POPS3,000-year-old oak barrel of butter found in Kildare bog
more (at source): The barrel is also split along the middle, which is common with utensils filled with butter found in the bogs. A conservator at the National Museum, Carol Smith, told that the butter expands over time, causing the split. The barrel is about three feet long and almost a foot wide, and weighs almost 35kgs, (77lbs). The butter has changed to white and is now adipocere, which is essentially animal fat, the same sort of substance that is found on well-preserved bodies of people or animals found in the bog. The two men put the barrel in the cab of their tractor and brought it back to their base. "We put it in a black plastic bag," Mr Fitzharris explained. And last Tuesday in the Conservation Department of the National Museum of Ireland in Collins Barracks, the two men were reunited with the barrel in the company of Monasterevin man and one of the museum's keepers, Pádraig Clancy and conservator Carol Smith. Mr Clancy was contacted by Bord na Móna's archaeo

POPS"I've seen the future and it's made of mushrooms" more: The inventors have started a company called Ecovative Design to market the technology, and I think they’re really onto something. Just imagine if they’re able to form this product into low-cost, biodegradable auto body panels and other automotive components. Or counter tops. Or flooring. They could even conceivably figure out a way to make children’s toys out of the material. For my sake, I hope they stop short of making dishes and kitchen utensils out of them, though. I don’t eat ANYTHING that touches mushrooms. Blech.

POPSMagnet woman holds any types of cooking outfit on her body “I was working as the head of the canteen at the local plant in Taganrog. Someone forgot to turn the water off one day in the meat shop of the plant. There were electric wires there all over the place. I used a wooden stick to stop the water, but I stepped into a pool on the floor. I suffered from the electric shock, but I was lucky to stay alive. They told me later that I had had 160 volts running through my body. It was supposed to be a fatal accident, but I had the third degree of disablement only,” Elena said. The woman suffered a similar incident in her childhood. When she was five years old, she fell into the dumb well of a toilet. A janitor rescued the girl as she was clinging to the edge of the toilet floor. “I remember adults telling that the incident was a token of my future wealth. It never worked out in the end, but I began to foresee the future. I predicted my mother’s death – she died from lung cancer,” Elena said.

POPSHow to germ-proof your home, without going overboard As it turns out, Eichenbaum did not find anything to be too concerned about in the Austin home. There were bacteria almost everywhere, but they were mostly the benign kind found in a normal environment. While most of these microorganisms are commonly found in or on our body, some that were found on the Austins' floor can produce disease -- such as shigella, staphylococcus pneumonia, or staphylococcus aureus -- if they are inhaled, ingested or touch skin breaks, Eichenbaum said. Still, nobody has gotten sick. She offered tips on maintaining a healthy home, while not overdoing it. Having some bacteria is actually a good thing, experts say.

POPSReally useful (but not expensive) kitchen gifts they'll truly appreciate A few notes: An oven thermometer doesn't make your oven more functional, it makes it functional . The Perfex pepper mill is a bit pricey, but literally heirloom-quality – I inherited mine from my mother, almost 15 years ago, and she'd had it for as long as I can remember. A Dutch oven is really useful for a variety of things; the monkey and I have a small, 2-quart version that works nicely for the two of us. The Benriner mandoline is a kitchen delight, and can be found for as little as $15 at many Asian grocery stores. Microplane zesters and graters are a pleasure to use. And I'd recommend bamboo spoons over wooden, myownself. Didn't clip the tiffin box because I think the choice of how to carry one's lunch is strongly determined by individual taste, and it's a mistake to try to guess what somebody else will like. (I wouldn't like or use a tiffin box, f'rinstance.)

POPSrecipe: Leftover Brown Rice Bites with Indian flavors A few vocab translations: dhaniya is coriander/cilantro. Besan is chickpea flour – dried garbanzos ground into fine powder. Ghee is (basically) clarified butter. And curry leaves or kari leaves are the leaves of the Murraya koenigii or sweet neem tree, and one of the secret, impossible-to-duplicate flavors in Indian cooking.
