Well I never!

For tonight's dinner I made salad, wholemeal pasta, tuna and dh made boiled eggs to go with it. Dh peeled the eggs and I watched him doing so as we chatted away (stay with me here) anyway, we sat down eating and chatting I looked down and my eggs had vibrant blue spots!!!!! Dh Googled and apparently red cabbage (was in the salad) can turn eggs blue!

This was all new to me at the grand old age of 45. Any fun facts you recently found out?

Edited to say it can be any fact. The title is mumsnet Ai

If you.put cheese on cream crackers and microwave.The crackers will stay room temperature and crispy but the cheese melts

Last time I tried to melt dark chocolate in the microwave, there were sparks. It looked like a firework display was going on!

Chocolate has a low water content so you have to be really careful when you microwave it.

I always thought it was like quinoa or something. Recently diagnosed coeliac and only discovered this a few weeks ago...turns out eating it most days for my lunch wasn't as healthy as I thought (for me at least) 😭

That vegetable oil and rapeseed oil are the same but one costs a lot more, so just buy vegetable oil. 🥰

If you put cheese on cream crackers then put them near me I can make them disappear!

My brain needs a rest!
The amount of times I thought I was being healthy by eating couscous instead of pasta🤦‍♀️.

Funnily enough I can do that too.

Yes I was shocked when my veggie friend told me she doesn’t eat figs for that reason.

i was told this by a fig grower its not always true but yeah certain figs

Bananas are curved to work as a natural telephone.

Marrows are just courgettes that have been left to grow bigger. I thought they were different plants!
