See-Through Cheese

Did you ever wonder, why Swiss cheese is full of holes? A bacteria culture used to make cheeses like Emmentaler, releases carbon dioxide gas while the cheese is still soft. The bubbles leave holes when it hardens. For Swiss Cheese Day, sample some cheeses from Switzerland. Swiss people eat around 48 pounds of cheese-per-year!

Introverts Need a Break

Snowy Owl Takes the Scenic Route

Birdwatchers in Southern California, got a rare treat last week. A snowy owl visited Orange County, for the first time in more than 100 years. The big white owl may have gotten confused by blizzards during its winter migration, which should have taken it to Minnesota. It’s a long way off course!

Happy New Year!

Happy 20 23! Did you stay up until midnight, to welcome in the new year? I hope you slept in late, so you can start the year well-rested. Make a New Year’s resolution, by promising yourself you’re going to do something, or not do something. Can you keep your promise until next year? Good luck!
