Lakes absorb carbon dioxide; sometimes lots of it. Other times CO2 finds it way beneath a lake bed through underground streams or fissures. Something needs to happen to force the carbon (dissolved or otherwise) to the surface. In science, it's called a limnic eruption. It's a rare event usually caused by landslides or earthquakes in which the CO2 suddenly erupts from deep lake waters and forms a gas cloud that settles around the lake and asphyxiates anything in the area. Crater lakes are especially susceptible because of prior volcanic activity, and their enclosed nature makes it really dangerous if it happens. Africa is no stranger to this. Here's an old Smithsonian article on Lake Nyos in Cameroon where one the most famous eruptions took place:
I have, buried away somewhere, a very old VHS of the first Star Wars aka Episode IV. In it, there are at least two scenes - when Obi Wan first comes upon R2-D2 hiding, and again at the destroyed Sandcrawler, where you can see Kenny Baker's face behind that little portal on the front of R2's dome.
Interesting read. I just picked up a box of honey grahams to make a crust for some lemon bars and a light Easter desert. The Reverend Doctor Graham and I are pretty much polar opposites with regard to lifestyle but I can make one observation: There are store brand graham crackers and Nabisco Honey Grahams. The store brands are true to Graham's vision.
The concept of a “dessert sandwich” is something he hadn’t really considered before.
Seriously? Guess he had never had an ice cream sandwich. Or perhaps made some oversize chocolate chip cookies (baked with margarine for chewiness), then slapped some vanilla ice cream between a couple. There are of course, many variations. . .
A word on the humble tomato sandwich. There's nothing better than a couple slices of fresh tomato between two slices of untoasted white bread with mayo, salt, and pepper. That's it - done. It's so good as is, but like the simple grilled cheese, people want to improve on it and start messing around by changing it up or adding things. Then it becomes something else and no longer what it was intended to be. Just stop messing around and keep it simple.
I'm in on this but. . . I researched some, a lot actually (big rabbit hole) and I think I'll be changing up the recipe.
Most others that I found have you cook the sugar mixture to 250D or as high as 260D.
You don't need cream of tartar. It's purpose is to prevent the sugar from crystalizing which is what lemon juice or citric acid will do. Adding it to the cornstarch mixture does nothing.
You've got to be careful with the stirring. Too vigorous and the starches break down which prohibit gelling.
An Indigenous People's History of the United States - Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz I am not an expert either but my personal library has over thirty books covering the history of the American Indian Tribes. Biographies of the major players, multiple in some cases, along with histories of major events, battles, and massacres - The Trail of Tears, The Long March, Custer, Sitting Bull, Cochise, Geronimo, Red Cloud, The Osage - It's fair to say I'm well read.
If one is looking for an objective point of view as told by the Indian side, this isn't it. Dunbar-Ortiz is much too casual with the word genocide. She writes from the view that colonization by itself is an act of genocide and it's all downhill from there. A brief overview of the remarkable state structure of the Iroquois Confederacy, but no mention that to get there, they destroyed the Mohicans, Huron, Neutral, Erie, Susquehannock, and northern Algonquins, with brutality many historians have labeled genocide. The founding of Jamestown is the Roots of Genocide; a second sub-chapter: Settler-Parasites Create The Virginia Colony.
This history is nothing more than a biased diatribe against white America.
The 'shopkeeper' in the article who tried to get a federal holiday for Lincoln was from Buffalo, NY, which had long observed both Lincoln's and Washington's birthdays as holidays. As did several states. When Congress made the change, we all lost a day off from school - Boo! It was presented to us younglings as combining both birthdays into one. The confusion won't go away until we all die off.

Pretty sure it's that one - I've got a lot of open tabs here. . .
