Easy recipe for a healthy desert with fruit?

As kids, you surely can remember fond and fun memories when you chased after worms and killed them. You can have memories of fright, disgust and simply anger of the tiny helpless creatures, which, as you were told by elders, could enter your body and cause so much troubles and illnesses. In reality, earthworms do not deserve such treatment.  In fact, they could play a vital and significant role in what is popularly known today as biodynamic farming, or the use of natural and organic farming techniques to yield agricultural products.  

By now, you should know that earthworms are truly helpful. Their appearance may prompt disgust and scare to people, but they are never harmful. They are the superstars of the soil, and there are more than enough reasons for that. They break down organic matters and excrete castings and slimes that contain nutrients that further enrich the soil.  

You can actually take advantage of the usefulness of earthworms especially if you intend to plant fruit trees. For all you know, you need not spend too much on fertilizers and do much efforts in tilting and digging the soil where your fruit tree seedlings will be implanted. You can leave those jobs to who else but your soil and farming buddies—earthworms.  

If you decided to plant fruit trees late in the planting season (autumn), you still could do so, without the need to wait for the next planting season. Yes, the soil could be invariably damp and too tightened, making it harder to dig. You surely will have a difficult time to dig deeper. Worse, you have to dig around the large area where the fruit tree seedlings will be planted. Do not worry. As long as there are earthworms around, you can be spared from such tedious activities.  

All you have to do is dig the site where the seedling will be implanted and put some earthworms around. Plant the tree and presto, you can leave and just visit the plant occasionally. The earthworms will take care of loosening the damp soil, transporting rich nutrients from the topsoil to the subsoil and making burrows that could facilitate further entry and circulation of air and water into the soil. As worms continue to thrive around the area, they could even provide good natural fertilizers to the fruit trees. Their excreted castings are significantly abundant with the right nutrients perfect for growth of plants.  

Even until the fruit trees have already grown up and become sturdy, earthworms could still continue to be of good service. That is the reason why worms should be considered buddies of plants and trees.  

If there are not enough volumes of earthworms in your meadows, backyard or land areas allotted for planting of fruit trees, you could opt to invest in vermicultured earthworms. Vermiculture is the technology and process of artificially cultivating and growing worms to boost their reproduction and growth. Such earthworms could truly be helpful in making you succeed in using biodynamic farming techniques. It should not be that hard.

Good Eats S10E17 Fruit Ten from Outer Space (1/2)

We are always looking for holiday cooking recipes that are fast, easy and tasty. Usually deciding what to cook as the meat dish for a holiday is easy, but then we need fast and easy accompaniments that will complement the taste of the meat. Here is one that is really quick and easy to make and it will go with any meat. It is luxurious and tasty yet easy to make. You only have to take care with the dressing, but if you follow the instruction carefully there should not be a problem.

Fruit Medley

Ingredients:

1 (20 oz.) can pineapple chunks, reserve juice

1/3 C sugar

1 T cornstarch

1 T lemon juice

1/8 t salt

2 eggs

1 ripe banana, sliced

1 C seedless green grapes, halved

1 (11 oz) can mandarin oranges, drained

1 (10 oz.) jar red maraschino cherries, drained

1 C miniature marshmallows

Method:

Place the reserved pineapple juice into a small saucepan.

Whisk in the sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice and salt until smooth.

Place the pan over medium heat and bring to a steady boil.

Stirring continuously, cook the mixture 3 minutes or until the sugar has completely dissolved.

Remove the pan from the heat.

Place the eggs in a separate bowl and beat slightly with a fork.

Pour 2 T of the hot dressing mixture and stir quickly to combine; you do this to prevent the egg from curdling.

Pour the egg mixture into the remaining dressing mixture.

Place the pan back on the stove over low heat and bring to a gentle boil.

Stirring continuously cook the mixture for 2 minutes.

Remove from the heat, pour into a bowl and allow the dressing to cool to room temperature.

In a salad bowl fold together the pineapple chunks, bananas, grapes, oranges, cherries and marshmallows.

Drizzle the cooled dressing into the fruit and toss to combine.

Serving Size: 8

This refreshing fruit medley is easy to make and a hit at many dinners. Serve it over torn lettuce and sprinkle a few chopped pecans over the top for an added treat. If your budget does not stretch far enough for the pecans, sweet basil or parsley will work as well, not too much though, you do not want to kill the delicate taste!

There is one more thing you need to keep in mind with this holiday cooking recipe, do all the preparations in advance except the bananas as they will go brown. Now it will take only a few minutes to slice the bananas and combine all the ingredients. This holiday cooking recipe will complement any meal.

Organic acai capsules are made from acai berry which is preserved with a natural preservative called the camu camu fruit.

Acai could react to other medication. Children under the age of 15 and pregnant women should avoid supplements contain acai extract.

When acai berry and colon cleanse is combined, all toxins in the body are flushed out efficiently. If an acai supplement is used with another colon cleanse supplement like Colon Xr or Colon Med 700, the digestive system is sure to be left spotlessly clean.
