Fun with Club

Soda and Baked Beans

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.
