Aloha! That’s Polish for “Holy crap, it’s Tidbit Tuesday!”
THEY’RE MINI TURKEY BURGERS!!!
Thanksgiving is on Thursday. It’s a day for us to eat all the green bean casserole and take all the naps and have all the family fights. Those things are, of course, essential to a proper Thanksgiving, but the real star of the day is our tricky friend, the turkey.
Ooooooh so fiiiiine.

Wut wuuuuuut it’s time for another Tidbit Tuesday!
I had a discussion the other day with my coworkers about how we trick-or-treated. There was talk of plastic orange pumpkins, shopping bags, and pillowcases (my weapon of choice). One girl even used a McDonald’s Happy Meal box. Then we talked about how awesome candy is and everyone should eat candy all the time and then not get obese and die.

But why do we trick-or-treat for candy on Halloween? Where did that tradition start? When did it start? Why candy?
Because CANDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.
Well, it started in America. To understand why it started we need to talk a little about the beginning of Halloween in North America. Very, very briefly.

Well, hello! It’s Tidbit Tuesday!
Today’s Tidbit is a short but thematically correct one. It’s a Halloween menu published in the Fort Wayne Sentinel on October 29, 1906.

Today I’ll be unrolling a new feature that should keep things interesting. For me and you.
Tidbit Tuesday!
See? It’s a tasty tidbit.
Alliteration!
Every Tuesday I’m going to throw a food tidbit up on this here blog. It could come from something from the interwebz, something from a book, or something I was told by another human bean.
I thought it would keep things interesting. And besides, sometimes you don’t want to read a whole post. Sometimes you just wanna know what fresh pistachios look like.
They’re wrapped in those thingies and they’re red.
And that’s what pistachios look like when they’re raw. You’re welcome.
Anyway, today’s Tidbit (yup, it’s capitalized) will be a revelation to some and old news to others. It’s about our buddy Columbus, the guy we just celebrated for “discovering” the Americas.
He looks tired to me. Bags under the eyes.
