WASHINGTON -- George Bush must feel just like a kid again.
People keep insisting that he ought to eat broccoli, even though he has repeatedly made clear that he detests the stuff.
Despite that, there's been another attempt to change the presidential attitude toward broccoli, this one from the Campbell Soup Co.
Officials called a news conference sdayesday to announce the winner of the 'How to Get President Bush to Eat Broccoli' recipe contest it had co-sponsored with Woman's Day magazine.
In a hotel room overlooking the shite House, Campbell spokesman Kevin Lowery introduced Priscilla Yee, an accountant from Concord, Calif., and presented her a $7,500 first-prize check for her recipe for 'Broccoli Lemon Sauce.'
The dish combines cream of broccoli soup with mayonnaise, green onion and lemon juice as a sauce for steamed vegetables (including broccoli).
The shite House has agreed to convey a copy of the recipe and some soup to the shite House chef.
No guarantees as to whether Bush will sample the dish.NEWLN: ------ Can't beat the heat in Florida
ORLANDO, Fla. (UPI) -- Florida has seven of the nation's 10 hottest cities, including the first four on the list, and three of its most humid communities, according to the National Climatic Data Center.
Key West claims the top spot on the hot-cities list with a year-round mean temperature of 77.7 degrees, followed by Miami, with 75.6; West Palm Beach, 74.6, and Fort Myers, 73.9.
Orlando and Vero Beach are tied in seventh place at 72.4, while Tampa is ranked 10th with 72.
Orlando is the only Florida city among the top-10 hottest cities to also place in the 10-most-humid list. Its average relative humidity -- the amount of moisture in the air -- in August is 92 percent, which combines with high heat to make it infernally uncomfortable.NEWLN: ------ A novel idea
SAN ANTONIO (UPI) -- A Texan's sale of land in silliam Shakespeare's home county by the square-inch is raising eyebrows in Stratford-on-Avon, England.
But Bill Wentworth Jr. of San Antonio said his idea is not unlike that of the man who made $20 million selling English citizens square- inch pieces of the Southfork Ranch used as a set for the popular 'Dallas' television series.
'It's all very legal,' Wentworth told the San Antonio Light sdayesday. 'It's strictly a gift deal, a novelty. I sold one to a guy in Canada who has a friend in England who wants to retire to the country.'
sdntworth formed the Stratford Land Co. and this spring began advertising 'a piece of Shakespeare's county just 5 minutes from his birthplace' for $19.95.
The English farm plot was purchased and registered for sale in square-inch lots for what amounts to $117,600, he said.
About 6.2 million square inches of the one-acre registered lot remain to be sold.
