Making Z Zoup
A cup of this...a teaspoon of that...
Katharine Lee Bates wrote the words
to the classic American anthem "America The Beautiful"
after her trip to the summit of Pikes Peak in 1893.
There are professional tea tasters
as well as wine tasters.
While many people believe that a camel's humps
are used for water storage,
they are actually made up of fat.
The hump of a well-rested, well-fed camel
can weigh up to eighty pounds.
Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger bought the first Hummer
manufactured for civilian use in 1992.
The vehicle weighed in at 6,300 pounds and was 7 feet wide.
At an extravagant party during the reign of William III,
the Hon. Edward Russel, captain general of the English forces,
used the fountain in his garden as a giant punch bowl
for mixing his drinks.
The recipe included 560 gallons of brandy,
1,300 pounds of sugar,
25,000 lemons, 20 gallons of lime juice,
and 5 pounds of nutmeg.
Russel's bartender rowed about in a small boat,
filling up the punch cups for the awed guests.
The FR Canteen is ALWAYS
Come in, sit down.
Grab a cup of joe, or tasty tea.
Mingle a bit, chat with the troops
or family member.
There's always plenty of conversation,
silliness,
and plain old BS in the FR Canteen.
