Oranges have been from time immemorial a staple food in the Mediterranean countries. They have also been a major player in protecting the people of that region from heart disease. Thus, if you never thought of oranges as a "must" food for your heart, here are some good reasons to start doing so:Oranges and vitamin COranges are very rich in vitamin C. This vitamin has the following effects in our b

Either there are more memoirs being published today or my eye has become better attuned to picking them from the stacks and stacks of new books I am exposed to every month. But, while there may be more memoir choices than ever before, finding an honestly written one is still the challenge. And why anyone would want to waste time on memoirs that are less than honest is beyond me. Marie Brenner

Cube Zero director Ernie Barbarash’s generic 2007 supernatural clunker They Wait is exactly the type of second-rate, slapdash motion picture you’d expect from executive producer/Internet hate object Uwe Boll. In addition to being highly illogical and beyond boring, the film provides little in the way of actual entertainment, effectively lulling the prospective viewer into the [...]

Jac Holzman's (of Elektra Records) assessment of Paul Siebel proved right: Siebel really didn't have the ambition necessary to make it in show business. That, however, didn't mean he couldn't make a great album, so Elektra matched the songsmith with producer Peter K. Siegel and turned them loose in the studio. With a shoestring budget, the two men gathered a handful of fine musicians — including

It doesn’t make sense to condemn an apple for not being as good as an orange or vice versa. They are both fruits that essentially perform the same function but appeal to different tastes and provide some different benefits. Just as it is unreasonable to compare apples with oranges, it is unreasonable to fault hybrid technology for lacking certain characteristics found in non-hybrid diesel engines and vice versa. However, what will be interesting is to observe how diesel electric hybrid technology will evolve into the market, which may allow consumers to get the best of both worlds or very close.A diesel BMW 520d was compared with a Toyota Prius in a European road test. The diesel BMW got slightly better fuel mileage at 50.3 mpg while the Toyota Prius achieved 48.1 mpg. To me the comp

Oranges, those deliciously juicy and citrusy-sweet fruits which are synonymous with Vitamin C for the body, contain much more than just that! Oranges not only add an enigmatic aroma to our foods, they also do tonnes of good to our mind and body. But back in India, anything round and orange in color was an "Orange" to me, be it small, medium or jumbo in size; but a few years in the US taught me that there are several varieties of oranges that you get all year round, and each of them has something unique to offer. If you thought till now that they are simply a great source of antioxidants, think again! Ranked as the "Numero Uno" in the family of nutrition-rich fruits like apples, bananas, grapes and pears, oranges are among the healthiest items in the produce section that provide valuable he

I should’ve written this drunk, as it may be a funnier, better post. You see, like many of you out there, I tend to get loved up when I’m drunk. This is exactly why I was specifically told not to use the phone ‘back in the day’ after a night out on the piss (to [...]

This picture represents my 'orange' journey. So far, you've seen candied orange peel (in the middle pint) and orange marmalade (the squat half-pint). Last night, I explored raw packing the oranges which is represented in the front jar, peeled oranges in a light syrup. The empty canning jar in the picture signifies there may be more to come :-) Writing this reminded me of the 70's -- my father

At the market in Koh Kong, Cambodia. These don't look much like oranges on the outside. They have green skin, not orange skin! But they looked and tasted like orange on the inside. I did wonder for a moment if it was possible to haul one of the above bags all the way home to Singapore, but I finally decided against it.Marissa bought some of these green oranges (on the bottom right) for our dessert. She got a bag (perhaps about 12 or 15 big ones for US$1.00)

By Dawn FieldsCheri decided that she wanted to grow an apple tree in her back yard. She had never planted an apple tree before. In fact, she had never planted anything before. This was her first time trying her hand at gardening. But last year, she had this idea that it would be nice to grow an apple tree right in her back yard.Now that the weather was growing nicer, the idea came back to her and it seemed that she became obsessed with growing an apple tree. Being urged to get started, she found herself going to the library and the book store and on the Internet to research all that she could about growing an apple tree. She had to learn about apple variety and rootstock; about site selection, proper planting, training and pruning, adequate fertility, and pest control all of types of things that contributed to creating a healthy and productive tree.Every time she went out in her yard, she would picture exactly where she would grow the tree. She would see, in her minds eye, the tree alr

I am having weird cravings for pickles and oranges now. I wonder what that means? I have hit the 37th week now so officially, my baby is full term. I still want the baby to "cook" a little while longer. My baby has dropped and I feel like I have a bowling ball in between my legs. The pressure is painful. He is also a very active baby, especially at night. That is not a good thing. My son also was very active at night and he ended up staying up all night crying the first three months of his life. My nesting instincts have kicked big time. That is very difficult when you can't walk. I want to clean everything. I am just unhappy with my home. The slightest speck of dirt is driving me crazy, but I am making myself stay off of my feet as much as possible. I really don't want to injure myself any worse than I have. My mother will kill me, but I admit to cooking lunch and washing the dishes today. I just couldn't stand it anymore!! I was tired of eating fast food and seeing dishes all ov

Watercolor pencils are not a medium that has caught on too much among serious artists. Perhaps that his because most of the pencils out there are not artist quality. The pigments are not clearly indicated and their lightfastness is questionable at the very least.Derwent has a line of pencils that are lightfast and artist quality. They are called Signature. They come in Watercolor and regular pencils. I used those to make this little painting of oranges in a plate.If you enjoy quality pencils or are an artist wanting to try out good quality watercolor pencils, I urge you to hurry and get some of these Signature pencils. Why hurry? No I am not doing a hard sell for Derwent. The fact is if you live in North America, you will notice that every art store has them on clearance or sale. Why? Because the distributor in North America has decided to discontinue providing them to us.So get them while you can. I will be writing a full feature about the Derwent watercolor pencil line soon with a f

Many of us are used to seeing those lovely bright orange oranges in the grocery stores. Here in Honduras and in other tropical areas, the oranges and lemons are usually green. In fact, by the time they start showing a little color, they are often past their prime. Why is that? Oranges are actually a sub-tropical tree that was introduced to the American tropics around 1500 by Christopher Columbus among others. The fruit does not continue to ripen after picking so it must be left on the tree until ripe. The natural orange color of Citrus sinensis (sweet orange) is brought on by cooler temperatures. Since most eating oranges in the US are grown in Florida or California, they receive a bit more cool weather than they get here in Honduras. So if you are growing oranges in cooler climates, the peel will probably become orange, if you are growing them in the tropics, most varieties will stay green when ripe. It's not only temperature, though. All sorts of dastardly things are done to

This is a very simple after dinner snack that I make often for the boys.I add apples and bananas as well if I have them,but the oranges are great by themselves.And so easy to do.The cinnamon and oranges pair nicely together.I try to dust the cinnamon on as lightly as I can,but my son prefersmore of a cinnamon taste.Adjust the cinnamon to taste.A different take on oranges that works!Cinnamon Oranges2 oranges, the sweetest you can find1 tablespoon cinnamonPeel oranges, then slice crossways into rounds and arrange on a pretty plate.Lightly dust with cinnamon and serve immediately.

While we buy local when we can, the luxury of citrus from exotic places like Florida and California is not one we take for granted. Right now we are deeply enjoying a bag of Moro blood oranges - their lush sweetness and slight bitter aftertaste satisfies and refreshes. More photos ...
