La Niña

The climate phenomenon known as “La Niña” occurs in years when Pacific Ocean waters off the coast of Central and South America become cooler than usual. La Niña tends to make the southwestern states drier, the southern U.S. warmer and drier, the northwest and north central states colder and snowier, and the mid-Atlantic and northeast warmer, resulting in more mixed precipitation for those folks.

Scientists believe that we could see a strong La Niña effect this winter. You can learn more about how La Niña might affect our weather at NOAA.gov.

This month: “Caesar Salad”

Caesar Salad was invented by (and named for) Caesar Cardini, an Italian immigrant to the U.S. who owned restaurants in San Diego, California and nearby Tijuana, Mexico in the 1920’s.

Legend has it that, on one especially busy day, his kitchen ran out of most food and so improvised an elaborate tableside salad-tossing preparation to fool customers into thinking they were getting something special.

Cardini’s recipe included raw egg and anchovies, but today’s standard Caesar Salad features romaine lettuce, Parmesan cheese, croutons, creamy Caesar dressing (without the raw egg) or vinaigrette, and sometimes grilled chicken. Thanks, Mr. Cardini!

REALLY Hot Chocolate!

The ancient Mayans started drinking chocolate drinks at least 1500 years ago, and they spiced up their beverage by adding ground hot peppers, as well as ground corn and various spices!

OUT COLD.

Not only do we eat more in the winter, we also tend to exercise less. Even if it’s cold where you live, you still need to be moving for a total of at least an hour a day! Some of that can happen indoors, but there’s plenty of outside activities that can keep you warm, too!

EAT BETTER. PLAY HARDER. LIVE HEALTHIER. LEARN EASIER. WELLNESS IS A WAY OF LIFE!

HAPPY 2026!
