• Today in History - 1967

    23 July 1967 - THE 12TH STREET RIOT BEGINS IN DETROIT: Tensions between
    African American residents and the police flare in Detroit, Michigan,
    during an early morning raid on a nightclub. Before the riot ends five
    days later, 43 people will be killed, more than 300 injured, some 1,400 buildings burned, and more than 7,000 people will be arrested.

    The precipitating event was a police raid of an unlicensed, after-hours
    bar, known as a blind pig, on the city's Near West Side. It exploded
    into one of the deadliest and most destructive social insurgences in
    American history, lasting five days and surpassing the scale of
    Detroit's 1943 race riot 24 years earlier.

    Governor George W. Romney ordered the Michigan Army National Guard into
    Detroit to help end the disturbance. President Lyndon B. Johnson sent in
    the United States Army's 82nd and 101st Airborne divisions. The riot
    resulted in 43 deaths, 1,189 injured, over 7,200 arrests, and more than
    400 buildings destroyed.

    Title: Detroit-Style Roquefort Burgers
    Categories: Beef, Cheese, Breads, Vegetables
    Yield: 4 Sandwiches

    1 lb Ground beef
    1/2 ts Worcestershire sauce
    1 ts Dried parsley
    Salt & black pepper
    1 c Roquefort or other bleu
    - cheese; crumbled
    4 Kaiser rolls, split, heated
    4 sl Onion
    4 Lettuce leaves
    4 sl Tomato

    Heat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil
    the grate.

    Mix together the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce,
    parsley, and salt and pepper in a bowl, and divide the
    mixture into 4 portions. Make each portion into a ball,
    and form a pocket in each ball. Stuff the balls with
    about 1/4 cup crumbled Roquefort cheese, and gently pat
    and flatten each ball into a bun-sized burger.

    Grill the burgers until no longer pink in the middle,
    the cheese is melted, and the burgers show nice grill
    marks, 7 to 8 minutes per side.

    Serve burgers in heated kaiser rolls, with sliced onion,
    lettuce, and tomato on the side.

    23 July 1967 - WORLD'S FIRST IVF BABY BORN: England's Lesley and John
    Brown welcome Louise Joy, their newborn daughter and the world's first
    child conceived with the help of what will later be called 'in vitro fertilization,' or IVF. Although the press dubs Louise a 'test-tube
    baby,' she was in fact conceived in a petri dish.

    Louise Joy Brown (born 25 July 1978) is an English woman who was the
    first human to have been born after conception by in vitro fertilisation experiment (IVF). Her birth, following a procedure pioneered in Britain,
    has been lauded among "the most remarkable medical breakthroughs of the
    20th Century."

    Title: Petri Dish Jello Shots
    Categories: Five, Booze, Novelty, Dairy
    Yield: 20 Shots

    9 oz (3 boxes) Jello gelatin
    1 1/2 c Vodka
    1/4 oz Env unflavored gelatin
    2 tb Sour cream
    Decorating gels (like Dec-A-
    - Cake Writing Gel)

    Toss your bottle of vodka in the freezer, ice cold works
    best.

    Choose some nice contrasting Jello colors for maximum
    effect. Pour each packet of jello into a separate bowl.

    Boil 3 cups of water and pour 3/4 cup of boiling water
    into each bowl.

    Stir vigorously until all powder is dissolved.

    Add 1/2 cup cold water/cold vodka mixture. (The ratio is
    up to you, but together they should total 1/2 cup.) I
    usually do 1/4 vodka and a 1/4 water and they are very
    firm when done, so you can certainly increase the vodka,
    if you wish. Just remember the more vodka, the softer
    the end product.

    Pour into dishes (there is a line around the dish that
    you don't want to fill past).

    Place in the fridge for 1 hour with the lids off.

    Make your microorganisms: Pour 1/4 cup water into a
    small microwave safe dish.

    Sprinkle the gelatin packet (I use Knox) over the water
    and allow it to absorb for 5 minutes.

    Microwave for 20-25 seconds to dissolve gelatin.

    Stir in the sour cream, mix until smooth.

    Pour mixture into a ziploc and allow to cool, kneading
    from time to time.

    Mixture should be cool, but still runny. If it's getting
    to solid just pop it back in the microwave for a few
    seconds.

    Cut a corner of the bag and drip gooey "bacteria" and
    "fungus" onto your culture dishes.

    Top the biggest cultures with some contrasting
    decorating gel.

    Put back in the fridge for another 15 minutes.

    NOTE: you can buy Petri Dishes w/lid from Amazon for
    U$12.99 per sleeve of 90mm dishes
