I have a snack for your brain. I love little tidbits of information -- trivia, new words, interesting puzzles and puns, etc. To satisfy my brain munchies I bought a book called "Why Does Popcorn Pop" by Don Vorrhees.

My favorite brain snack so far = Carrots have only been orange for about two hundred years. According to my book, carrots originated in Afghanistan and were purple. "Through centuries of selective breeding, the color was gradually changed to white, yellow, and finally orange."

Who'd a thunk it?

Lovely new site, Mopsie! I've updated you via bloglines. Fruit and veg have distinctive properties according to their colour - I want purple carrots!
