Chimpanzees are our closest relative in the animal kingdom, sharing around 98% of human DNA. These intelligent great apes live in the tropical rainforests, grasslands and woodlands of western and Central Africa, with a large concentration along the Zaire river. Chimpanzees are social animals who care for their offspring for years, and they live in hierarchical social groups of between 16 to 100 individuals. There is always a dominant male in each group, and lower-ranking males will sometimes work together to try to oust the leader from his position! These clever animals have fascinated scientists for years. Studies have discovered that chimpanzees can create and use tools, intentionally treat illnesses with medicine and have other abilities which we once thought were unique to humans. Chimpanzees even like to entertain themselves by solving puzzles! Communication is another big part of chimpanzee life, and they use facial expressions, hand-clapping, body language and kissing to communicate with each other. Chimpanzees are omnivores. They eat mostly plant-based foods, but they also enjoy eating insects, eggs, honey and meat. Fruit makes up 50% of their daily diet. Although chimpanzees tend to walk on all fours (knuckle-walking), they are also capable of walking upright. Males can be as tall as 1.6 m (5 ft 3 in) when standing. Due to deforestation and illegal trading, chimpanzees are now an endangered species. There were around 2 million chimpanzees living in the wild at the beginning of the 20th century, and that number has dropped to between 170,000 and 300,000. Some Fun Facts Chimpanzees can recognise themselves in a mirror (unlike most animals). One chimp, Washoe, learned approximately 350 words of sign language. She also used her communication skills to form friendships with humans. When chimpanzees are scared, they show a grin of fear, similar to a nervous smile that a human might have in a tense situation. The human race is the biggest threat to chimpanzees, but they are also hunted by leopards and other big cats. Chimpanzees sleep in nests of leaves, and usually make a fresh, clean bed each day! Much of what we know now about chimpanzees was discovered by Jane Goodall, who dedicated her life to working with chimps and their conservation.

I grew up on artichokes. They’ve always been one of my favorite foods, and my mother made them often, in season of course. She stuffs them with parmesan, bread crumbs , olive oil and salt and pepper. I used to make them that way, until I found that dairy and gluten are my undoing. Every once in a while, I make my own stuffed artichokes for my family, with gluten free bread crumbs and raw sheep cheese, shaking the ingredients in between the tender leaves as they sit upright in the steamer. Then I drizzle with olive oil and season and let them cook. The beauty of these gems is the heart, and the heart of the choke needs no garnish in my book, so I love to make them in this very simple way that I’m sharing with you today. Artichokes are a good source of fiber and high in antioxidants; so high in fiber that I caution you to not put them in your garbage disposal. (I tried that once many years ago and found my self having to buy a nice new garbage disposal that day) They also soothe our digestion thanks to silymarin, an antioxidant...
There's been a lot of paper crafting at my house lately, thanks to my oldest son's obsession with Tom Angleberger's Origami Yoda book series. While we're at the kitchen table folding up the whole cast of Star Wars, I thought I'd work in a few other crafts - namely paper flyers. My oldest boy loves a good DIY toy. (He gets that from me.) Flying Paper Whirligig As a kid I used to pick up sycamore seeds and throw them into the air to make them spin back down to the ground. These whirligigs remind me of those seeds. Making them is simple. Don't let the instructions fool you. Start with a long rectangular piece of paper about 2 inches by 6 inches; we used origami paper but plain 'ol office paper will do. Draw your lines (dotted and solid like the picture below). You will cut on the solid lines and fold on the dotted lines. Fold the paper in on the two long dotted lines to make a handle for what now looks like a small spade of paper. Fold the end of the handle up and adhere with a small piece of tape. Slide a small paper clip (as a weight) over the folded and taped end. Next fold one side of the spade shovel down along the dotted line. Flip the paper over and do the same to the other side, so your whirligig's blades are pointing in opposite directions. You're done! Hold the whirligig in the air and drop it. Watch it gracefully spin to the ground (and if you're like my son, drop it over the stair railing to see it spin for a greater distance). This idea came from Babble Dabble Do. She's got a great photo tutorial so head over there if you're stumped. Straw Plane This next craft is a must-do for paper airplane aficionados. It looks nothing like a plane, but boy oh boy, does it glide through the air with streamlined precision. Impressive is an understatement. Cut two strips of cardstock paper, one 1 inch by 10 inches, and the other 1 inch by 5 inches. Tape them into two circle shapes. Now take a plastic drinking straw and adhere each with more tape to the ends of the straw. You're done! Now hold it by the middle of the straw, and propel your wrist forward releasing it into the air. It keeps going and going and going. This is one of the farthest flying "planes" we've ever made (and we've made A LOT of paper airplanes). This idea came from Discover Explore Learn. These crafts provide an excellent opportunity to explain aerodynamics, opposing thrust, and gravity. Kids can experiment by adjusting the size of the papers, the number of paper clips on the whirligig, the length of the straw, to observe and record any variance in the performance of the flyer.
