Tropical Fruit Pops

Funny how my 3 year old asked Popsicle for breakfast.I don’t blame him, the heat and humidity was intense and so was the thirst.And having enjoyed these the day before in mid afternoon heat,little buds assumed must be OK to eat them whenever thirsty.Not that these are no good to start the day,but he still had to take his milk and cereal for starters and pops for dessert. Acai-Coconut-Papaya-Banana Pops Papayas,kiwis,mangoes,bananas,pineapple,coincidentally had all the tropical fruits in hand to give a very tropical touch to the fruit pops.A real summer indulgence,you could enrich the fruit pops with variety of real fresh fruit puree ,deliciously adding a daily serving of all natural fruits and fiber in your diet,void of artificial colors or excess sugar. Acai-Coconut-Mango-Pineapple Pops Layering the pops in different fruit flavors seemed daunting at first,then figured that semi-freezing each fruit layer then proceeding with next layer and finally immersing the stick over the last layer and then freezing completely.Evidently the method worked beautifully,the vibrant pops caught my kiddos attention instantly and of course they were not satisfied with one.

Agency and Atonement

Thanks, Marc for the introduction, and for the opportunity to converse with friends old and new at T & S. Before I annoy (at least some of) you with some political reflections, let me run past you some thoughts on agency and atonement that occurred to me in trying to teach Religion 121 (Book of Mormon Part 1) to BYU students.  I’m not sure I connected with many of themwith these ontological meditations on Second Nephi 2, but I’m hoping somewhere out there in this cyberspace I might find some interested interlocutors.  As I review the question of agency with reference to 2 Nephi 2, I notice three aspects of a rich and distinctive teaching on agency in the Restored Gospel: 1) agency is redeemed 2) agency is bodily & fruitful 3) agency is a principle of reality   1) Agency is Redeemed The Fall is finally good news (22-25) because it opens up the possibility of redemption through the Father’s loving sacrifice of His Son.  The joy that is offered through the Son’s infinite atoning sacrifice is a joy of infinite possibility, the possibility of acting for ourselves and not being acted upon (v

MTV Hired

MTV Hired is a new reality show on MTV which airs daily on 4pm (as always check your local listings). After watching their American Rebel PR and the Steven Madden episodes I was very impressed with the quality and education value of this show. I love quality reality show and this is why I tend to watch English TV, and a lot of it, to satisfy my hunger for some brain stimulation and inspiration.

Farewell, bird welfare: my handouts are withdrawn

A rather stern update, I fear, on worries expressed in this column before Christmas. I remarked then on the increasing reliance that blue tits seemed to be placing on my anti-squirrel birdseed dispensing machine in Derbyshire

If you hunger for power, you must stay hungry

Where have all the powerful fatties gone? The City and Westminster used to groan under the weight of excess blubber. From the fleshy first Prime Minister, Sir Robert Walpole, to the most celebrated fat politico, Winston Churchill, portliness has never been a barrier to power — until now

The Unmentionable

In October 1964, on the Friday night after the Thursday general election, Harold Wilson, James Callaghan and George Brown decided that the new Labour Government would not devalue the currency. From that moment on, until the inevitable reversal of the decision, Tony Crosland referered to devaluation as “the unmentionable”

Gaza’s waves will crash on Turkey’s shore

Somewhere, in some coastal briefing room, some Israeli officer must have told his colleagues of his plan for having commandos slide slowly, one at a time, on to the deck of a ship partially peopled — as Israeli sources had already warned — by fanatics who welcomed victory or martyrdom without discrimination. And somehow — intellects suspended — they must have agreed to what the novelist David Grossman, writing in the Israeli newspaper, Haaretz, described as the “insane operation” that left ten flotillistas dead.

Turn America around before it’s too late

A recent letter on how crucial this fall’s elections are to the future of our great nation was perhaps the most informative and accurate letter ever written to your paper. I remember when I was young how much honor and integrity meant and how America was looked up to and respected everywhere. We have come full circle, from the most respected and admired to the most hated, and it wasn’t necessary.
