Guest guest Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Fun with Club Soda and Baked Beans by Chet Day Today's offering isn't like the usual daily health tip, but I think you'll have some fun with the info, and you can't be healthy if you don't have a little fun once in a while, right? Did you know you can make fluffy pancakes, waffles, and matzah balls if you substitute club soda for the liquid normally used in the recipes? Wanna make a poor man's lava lamp? Fill a glass with club soda and drop in a couple of raisins. The carbonation will cause the raisins to repeatedly bob to the surface and then sink again. Never drink soft drinks because they're full of sugar and additives and Lord knows what else. If you miss soft drinks, try adding a little club soda to freshly squeezed or extracted fruit juice for a low-cost and healthier beverage. Finally, a tip from my childhood when we were very poor. We never could afford bubble bath solution, so Ma used to serve a big pot of baked beans for Saturday evening dinner. That way we children had Saturday night bubble baths every week of the year, just like the Vanderbilts. -- Diana Gonzalez Nothing wastes more energy than worrying - the longer a problem is carried, the heavier it gets.
