Basically it's MGD Light... and it has 64 calories in a bottle. Light tasting, but refreshing all the same!

Obviously, we're waiting for details.
Don't even get me started on the booze topic.... I just discovered Hiram Walker peach flavored brandy....surprising tasty, yet strong for the bargain price of $9.99.... I think I'm in love :D :)>>> :D

do you mix it or drin it straight? I never knew what to do with brandy.
my new thing for today is I tried a crenshaw melon. the lady that owns the little produce store by my house gave it to me because it needed to be eaten soon, and I was asking about it. it was good, kinda mild, I like cantelope better though

Either for me.... actually (no I'm not an alcoholic) it is very tasty if you add a shot of peach brandy to a glass of chardonnay....trust me. I've made that for a lot of people and they really liked it! But straight is good too or mixed with tonic water.
SB I don't like the blackberry, or the cherry for that matter. I only like the peach and apricot! Whiskey :P My hubby likes whiskey, crown royale to be exact ;)
I feel like I've thrown this threat off topic ::)

I love me some whiskey! I don't know what the deal is with brandy for me. It seems that no matter how much I drink, I never get that drunk!
I just learned (from second base) that my Michelob ultra , the "superior light beer", which I am currently sipping upon is not so superior compared to MGd64.
michelob ultra = 95 calories
mgd64 = 64 calories...
i feel so used :'(
SB I got soooooooooooooooo sick off of whiskey one night.... I was trying to drink neck in neck with some guys (firefighters even so they are big)....trying to show I was some tough girl or something....all 120 pounds of me...ya...I think you can pretty well imagine what happened next! I was crying over the toilet bowl barfing my brains out....whiskey is EVIL >:D

I learned how to graph line equations written in standard form on the coordinate plane.
Or, at least, that's what I hope my students learned......
Seriously, I know I am a teacher when I read this thread title and hear myself saying, "So, class, what did we learn today?"
I learned that there's so much I don't know.
I try to do or learn something new every day. I started doing that after watching Harold and Maude....love that movie. it can be something really small, but I try to do it everyday
Just as important as learning something each day, I try to face fears as much as possible. Like the sun screen song says, " Do one thing every day that scares you!"
