A is for Apple Pie

I love a slice of apple pie. And, apparently, so do the people in the US State of Vermont.

Vermont went and designated apple pie as the official state pie in 1999 (and the same Act also designates apple as the official state fruit of Vermont).

The legislation also went on to specify that;

"When serving apple pie in Vermont, a "good faith" effort shall be made to meet one or more of the following conditions:

(a) with a glass of cold milk,
(b) with a slice of cheddar cheese weighing a minimum of 1/2 ounce,
(c) with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream."

The legislation can be found here.

A-Z: Fascinating Facts

It's coming up to the month of August once again, and as usual I am setting myself a challenge to blog every day for 26 days solid - right through the alphabet on one particular theme. There's been a number of changes in my life over the last eighteen months - some good, some not so good - and therefore blogging has taken a bit of a back seat for a while. However, I'm keen to 'rise to the challenge'...

This year I've come up with a list of fascinating facts, all of which have resonated with me when I read them; all have a particular meaning to me.  I hope you find this strange list of facts interesting. I've taken the time to double-check all of these, have done my best to ensure no dodgy information or 'fake news' here...

Have a good August, catch you on the other side.
