Rudy's Food Trivia

Here is the latest Food Trivia from Rudy's. By the way, we will be in Twin Falls later this week and are planning to stop in at Rudy's. This could be fun and dangerous. Enjoy the trivia!

August 23, 1902: Fannie Merrit Farmer opened Miss Farmer's School of Cookery in Boston, Massachusetts and now you can take a cooking class right here in Twin Falls!

August 24, 1869: Cornelius Swarthout received the first U.S. patent for an electric waffle iron. Today is also National Waffle Day!

August 26, 1728: Johann Heinrich Lambert was born. He proved that pie was irrational. Oops - never mind - that was 'pi' that he proved was an irrational number.

My Note: Brother Dave, who always liked to sit in the shadow of a pyramid at high noon always said, "Pie R Round, Cornbread R Square!" Think about it, but not for long. (I will probably never be allowed back in Rudy's again.)

August 28, 1798: The first American vineyard was planted in Lexington, Kentucky.
