Whopper hamburger, is able to be customized in 200,000 unique variations. Have it your way!

1964: The first TV special of
“Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” airs on NBC. The classic character, “the most famous reindeer of all,” shines bright during the holiday season.

1973: The Endangered Species Act is made official, establishing protection for fish, wildlife and plants that are

Get healthy, get a dog: Benefits of Pets

Month's Celebrations

Seniors pets Alpharetta GA

Ongoing research is showing that the health benefits of owning a dog are undeniable. Dog owners have
lower blood pressure and  healthier cholesterol levels,
and a lower risk of heart disease, than non -owners.

Walk and Talk

Walking is a convenient, low
intensity activity that can improve or maintain your overall health. Follow the talk test to gauge how hard you’re working.

If you can comfortably talk while walking, then you are successfully completing a moderate workout.

But if you’re able to sing, then you should up your pace.

Recipe Spotlight:

Twice Baked Breakfast Potatoes

Twice Baked Potatoes

Ingredients:

2 medium russet potatoes, scrubbed and pricked
with a fork all over
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons heavy cream
4 sliced cooked thick cut bacon
4 medium eggs
½ cup shredded cheddar thinly sliced chives
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 400˚F.
  • Place potatoes directly on oven rack in the center of the
    oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until potatoes are
    tender through the center.
  • Remove and allow potatoes to cool for about 15 minutes.
  • Slice each potato in half lengthwise and hollow each half
    out, scooping the potato flesh into a mixing bowl.
  • Turn each potato half over and carefully slice the bottoms
    with a knife (making sure not to slice through the hollowed
    centers) so each potato is level.
  • Add butter and cream to the potato and mash together until
    smooth. Season with salt and pepper and stir together.
  • Spread 1 tablespoon of potato mixture into the bottom of
    each hollowed potato skin and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon
    cheese (you may have some remaining mashed potato left
    to nibble on).
  • Add 1 slice of bacon to each half and top with a raw egg.
  • Place potatoes onto a baking sheet and return to the oven.
  • Lower oven temperature to 375˚F and bake potatoes until
    egg whites just set and yolks are still runny, 18 to 24
    minutes.
  • Top each potato with a sprinkle of the remaining cheese,
    season with salt and pepper and finish with sliced chives.

Memorably Melody

Dean Martin Let it Snow

Would you believe that this classic carol about a frightful blizzard was written during a summer heat wave? Well, believe it! That’s exactly how “Let It Snow” came to be in July 1945, when musicians Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne were motivated by record high temperatures to write a song that would cool them down.
