In case you ever wondered . . .
You cannot make cheese out of breast milk. This lady tried because she had a lot of breast milk that was about to expire.
So why can’t you make make cheese out of breast milk?
It turned out that breast milk can not curdle, because the protein content is lower, and because the protein in breast milk is more easily digested compared to cow’s milk. That’s why, unmodified cow’s milk is unsuitable for babies. And on the other hand, adding acid to further ‘digest’ breastmilk protein won’t curdle the milk.
FineWater.com
A site where you can read, discuss, and buy fine waters of the world.
This is called Tasmanian Rain.
TASMANIAN RAIN is rainwater is captured on the pristine north west coast of the island of Tasmania, Australia. The water is collected just minutes of where the World Meteorological Organization records the world’s purest air. The rain, has traveled eastward via air currents over Antarctica and 10,000 miles of ocean. As a result, TASMANIAN RAIN contains only 17 parts per million of dissolved solids.
TASMANIAN RAIN is collected by a custom-designed catchment facility, and never touches the ground.
TASMANIAN RAIN is bottled in glass in order to protect the product purity, because glass is completely recyclable, and because of how it looks on the fine dining table.
A case of 12 bottles of Tasmanian Rain will cost you $59.
Bible Park USA even opposed by some Christians
A new $150-200 million Bible Theme Park is planned near Nashville. The only other comparable park in the U.S. is the Holy Land Experience in Orlando which is only 15 acres.
There’s nothing like the frustration of increased traffic and property values to get things stirred up.
Medical examiner: Sports cream caused teen’s death
NEW YORK (AP) — A medical examiner blamed a 17-year-old track star’s death on the use of too much muscle cream, the kind used to soothe aching legs after exercise.
Arielle Newman, a cross-country runner at Notre Dame Academy on Staten Island, died after her body absorbed high levels of methyl salicylate, an anti-inflammatory found in sports creams such as Bengay and Icy Hot, the New York City medical examiner said Friday.
The medical examiner’s spokeswoman, Ellen Borakove, said the teen used “topical medication to excess.” She said it was the first time that her office had reported a death from using a sports cream.
German soldier may have accounted for about 3,000 American casualties, almost three-quarters of all the US losses at Omaha.
FOR Hein Severloh the ‘Longest Day’ meant nine hours constantly machine-gunning American soldiers as they attempted to land on Omaha Beach.
One image still brings tears to his eyes. A young American had run from his landing craft and sought cover behind a concrete block. Severloh, then a young lance-corporal in the German army in Normandy, aimed his rifle at the GI. He fired and hit the enemy square in the forehead. The American’s helmet flew away and rolled into the sea, his chin sank to his chest and he collapsed dead on the beach.
Tormented by the memory, Severloh now weeps at the thought of the unknown soldier’s death.
Severloh was safe in an almost impregnable concrete bunker overlooking the beach. He had an unimpeded view of the oncoming Allied forces. He was the last German soldier firing, and may have accounted for about 3,000 American casualties, almost three-quarters of all the US losses at Omaha. The Americans came to know him as the Beast of Omaha.
