New Feature: That's News To Me..."

I'm starting a new feature on the OBEX and our Living in Olney blog called "That's News to Me..."
Feel free to play along.

Am I the only one who didn't know that Paneras had a "Hidden Menu?" Well
apparently they have additional menu items not found on their store menus. You
can read more here:

menu.


You then go into the store and ask for the item. It seems there's a 50-50 chance
the cashier will know what you're talking about.

Me: I'd like the steak lettuce wrap (it's only 270 calories!)
Cashier #1: We don't have that
Cashier #2: Yes, we do, it's on the Hidden Menu

Well for $8.39 not exactly a bargain but it was good and low cal!

Enjoy!

Cries of Love?

I had heard about them but it wasn't until I heard the sound for myself that it all made sense. "Did anyone hear a horrible screaming sound last night?" asked the OBEX member. Well, the other morning, around 5am, I was awakened by a horrible screaming. It sounded like someone was being killed. It woke me up as well as my 14 year old daughter. "Did you hear that sound?" she asked. I immediately guessed what it was having heard about it on the OBEX. "I think it's a fox!" But could it really be? The sound was so foreign. Of course, my daughter found the fox sound on the internet and replayed it for me. She said it was the "mating cry." Oy! Good luck with that...
