POPSWill giant vegetables help solve world food shortage? Scientists have yet to offer a definitive explanation of why space causes the seeds to mutate but they believe that cosmic radiation, micro-gravity and magnetic fields may play a part. Mr Lo said: "After space travel the genetic sequence may change from 1,2,3,4 to 1,2,4,3 or a gene may even disappear so 1,2,3,4 becomes 1, 2, and 4. "We don't think there is any threat to human health because the genes themselves do not mutate, just their sequence changes. "With genetically-modified crops you have seen environmental problems because they have added genes that can damage other organisms. "But with space seeds they don't gain genes, they can only lose them."

POPSPumpkin Beer?! (notice the spout) First, I didn't know there was a tradition of 'crafty potheads' and second, I guess everybody wants to get in on the Culinary level nowadays when even the pumpkin is not sacred enough to NOT make beer out of! LOL

POPSWhere's My Country Dude? "Americans believed in their country, believed in each other, carved pumpkins on Halloween and worried about their sons being drafted. But they never tortured anyone--it just wouldn't occur to them-- and if the police stopped them or knocked on the door, they’d better have a damned good reason."

POPSA brief story of the first Thanksgiving
Mental Floss has a nice, brief history of the first Thanksgiving, including a few of the foods that were served at that first festival (which was three days long). There were no pumpkin pies or cranberry sauce, no sweet or white potatoes. Yes, there was turkey, but there was also venison, swans, ducks, partridges and seafood including lobsters, clams and eel. The vegetables were usually stewed: squash (including pumpkins - a new treat for the Pilgrims) onions, beans, peas and carrots. There was no sugar available, so they satisfied their sweet tooth with corn pudding and dried berries. All this was cooked primarily by the nine surviving females: four married women and five adolescent girls. Fire roasting (such as venison) was handled by the men. Water at the time could easily be contaminated, so the Pilgrims and their Native American guests drank beer and occasionally goat's milk. No cows at that time, either. There are some good links to authentic recipes and more history,
