Hanukkah Donuts
"The young State of Israel has created many of its own customs. One is serving Hanukkah sufganiyot (jelly doughnuts), which are fried in oil to symbolize the miracle of the oil that lasted eight days instead of one. This holiday tradition reflects Israel’s melding of East and West. The fritter is of Sephardic origin. But the jelly filling and sugar coating come from European immigrants who ate apricot-filled glazed doughnuts on Hanukkah. This sufganiyot recipe from Epicurious divides the work into adult and child steps."

Ghirardelli Square History
"Ghirardelli Square, now a San Francisco landmark, was built at the turn of the century as a expansion of the Ghirardelli chocolate factory. Domingo Ghirardelli, born in Italy in 1817, was lured to California from Peru by tales of the gold rush. After several ill-fated business attempts, Ghirardelli returned to his roots in the chocolate business, and found incredible success. Unfortunately, their Web site is not a virtual tour, but I found the Ghirardelli history interesting.Hershey’s Chocolate Tour Hershey’s plant in Pennsylvania, with nearly two million square feet of manufacturing space, is the largest chocolate factory in the world. Since opening in 1905, it’s hosted millions of visitors. The public tour, however, was discontinued in 1973. But today, without even leaving home, you can take the tour that made Hershey, PA "one of America’s favorite destinations." First I learned that cocoa beans, the primary ingredient of chocolate, grow only within twenty degrees of the equator. No wonder no one in my neighborhood grows their own chocolate. Continuing with sugar, almonds, peanuts and milk, you’ll learn about each ingredient and each part of the manufacturing process."

Fruit ’n’ Veg for Me
"Nothing beats fresh, cool fruit on a hot summer day. This fun Australian site is filled with interesting fruit and veggie facts, history and recipes. Did you know the peach is a member of the rose family and is related to the almond? Or that peaches are considered a symbol of immortality and friendship, and are found in Chinese paintings and porcelain dating back to 551 BC? When perusing the fruit availability calendars, keep in mind that because the Australians are south of the equator, they eat their summer fruits in November through March. Be sure to try the concentration-style Market Memory game (Shockwave required)."
