A cup of fresh orange juice is what unifies the flavors in a soup made from pureed boiled root vegetables. The hot steamy soup is garnished with both navel and red-fleshed Cara Cara oranges.
Ingredients
1 Vidalia onion, coarsely chopped (about 2 1/2 cups)
2 oranges, such as Cara Cara navels
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 large parsnip, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 2 1/4 cups)
1/2 small rutabaga, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 1 3/4 cups)
1 small celery root, peeled and coarsely chopped (about 2 1/2 cups)
2 cans (14.5 ounces each) chicken broth
3/4 teaspoon freshly grated peeled ginger
2 thyme sprigs
1/2 cup water, plus more if needed
Fresh tarragon leaves, for garnish
Directions
Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and 3/4 teaspoon salt, and cook until onion is softened, about 6 minutes (do not let brown). Add parsnip, rutabaga, celery root, thyme, and broth. Bring to a boil, and reduce heat. Cover, and simmer until vegetables are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
Discard thyme. Puree soup in batches in a blender until smooth (fill blender only halfway), and transfer to a clean pot.
Finely grate enough peel of 1 orange to yield 1/2 teaspoon zest. Working over a bowl, cut segments of orange free of membranes, and set aside. Squeeze juice from membranes into a bowl, then squeeze enough juice from remaining orange to yield 1 cup total. Just before serving, reheat to warm. Stir in orange zest, juice, ginger, and water, plus more to thin to desired consistency. Season with salt, and garnish with orange segments, tarragon, and pepper.

Is dry farming the next wave in a drought-plagued world? Some fruit growers in California eschew irrigation and have escaped the financial fallout experienced by fellow farmers in recent years.
When he wasn’t swearing in Spanish at his broken mechanical potato harvester, Ryan Power of New Family Farm spent the better part of his afternoon professing his commitment to “dry farming”—growing food without any irrigation. Now, he was thirsty.
We took our leave of his rainbow-colored field of dry-farmed quinoa, and walked over to a patch of tomato plants that hadn’t been watered or rained on for six months. The plants appeared roughly how one might expect the recipients of zero water outside of Sebastopol at the tail end of California’s record drought last year to look—all but dead. The only signs of life were the plump, radiant orbs dangling from the withered vine. Power carefully removed a golf ball-sized fruit. “Try one of these,” he said.
It felt heavy for its size, and a tad soft. My teeth had to press a little to puncture its chewy skin. I was about to taste the famous California dry-farmed Early Girl, and was prepared for an intense flavor experience. But I wasn’t prepared to be thrown in a vat of tomato juice. This tomato hadn’t received the memo about any water shortage.
The flavor was vivid and bright, matching the tomato’s Porsche-red hue. This wasn’t a candy-sweet Sun Gold or low-acid heirloom, but an emissary of tomato essence, a juicy little bomb that tasted like a normal tomato, but with all of the flavor dials turned up to 11.
Dry farmers don’t irrigate their crops—at least beyond the seedling stage. Beyond that generalization, there are many distinct, region-specific variations on this theme. Dry farmers in the mid-Atlantic rely on summer rains. Most of the grain in America’s breadbasket does, too.
Along the Pacific coast, dry farmers follow a Mediterranean-style model tailored to dry summers and wet winters. While this system is beloved by its West Coast practitioners, dry farming is a tiny blip in California’s $43-billion agriculture industry—less than one percent, guesses Steve Gliessman, an agroecology professor at the University of California, Santa Cruz. That’s just an estimate, though, he says, as the people that keep track of such data “…don’t even think to ask farmers if they dry farm or not.”
But proponents of the practice believe dry farming could be the way of the future, as climate change and water use continue to drain aquifers.
The dry farmers of California don’t want a single drop of summer rain, as it would only water the weeds. Surface water is of no use to the crops, as the roots of a dry-farmed plant plunge deep into the earth, sniffing out water left months earlier by the heavy rains of winter. Along the way, according to dry-farm enthusiasts, the roots absorb terroir, adding complexity and earthiness to a crop’s flavor.

They are a family favourite – a staple of the British sweet counter and the Christmas stocking.
They say the famous chocolate segments have been reduced in size by Cadbury, which is now owned by the US giant Mondelez International.
Aficionados of the orange flavoured confectionary have set up a Facebook page bemoaning its reduced weight.
The group, called Mondelez are shrinking our Terry's Chocolate Oranges, states: “Mondelez International have decided to shrink the 1932 chocolate orange, a subtle trick that they hoped nobody would notice. Well, we noticed and we’re sick of them ruining British chocolate.”
One Terry’s Chocolate Orange fan, Michael Hood, said: “The segments have one side hollowed out, that’s different I think, so I look at the box and see it weights 157g”
Nikita Broughton, said: “Great another chocolate I can't buy anymore! Hopefully they'll stop doing it when nobody buys it!”
Mondelez took over production of Terry’s Chocolate Orange in 2012, moving its production to processing plants in Poland.
It has been previously accused of cutting the number of Crème Eggs and Curly Wurlys in its multipacks without reducing their price to customers.
Mondelez blamed the need to reduce the contents of its multipacks on the rising costs of ingredient

Garfield
Garfield, an American comic strip created by Jim Davis. Published since 1978, it chronicles the life of the title character, the cat Garfield; Jon, his owner; and Jon's dog, Odie. As of 2013, it was syndicated in roughly 2,580 newspapers and journals, and held the Guinness World Record for being the world's most widely syndicated comic strip.
Bad Spray Tan
If you decide to try the spray tan again, definitely make sure you’ve got the supplies for fixing mistakes at home, and try to make your appointments at a minimum of three days BEFORE your event.
Buffalo Wings
Buffalo wings are used in competitive eating events, such as Philadelphia's Wing Bowl and at the National Buffalo Wing Festival. It has also become commonplace for restaurants to offer a wing eating contest[12] featuring a customer eating a certain number of wings, coated in their hottest sauce. Many bars and restaurants intentionally create an extra-hot sauce for this purpose, and customers are usually rewarded with a picture on the wall or free meal.
Traffic Cones
On the color wheel, Safety Orange (aka "Blaze" Orange) is opposite azure – the color of the sky. That makes this hue the most dissimilar to an outdoor backdrop and the easiest to spot. The color is Orange-152 on the Pantone Matching System (PMS) with 14 parts yellow + 3 parts warm red + ¼ part black.
Cheetos
Cheetos was ranked as the top selling brand of cheese puffs in its primary market of the United States; worldwide the annual retail sales totaled approximately $4 billion. The original Crunchy Cheetos are still in production but the product line has since expanded to include 21 different types of Cheetos in North America alone. As Cheetos are sold in more than 36 countries.
Fanta Orange Soda
Fanta originated as a result of difficulties importing Coca-Cola syrup into Nazi Germany during World War II due to a trade embargo.[1] To circumvent this, Max Keith, the head of Coca-Cola Deutschland (Coca-Cola GmbH) during the war, decided to create a new product for the German market, using only ingredients available in Germany at the time, including whey and apple pomace -
Life Vests
Orange is a great color for life jackets because it is a very bright color that you rarely find in nature. If you are trying to rescue someone who has fallen overboard, you need to be able to see them. If they are wearing a bright orange life jacket you will be better able to see them than if their life jacket were blue or green.

This is very simple and the flavor is wonderful! My husbands uncle gave us this recipe years ago, it is a staple in our home! Great with pasta or rice!
Ingredients
1 cup orange juice
1/3 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
3 teaspoons minced garlic
2 (3/4 pound) whole pork tenderloins
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Make the orange marinade by whisking together the orange juice, soy sauce, rosemary, and garlic. Pour over pork tenderloin and marinate for at least one hour, preferably overnight.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Drain pork, reserving the marinade, and place on a baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Roast for about 20 minutes until internal temperature has reached 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
Meanwhile, strain the reserved marinade and bring it to a simmer in a small saucepan. Serve this as a sauce for the meat.
Tip
Aluminum foil can be used to keep food moist, cook it evenly, and make clean-up easier.

Houston postman
Jeff McKissack created The Orange Show in honor of his favorite fruit
and illustrate his belief that longevity results from hard work and good
nutrition. Working in isolation from 1956 until his death in 1980,
McKissack used common building materials and found objects — bricks,
tiles, fencing, farm implements — to transform an East End lot into an
architectural maze of walkways, balconies, arenas and exhibits decorated
with mosaics and brightly painted iron figures.
When McKissack
died, Houston arts patron Marilyn Oshman formed a non-profit foundation
to preserve The Orange Show. The 21 original donors represent a diverse
cross-section of Houston -- Dominique de Menil, Nina Cullinan, members
of the legendary Texas rock band ZZ Top and East End funerary director
Tommy Schlitzberger. In 1982, the restored site opened and newly hired
staff began to integrate The Orange Show into Houston's cultural life
through a wide variety of programs. Artists, musicians and literary
figures that make Houston their home bring depth and dimension to
programs, and give the public immediate access to creative thinking.
Programs focus
on the Orange Show's ability to make basic elements of art tangible and
accessible. Dynamic events involve at risk youth in community enriching
art projects -- to date 28 murals have been created under Orange Show
auspices. A library and archive document visionary artists and
environments. Outreach programs encourage the public to participate in
the creative process; among the most successful of these is Art Car
Weekend.

April 8th Easter Orange Hunt& PEEPS Art Contest. Bring the kids out
