A Note from Karen

Karen discussed the St. Patrick’s Day Menu for March 17-th.

Spotlight on Max Forbis:
Born in Jackson, Tennessee in mid November, Max was
named after his father, being the only son . In the summer
of 1949 he married his wife Ann.
Beth, their only daughter, has given them three wonderful
grandchildren. Max has a B.S. in Engineering from the
University of Tennessee and was one of the first NASA engineers! During WWII, Max served in the Navy.
Reading, boating, fishing and photography have been his
enjoyments. He would love to converse with you so pull up
a chair, you will be met with a smile. Max will talk to you
about almost anything.
to promote hydration. Smaller more ergonomic pitchers are on order. Mrs. Dash is now available on tabletops for residents wishing to
add flavor without sodium to their foods.
Karen asks that that the residents please do not leave personal condiments on dining tables between mealtimes. Thank you to everyone
who contributed and we look forward to seeing you all at our next
session of Food Forum Friday April 13, 2012 @ 1:15pm.

Historical Tidbit
Murfreesboro, Tn.
Founded 1811, was named for Civil War hero Colonel Hardy Murfree. By 1853, the
area was home to several colleges, earning it the name “Athens of Tennessee”.
The battle of Murfreesboro was the bloodiest battle of the war, based on percentage
of casualties. The cost to the Union Army was about 10,000 killed and wounded.
Confederate losses were about 9,000.
Mary Murfree, the great-granddaughter of Colonel Murfree, was a novelist. Paralyzed by a childhood illness she became intensely interested in books. Under her
pen-name, Charles Ebbert Craddock, she was the first to write novels about the
Southern mountaineers. She chose to publish under a man’s name because, in her
time, it was not thought proper for a lady in the South to write novels. She spent
her summers in the Cumberland Mountains where she gained material for her best
books. They include Where the Battle was Fought, The Frontiersman, and The Ordeal.
Her style was so vigorous and lively that many readers were astonished to discover
that the author was not a man, but rather a tiny, physically challenged woman. She
proved that any one could surmount their infirmities and accomplish wonderful
things.
Natural Wonders
Camels, One Hump or Two?
The dromedary camel has one hump while the Bactrian camel has two. We all know
that camels are ideal if you find yourself stranded in a desert. Arabian (dromedary) camels have one hump. These animals can store up to 80 pounds of fat which provide reserve supplies of water and energy. Basically a camel can get 100 desert miles to a fully
loaded hump, they can live without water for weeks. Camels can drink up to 30 gallons
in 13 minutes. Camels have become dehydration resistant, they get enough water by eating desert greens: they can withstand losing 25%of body fluid while other mammals fail
at 15%.
An Arabic word, Camel means beautiful and was coined about 4,000 years ago. A persons wealth could be summed up by how many camels he owned. The gorgeous double
row of sexy , long lashes serves not just for batting purposes but to keep sand and other
irritants out of their eyes. Those luscious lips give the camel an advantage so they can
pick through thorny desert flora for a quick meal on the go. A camel can shut their nostrils to keep sand out. The camel is the only mammal that has oval shaped red blood
cells. This allows blood to flow despite dehydrating conditions.
Happy Birthday!
