Now that we have all enjoyed some delicious fruits and berries of spring, it is time to move onto season two fruit! That means starting with gourds or squashes! These are not your average summer squash like zucchini and yellow crooknecks. They are much wider and longer. Some examples include but are not limited to: buttercup, acorn, snake skin, green pattypan, white cushion, gray mushoosey, and longneck. These hardshell gourds cook up more quickly than most vegetables because they contain starch. This gives them slightly sweeter flavor and makes them easier to enjoy when cooked down. However, make sure to…

We are going to do something different today. Instead of talking about how many ounces there are in an average bottle of liquid, we are going to talk about what number of bottles it would take to fill up your car with water. I have gathered some hard numbers here that tell us how much water you should drink every day! I will also include some tips as well. So let’s get into it! Disclaimer: These recommendations are for general guidelines only. They may not apply to everyone, or even the majority of people. People can be very different from…

When it comes to drinks, there are some that turn on a woman, and then there are those that do not. The best way to determine which ones are which is by thinking about what type of person you are and what types of beverages appeal to you. If you are someone who enjoys strong alcoholic beverages, then switching up your drink style or mixing it with new ingredients can be fun. If you are more into soft drinks or non-alcoholic beverages, then trying different mixes, flavors, or additions like berries or chocolate chips can inspire new looks and experiences…

In this article, we will talk about some of the most common crayfish species in the United States and what differences there are between each one. More specifically, we will discuss the lobster and the crayfish! Many people get mixed up when it comes to which type of crayfish they like more. Some say that they like both equally while others prefer one over the other. This can be tricky since not everyone is familiar with every crayfish you mentioned! Luckily for you, we have done the hard work for you by breaking down the different types of crayfish here…

Shots are usually defined as one liquid being dispersed into another, but that definition is not very practical when it comes to firearms. A much more accurate way to define a shot is to say that it’s one container of fluid separated from its neighboring containers. That means if you pull the trigger on a firearm, the first thing that happens is all of the air in your gun gets expelled out. It takes about 2-3 seconds for this to happen, which is what gives time for someone to react before the bullet leaves the barrel! Most people know how…

There are many ways to measure how much sugar you eat, but one of the most common is by looking at how much glucose or blood sugar you consume. Glucose comes from foods and beverages that have been processed down into simple sugars (carbohydrates) such as table sugar (sugar made out of pure glucose), sucrose (table sugar with an equal amount of glucose and fructose), and lactose (the main component of milk). By knowing how much glucose you consume, your body can either process it or not depending on whether you’re insulin sensitive or not. If you are more susceptible…

When you're doing your weekly grocery shopping, how many ounces of various products do you check? You might go through one bottle of shampoo every week, for example, or one roll of paper towels per wash. But what about water? We usually assume that the average person needs six (6) bottles of water to stay hydrated, so we never really think about it. However, this assumption is wrong! It's impossible to drink enough water to meet our fluid requirements if we are not drinking enough individual drinks. For example, I would be surprised to find someone who drinks two glasses…

When it comes to cream cheese, how much you use totally depends on what type of recipe you are making! There is no universal standard for how many ounces one cup of cream cheese is. One popular way to measure your cream cheese is using an ounce per layer in an average plain white bread sandwich. For example, two pieces of toast with butter and cream cheese on them equals one sandwich. So, if you have eight slices of bread, that’s enough cream cheese for two sandwiches! Another good tip — save some left over cream cheese in an airtight…

When it comes to coffee, there are two main types of beverages: strong or light. The term strong refers to either espresso or regular brewed coffee that has been added more milk or cream to make it taste better and lighter means just plain old black tea! Many people enjoy drinking both strong and light coffees but what is interesting is how different companies market their products towards each crowd. Some brands aim to be very popular with drinkers who like stronger drinks while others strive to appeal to those who prefer weaker ones. This article will talk about some…

As mentioned before, tea is one of the most popular beverages in the world. There are over 5,000 different types of tea! Some people even create their own special blends to reap the benefits they may contain. Many individuals drink tea due at least part time to health benefits. Many believe that drinking several cups a day can help keep them healthy and reduce symptoms for various conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. A few of the more well-known teas include green tea with its antioxidant properties, white tea because it is an excellent source of vitamin…
