I like to sign Christmas songs in the summer, while the amount of christmasy stuff during December is too much for me. January is a good time to stock up on price reduced sweets. What I mean to say: there is no need to limit the food you like to any particular time of the year.
My college living group used to go Christmas caroling in September, during rush week.
Mostly this was for the sheer WTF value, but we always picked up a few freshmen who decided that we were more interesting than whatever party they were at, which made it a fine rush event as well.
Today I learned that you can toast marshmallows in the oven.
By "learned", I mean "I read a recipe which included as a step toasting marshmallows in the oven". I didn't have to try it out to realize that this would obviously work. It was plain as soon as I heard the idea. And it shouldn't have needed pointing out. I know how ovens work. I am familiar with the marshmallow species of food. I love roasted marshmallows while hating them in most other forms and often occurrently lament the difficulty of arranging open flames over which one may safely toast them. I routinely try new things in the kitchen to get results I want.
And yet I read it, and was surprised. And so were the people I reported this finding to. It needed pointing out.
What other facts need pointing out, although they are plain on inspection? What is the pattern behind these facts and a good way to find more?
