Garlic
Garlic (scientific name Allium sativum) is a species in the onion genus, "Allium". Its close relatives include the onion, shallot, leek, chive, and "Chinese onion". Garlic is native to Central Asia and northeastern Iran, and has long been a common seasoning worldwide, with a history of several thousand years of human consumption and use. It was known to Ancient Egyptians, and has been used both as a food flavoring and as a traditional medicine. "Allium sativum" is a bulbous plant. It grows up to 1.2 m (4 ft) in height. Its hardiness is USDA Zone 8. It produces hermaphrodite flowers. It is pollinated by bees and other insects.
Shallot
The shallot is a type of onion, specifically a botanical variety of the species "Allium cepa". The shallot was formerly classified as a separate species, "A. ascalonicum", a name now considered a synonym of the currently accepted name. Its close relatives include the garlic, leek, chive, and Chinese onion. Shallots probably originated in Central or Southwest Asia, travelling from there to India and the eastern Mediterranean. The name "shallot" comes from Ashkelon, an ancient Canaanite city, where people in classical Greek times believed shallots originated. Indian names for shallots include "kaanda" or "gandana" or "pyaaz" (Hindi, Marathi, Marwari and Punjabi), "gundhun" (Bengali), "cheriya ulli" or "chuvanna ulli" (Malayalam), ଉଲ୍ଲି ପିଆଜ (ulli piaja in Odia), "chinna ullipayi" (Telugu) and "chinna vengayam" (or "sambar vengayam" in the Chennai region) (Tamil).
Onion
The onion ("Allium cepa" L., from Latin "cepa" "onion"), also known as the bulb onion or common onion, is a vegetable that is the most widely cultivated species of the genus "Allium". Its close relatives include the garlic, shallot, leek, chive, and Chinese onion. This genus also contains several other species variously referred to as onions and cultivated for food, such as the Japanese bunching onion ("Allium fistulosum"), the tree onion ("A." ×"proliferum"), and the Canada onion ("Allium canadense"). The name "wild onion" is applied to a number of "Allium" species, but "A. cepa" is exclusively known from cultivation.
Scallion
Scallions ( green onion, spring onion and salad onion) are vegetables of various "Allium" onion species. Scallions have a milder taste than most onions. Their close relatives include the garlic, shallot, leek, chive, and Chinese onion. Although the bulbs of many "Allium" species are used as food, the defining characteristic of scallion species is that they lack a fully developed bulb. In common with all "Allium" species, scallions have hollow, tubular green leaves, growing directly from the bulb. These leaves are used as a vegetable; they are eaten either raw or cooked. The leaves are often chopped into other dishes, in the manner of onions or garlic.
Food and drink prohibitions
Some people abstain from consuming various foods and beverages in conformity with various religious, cultural, legal or other societal prohibitions. Many of these prohibitions constitute taboos. Many food taboos and other prohibitions forbid the meat of a particular animal, including mammals, rodents, reptiles, amphibians, fish, molluscs, crustaceans and insects, which may relate to a disgust response being more often associated with meats than plant-based foods. Some prohibitions are specific to a particular part or excretion of an animal, while others forgo the consumption of plants or fungi.
Indonesian cuisine
Indonesian cuisine is one of the most vibrant and colourful cuisines in the world, full of intense flavour. It is eclectic and diverse, in part because Indonesia is composed of approximately 6,000 populated islands of the total 17,508 in the world's largest archipelago, with more than 300 ethnic groups calling Indonesia home. Many regional cuisines exist, often based upon indigenous culture and foreign influences. Indonesia has around 5,350 traditional recipes, with 30 of them considered the most important. Indonesia's cuisine may include rice, noodle and soup dishes in modest local eateries to street-side snacks and top-dollar plates.
Bengali cuisine
Bengali cuisine is a culinary style originating in Bengal, a region in the eastern part of the Indian subcontinent, which is now divided between Bangladesh and the West Bengal state of India. Other regions, such as Tripura, and the Barak Valley region of Assam (in India) also have large native Bengali populations and share this cuisine. With an emphasis on fish, vegetables and lentils are served with rice as a staple diet. Bengali cuisine is known for its subtle (yet sometimes fiery) flavours, and its spread of confectioneries and desserts. It also has the only traditionally developed multi-course tradition from the subcontinent that is analogous in structure to the modern "service à la russe" style of French cuisine, with food served course-wise rather than all at once.

Mirrors in Mesoamerican culture
The use of mirrors in Mesoamerican culture was associated with the idea that they served as portals to a realm that could be seen but not interacted with. Mirrors in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica were fashioned from stone and served a number of uses, from the decorative to the divinatory. An ancient tradition among many Mesoamerican cultures was the practice of divination using the surface of a bowl of water as a mirror. At the time of the Spanish conquest this form of divination was still practiced among the Maya, Aztecs and Purépecha. In Mesoamerican art, mirrors are frequently associated with pools of liquid; this liquid was likely to have been water.

Cordyline australis
Cordyline australis, commonly known as the cabbage tree, cabbage-palm or , is a widely branched monocot tree endemic to New Zealand. It grows up to tall with a stout trunk and sword-like leaves, which are clustered at the tips of the branches and can be up to long. With its tall, straight trunk and dense, rounded heads, "C. australis" is a characteristic feature of the New Zealand landscape. Its fruit is a favourite food source for the New Zealand pigeon and other native birds.

Colocasia esculenta
Colocasia esculenta is a tropical plant grown primarily for its edible corms, the root vegetables most commonly known as taro. It is believed to be one of the earliest cultivated plants. Linnaeus originally described two species which are now known as "Colocasia esculenta" and "Colocasia antiquorum" of the cultivated plants that are known by many names including eddoes, dasheen, taro and madumbi, but many later botanists consider them all to be members of a single, very variable species, the correct name for which is "Colocasia esculenta". Taro () commonly refers to the plant "Colocasia esculenta", the most widely cultivated species of several plants in the Araceae family which are used as vegetables for their corms, leaves, and petioles.

List of VeggieTales characters
This is a list of characters that appear in the animated series VeggieTales. Bob the Tomato (introduced 1992) is usually the "straight man" in his partnership with Larry the Cucumber, as they introduce many of the stories at the beginning and wrap-up the Biblical lesson at the end of most of the shows. He also plays many character roles in the story segments, some of which are in contrast to his more mature persona, which Phil Vischer called "my inner Mr. Rogers". He first appeared in 1993 in Big Idea's first video, "Where's God When I'm S-Scared?". In it, he and Larry set the opening format which has largely become a "VeggieTales" standard, where a letter is read from a viewer by the duo on a kitchen counter (which serves as a sort of stage).
Blues
Blues is a music genre and musical form originated by African Americans in the Deep South of the United States around the end of the 19th century.

Blues incorporated spirituals, work songs, field hollers, shouts, chants, and rhymed simple narrative ballads. The blues form, ubiquitous in jazz, rhythm and blues and rock and roll, is characterized by the call-and-response pattern, the blues scale and specific chord progressions, of which the twelve-bar blues is the most common.

RV Fridge
Recreational vehicles (RVs) are designed to be self-sufficient, making an on-board refrigerator a highly desirable appliance. However, RVs are subject to conditions that make the design of their refrigerators quite challenging. The main issues are vibrations, accelerations, the energy required to drive the refrigeration process, and the often off-level attitude of the vehicle, especially while in transit. An absorption-type refrigerator overcomes most of these design challenges, and therefore has been popular in RVs since the 1950s. Following is a block diagram and a simplified drawing of a typical absorption type RV Fridge.
