Happy Fun Fact Friday! I had the most wonderful, GIANT margarita earlier, so I am going to keep this brief.

Mostly because I keep misspelling words.

(don’t worry, I’m writing this Thursday night, not Friday morning 😉 )

#1

In case you were wondering, Congo bars are not an authentic Congolese dessert. If they were, you can bet I would have made a batch (or three).

#2

There’s a big, crazy-looking fish that lives in the deep waters near the Comoros islands. Its called the coelacanth and everyone (mainly important scientist-types) thought it had been extinct for millions and millions of years. Nope. Imagine being the person to discover it, just hanging out, swimming around Comoros, not dead.

#3

If you’re thinking about eating the coelacanth, forget it.  Their flesh is loaded up with an unpalatable, rancid tasting oil.

#4

Since you can’t eat the coelacanth, you might as well chow down on some vanilla, ylang-ylang oil, and cloves. That’s what they grow in Comoros.

#5

I’ll take another margarita. Shaken, not stirred. Extra salt. And with a couple of olives (olives???) … I know! Sacrilege. But that’s how they served it at Charleston’s and I’m in love. That’s how I’m going to get all my margarita’s from now on.
