Fruit Spread Ideas

Hello everyone. :)

 Today, I'm sharing some simple fruit spread ideas.

 I am not giving any set recipe; I am simply giving some "formula's", which I have learned from my mother, on how different kinds of fruit spreads can be made.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Dried fruits add thickness, flavor, color and sweetness to a fruit spread.  Examples of dried fruits: dates, dried figs, raisins, prunes, dried apricots, dried cranberries (we use fruit juice sweetened), dried papaya, dried mangoes etc.

 2. Fresh fruits add flavor, color and a more watery consistency to a fruit spread. So have fun! There are many different kinds of fruits to choose from.

 3. Frozen fruits add a nice touch, at times.  My mother uses frozen strawberries, slightly thawed, in her strawberry spread/jam.

 4. The more adventuresome cooks may want to add spices such as anise, coriander and cardamum (this combination kind of tastes like cinnamon) or fennel for a more exotic flavor.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have fun, cooks!

Tornado Roll Hair Tutorial

Image
Hello everyone. :) (One important note: I mentioned that I wear a panty hose on my head at night to keep my hair neat. I either tie up the legs or wear a panty hose that has had the legs cut off. I wouldn't want anyone to have the legs end up becoming tied around their necks during their sleep. That doesn't sound safe). In today's video, I am showing you all how to do what I have termed a "tornado roll" on stretched natural African-American hair. This style would not work so well on most freshly washed natural African-American hair. African American hair is generally not washed daily. My definition of stretched hair is the following: natural African-American hair  that has been twisted, braided or put in buns for more than one day and that has then been combed out dry. This style can be done with straight or wavy hair as well. The hair tools that I use in this video are the following: A wide tooth comb A bristle brush A pony tail holder A large jaw clip Bobb

         Would you be excited if you learned that there is a diet that has been shown to help people to drastically improve, and even reverse, type 2 diabetes and heart disease, and which also makes weight loss tremendously easier? Some medical professionals have come to see that the Whole Foods Plant Based diet can do incredible things for many of their patients: things that conventional medicine struggles to accomplish.  Today I will be sharing some free, online resources that give my readers scientific information on the benefits of the Whole Foods Plant-Based diet for type 2 diabetes and heart disease. I will also be sharing testimonials of people who have overcome obesity on this diet.       What I am sharing isn't a comprehensive ( comprehensive definition ) list of resources on these topics, but I hope that what I am sharing will be food for thought (that sounds like a pun!). As a friendly reminder, I am not a medical professional and what I am sharing is not a substitute fo
