Mukimame by
Donna Feldman Muki – what? I thought the same thing when I saw it in the
freezer section of the grocery. Basically mukimame is
shelled edamame. Edamame is soy beans in the pod, picked green.
Sort of like green beans, but soy beans. You don’t eat the pods, so
eating edamame is an adventure, stripping out the cooked bean seeds with your
teeth. Mukimame is more convenient, and easier to use in different ways.
They look a bit like lima beans, but have a nutty flavor and firmer
chewier texture. Mukimame calories are
similar to other cooked legumes: about
120 per one half cup. They’re high fiber and really high protein.
That 1/2 cup has a whopping 12 grams of protein and 6 grams of fiber.
Because it’s so high protein, serving it as a side dish to meat is a
waste. Mukimame is a great basis for a main dish, either a casserole
or salad. Steam them in the bag or
according to directions, and don’t overcook.
Chop a variety of vegetables you prefer, such as radishes, scallions,
garlic, tomatoes, green peppers, hot peppers or avocado. Mix everything
together and dress with olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Herbs that would go well are basil, oregano, cilantro
or dill. For a little extra protein
boost, add crumbled feta or goat cheese.

The Philips Autographed Collection of books is one of the treasures of West Chester (PA)
University. It includes autographied
copies of books collected by Dr. George Morris Philips during his tenure as
principal of West Chester State Normal School (1880-1920). The collection's value is not the books
themselves but the inscribed autographs, comments, and drawings that were
solicited by Dr. Philips. Thus, only the
autographed pages have been digitized.
Philips collected many books published during that time, including both
popular and scholarly books autographed by many of the most prominent authors
of the day, such as Helen Keller, Mark Twain, John Philip Sousa, and many
others. The collection passed to his
son, William Pyle Philips, who donated the Philips Autographed Library to West
Chester University in 1952. Though the
core collection was gathered from 1880-1920, through the years additional
titles have been acquired by the University.
Cheapskate is one of the numerous scornful
terms for someone who has' short arms and long pockets', that is, someone who
is reluctant to spend money or pay their fair share. They are otherwise known as misers, pikers,
scrooges, skinflints, tight-wads or penny-pinchers. No one knows the precise source of the word
'cheapskate' but we do know that it originated in the USA in the late 19th
century. Why 'skate' was chosen as a term of scornful abuse directed at mean
individuals isn't clear. It may have
been a variant of the Scottish word 'skite' or 'skeet', which refers to a
person who is regarded with contempt.
This usage is now rare in the UK but is still used in Australia and New
Zealand. The US word 'blatherskite'
refers to a person who talks interminable nonsense. 'Cheapskate' and 'blatherskite' (and, of
course, it could just as easily have been 'cheapskite' and 'blatherskate')
appear to have been formed in the same way and it seems likely that the Scots
word was the source of 'cheapskate'. https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/cheapskate.html
The "Blue Hen chicken" was designated the official state bird of Delaware
April 14, 1939. "Blue Hens" are not an officially recognized
breed; they are bred and named for the steel-blue coloring of their
feathers. All State Birds The history of Delaware's state bird starts
during the Revolutionary War, when a company of soldiers from Delaware known
for their courage acquired the nickname of "The Blue Hen's Chickens"
or "Sons of the Blue Hen."
This nickname is said to come from the fighting offspring of a
particular hen owned by their Captain, John Caldwell, that were famously good at
winning fights between roosters. These
fights, known as "cockfights" (which of course are now illegal), were
popular during the Revolutionary War era.
Over the years the "Blue Hen" became a popular symbol, used
during the Civil War, in publications, and in political campaigns. Today, the University of Delaware atheletic
teams are nicknamed "the fightin' Blue Hens" and the university
maintains a flock of "Blue Hen Chickens." These are not
descended from the original hen; they were bred from birds donated by S.
Hallock du Pont in the 1960s and more recently by the Delaware state
veterinarian Wesley Towers. https://statesymbolsusa.org/blue-hen-chicken

scapegoat noun
This term, for one who is punished for the misdeeds of others, is the
result of a mistranslation. The term was
coined in 1530 by William Tyndale, who misread the Hebrew word ‘azazel,
the proper name of Canaanite demon, as ‘ez ozel, literally the goat
that departs. To be fair to Tyndale, he
was not the only one to make this error.
The Septuagint, a Greek translation of the Old Testament, uses tragos
apopompaios, or the goat that is sent out. The Vulgate Bible refers to the second goat as
a caper emissarius, or the emissary goat. Coverdale’s 1535 Bible refers to it as
a free goat. But it was
Tyndale who coined the term scapegoat, or scapegoote as
he spelled it, literally the goat that escapes. The King James Version retains Tyndale’s scapegoat,
but most modern translations have corrected the error and refer to Azazel. It was not until the 19th century that scapegoat acquired
its current, wider sense. http://www.wordorigins.org/index.php/site/scapegoat/
Every year, Lake Superior State University comes up
with a tongue in cheek list of overused and tired expressions and words. This is the 44th year for the list. The
nominations come from word-watchers from across the U.S. who target pet peeves
from everyday speech, as well as from the news, fields of education,
technology, advertising, politics and more.
Topping this year's list is collusion. “Platform”, “yeet”, “eschew”, “crusty”,
“importantly”, and “accoutrements” made the list. It’s like “ghosting” part of the English
language. And yes, ghosting, which means cutting off other people without
notice, is also on the banned list. Steve
