Q: What is a cheerleader's favorite cereal? A: Cheerios!

Q: What do cats eat for breakfast? A: Mice Krispies!

Q: What do snowmen eat for breakfast? A: Frosted Flakes.

There was a drought in Rome in 496 B.C. The priests thought if they started worshiping the Greek goddess Demeter, she might help. They changed her name to Ceres from the Latin ‘crescere’ meaning ‘to grow’ which is also the root of ‘create’ and ‘increase.’ She became the protector of crops, and the caretakers of her temple became the grain dealers. A new Latin word was coined meaning ‘of Ceres’-- cerealis, which became the word cereal. Come along with Tidbits as we eat cereal!

CEREAL FACTS• Over 70 percent of the world’s croplands are planted

in cereal grains. Those grains provide 53 percent of humanity’s caloric intake. Wheat occupies 22 percent of crop lands worldwide, and provides 20 percent of calories consumed in the world.

• It’sbeenestimatedthatmorethan60%ofthepopulationof the world relies on a total of four crops, three of which are grains. Those four crops are rice, corn, soy, and wheat.

• Oatmealisricherinproteinsthanwholewheat.SamuelJohnson remarked in the dictionary he wrote that oats are “a grain which is generally given to horses but in Scotland supports the people.” A Scotsman replied, “ThatiswhyinEnglandyouhavesuchfinehorsesandinScotlandwehavesuchfinemen.”

was cooking. When he returned, the wheat was far overcooked, but money was tight and wheat was expensive so he ran the overcooked wheat through therollersanyway.Thethincrispyflakethatresultedwas the perfect formula.

• At first he called this cereal Granula, which helater changed to Granola before finally changingthe name to Corn Flakes. The cereal was a novel invention and reputedly very healthy, but it didn’t taste very good.

• JohnKellogghad a younger brother namedWill.WillKelloggwasmoreinterestedinmakingaprofitthan his brother was. When John left on an extended trip, Will did something that John had forbidden: he added a coating of sugar to the cereal. People liked John’s unsweetened cereal a little, but they loved Will’s sugary cereal. When John returned, he was

furious. Will ended up starting his own company, which he called Kellogg’s. Will Kellogg’s cereal eventually put John Kellogg’s cereal out of business. The brothers were rivals until their deaths.

• ApatientofJohnKelloggnamedCharlesW.Poststarted his own dry cereal company called Post Cereals, sellinga rivalbrandofcornflakes. JohnKellogg claimed that Charles Post stole the formula forcornflakesfromthesafeinhisoffice.

• Charles Post came out with a cereal he calledElijah’s Manna. He tried to export it to Britain but they refused to register it, feeling giving such a religious name to a food item was sacrilegious. Post changed the name to Post Toasties.

SUGARY CEREALS• In 1949 Post Cereal introduced a sugary line of

cereals such as Sugar Crisps, Krinkles, and Corn-Fetti and the kids went wild. General Mills followed suit with cereals such as Trix, Sugar Frosted Flakes, and Cocoa Puffs.

• In 1975, a dentist who was alarmed at the steepincrease in the number of cavities he was seeing in children went to the supermarket and bought 78 different kinds of cereal. He took them to his lab and measured their sugar content. One-third had sugar levels between 10 and 25%.One-thirdcontainedbetween26%and50%sugar,andtherestofthemhadsugarlevelsevenhigherthan50%.Thehighest was Super Orange Crisps which was almost 71%sugar.Notsurprisingly,thosecerealswiththehighest sugar content were brands most heavily marketed to children during Saturday morning cartoons.

•By1977acoalitionof12,000healthprofessionalsasked the Federal Trade Commission to ban the advertising of sugary foods on children’s TV shows. The petition was accompanied by a collection of 200 decayed teeth collected and donated by pediatric dentists. In 1979, the typical American child

watched more than 20,000 commercials between the ages of two and 11, and more than half of those commercials were for cereals, candy, snacks, and soft drinks.

• Asaresult,Kellogg’sSugarFrostedFlakeswasre-named Frosted Flakes; Post changed Super Sugar Crisp into Super Golden Crisp; and Sugar Smacks became Honey Smacks. Although the names changed, the sugar content did not, and nothing

changed about the fact that cereals were pitched to children on weekend daytime TV. The cereal industry uses 816 million pounds of sugar per year.

FAST FACTS ABOUT CEREAL• In 1964 both Kellogg’s and Post introduced

cereal that had freeze-dried fruit in it. The theory was that the freeze-dried fruit would absorb moisture from the milk and be reconstituted in the bowl. Unfortunately it took so long for the fruit to rehydrate that the cereal was hopelessly soggy by the time the fruit was edible.•AfterwinningtheOlympicdecathlonin 1976, Bruce Jenner was signed up to sell Wheaties. On the air, Jenner claimed he had eaten Wheaties all his life. The assistant district attorney in San Francisco brought suit against General Mills, claiming consumer fraud. They felt that Jenner hadn’t really eaten Wheaties all his life. Jenner challenged the DA to ask his mother. The suit was dropped.

• Inads, theTrixrabbit isalways trying tosneakabowl of Trix cereal, but the kids constantly take it away from him, saying “Trix is for kids!” During the 1976 presidential elections, General Mills worried that this might be teaching kids a bad thing: try as you might, you’ll never reach your goal. So they put it to the vote. By sending in box-top ballots, kids were asked to vote on whether or nottherabbitwouldgethisTrix.99%votedyes.Amidst great fanfare, the rabbit got to eat a whole bowl on the next commercial. Then, like Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist, he held out his empty bowl and asked for more— only to be told he had to wait for the next election.

• In 1972, General Mills introduced a new cerealcalled Franken Berry with pink cereal ‘berries’ in it. Unfortunately the food dye they initially used to turn the cereal pink was not absorbed by the digestive system, soparentswerealarmed tofindtheir kids having pink bowel movements, fearing internal bleeding. The formula was quickly changed and a different dye was used.

• Cheerios were originally called Cheerioats. Thename was changed in 1945.

• AmaninWashingtononcetossedcrackerstoaravenuntil the raven was full and could eat no more. The raven wanted to take more crackers to its cache, but it could pick up only one cracker at a time in its beak. By the time it got back to collect the next cracker, other critters would have stolen the rest of the food. The man was astonished to see the raven solve the dilemma by tucking the crackers side by side into a snowbank one at a time. When several crackers were lined up together, the raven was able to pick them all upatonetimeandflyoffwiththeentirebatch.

• BillandWilmaFisherraisedbirdsandhadabout30parrots. Once when they were away from home at a parrot show, one of their parrots used his beak to undo the bolts that held his cage together. When the cage collapsed, the parrot escaped. He then managed to unlatch all the other cages one at a time. When the bird sitter arrived later that day, she discovered all the birds in the middle of a parrot party.

CHICKADEE FACTS• Chickadees hide seeds in holes in trees where they

will stay safe until retrieved and eaten. One researcher wanted to test the memory of chickadees, so he arranged a forest of artificial trees. Each tree had

holes and each hole had a door which could either be open or closed. He gave his experimental chickadees some sunflower seeds to store when all the doorswere opened. He watched where they stashed the seeds, then chased the birds away. He removed all the seeds, then closed every door— whether or not it had contained seeds. This way all the holes looked and smelled the same. Then he let the birds back in. The birds invariably searched the holes where they had stashed seeds 24 hours earlier. They tore the doors off searching for their seeds and ignored the holes where they had not placed seeds.

• For his next experiment, he set out to see if theycould remember the holes they had already visited. After storing the seeds, he chased the birds out of the aviary and didn’t let them back in for 24 hours. He gave them enough time to visit half of the holes to retrieve their seeds, then chased them out again. 24 hours later he allowed them in a second time, this time with all the doors closed once again and all the remaining seeds removed. Still, the chickadees went back to each hole that had once contained seeds, but they didn’t bother going back to the holes they had visitedthepreviousday.Itseemsthatthememoryofa chickadee is very good indeed.

Q: My dad gave me a Hopalong Cassidy black and white penknife. Dad is now 85 years old and thinks he originally received it when he was about 10 or 12 years old. Does it have any value? — Matthew, Bloomingdale, Illinois

A: There were several Hopalong Cassidy knives issued, and I am not certain which one you have. According to “Hopalong Cassidy Collectibles” by Joe Caro, the black single-blade knife would sell in the $150-$225 range if in excellent condition.

• • •Q: I have been searching for several years for a catalog

about Shirley Temple dolls. I have even contacted the Bradford Exchange where some of my dolls were purchased. I did not get any help. I have several dolls from the 1980s and ‘90s that I want to find values. — Evelyn, Coventry, Rhode Island

A: I find it interesting that the Bradford Exchange would not help you since some of your dolls were purchased there.

There are at least a dozen excellent price guides for Shirley Temple items. Two I especially recommend are “Shirley Temple Dolls and Price Guide” by Suzanne Kraus-Mancuso (Holly House Books) and “The Complete Guide to Shirley

Temple Dolls and Collectibles” by Tonya Bervaldi-Camaratta (Collector Books). Both are available at www.amazon.com.

• • •Q: I have crystal, glassware and vases from the 1940s,

some earlier. I also have some embroidered handkerchiefs that were my grandmothers, a blue-flowered vegetable bowl and necklaces from the 1890s. Other items include stoneware, a teapot and gold-rimmed fruit bowls dating back 150 years. Where can I sell these items? — Virginia, Albuquerque, New Mexico

A: You are fortunate that you live in a larger city that has dozens of excellent antique and collectible dealers. This is where you should start. I always recommend to my read-ers that they buy and sell locally when possible. If that idea doesn’t work or appeal to you, there is eBay.

• • •Q: In 1938, I bought a Packard Bell tabletop radio. It is

Model 46D in a wooden case. I love the radio, and it still plays. — Steve, Jackson, Mississippi

A: Most radios of this type retail for about $100.

My first tip is to act fast, and the sooner the better. I recommend immediately contacting your state’s legal services or aid resource, if there is one, to discuss the problem. You also could find free or low-cost legal advice through the state’s bar association or perhaps at a local university.

Your local library can be a great resource, too -- you can get online for free, and the librarians can be very helpful.

Renters have fairly extensive rights in most states. A new landlord usually cannot simply walk in and demand you get rid of your pet. The existing lease typi-cally cannot be changed suddenly, either. And even if you don’t have a signed lease (some apartments are still “handshake” agreements) the landlord typically must still give reasonable notice of a change in the terms.

You also might try offering your landlord a non-refundable pet deposit. These are sometimes required in rentals that accept pets.

There’s much more information out there than I have room to write about here. But basically, you have more rights than you think. Stay calm, but immediately start contacting organizations that can help.

• It was beloved Eng-lish author and humorist P.G. Wodehouse, probably best known for his tales of Wooster and Jeeves, who made the following

observation: “Judges, as a class, display, in the matter of arranging [divorce settlements] that reckless gener-osity which is found only in men who are giving away someone else’s money.”

• Brides in ancient Rome carried sheaves of wheat, not bouquets of flowers.

• Andrew Jackson, the seventh president of the United States, had a pet parrot with a questionable vocabulary. In fact, Poll (the pet in question) was so foul-mouthed (-beaked?) that it disrupted Jackson’s funeral. According to Rev. William Menefee Norment, who presided at the service, “Before the sermon and while the crowd was gathering, a wicked parrot that was a household pet got excited and commenced swearing so loud and long as to disturb the people and had to be carried from the house.”

• The reasons why aren’t clearly understood, but it seems that people with high blood pressure rarely get cancer.

• Glass-bottom beer tankards were invented during medieval times. Evidently, some taverns were so rough that patrons felt the need to be able to see the other drinkers even when turning the mug bottoms-up.

• Those who study such things say that when you’re

sleeping, a quarter of all your blood is in your liver. • It’s pretty common knowledge that it’s the male

seahorse, not the female, that gives birth to the young. Not many people realize, though, that a male seahorse can deliver a brood of a thousand or more babies in the morning, and then be pregnant again that night.

Simplify SummerSchools are letting out, summer’s

almost here and the kids are hungry! Simplify your summer this year by planning ahead to make mealtime part of your child’s summer fun! Here are some tips for creating an easy, time-saving meal plan for summer ... or all year-round

1) Enlist your children to help plan the meals they’d like to eat. You can plan meals based on three- or six-month lists; Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter. Planning ahead will save you time and money that you can use for a fabulous family vacation!

2) Make a list of menu items based on breakfast, lunch, snacks, dinner and dessert categories. Select at least seven dishes for each category, and rotate them at least twice to ensure plenty of variety.

3) Choose some easy recipes that can be made at least 30 minutes ahead of time and/or ones that can be dou-bled and frozen.

4) Set a budget and stick to it. Shop for your ingredients based on what’s already in your pantry, fridge and freezer; what’s in season; weekly sales and farmer’s market finds. The freezer is your friend, especially when it comes to bargain buys on seasonal fruits and vegetables.

5) Let your child be the “assistant chef” for their favorite meals, and encourage them to help you with the planning and preparation. You’re not only making a great meal, you’re making precious memories.

Here are some delicious kid-friendly recipes that are perfect for summer meals!

Make Fresh PastaPasta is a favorite national food of

Italy, where it is typically cut into a variety of shapes and eaten with a sauce, in a soup or incorporated into a baked dish. But not just in Italy! Kids everywhere love pasta. No wonder it regularly appears on our family table.

Mysteriously, though, when the kids were young, they often claimed to love linguine but not spaghetti, or shells but not elbows. And no mat-ter how many times I tried to explain that it’s all the same thing, they insisted, “No! It tastes different!”

Here’s your chance to check it out when you make fresh pasta with kids. They can cut this dough into a variety of shapes right before their eyes. When it’s cooked, they’ll discover one thing is certain — eating fresh pasta (pasta fresca) opens the taste buds to something quite dif-ferent from the standard dry pasta from a package.

And if, while slurping the pasta into their mouths, you hear, “We like the squiggly shapes better!” you’ll have your answer. Maybe some forms are just a little more fun.

FRESH PASTA(Makes 2 servings)

1 cup flour1 egg1 tablespoon water

Prepare the dough:1. Mound the flour on a work surface

and make a deep “volcano” with your hands. Break the egg into the volcano. Beat the egg lightly with a fork while adding water. Continue until smooth, being careful not to break down the volcano walls.

2. Gradually incorporate flour into the egg mixture from the inside walls of the volcano. (This is a good job for kids to exercise their motor skills and patience.) Continue to stir in the flour until the dough is stiff.

3. When it is too firm to mix with the fork, knead it with your hands. Incor-porate just enough flour to make a ball. (You may not need all of the flour.) Knead the dough for a few minutes until smooth and pliable. Place the dough on a floured surface, cover and let rest for 10 minutes.Make pasta shapes:

Roll the dough out on a floured board into a very thin rectangle. The thinner the better, as the noodles will plump up when cooked. Cut lengthwise into narrow strips with a pizza cutter. Of

course, you don’t have to stick to stan-dard forms. Using a small table knife, try different “kid” shapes like wiggly lines, little triangles or stars.Cook the pasta:

1. Boil the pasta in salted water for 4-5 minutes. Drain and serve with a pasta sauce and cheese. Or, toss into a pot of simmering chicken soup and boil until cooked.

OAT MILL and OAT MEAL

• When Henry Parsons Crowell bought a small bankrupt oat mill for a few thousand dollars in the mid-1800s, he soon found that he had a major competitor whose name was Ferdinand Schumacher. Schumacher had a near monopoly on oats, having invented a better oat-milling device which allowed him to produce oats faster and cheaper than anyone else. He was ruthless in his business dealings and sent many other oat dealers out of business by undercutting their prices.

• However, Crowell discovered that Schumachersold oats only in 180-pound (82 kg) barrels, which were kept, usually without lids, in the back of stores. Crowell knew he couldn’t out produce Schumacher, so he decided to compete with him by adding new features.

• Crowell sold his oats in two pound (.9 kg)packages, advertising that his re-sealable cartons kept his oats free from dirt, disease, animals, and insects. Cooking instructions were printed on the package, as well as recipes. Crowell’s oats became thefirstfoodproductboastingafour-colorprintedcarton,anditwasthefirstproducttooffersampleminiatures.

• Crowell’swasalsothefirstbusinesstoaddanothernew feature: premiums, in which boxtops could be redeemed for dishes and kitchen items. Soon Crowell’s oat company was a food processing giant, and he eventually bought Schumacher out. By the time Crowell died in 1943, he was one of the wealthiest men in Chicago.

• His company, whose name summons images ofhonesty and integrity, still sells oats in familiar round cartons. What’s the name of Crowell’s company, now one of the largest manufacturers of breakfast foods in the world with headquarters in CedarRapids,Iowa?

Q: I was pleasantly surprised to find that I love Andrew Dice

Clay’s new comedy on Showtime called “Dice.” I especially thought that the actor who played Natasha’s brother’s husband was wonderful. Can you tell me what else I can see him in? — Tina H., Mount Dora, Florida

A: Actor and stand-up comedi-an Eugene Kim played David

on “Dice,” a thrilling experience for him because he got to meet and work with Andrew. Eugene told me: “I love Andrew Dice Clay. He’s one of those iconic comedians that you look up to and hope to meet. I had seen him at the Comedy Store, and he just brings this power when he walks in. He just has that star quality and charisma.

“As an actor, he’s extremely nurtur-ing. That is something I appreciate as an artist because you want to feel safe in your environment. And somebody who is a legend like Andrew, he could have easily been a jerk, but he was a really great person to work with.”

Eugene’s next project is the fea-ture film “Car Dogs,” which also stars Octavia Spencer, Josh Hopkins, George Lopez and Nia Vardalos. Eugene revealed: “It’s an indie film, and the plot happens over the course of one day. The main character, Mark Chamberlain — who is played by Pat-rick Adams, who is in ‘Suits’ — has a quota of 35 cars to sell by the end of the day. And he needs us, his car salesmen, to help him meet that quota. The ques-tion is will he do whatever it takes to make that happen, as far as ethics go.”

Q: Last summer I was really into David Duchovny’s new series,

“Aquarius.” Please tell me it will be back again this summer. — Tia J., via email

A: David will return to the role of LAPD detective Sam Hoidak,

who is hot on the trail of a missing girl who has taken up with Charles Man-son and his “family.” As you know, the

series is set in the late 1960s, with the action taking place before the infamous Tate-LaBianca murders. The 13-epi-sode second season returns to NBC on Thursday, June 16. Veteran actor Tim Griffin joins the series as Agent Ron Kellaher, a foil for Hoidak and hell-bent on getting him kicked off the force.

***READERS: It’s time for another epi-

sode of “Canceled or Renewed.” This time I will focus on CBS shows that have gotten the ax, whether they’ve run their course or were canceled due to low ratings. Shows we won’t be seeing this upcoming season include: “Angel From Hell,” “CSI: Cyber,” “Extant,” “The Good Wife,” “Mike and Molly,” “Person of Interest” and “Rush Hour.” Also, you won’t be seeing “Supergirl” on CBS after this season, but it hasn’t been canceled; it’s switching over to The CW, where it will be right at home with all the other superhero series.

HOLLYWOOD — Social media is changing the way younger genera-tions are viewing television and mov-ies, and traditional media is fighting back. Its weapons against pirate down-loading and binge-watching on small screens are making films bigger and in 3D. Upcoming is the epic King Kong film “Skull Island,” due March 10, and Warners already is prepping “Godzilla 2” for March 2019, and “Godzilla vs. Kong,” coming May 2020.

Television is transforming and diver-sifying itself as well. Just as reality shows changed the landscape of TV, so will some of the upcoming new series. Producer Ryan Murphy, already responsible for changing the land-scape of TV with “Glee,” “Nip/Tuck,” “American Horror Story,” “The New Normal,” “Scream Queens” and “American Crime Story,” is launch-ing a new anthology series, “Feud,” featuring famous Hollywood feuds between legendary actresses.

The first to unfold will be the infa-mous feud between Bette Davis and Joan Crawford during their 1962 classic black-and-white film, “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?” Oscar-winner Susan Sarandon will take on Bette Davis, while two-time Oscar-winner Jessica Lange will play Joan Crawford. “Baby Jane” was remade in color in 1991, with Lynn Redgrave in the Bette Davis role (as Baby Jane Hudson) and Vanessa Red-grave in the Joan Crawford role (as Blanche Hudson).

On other networks, SYFY is pro-ducing a prequel that takes us back to “Krypton” to meet Superman’s grandfather. Fox has “The Exorcist,” starring Oscar-winner Geena Davis, and a series based on the Mel Gib-son/Danny Glover franchise “Lethal Weapon,” with Damon Wayans Sr., Jordana Brewster and Kevin Rahm (late of “Madam Secretary”).

***After 13 seasons and 306 episodes,

Michael Weatherly has quit “NCIS,”

saying, “I felt I’d stayed at the party too long. I realized I had other things I should be doing. I directed a documen-tary. I have a production company, and I wanted to spend more time with my family.” Weatherly remarried in 2009 and has a daughter and a son.

***Speaking of quitting, George

Clooney’s last acting job may be “Money Monster.” Clooney, who turned 55 on May 6, said, “I think nobody wants to see anybody really age (on camera). It’s a very unfor-giving thing; aging becomes some-thing you try to do less and less on screen. You can’t stay in front of the cameras your whole life!

James Stewart made his last film, “The Magic of Lassie,” when he was 70. Morgan Freeman is still going strong at 78, and Harrison Ford at 73 is the top-grossing actor of all time. Hey, George ... whatever happened to “you’re not getting older, you’re just getting better,” or is it because your wife is only 38 years old and you can’t keep up with her?

Hey, George ... whatever happened to “you’re not getting older, you’re just getting better,” or is it because your wife is only 38 years old and you can’t keep up with her?
