<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A cup of fresh orange juice is what unifies the flavors in a soup made from pureed boiled root vegetables. The </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">hot steamy</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> soup is</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> garnished with both navel and red-fleshed Cara Cara oranges. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Ingredients</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 Vidalia onion, coarsely chopped (about 2 1/2 cups)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 oranges, such as Cara Cara navels</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 tablespoon unsalted butter</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 large parsnip, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 2 1/4 cups)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/2 small rutabaga, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 1 3/4 cups)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 small celery root, peeled and coarsely chopped (about 2 1/2 cups)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 cans (14.5 ounces each) chicken broth</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3/4 teaspoon freshly grated peeled ginger</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 thyme sprigs</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/2 cup water, plus more if needed</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fresh tarragon leaves, for garnish </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Directions</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Discard thyme. Puree soup in batches in a blender until smooth (fill blender only halfway), and transfer to a clean pot.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">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.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTm7G7ZIiwzA3uQ7N0Pbu2iP0pwmRHUrCi33z3HzmWRcKXCllrRV6wviBpRj5pIXMhh1qPioZCKjvPzOHeIvEUeAtEs8d0b3yxDgttCqe4QkSYrLaKjWM-r9YsgQW9nsovR0r9XQQ9ilQ/s1600/dry-farming.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTm7G7ZIiwzA3uQ7N0Pbu2iP0pwmRHUrCi33z3HzmWRcKXCllrRV6wviBpRj5pIXMhh1qPioZCKjvPzOHeIvEUeAtEs8d0b3yxDgttCqe4QkSYrLaKjWM-r9YsgQW9nsovR0r9XQQ9ilQ/s400/dry-farming.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">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.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">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.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">They say the famous chocolate segments have been reduced in size by Cadbury, which is now owned by the US giant Mondelez International.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Aficionados of the orange flavoured confectionary have set up a Facebook page bemoaning its reduced weight.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">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.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">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”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Nikita Broughton, said: “Great another chocolate I can't buy anymore! Hopefully they'll stop doing it when nobody buys it!”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Mondelez took over production of Terry’s Chocolate Orange in 2012, moving its production to processing plants in Poland.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It has been previously accused of cutting the number of Crème Eggs and Curly Wurlys in its multipacks without reducing their price to customers.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Mondelez blamed the need to reduce the contents of its multipacks on the rising costs of ingredient</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">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.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">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.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">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.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">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 -</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">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.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">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!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Ingredients</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 cup orange juice</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/3 cup soy sauce</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3 teaspoons minced garlic</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 (3/4 pound) whole pork tenderloins</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Directions</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">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).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Meanwhile, strain the reserved marinade and bring it to a simmer in a small saucepan. Serve this as a sauce for the meat.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Tip</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Aluminum foil can be used to keep food moist, cook it evenly, and make clean-up easier.</span><br />

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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">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. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">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.</span><br />

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilEoZaaxazd3k9WTQMGlsQAwgc7njk4j86ecQuKVhGk60IJu86rIezORLU2qZN_-58CbtyUh4zHii6dCRA2Imol9M80eGNr-D7tDlG_qStMtibGDCi8j8om9oLd0RkDMZ8eMDSFY2V_9g/s1600/cara-cara_66.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="287" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilEoZaaxazd3k9WTQMGlsQAwgc7njk4j86ecQuKVhGk60IJu86rIezORLU2qZN_-58CbtyUh4zHii6dCRA2Imol9M80eGNr-D7tDlG_qStMtibGDCi8j8om9oLd0RkDMZ8eMDSFY2V_9g/s320/cara-cara_66.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cara Cara, Navel oranges also called the Red Orange Fruit. The Cara Cara is sometimes called the red orange fruit because, while it resembles a navel orange from the outside, the inner flesh is pinkish-red. The flavor is like that of an orange but slightly tangier. It imparts a range of nutritional value, including vitamin C, folate, vitamin A and potassium. The nutrition in these fruits help you meet your daily needs for several vitamins and minerals.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Calories and Protein</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One medium Cara Cara weighing 154 g adds 80 calories to your meal plan, which makes it a good choice for snacking. Choosing nutritionally dense foods for snacks, such as the Cara Cara, gives you more bang for your calorie buck. While this citrus fruit may be rich in vitamins and minerals, it does not provide much in the way of protein. One piece of fruit has 1 g of the 50 to 175 g of protein you should consume daily.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Carbohydrates and Fiber</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Include a Cara Cara in your meal plan, and you take in 19 g of carbohydrates. The 225 to 325 g of carbohydrates recommended for daily consumption are necessary for keeping up your energy levels. This type of fruit is a good source of fiber, containing 3 g per piece. The soluble fiber in Cara Caras -- you need 22 to 34 g daily -- helps maintain normal cholesterol levels.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Vitamin C and Vitamin A</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A Cara Cara delivers 150 percent of the daily recommended intake of vitamin C if you follow a 2,000 calorie diet. The vitamin C in this fruit is good for your skin and joints, but it may also offer particular benefits for smokers. A study published in the 2011 "Journal of Oncology" indicates that vitamin C may help prevent the proliferation of lung cancer cells triggered by cigarette smoke. You also take in 30 percent of the vitamin A you need each day in one Cara Cara, which positively influences your vision.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Folate</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Eating Cara Caras when trying to get pregnant is a good option -- this fruit provides 15 percent of the recommended folate. Folate is useful when attempting to conceive and during pregnancy by protecting a developing fetus from some types of birth defects. The folate in your meal plan from this fruit and other foods may also protect you from cancer as it maintains normal cell growth.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Potassium</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One Cara Cara contains 250 mg of potassium; you need 2,000 mg of this mineral each day. Potassium plays a critical function in your body's function, conducting electricity along your body to influence your heart's ability to beat properly. Getting adequate amounts of potassium may also reduce your risk of having a stroke.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The blueberry combines more powerful disease-fighting antioxidants than any other fruit or vegetable. They are called “brain berries” and “youth berries.” Just one serving of blueberries provides as many antioxidants as five servings of carrots, apples, broccoli, or squash. Blueberries have extraordinary health and anti-aging benefits and may lowering your risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer. And we can’t forget their help in maintaining healthy skin and reducing the sags and bags brought on by age. One recent study published in the Journal of Clinical Nutrition</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> found that people who ate the equivalent of 1 cup of blueberries daily had an increased level of antioxidants in their blood – an increase which is now being studied as a “physiologic state” that plays an important role in the prevention of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, senility, cancer, and </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">degenerative eye diseases like macular degeneration and cataracts. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Ways to eat blueberries:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">• Sprinkle berries and wheat germ on yogurt</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Sidekicks:</b> lemons, white and pink grapefruit, kumquats, tangerines, limes. Eat 1 cup daily.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Oranges contain: Vitamin C, potassium, fiber, polyphenols, folate, pectin, limonene Oranges are rich in vitamin C support heart health and may prevent cancer, stroke, diabetes, and a host of chronic ailments. Pectin is the dietary fiber in oranges and it is very effective in helping to reduce cholesterol. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It is present in large amounts in the white lining of citrus fruit (known as albedo). An easy way to increase your pectin intake is to eat the pith, the white thread-like material attached to the inside of the peel. Dietary pectin has been shown to lower glucose absorption and thus insulin production in people with Type II Dia-betes, which is fast becoming an epidemic in developed countries. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Vitamin C, which is abundantly available in oranges, also plays a role in fighting cancer. In fact, there is a relatively consistent inverse association of vitamin C with cancer of the stomach, oral cancer, and cancer of the esophagus. This makes sense as vitamin C protects against nitrosamines, cancer-causing agents found in food that are thought to be responsible for instigating cancers of the mouth, stomach, and colon. One Swiss study found that those who died of any type of cancer had vitamin C concentrations about 10 percent lower than those who died from other causes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It has been estimated that drinking 1 cup of orange juice daily may lower the risk of stroke in healthy men by 25 percent while the risk in reduced only 2 percent from other fruits. Vitamin C in supplement form does not appear to have the same benefits as the whole fruit when it comes to stroke prevention. Another reason to rely on whole foods for optimal nutrition!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Get some orange in your life:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">• Eat an orange, tangerine, or Clementine everyday</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">• Add mandarin orange segments to a spinach salad with chopped red onion</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">• Sprinkle grapefruit halves with a dusting of brown sugar and broil for a great dessert</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">• Add orange juice to a fruit smoothie</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">• Keep some orange and/or lemon zest in your freezer : put it in cakes, cookies, muffins, or even drinks for a refreshing boost of nutrition and flavor. Sprinkle on yogurt, in fruit salads, and even chicken salad. Use citrus zest in hot tea</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">• Citrus juice adds a flavor boost to many poultry and fish dishes</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Use orange wedges as a refresher for athletes, young and old. They give a much-needed boost of antioxidants and vitamin C on the playing field or at the gym.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Ingredients</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> 1 (8 to 10-pound) smoked ham, bone-in, skin on</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> 1 bunch fresh sage leaves</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut in chunks</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> 2 medium navel oranges, sliced thin, seeds removed</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> 2 cups orange juice</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> 2 cups light brown sugar, packed</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> 1 cup water</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> 1/4 teaspoon whole cloves</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> 2 cinnamon sticks</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> 1 1/2 pounds peeled baby carrots</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Directions</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Put the ham in a large roasting pan, fat side up. Using a sharp knife, score the ham with cuts across the skin, about 2-inches apart and 1/2-inch deep. Cut diagonally down the slashes to form a diamond pattern; season the meat generously with salt and pepper. Chop about 8 of the sage leaves and put in a bowl; mix with the oil to make a paste. Rub the sage-oil all over the ham, being sure to get the flavor into all the slits. Bake the ham for 2 hours. Now there is plenty of time to bang-out the orange glaze.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For the glaze: Place a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chunks of butter, oranges, orange juice, brown sugar, water, and spices. Slowly cook the liquid down to a syrupy glaze; this should take about 30 to 40 minutes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> After the ham has been going for a couple of hours, pour the orange glaze all over it, with the pieces of fruit and all. Scatter the remaining sage leaves on top and stick the ham back in the oven. Continue to cook for 1 1/2 hours, basting with the juices every 30 minutes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Scatter the carrots around the ham and coat in the orange glaze. Stick the ham once again back in the oven and cook for a final 30 minutes, until the carrots are tender, the ham is dark and crispy, and the whole thing is glistening with a sugary glaze.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Set the ham on a cutting board to rest before carving. Serve the carrots and orange glaze on the side.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is what they had to say about this experience that punches buttons with all of your senses.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"This isn't one of those internet challenges that pop up, seemingly every other day, but it's just as strange of a trend.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Eating oranges in the shower has become the new therapeutic trend that people swear by.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The idea behind it is tapping into your primal instincts, tearing into the orange without worry of a mess, and being immediately cleansed while you go as crazy as you want with that orange.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">People Are Suddenly Eating Oranges In The Shower For 'Liberating' Experience</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Its origins can be linked back to 2016, when Reddit user Photon_bandit said he was at an Italian youth camp and his counselor asked him, "Would you like to know the most liberating, carnal, and best feel-good thing you can ever experience is?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While that sounds like it could lead to something extremely inappropriate, it was only mildly inappropriate, as the counselor suggested the orange shower.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Of course, because the internet picks up on things randomly, a subreddit was created for the showering experience, as users share photos of themselves, and describe their experience:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>I couldn't stop myself. I tried one and kept going until I hit 6 and realized what I had done. Truly life changing."</i> - <b>Haydo1239</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>As a first timer, I found this experiment very fruitful to my pleasure endeavors. </i>- <b>Skrami</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Even the guys from the popular YouTube channel Good Mythical Morning tried it out and filmed it. They didn't exactly get enlightening results, but it looked fun.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Is this the new experience that leads to true nirvana? Who knows, but at least people are eating fruit, even if it's in an unconventional location."</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Citrus is one of the most important com-mercial fruit crops grown in all continents of the world. Due to natural distinct flavors and medicinal value, people’s interest is increasing inits consumption. Citrus contains bioactivecompounds that lower the risk of colorectal, esophageal, gastric and stomach cancers, stroke and play protective role against many chronicdiseases. Beside this, citrus fruits also have asignificant role in improving blood lipid profilesand survival in the elderly. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In current citrus industry, citrus fruits areconsumed as raw or as processed juice whilefruit peel is produced in great quantities and due to unawareness, this highly valuable peelhaving renowned mass is regarded mainly as awaste. Citrus peel has significant economicvalue for its essential oil. If proper recyclingof this peel is performed, a valuable productcan be made from this natural gift in the formof peel oil. Interestingly, recent research studieshave revealed that fruit peel of citrus hasessential oils which provide antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Essential oils of plants have been </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">proven to be eco-friendly bio-control agent too.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Photosensitization is a potential problem withmany cold pressed citrus oils. Distillationtechniques are the most common fragranceyielding method. Since the last decade, consumersare becoming more conscious of the nutritionalvalue and safety of their health as well as food and ingredients while on the other hand, pestcontrol (bacterial & fungal) in the public healthsector continues to place heavy reliance upon theuse of synthetic chemicals. The present study wascarried out with the objectives to characterizecitrus peel oil in a range of citrus cultivars on the basis of physical, morphological and chemicalcharacters; to document potential use of oil as anantioxidant and antimicrobial additive.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Materials and methods</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i> Plant material collection and extraction of essential oils</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">All citrus plant material used in this study wascollected from the in situ citrus repositorymaintained and authenticated by the citrus experts at the Institute of Horticultural Sciences (IHS),University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan.An exclusive citrus gene pool has been established by the IHS following precise descriptive identi-fication of all available species at PostgraduateAgricultural Research Station (PARS) and Experimental Fruit Garden Square # 9. Maturefruits (in uniform size) of commonly grown citruscultivars viz. sweet oranges (Citrus sinensis Vars.Jaffa, Blood Red and Mosambi), Mandarins(Citrus reticulata Var. kinnow) and grapefruits (Citrus paradisi Var. Shamber) were collected from the Postgraduate Agricultural ResearchStation (PARS) and Experimental Fruit GardenSquare # 9, Institute of Horticultural Sciences, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan.To find out the quantity of essential oil contentsin peel; minimum 5 kilograms of peel of eachcultivars were collected. Conventional hydro-distillation method was used to extract the oil fromcitrus peel. The essential oils were dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate to remove any tracesof water and kept at 4° C until use. Extraction process was carried in triplicate to obtainreproducible results.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Analysis of essential oil</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Five microliters of essential oil were diluted using 0.5 mL of n-hexane (0.5 mL) and analyzed with the Agilent 6890N GC was interfaced with aVG Analytical 70-250s double - focusing massspectrometer apparatus equipped with a 30 m ×0.32 mm fused capillary silica column coated withDB-5. Mass spectrometer was operated in the EImode at 70 eV and in the m/z range 40-500.Carrier gas helium was passed at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min and the injector and the transfer linewere maintained at 250 and 280° C, respectively.The column temperature was kept constant at 60° C for 4 min and then programmed to rise to 240° C at 4° C/min with hold up time of 15 min at 240° C. Retention indices of the separated compounds were determined on the basis of ahomologous series of n-alkanes.The relative proportions of the essential oilconstituents were expressed as percentagesobtained by peak area normalization, and allrelative response factors were taken as one.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In Greece, meat (lamb, beef, chicken) and potatoes in the oven is an ubiquitous dish throughout the winter. Instead of the usual lemon juice, add the juice of one orange. Try this upon your return home and you will it is absolutely delicious! -- and this dish is as delicious as it is simple.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Ingredients</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 large Navel orange, juiced</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3 tablespoons dark French mustard</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3 tablespoons olive oil</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Olive Oil</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4 teaspoons dried oregano</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">salt and pepper to taste</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">10 potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 (3 pound) half leg of lamb, bone-in</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5 cloves garlic </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Directions</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In large bowl, whisk together the orange juice, mustard, olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir the potatoes into the bowl to coat with orange juice mixture. Remove potatoes with a slotted spoon, and place them into a large roasting pan.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cut slits into the lamb meat, and stuff the garlic cloves into the slits. Rub remaining orange juice mixture from bowl all over the lamb, and place the lamb on top of the potatoes in the roasting pan. If there's any remaining orange juice mixture, pour it over the lamb.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Roast in the preheated oven until the potatoes are tender and the lamb is cooked to medium, about 1 hour. A meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat should read 140 degrees Fahrenheit Check every 20 to 30 minutes while roasting, and add a bit of hot water if you find the potatoes are drying out. If the lamb finishes cooking before the potatoes, remove the lamb to a cutting board or serving platter and cover with foil while the potatoes continue to bake in the oven.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Preperartion Time:</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> 30 minutes</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Cooking Time: </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 hour</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Myth: Family farming is Dead and Corporations Rule</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">96 percent of the farms in America are family farms, according to the USDA. The vast majority of the food being produced in America is being produced by family farms. Corporations do play a big part in the industry, but they do not “control” or “rule” the food supply. Farmers are still at the root of the food equation, and are growing healthy, nutritious crops better than they ever have! Technology, efficiency, and commodity prices have definitely increased the size of these family farms, and many of them farm thousands of acres and thousands of animals, but they are still the same value-driven family farms that were around 50-100 years ago! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But a number that does matter to the argument is this one: “99 per cent of farm animals in the US are reared in factory farms, according to the ASPCA.” That’s not good at all, because what you get is this: Think of a farm and what comes to mind? Lambs leaping through a field, pigs rolling around in the mud and cows chomping on lush grass.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sadly, that vision is now a rarity - most chickens, ducks and turkeys are farmed in huge industrial sheds and a whopping 99 per cent of farm animals in the US are reared in factory farms, according to the ASPCA.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Family farming is a full-time job. Farmers cannot just leave for a vacation and have someone else take up their responsibilities. Ron Elliott, a dairy farmer from Gambier, says, "I don't think that we've had a good vacation for at least two or three years. We've only had a few days here and there--but just get up and go somewhere different? No." Don Hawk, a turkey farmer from Howard Township, also explains the daily responsibility of being a farmer. "On a day-to-day basis, the turkeys are a 365 day operation---there are always turkeys on the farm. And that includes doing chores, the necessary chores each and every morning and each and every evening." The typical daily chores on a family farm require a firm understanding of a variety of related areas: mechanics, economics, land-use, veterinary medicine, business, biology, government regulations and computers. For these reasons, it is a myth that farming is an "easy" job requiring few skills to be successful. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Myth: Family Farming is Inefficient and Outdated</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Opinions about "what is efficient" are shaped by the neo-classical economic model of the market economy. This means that questions of environmental stewardship and the social effects of a certain type of economic system are largely ignored. These issues are considered "externalities"---not a concern of the business. On the family farm, land use and quality of life are very important. Farmers, knowing that the land may stay in their family for many generations, are concerned about the quality of land that they leave to their children. For this reason, it is "efficient" for the farmer to consider such methods as crop rotation, no-till and reduced till farming, narrow row spacing, post-emerge herbicides and organic farming.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another so-called economic externality is community life. Family farming communities, characterized by owner-operated farms, often help each other in times of need. Because of the competitive nature of large national companies, they do not have the same kinds of ties to the local community and are less likely to share knowledge and help with one another in the same way that locally owned businesses and family farms are more inclined to do. Farm economies based on a multiplicity of family farms breeds a climate of cooperation and community values. Generally, large-scale, absentee-owned businesses and farms do not consider the effect they have on the local society because they are simply not an integral part of all aspects of the community. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Flavor is also markedly affected by mostly the same climatic factors. The natural sugar and acids in citrus and the ratios of the two determine the intensity of flavor. Mostly the arid, semitropical climates produce stronger richer flavors than the semitropical and tropical areas. The reverse can be true with some high acidic varieties such as kumquats and some mandarins as well as the bitterness of most grapefruit.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">his definition of variety is from Howard B. Frost, a pioneer in citrus breeding and genetics whose 40 years of services at the University of California provided much of our current basic knowledge of citrus genetic behavior, reads: </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Irrespective of mode of origin and method of reproduction or multiplication, a horticultural variety (cultivar) consists of a named or otherwise designated group of plants representing one of the many genetically different kinds of any given cultivated plant species or botanical variety. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In citrus, as with most other fruits, a horticultural variety traces back to a single parent tree or individual mutant branch, now called a ‘clone’. Citrus varieties or cultivars are therefore clonal varieties.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One medium orange
(approximately 154 grams) contains 80 calories, 0 grams of fat, 250
milligrams of potassium, 19 grams of carbohydrate (14 grams of sugar and
3 grams of dietary fiber) as well as 1 gram of protein.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One orange provides 130
percent of your vitamin C needs for the day, 2 percent of vitamin A
needs, 6 percent of calcium and 0 percent of iron.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Oranges also contain
thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B-6, folate, pantothenic acid,
phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, selenium and copper. Because of their
high vitamin C content (over twice the daily need) oranges are
associated with boosting the immune system.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Oranges also contain choline, zeaxanthin, and carotenoids.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Choline is an important
nutrient found in oranges that helps with sleep, muscle movement,
learning and memory. Choline also helps to maintain the structure of
cellular membranes, aids in the transmission of nerve impulses, assists
in the absorption of fat and reduces chronic inflammation.2</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Zeaxanthin and
carotenoids have antioxidant effects and have been shown to have an
inverse relationship with overall cancer rates and prostate cancer in
particular.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">An orange has over 170
different phytochemicals and more than 60 flavonoids, many of which have
been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and strong antioxidant
effects.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Can we take a moment and ask is your family getting their fair share of the quality oranges and juice?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">According to the
American Heart Association, eating higher amounts of a compound found in
citrus fruits like oranges and grapefruit may lower ischemic stroke
risk for women. Those who ate the highest amounts of citrus had a 19
percent lower risk of ischemic stroke than women who consumed the least.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Maintaining a low sodium
intake is essential to lowering blood pressure, however increasing
potassium intake may be just as important because of its vasodilation
effects. According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination
Survey, fewer than 2 percent of US adults meet the daily 4700 mg
recommendation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Also of note, a high potassium intake is associated with a 20 percent decreased risk of dying from all causes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">According to a study
published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, consuming bananas,
oranges and orange juice in the first two years of life may reduce the
risk of developing childhood leukemia.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As an excellent source
of the strong antioxidant vitamin C, oranges can also help combat the
formation of free radicals known to cause cancer. While an adequate
vitamin C intake is necessary and very beneficial as an antioxidant, the
amount necessary to consume for therapeutic purposes for cancer is
beyond oral intake. High fiber intakes from fruits and vegetables are
associated with a lowered risk of colorectal cancer.</span><br />

<br />
March is National Nutrition Month, when the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics reminds everyone to return to the basics of healthy eating. It is also the time of year when the Academy celebrates expertise of registered dietitian nutritionists as the food and nutrition experts.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Eating Disorders Affect Everyone!</b></span><br />
<br />
Eating disorders are not just a problem for girls and women. Boys and men also suffer from eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder. The common misconception that this disease only affects females means that boys often arrive to treatment later in the disease process, according to Nancy Farrell, MS, RDN, a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVPwy9w-8sZJfCNJd7OVwQ3LgQJhfjj-tjo_lHFm5UaBBfFqXfgM7tlU7g5pNhHq3qTfiKcsI-LBDOQlDQqr2yfzdnszKwUoWg5OZwvDwEQ_qQ0B8vuELBj9rfFfvPLFBu4_E84mWmZJc/s1600/eating-disorder.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVPwy9w-8sZJfCNJd7OVwQ3LgQJhfjj-tjo_lHFm5UaBBfFqXfgM7tlU7g5pNhHq3qTfiKcsI-LBDOQlDQqr2yfzdnszKwUoWg5OZwvDwEQ_qQ0B8vuELBj9rfFfvPLFBu4_E84mWmZJc/s1600/eating-disorder.jpg" /></a></div>
Physical signs and behaviors of this disease may be inadvertently missed by loved ones, school staff or sometimes busy health professionals. This coupled with an inadequately nourished brain, delays young boys in acknowledging the disease, and their need to reach out for help. Consequently, males become more ill as more time elapses. As indicated in a 2011 study, and reported by the National Eating Disorders Association, 20 million women and 10 million men suffer from a clinically defined eating disorder at some point in their life. So, for every two women that have an eating disorder, one male also is struggling. Pressure Comes from Media and Peers<br />
<br />
Many parents and activists worry about the messages young girls learn from the media: Are girls learning that thinness defines their self-worth? Do they succumb to peer pressure to look and dress a certain way?<br />
<br />
Yet, boys and men also fall prey to pressure from their peers and from the media's portrayal of the physically strong man. Many strive for athletic bodies with an unrealistically low amount of body fat, says Farrell. "Often boys strive for rock-hard abs," she says. "Without fully understanding the best strategies, or the implications of undesirable practices, males may believe that a lower body fat percentage is the means in reaching that goal." Media outlets, online sources and peer discussions give youth an impression of what standards they should adhere to, and what they should look like, Farrell says. This in turn, can influence how one feels about themselves. Males, as well as females, admit that body weight teasing and bullying was a trigger in beginning their eating disorder behaviors.<br />
<br />
"Parents, health professionals and even school staff are now recognizing that eating disorders are not gender specific," says Farrell. "Know the warning signs, as early detection and intervention lead to the best health outcomes." Signs that a man or adolescent boy has an eating disorder may include being overly focused on body shape, muscles and imperfections. Additional indicators include anabolic steroid use, excessive time spent exercising at the expense of other activities, heading to the restroom immediately after eating and following a strict eating routine.<br />
<br />
Eating disorders affect an individual's emotional and physical health. Many with eating disorders suffer from depression and social withdrawal. These men may also experience constipation, electrolyte disorders, irregular heart rate, dental enamel erosion and low levels of testosterone.<br />
Help is Available<br />
<br />
If you're struggling with your eating, ask for help — even if you don't know if your problem qualifies as an eating disorder. If you're concerned that someone you know has an eating disorder, don't ignore it or think it will get better on its own. Talk to him about your concerns and ask him for his opinion, Farrell suggests. Understand that the primary problem is not food, so simply going on another diet is not the solution. The dangerous eating patterns seen with eating disorders are symptoms of psychological problems.<br />
<br />
The health-care team should involve mental health, nutrition and medical specialists. If your friend or family member recognizes his eating disorder but doesn't know what to do about it, you can help by offering to look for a specialist. If he denies the problem, bring it to his attention again at a later date. In the meantime, learn what you can about eating disorders and make an appointment with a specialist to talk over your concerns and to get support.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Orange Duck is a classic Italian dish in which a duck is roasted and served with an orange sauce. The Italians claim it migrated from Italy to France. Italian poet Antonio Caccitore detailed his first encounter with duck à l'orange outside of Italy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Ingredients: </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For 6 servings</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> 1 duck, 4 to 5 pounds, cleaned and gutted</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> 3 navel orange, fresh and with a thick cut zest</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> 3½ ounces butter</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> salt and pepper to taste</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> ½ cup Grand Marnier liqueur</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Directions</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Season the inside cavity of the duck with a pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon of butter. Also rub the skin with butter and a pinch of salt.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Place a buttered pan over high heat.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Place the duck in the pan and, once the butter has melted, slightly brown the duck. Cover the pan and place in oven to braise slowly at 320° F.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After 1 hour and a half, remove the duck from the pan and hold it over the pan to let from cooking liquid drip off. Set duck aside and keep warm. The meat should be slightly pink.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Peel an orange with a very sharp pairing knife to make 2-inch long strips. Be careful not to remove the white part of rind.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Boil the skins for 6 minutes, drain, then cool. Cut lengthwise into very thin matchsticks. Makes about 1 tbsp.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Soak the strips of orange peel for a couple of hours in the Grand Marnier.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With the same sharp pairing knife, peel oranges in the other two oranges. Make sure to remove the entire peel, white part included.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then cut into sections. Be sure to remove the membrane on either side of each piece.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Put the pan juices from the duck in a saucepan and place over high heat. Stir and cook until the juices have reduced by 2/3.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At this point, add the orange peel and Grand Marnier from the marinade diluted with the orange juice. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Let reduce by half over high heat.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Detach the legs and wings of the duck, without removing the skin. Remove the skin from the breast and cut into fillets. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Arrange the duck meat on a warm serving dish with the breast pieces on top.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cover the duck with hot orange sauce. Garnish with orange sections and serve.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Similar to a Navel orange, but with red-tinged flesh. Contains lycopene (the same phytochemical nutrient present in tomatoes) which gives the pulp its red-orange color. Easy to peel and section; basically seedless.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Less acidic than most Navels; tropically tangy, yet still sweet with notes of cherry, raspberry and cranberry.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Flavor is also markedly affected by mostly the same climatic factors. The natural sugar and acids in citrus and the ratios of the two determine the intensity of flavor. Mostly the arid, semitropical climates produce stronger richer flavors than the semitropical and tropical areas. The reverse can be true with some high acidic varieties such as kumquats and some mandarins as well as the bitterness of most grapefruit.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">his definition of variety is from Howard B. Frost, a pioneer in citrus breeding and genetics whose 40 years of services at the University of California provided much of our current basic knowledge of citrus genetic behavior, reads: </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Irrespective of mode of origin and method of reproduction or multiplication, a horticultural variety (cultivar) consists of a named or otherwise designated group of plants representing one of the many genetically different kinds of any given cultivated plant species or botanical variety. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In citrus, as with most other fruits, a horticultural variety traces back to a single parent tree or individual mutant branch, now called a ‘clone’. Citrus varieties or cultivars are therefore clonal varieties.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We all know the story of cherries and George Washington. The story goes that a young George Washington was about six years old when he was given a hatchet that he enthusiastically used to chop at just about anything in sight. One morning, he even chopped at a cherry tree, eventually cutting it down. When confronted about it by his father, George hesitated but told his father, “I cannot tell a lie.” He admitted to the crime. Rather than punishing George for chopping down the tree, his father said that his son’s honesty was worth more than a thousand trees. It’s meant to be a story that’s a lesson in integrity, and shows one of Washington’s many supposed virtues. But is there any truth to the tale?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First published by the biographer Parson Weems in 1809, ten years after Washington’s death, the story reportedly came from an old, unnamed neighbor who’d supposedly known Washington as a boy. However, it is the only historical source of the story, and as a legitimate source, it isn’t very credible.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cherries are packed with antioxidants. Tart cherries, also called sour cherries, are rich in antioxidant compounds including anthocyanins and quercitin, which may play a role in reducing total body inflammation as well as fighting free radicals.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They soothe sore muscles! Tart cherries have been getting a lot of attention lately based on new research suggesting that they may speed recovery and relieve muscle aches and pains after working out. In one study, one group of participants drank 12 ounces of tart cherry juice, two times per day, seven days before running a long race, while another group drank a placebo cherry-flavored drink. The group that drank the tart cherry juice reported significantly less pain following the race.They're packed with antioxidants.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To help honor George Washington's birthday we chose to add oranges to cherry pie. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Try it with your family and tell us what you think.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Ingredients</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For 8 Servings</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Crust</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> 1⁄2 cup finely ground almonds</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> 1 3⁄4 cups white flour</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> 1⁄2 cup confectioners' sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter or 1⁄2 cup margarine, chilled and cut into small pieces</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> 1 large egg, lightly beaten</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Filling</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> 1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> 2 tablespoons orange liqueur or 1 tablespoon orange extract</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> 1 teaspoon grated orange zest</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Directions</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(<b>Note:</b> If time is short you can use refrigerated pie dough.) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the Crust: Place almonds, flour and sugar in the work bowl of a food processor, fitted with a metal blade. Scatter butter on top of the mixture and pulse just until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add egg and process just until dough gathers in a ball. Divide the dough into two pieces, one slightly larger than the other, and shape into 1-inch-thick discs. Wrap the dough pieces separately in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes. Heat oven to 375º Fahrenheit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the Filling: Combine the cherry pie filling, orange liqueur and orange zest in a medium bowl and mix until thoroughly blended. Place the larger dough on a lightly floured board and roll out into an 11-inch circle. Press the dough into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom and trim the edges. Roll the smaller dough into a 10-inch circle and cut into 10, 3/4-inch-wide strips. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Spoon filling onto the pastry dough in the tart pan and spread to an even thickness. Arrange the dough strips in lattice pattern on top of filling. Gently press the ends into pastry shell and seal with the fingertips. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until pastry is golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Remove the ring of the pan and cool.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Library of Congress says that as stated in the introduction, the federal holiday celebrated on the third Monday in February is not officially called Presidents' Day. Instead, it is Washington's Birthday. There was an attempt in 1968 to officially name it Presidents' Day. However, this suggestion died in committee. Many states, however, choose to call their own celebration on this day "Presidents' Day."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We know that with banks closed, no mail service and most government offices closed this day sure feels like a federal holiday. Well, officially it is. Today official holiday is the celebration of Washington’s Birthday and is not called President’s day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So why do you find that nearly every store is having a President’s Day celebration or sale? Stores are always looking for any reason to have a sale and accuracy isn’t a strong suit when it comes to advertising.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Washington's Birthday was celebrated during his lifetime.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Many across the newly formed United States celebrated Washington's Birthday in the 17th century while George Washington was still alive. However, it wasn't until 1885 that Chester Arthur signed the bill that made it a federal holiday.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Cherries, Cherries, and More Cherries </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Traditionally, many celebrated and continue to celebrate Washington's Birthday with desserts made with cherries. Cherry pie, cherry cake, bread made with cherries, or just a huge bowl of cherries are often enjoyed on this day. Of course, this relates to the apocryphal story that Washington would not tell a lie when asked if he cut down a cherry tree.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Abraham Lincoln's Birthday is not a Federal Holiday</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Even though many states celebrate Abraham Lincoln's birthday concurrently with Washington's birthday, it is not a federally designated holiday.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>The Reading of Washington's Farewell Address</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On February 22nd of almost every year since 1888, Washington's Farewell Address has been read in the US Senate. While this does not happen on Presidents' Day, it is an annual celebration of Washington's Birthday that stems from 1862 when the Address was read as a way to boost morale during the Civil War.</span><br />

It is correct that colloquial English does not contain a rhyming word for orange.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw2lON8bLXQvjbvw6h_LpTkzhQMKgPZVidrzyIl7w0DCpjqBifDSnDQKqVXLY57kAN5b-XKEOw7Z1TNRRvNtIVBoMn0Dv9UUeYg-Uodhfz9fARijInuvsbXQEAX-9NJl9dcrvA6pog66M/s1600/oranges-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="204" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw2lON8bLXQvjbvw6h_LpTkzhQMKgPZVidrzyIl7w0DCpjqBifDSnDQKqVXLY57kAN5b-XKEOw7Z1TNRRvNtIVBoMn0Dv9UUeYg-Uodhfz9fARijInuvsbXQEAX-9NJl9dcrvA6pog66M/s320/oranges-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If we look a bit beyond that here are two examples. Orange rhymes with Blorenge (a mountain in Wales) and sporange (a technical word for a sac where spores are made). Of course, if you want to write a rhyming poem or lyrics about oranges, the scientific or geographic research involved might be more than just a little tough.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Perhaps this why the word orange doesn't feature in any love songs or poems. While flowers are used in many songs fruits are seldom used. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here is an excerpt from a 60 Minutes Interview, October 11, 2010, where Eminem</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> made a claim about the word "orange." “People say that the word orange doesn't rhyme with anything ... I can think of a lot of things that rhyme with orange," said Eminem, seated behind a mixing board at his private recording studio, before effortlessly conjuring an on the spot rap about putting an “orange, four-inch, door hinge in storage" and having "porridge with Geo-rge.” You can judge for yourself if you think that is really a rhyme with the orange in question.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Another word with few rhyming possibilities is silver.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Oxford English Dictionary even weighs in on the subject.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Orange has almost no perfect rhymes. The only word in the 20-volume historical Oxford English Dictionary that rhymes with orange is sporange, a very rare alternative form of sporangium (a botanical term for a part of a fern or similar plant). Silver is another word for which it is almost impossible to find a perfect rhyme: the only candidate is the rare word chilver, which the 20-volume Oxford English Dictionary defines as 'a ewe-lamb' (i.e. a female lamb). Both orange and silver do have half-rhymes, though: the Oxford Rhyming Dictionary gives lozenge as a half-rhyme for orange, for example, and salver as a half-rhyme for silver.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What's the difference between a full rhyme and a half-rhyme? A full and stressed rhyme (e.g. hand / stand) or even an unstressed rhyme (such as handing / standing) contain vowels that are common to both words, while a half-rhyme like orange / lozenge or silver / salver has obvious differences between the vowels in certain syllables. The technical term for a half-rhyme is 'pararhyme'.</span><br />
