More Waxy dark humor: A few years ago I got a scare from what turned out to be an electrolyte deficiency. Later on, I made light of my somewhat-unsettling increased understanding of heart function and nutrition by mini-spoofing this tune Quote:

 2) Do you really want to toss away all that good potassium? Oranges/orange juice is good too...  I was reading a nostalgic article about food today, and at one point the author (jokingly?) claimed that nearly all Hungarian recipes start out by telling you to melt half a pound of butter in a pan!!! | |

And no, not butter.... those were the rich cooks, my grandma came from a modest background. But her paprikash was fingerlicking and sticking how sweet it was to all gastronomic sensor you can have.... | |

Yes he is the red type Hungarian!!!! You have the Huns - fair (Atila the Hun), Avars - red and Tatars - dark. I come from the Genghis Khan part of the family. I made some paprikash there in the US for my HHH fellow, but the onions were just like water, no taste or "strength" although they couldn't get enough I was pretty disappointed in your agriculture!

| According to this site, one tablespoon of paprika contains 158 mg of potassium, 5% of the daily value!!! WOW!!! I once read about a Peruvian shaman who visited the US. He tried some of our potatoes, and derisively called them "water potatoes" Mom does go on at times about how much better the produce tasted in Europe...There's some reason to believe I have Mongol ancestry, so maybe we're related!!! Whatever the truth of the matter, I have no aversion to Avars  Last edited by Wax Frog; 05-12-2009 at 06:51 AM. |

 Orange juice is also solid at 14% per cup. A whole banana gives 23%, according to this site, but I've read lower numbers elsewhere. [Edit: here's the list I saw years ago; it gives only 11% DV for a banana. Maybe it depends on size and variety?) I feel another split coming - see you in the health-and-fitness forum!

What sort of sound would come out of Bozo when you opened him? Little Miss Marinik Sat on a muffet tuffet Because there are no furnishings That rhyme with Marinik  Do they have tuffets in Sremska Mitrovica? Or Kuršumlijska Banja, for that matter?
