(images: jacop.net, pocketpcmag.net)Warning: If you consider yourself a wine snob, or are easily offended (or both), then I am about to lose you as a friend with this post.Because I am here to tell you that "Fruit Bombs" (those wines made in a style that deliberately dials up the varietal fruit and shoves it right into your face) are OK.No, really, I'm serious. They're OK.Yes, they really are. YES, they ARE.Now, before I explain why Fruit Bombs are OK, I need to tell you a little about Jaco Pastorius (stick with me - this will all makes sense in a minute or two)...Jaco Pastorius is widely considered to be the father of modern jazz bass playing. Often he is cited as the best jazz bassist to have ever lived (if not the best electric bassist ever, period). If, like me, you're a bass player, then you have to be inspired at least a little bit by Jaco's amazing playing and harmonious blend of musicality, technique, humor, and inventiveness - if not, you'd better have your pulse checked,

La Comunidad Portuaria (Comport) y la APBA participan la próxima semana en la feria Fruit Logistica 2008 que se celebra en Berlín del 7 al 9 de febrero. La feria se desarrolla con carácter anual en el Palacio de Congresos de la capital alemana y a ella asisten profesionales de sectores diversos como 'traders', exportadores, importadores, servicios logísticos o líneas marítimas, entre otros. Las frutas y verduras son productos perecederos que necesitan una logística eficaz para almacenar, transportar y lograr que los productos de cualquier rincón del mundo lleguen a nuestras mesa con la máxima calidad y frescor. La participación de la delegación del Puerto de la Bahía de Algeciras, que por primera vez acude a esta cita, se centra en promocionar y potenciar las conexiones del puerto con los mercados estratégicos, especialmente los flujos de tráficos reefers entre Marruecos y Europa, y el tráfico reefer contenerizado procedente de Sudamérica.

Consumers are so disadvantaged because reading ingredient labels often require a PhD in biochemistry! Here’s one tip - The fewer the ingredients listed, the less processed the food is. If you’re buying dried fruit, the first ingredient should be fruit, such as raisins, dates, apricots or figs, and that’s about it. It sounds as if you chose a dried fruit that's been processed with hydrogenated fat. Dried fruit is a healthy food, a good choice for energy and fiber, and naturally fat-free. Dried fruit, by weight, is higher in calories than the fresh counterpart, and although concentrated in calories, it’s also more concentrated in other nutrients, for example, although fresh grapes are not a particularly good source of iron; raisins, which are dried grapes, are rich in iron. One cup of sliced fresh plums has only 91 calories; only 1 percent of the Daily Value for iron, a cup of prunes has 406 calories and 23 percent of the DV for iron. You don’t want to eat an entire cup of prun

With all the Christmas pudding, rich fruit cake, chocolates, cream and all the other lovely but quite unhealthy things, a fruit salad can be an excellent tonic. The problem being, of course, finding decent fruit in season.
O Christ,All thy ways of mercy tend to and end in my delight. Thou didst weep, sorrow, suffer that I might rejoice. For my joy thou hast sent the Comforter, multiplied thy promises, shown me my future happiness, given me a living fountain. Thou art preparing joy for me and me for joy; I pray for joy, wait for joy, long for joy; give me more than I can hold, desire, or think of. Measure out to me my times and degrees of joy, at my work, business, duties. If I weep at night, give me joy in the morning. Let me rest in the thought of thy love, pardon for sin, my title to heaven, my future unspotted state. I am an unworthy recipient of thy grace. I often disesteem thy blood and slight thy love, but can in repentance draw water from the wells of thy joyous forgiveness. Let my heart leap towards the eternal sabbath, where the work of redemption, sanctification, preservation, glorification is finished and perfected for ever, where thou wilt rejoice over me with joy. There is no joy like

The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.Galatians 5:22-23My husband and I are people of strong conviction. Conviction has been placed there by the Lord. We strive in all that we do to bring glory to Him. This does not mean that we do not fail and fall into sin. All of us do. We are a fallen race and are saved by the grace of God alone. When we fall, we acknowledge our sin, repent, and if possible perform acts of repentance. Even when we fail, He remains faithful. If we are faithless, He remains faithful— for He cannot deny himself. 2 Timothy 2:13In the past couple of years God has been moving us and revealing to us more and more of His truth. As we have applied these truths to our lives we have endured many trials. The more we transform our lives to the pattern God has set for us the more distinctive we become. This is the way it should be. In James we are told trials and temptations will come,

INGREDIENTS:* ab. 400 g raspberries * 2 - 5 tablespoons icing sugar* 3 kiwi fruits* 1 small fresh pineapple* 1 small melonFor non-weight watchers:*2 dl whipping cream + 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar (optional)Raspberry SauceMETHOD:1. Pass the raspberries through a fine-meshed sieve.2. Discard the seeds.3. Add enough icing sugar to make a syrupy and not too sweet sauce.THE PLATE:1. Prepare the fruits as usual, wash and peel.2. Cut melon into wedges and slice kiwi fruit.3. Cut pineapple into slices, then into smaller chunks.4. Divide sauce among six serving plates.5. Make a decorative fruit arrangement in the raspberry sauce,6. Top with a vanilla scented dollop of whipped cream (optional).A quick warning! This dessert can´t be done in advance because the rasberry sauce has a tendency to discolour the fruit. It doesn´t look nice.I grow raspberries in my garden. They also grow wild where I live, and in many other polar regions down through temperate climates of North America, Asia and Europe.

This detox programme used by celebs is quite interesting. Would you like to try it ?
The Juice Fast is the staple diet of the be-more-beautiful- than-you- have-ever-been-before market.
But with A-listers trying to achieve impossibly svelte bodies in what seems like a matter of minutes for film parts, it has never been more popular than now.
Tired celebrities all over the world — Ben Affleck, Christy Turlington, Liv Tyler — are spending long periods subsisting only on fruit and vegetable juices.

Of course I love loading up on produce in Chinatown or Flushing, but since I can't always make the trip, I frequently buy fruit from a fruit stand Best Fruit Stand on University Place, in front of L'Annam. It's twice the size of most fruit stands in Manhattan and offers better prices than most too. It's run by a mom with 2 or 3 sons; they generally sell fruit, but sometimes have vegetables as well. Most of their stock is ready to eat that day, so occasionally you have to be aware of their goods being over ripe, but usually I'm very happy with my purchases there. Oh, and they're usually wiped clean by 5pm so try to stop by early.
