The only cow in a small town in Poland stopped giving milk. The people did some research and found that they could buy a cow from Moscow for 2,000 rubles, or one from Minsk for 1,000 rubles. Being frugal, they bought the cow from Minsk.
The cow was wonderful. It produced lots of milk all the time, and the people were amazed and very happy. They decided to acquire a bull to mate with the cow and produce more cows like it. Then they would never have to worry about the milk supply again. They bought a bull and put it in the pasture with their beloved cow. However, whenever the bull came close to the cow, the cow would move away. No matter what approach the bull tried, the cow would move away from the bull and he could not succeed in his quest. The people were very upset and decided to ask the rabbi, who was very wise, what to do. They told the rabbi what was happening: “Whenever the bull approaches our cow, she moves away. If he approaches from the back, she moves forward. When he approaches her from the front, she backs off. An approach from the side and she just walks away to the other side.” The rabbi thought about this for a minute and asked: “Did you buy this cow from Minsk?” The people were dumbfounded. They had never mentioned where they had gotten the cow. “You are truly a wise rabbi. How did you know we got the cow from Minsk?” The rabbi answered sadly, “My wife is from Minsk.” |

FOOD & WINE’s Justin Chapple demonstrates how to truss a chicken without string.
Enjoy!
Trussing, or tying up the wings and legs of a chicken, is an important step in roasting a whole bird evenly; it ensures evenly-cooked, moist meat, and prevents anything stuffed inside from falling out. But even if you don’t have kitchen twine on hand, you can still truss a chicken using its own skin.
Food & Wine test kitchen editor Justin Chapple demonstrates the method in the video above. Basically, you’ll want to make an incision into the skin that surrounds the cavity of the chicken, tucking the opposite drumstick into the slit; you’ll then repeat the same technique on the opposite side.

A brilliant reconstitution of the last fight of Manfred Albrecht Freiherr “The Red Baron”.
Richthofen’s last flight – Cinematic Historical documentary (In game footage from the flight sim “Rise of Flight”).
The story is as factual as I can make it. The only known historical inaccuracies are:
1. Mellersh does claim a Triplane shot down that day, but it was in fact Wolff, and he didn’t “explode”, but returned home and landed safely after spinning towards the ground under Mellersh’s fire.
2. The two seaters depicted in game are not Albatros (as they should be) But DFW’s, not represented in game (yet!) The story should really have RE8’s too…
3. A few of the Jasta colours are incorrectly shown – they are “mixed and matched” to a degree to represent the “Flying Circus”.
The rest is, as it should be, as far as possible, but comments, suggestions towards the much disputed legend of Richthofen’s death are welcome! He was reported to have been pulled alive from the aircraft saying “Kaput”.. But this seems unlikely due to the nature of his wound.
Richthofen wears the Pour le Mérite, the “Blue Max”, Prussia’s highest military order, in this official portrait, c. 1917
