Fact of the Day (Reader's Digest): The popular pastries known as "danishes" are actually from Austria, not Denmark. During the mid-1800s, a bakery strike caused Danish companies to hire Austrian bakers, and the foreign bakers brought the recipe for danishes with them. While the pastries are globally known as danishes, they are called wienerbrød in Denmark -- which means Vienna bread -- to honor the Austrian bakers who brought the famous pastry with them.
Quote of the Day: Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.
