Grapefruit

With this drink, Hiball Grapefruit, I have completed the current collection of flavored Hiball Energy Drinks. Now I know these drinks are mixers and really should be evaluated as such, but since alcohol and energy drinks is very controversial I just drink them on my own. While I haven’t always been a big fan of the small Hiball company, the last few flavors I have tried have been an improvement

I have been asked to review the Archer line of energy drinks from multiple readers, so I stopped putting it off and here it is. I guess I was overdue. Targets are everywhere so trying out their private label energy drink from Archer Farms makes sense in giving many readers an accessible energy drink to learn about. Archer Farms Energy Drinks come in several flavors, but I’m going to start off

This morning I was eating a grapefruit with a spoon, when I found myself using my left hand…Since I am right-handed, it gave me pause.  When I was younger I used to practice using my left hand for different tasks, such as writing or tying my shoes.  I guess I did this because I wanted to [...]

Here's my version of the XKCD fruit matrix. Usually I am always right in tune with XKCD, but this time, I had to take exception to their F*ck Grapefruit comic below.First of all, grapefruit is not a sickly green color. Today's red and pink grapefruit have a beautiful yellow color with a pink blush. So I prettied it up and moved it into the tasty zone. Yes, they are still difficult, but luckily I have a special grapefruit knife which has a curved blade on one end and a double blade on the other end (to cut the skin sections with half the effort).I also had to move a lot of the other fruit around and add yellow apples, my favorite apple. They may be easy for some, but I take the kid factor into account. I still need to peel and cut apples and pears as well as pit cherries before they c

A recent chain e-mail chain has made some people concerned about grapefruit. According to the messages, a 2007 study found an increased risk of breast cancer among postmenopausal women who ate large amounts of grapefruit. The study is real; it looked at more than 46,000 women, and those who ate half a grapefruit every other day had a 30 percent higher risk of breast cancer. However, a more recent report, which followed more than 77,000 women over the course of many years, found no rise in breast cancer related to either grapefruit or grapefruit juice. Experts at the American Cancer Society said that there was insufficient evidence to raise alarm, but that women with concerns could cut back on grapefruit.

The holidays are, among other things, about glitz and glamour. About feasting with your eyes. One of my favorite tricks for holiday entertaining is to serve a tray of amuse bouche in flat-bottomed Asian soup spoons. This allows you to gather together interesting combinations of tastes that don't conform to traditional "finger food" forms. But this dish can be served equally well plated for a

Egg Grapefruit Diet by MATTHEW CORGANThis new diet is the egg grapefruit diet. For a healthy breakfast eating one hard boiled egg with a half grapefruit without sugar will reduce calories that would be eaten from bacon or sausage. In this diet you can drink Fat free milk or 1% milk. Absolutely no whole milk. Orange juice or cranberry juice is another alternative.Hashbrowns are fine to eat in this diet because it is smaller portions. Apple cider or apple cider vinegar are another possible addition to this diet. Diets should be followed by day and meal. If you don't plan it will be easier to give up on the diet. That is one of the downfalls of this diet that many people give up less than a week into it.Many people can't try this diet because they don't have enough time to organize a meal lik

The Grapefruit Diet is one of the fad diets that were really popular back in the 1980s although it has been in one form or another since 1930. Most of the time, the grapefruit diet has been discounted by experts as dangerously unbalanced or simply unable to deliver on its promises. It was generally thought [...]

There are several foods I can't look out without thinking of dieting: cottage cheese, Melba toast, celery sticks, and grapefruit. As a child I watched my mother go on numerous diets, but they all seemed to involve a half of grapefruit in the morning with Sweet'n'Low and a cup of black coffee. Sweet, sour, and bitter--the taste of diet in the days of yore. It was not uncommon to have a half a

6 to 8 grapefruit, unpeeled 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 cup minced green onion 1 tablespoon Asian chili sauce 1/2 teaspoon salt 4 - 6 ounce grouper filets Cut 4 grapefruits into -inch-thick slices. Grate zest from 1 of remaining grapefruits. Juice the remaining grapefruit to obtain 1 cup juice. In a bowl, combine the grapefruit zest, grapefruit juice, sugar, green onion, chili sauce and salt; mix well. (Marinade can be covered and refrigerated for 8 hours before using.) Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill to medium (about 450 degrees). Place fish in a baking dish. Stir marinade; pour half over fish, turning to coat evenly. Cover fish and marinate in the refrigerator for 5 to 15 minutes. Lay grapefruit slices in a tight, single layer directly on the grill rack. Place fish on top of grapefruit. Cover grill; cook 10 minutes before lifting the lid. If the fish does not flake when prodded with a fork, close lid and cook 2 minutes more. Transfer fish to di

This recipe comes straight from Splenda and ever since I saw it my mouth has been watering. I'm going to make it the way the recipe is written the first time, but since I usually have a Fresca or Squirt style soda on hand (I love grapefruit soda!) I am going to use that next time. It won't be quite as sweet, but that is perfect for me as I don't like things overly sweet. This would explain (

Would you like to try your hand at this home made toning lotion using grapefruit? This toner is especially suited for oily and sensitive skin. A harsh-astringent lotion can only irritate your skin. So why not go in for a mild concoction like this. Skin toners as such have an evaporating and cooling action that causes muscles to contract and pores to shrink temporarily. Besides, toning is pleasant

Grapefruit were one of the better Beatlesque late-'60s British pop-rock bands. In 1968 they seemed on the way to stardom, with a couple of small hit British singles and, more importantly, some help from the Beatles themselves. Led by George Alexander, brother of the Easybeats' George Young, the group were at the outset cheerful harmony pop/rockers with similarities to the Easybeats, Bee Gees, and some Paul McCartney-penned tunes from the Beatles' own psych-pop era. Not quite as incessantly chipper as the Easybeats, not as melodramatic as the Bee Gees, and certainly not as inventive as the Beatles, they were nonetheless similarly skilled at blending melodic pop with sophisticated arrangements that employed baroque/psychedelic touches of strings, orchestration, and several varieties of keyboards. A disappointing second album, however, helped sink them out of sight, and the Beatles couldn't be of help as they were preoccupied with their own imminent dissolution. George Alexander (born

Trying grapefruit for weight loss is a good idea. So why not include it in to your daily diet and see the pounds go. Researches have shown that grapefruit can be a big fat fighter. In a recent study that was conducted at the Scripps Clinic in La Jolla, California, effects of grapefruits on weight loss was examined and found that taking half a grapefruit before your meal can help you lose people

For my first post here at Our Book Of Scrap, I'm importing a semi-regular feature from The Feed.
