Food Trivia

Eating an early dinner, or just skipping it altogether, may increase the amount of fat a person burns at night, a study found.

Food Joke

One morning in a posh hotel breakfast room, a guest called over the head waiter. "Good morning, sir! I`d like to order two boiled eggs, one of them so undercooked that it`srunny, and the other so overcooked that it`s tough. I also want some rubbery bacon, burnt toast, and butter that`s so cold it`s impossible to spread. Finally, I`ll have a pot of extra-weak coffee, served at room temperature."The bewildered waiter almost stuttered. "Sir! We cannot serve such an awful breakfast to you here!""Why not?" the guest replied. "That`s what I got here yesterday!"
