In the same way that ponchos and bell bottoms have all but disappeared from our modern lives, certain foods of the 1960s are tough to find. Sure, you may come across the occasional Jell-O mold in an Iowa church basement somewhere, and you might even find a Grasshopper pie on a random restaurant menu. But, in general, the foods on this list have fallen out of favor. It’s not that they were bad; it’s just that times have changed.

1 week ago | mindfullyamerican.com | Lauren Sakiyama

Younger Wisconsin residents may call them “granny hobbies,” but we think they deserve a better name. Old-school entertainment needs to make a comeback, not just because vintage is in, but because outdated hobbies could be what saves our sanity. In our constantly connected world, it’s nice to pick up a hobby that forces us to disengage from our ever-present to-do list.
15 Bizarre Canandian Laws That Leave Texans Scratching Their Heads

1 week ago | mindfullyamerican.com | Lauren Sakiyama

Every country has its quirks, and Canada is no exception. From rules about witchcraft to tree climbing, the Great White North seems to have found all sorts of things it would rather not permit. Of course, Canada isn’t alone in this. Almost every nation has at least a few laws that don’t make sense; most of the time, they’re not enforced. That said, if you’re a Texas resident planning on visiting Canada soon, pay attention to this list. It’s never a good idea to break the rules as a tourist.
