Holy smokes @VaBelle35 that recipe sounds delicious!  

 

I googled Leonard Cohen.  I'm a fan who was saddened by his death, and wanted to learn more about him.

Re: What's one of the last things you "googled" or just looked up and what did you learn?

I heard a really old song playing in the locker room at the gym and googled it to find out who sang it and when. (A Thousand Stars in the Sky sung by a 15 year old Kathy Young in 1960) I was  just 11 years old, but I remembered all of the words!  I guess our brains are very impressionable at that age. Once I googled it, I was able to put the song out of my head and get on with my day. I love Google.

I googled cat losing weight but not sick.  One of my kitties is losing weight and he doesn't appear sick or in pain, still eats and is active.  He is getting old so I am concerned even though all the blood work done by the vet came back normal.

I googled asking if the new Kia SUV that we bought this year had a  spare tire  or not... many of the new cars no longer have a spare and that is a good thing to know.  I found out that our car does....

 

. then I was thinking about my 2000 venture van( almost 17 years old....) and wondering if the spare that we have never ever looked at is still viable... it probably needs to be replaced as the rubber breaks down even without use.   So next oil change I will ask the tech person to  check the spare to see if it should be replaced or not.

I Googled the difference between a frog and a toad. It turned out to be a toad that crossed our path when DH and I were on our evening walk the other day. It had prompted a discussion between us and I told him I would Google it and find out when we got home.

I read an article about a study that showed children had developed a sense of humor by age one.  It was quite interesting!
