Back from an inspiring weekend in NYC, gilberto presents you with some interesting things to think about as your Thanksgiving week gets under way:
- Why is Black History Month the shortest month of the year?
- Did anyone ever figure out where Carmen San Diego actually was?
- Of all the wonderful states in the US, why would Russia pick a fight with Georgia?
- Why do all men in Barcelona rock mullets with skinny sideburns?
- If a tree fell in Victory Park and no one was around (as usual)…would it still make a sound?
- Is 2Pac still alive? If so, would he be down to perform at my cousin’s Bar Mitzvah in May if all were sworn to secrecy? (I would love to see my grandma get down to “How Do You Want It”)
- Will the Dallas Mavericks ever make it out of the first round of the playoffs again?
- Wouldn’t it be cool if Malcolm X had started a title company and named it “Malcom Escrow”?
- Why does the CEO of Sprint come off as a complete pervert in that silly new black and white commercial where he is strolling around in some river-laden European city in the dead of winter?
- What is the difference between jam and jelly?
I will but help solve one piece of your puzzle:
Jelly is a clear, bright product. It is generally made by cooking fruit juice and sugar with pectin as a jelling agent and lemon juice as an acid to maintain a consistent texture. Jelly is firm and will hold its shape (it “shakes”). Generally, jelly contains no pieces of fruit, although specialty jellies, like pepper jelly, may include pieces of jalapeño or other pepper.
Jam is made from crushed or chopped fruit cooked with sugar, and often pectin and lemon juice. Jam can be a purée of fruit or have a soft pulp, but it does not contain
More importantly where the hell is Waldo??? Solve that mystery Gilberto.
