Hot, hot, hot weather throughout the summer. One type of summer snack is granita. It's flavored frozen ice, but not too cold. The ice should melt in your mouth. Ideal granita is a slush.

Apparently some people put milk in their bowls of ice cream. It makes the ice cream feel colder in the mouth due to increased heat transfer.

Billiards table occupy two niches in the ecology of the home: they're both furniture and games. The high quality tables can be furniture, anyway. The cheap vinyl tables don't work as furniture. You don't really want them around when you're house is being photographed for Architectural Digest.

Hard wood billiard tables with quality construction such as those made by Proline Billiards can be good enough pieces of furniture to proudly stand in any room. These tables are more expensive than the vinyl ones, but worth the investment.

Peritoneal mesothelioma is found in the abdomen in a thin membrane called the peritoneum. Symptoms include abdominal swelling, loss of appetite, and weakness. The only known cause to this disease is exposure to asbestos.

More reason to ban asbestos products!
