The spelling bee has a studpid definition: a green stronger than Gretna gree. I remember a long time ago seeing stories about elopements to Gretna Green, where formalities for marriage were less troublesome. Maybe I can find something of interest about Gretna Green.

During WWII, a commonly seen graffito was "Kilroy was here". I remember seeing an explanation that an inspector of Government purchases marked them with his name, and it was copied.

It has been a long time since I saw anybody wearing knickerbockers. They were Dutch style trousers fastened below the knee. With the name shortened to knickers, golfers used to wear them. Then there were "plus fours" which were for a while even more popular than knickers.

Kornerupine is a rare gemstone and an equally rare mineral specimen. Its claim to fame is its wonderful emerald green color. This color can be very close to that of emerald's; it has a similar but higher index of refraction and it even comes with the characteristic inclusions that is a hallmark of emerald. To distinguish kornerupine from emerald look for the pleochroic colors of kornerupine. Pleochroic means that different colors can be seen from different viewing angles. For kornerupine, the colors change from a yellowish-green to a brownish-red as the crystal or gemstone is turned with respect to the viewer. Green is not the only color of kornerupine as it comes in attractive browns, yellows and pinks.

From a site about making home brew: The brown scum that forms during fermentation and clings to the side of the fermentor is intensely bitter and if it is stirred back into the beer it will cause very astringent tastes. The scum should be removed from the beer, either by letting it cling undisturbed to the sides of an oversize fermentor, or by skimming it off the krausen, or blowing off the krausen itself from a 5 gallon carboy. I have never had any problems by simply letting it cling to the sides of the fermentor.

kugel is delicious! similiar to bread pudding, it can be sweet or savory. pieces of potoatoes, in a creammy mashed potato custard, with carmelized onions.. baked till it has a crusty top.. noodle kugel is more often sweet, with raisins, and cottage cheese, beaten till creammy instead of milk to make the custard.
noodle kugel is wonderful for breakfast. a fast food, made of noodles, cheese, raisins and other dried fruit, eggs. its neat to eat and taste good.
