Several months ago, a radish won the hearts of the citizens of Aioi Japan. The large, white daikon radish managed to grow straight up through a layer of asphalt, earning itself the nickname “gutsy radish” from Aioi residents. Its fans were recently moved to tears, however, when an unknown assailant lopped the top off the plucky white root and fled. According to a town official, the radish top was found near the scene of the crime and is currently convalescing in a water bath in hopes that it will live on.

They should check out New York where a tree can grow under a dark underpass on a diet of nothing but cig. butts and broken beer bottles. Now THAT is gutsy.

Tip of the Day

Butterscotch sauce is a rich and buttery treat that makes a great seasonal dessert topper in place of chocolate or whipped cream.
