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 learned that SoG and AnS are total weirdos.

Good grief! 

I was relegated to the weirdos club a long time ago.  It's an honor and a privilege!  I heart SoG and AnS!!

Yeah... I once made chocolate zucchini cookies that weren't so great either. AND my Dad said he thought they looked like turds. Srsly. I was like,  >:( >:( >:( ::) ..... ;D

I was adapting/improvising a recipe for my cookies. Only the third time I've ever made cookies, so pretty brave. The mix ended up too wet (obvious, even to a cookie novice), so I had to add heaps more flour. I assume this is what made the cookies kinda dry... but still soft and fairly edible, and - with some adjustment next time - rather tasty!

All of what I just said is what I learned, not today, but two days ago. ;) :P

I learned my budgie loves tomato.

I learned yet again that anything that can break will do so on a local holiday when everything is closed for a 3-day weekend.

I learned to check all my pockets before changing my clothes (came this close to running my electronic prescription/health service card through the wash!)
