Cheesy, oozy guacamole bean dip

Reminder: this recipe doesn’t belong in the superhero family, but it’s loads better than what you usually find in party dips.

Diners who merely flit over the menu at the Specktakel restaurant in the Netherlands are sometimes shocked when their plate arrives.

Healthy, Nutritious Food Would Have Saved The Titanic One hundred years ago this Sunday, the legendary Titanic went down in the icy waters of the North Atlantic, tragically claiming the lives of more than 1,500 passengers and crew members. And as the world pauses this week to remember the historic disaster, it's important to reflect on how easily this catastrophe could have been avoided with a healthy, nutritious diet rich in fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Back in its time, the RMS Titanic was the biggest and grandest ship that had ever been built, complete with a vast lending library, a Turkish bath, opulent dining halls, and even gold-plated light fixtures.
