Fact a Day #117- Today is National Ravioli Day!
Yummy!!! Today is National Ravioli Day! What a tasty surprise
A big hearty thanks to joyofkosher.com. These fun facts below and the original picture were taken from their site. They made this post possible and they gave the extra info I needed. So BIG THANKS to them and go check them out because they give some very nice recipes there as well.
Five Fun Facts:
- The earliest mention of ravioli appears in the writings of Francesco di Marco, a merchant of Venice in the 14th century.
- In India, a popular dish called Gujiya is similar to ravioli, however it is prepared sweet, with a filing of dry fruits, sugar and a mixture of sweet spices, then deep fried in vegetable oil. The dish is a popular food prepared during the Holi festival, mainly in the northern, northwestern and central parts of India.
- Typically, ravioli are boiled and served with a rich sauce, although some parts of Italy bake their ravioli in cream sauces after boiling them.
- All ravioli starts with a pasta dough, typically made by mixing egg, flour, salt, olive oil, and water. The dough is kneaded and worked to a smooth, moist consistency, and then allowed to rest while the filling is made.
- The filling is usually cooked and mixed with egg so that it stays together, and after it cools the dough is rolled out into a flat sheet to make ravioli. Small spoonfuls of dough are placed approximately half an inch (one and a half centimeters) apart before another sheet of rolled out dough is carefully placed on top. A ravioli rolling pin is rolled over the two pieces of dough and the filling, sandwiching the filling into small pockets of dough which can be gently cut apart and cooked.

Fact a Day #73
Ok so don't tell me that you all knew what i.e meant
Anyway, guess what i.e stands for
In Latin it means 'id est'
Which simply stands for "that is"
Another way to say it is
"in other words," or "it/that is."
Example: I went to my least favorite place (i.e., the dentist).
I went to my least favorite place(in other words the dentist)
Get what I'm saying....

Fact a Day #69
I decided to post not only just facts but also interesting facts or events happening around the world. After all, anything you don't know is pretty much a new fact.
So what's today interesting fact. Its Cortana
Virtual assistant technology has been a work of fantasy for many years; whilst many have tried (and ultimately failed) to deliver a human-like experience, Microsoft’s “Cortana” sounds like it may just have a chance at finally making that dream a reality.Source
What about another AI ? As many sources state, Microsoft is said to be working on a virtual assistant, code named Cortana. There's only so much I can tell here. So why don't you go ahead to the original articles itself and learn something about Cortana.
