Pineberries: Fruit looks like white strawberry but tastes like pineapple | Daily Contributor Home » Odd + Weird 31 March 201011 Comments Posted by Sherwin A new kind of fruit that looks like a white strawberry but tastes like a pineapple is going on sale in the UK. Called pineberry, the strange-looking-variety of the popular summer fruit originated in South America where it grew wild. Pineberries will be on sale for five weeks at selected Waitrose branches. Nicki Baggott, Waitrose fruit buyer, said: ”Pineberries offer our customers the chance to add a new fruit into their diet and the berry’s bright appearance can add an unusual decoration to sweet dishes.” Pineberries are slightly smaller than the common strawberries.
Build/Make/Craft/Bake: How-to: Hammered flower and leaf prints Get out the hammer, it's how-to Tuesday and we have some botanical prints to make! I learned this technique, which makes an image using the natural dyes in plants, from my college roommate Sarah. It's great for making cards or simple botanical prints. Actually, you'll need a little more than just a hammer. Here's a supply list: flowers or leaves to printwatercolor or other rough, acid-free paperselection of hammers (including ball-peen or cross-peen, if possible)hard work surface (cutting board, slab of wood, etc.)paper towelsscissorspentweezers or toothpicksacrylic finishing spray (optional) Start by going on a walk or visiting your garden to find leaves and flowers to work with. Then set up your work surface. Next, trim any chunky or squishy bits off of the plants and arrange them on your watercolor paper. Cover the plant with 2-3 layers of paper towels. On the paper towels, sketch the borders of the area you'll need to hammer. Peel back the paper towel to check your progress.

Talk Like A Pirate Day Pirate Map Sep08 by Lindsey Boardman Yarrr! It be Talk Like A Pirate Day time of year again me hearties! Mark your calendars for Alphamom’s favorite holiday on September 19. Last year we made newspaper swords and pirate girl bandana skirts. All you need to make these are some permanent markers, some blue, green and tan acrylic craft paint, an old cotton pillow case and a bit of imagination. I cut open the pillow case and the kids got one side each to make a map from. I taped the material down on the kitchen table with some paper under it to protect the table. There’s no need to color any large areas with the markers. These are just a few of the sweet little drawings that the kids dotted around their maps. Once you think you are done with all your map details, you can paint in the large areas of color. Just a little squeeze of acrylic paint mixed in with a decent amount of water will be enough to stain the material but still allow your drawings to show through.
Food You Can Make in a Coffee Maker Like so many before me, I was once hungry in college. With term papers looming and the dining hall already closed for the night, food had to come from somewhere. That was the night I learned to make ramen in my coffee maker. At first I was nervous, pouring the hot water over noodles in my bowl, covering them, and letting it steep. Eventually, I became more adventurous: cooking the noodles in the carafe; putting the seasoning packet in the basket that normally holds the filter; adding an egg. This was cheap food prepared in as cheap a manner as possible. 1. Put two packets of instant oatmeal into the carafe. A dead simple recipe, but with the twist of adding a tea bag for flavor. 2. Fill a coffee filter with six broccoli florets. Clever coffee maker cooks will find a way to whip up a cheese sauce to go with this. 3. Put 1/2 cup of instant rice per person in the coffee maker. Rice cookers are for squares. 4. Place the eggs in the coffee pot. 5. Place chicken breast in coffee maker. 6. 7.
Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart Bread I’m sorry. I know it’s Monday morning and you probably came here for some pretty pictures of food that you could glance at, and then move on with your day… and here I go thrusting warm, soft cinnamon sugar bread in your face.

This bread hits all the comfort spots in my soul. I’m sorry and you’re welcome and I love you. Let’s start at the beginning. I did this all without the use of a stand mixer and dough hook. This dough can be made and left to rise , then refrigerated overnight for use in the morning. This is the dough just before it’s left to rise. After the dough has rested and risen for an hour, I knead it in a few tablespoons of flour. This is the part in the bread process where you can wrap the dough and place it in the fridge to rest overnight. I worked with my dough right away. I can’t even deal.

Dance is a major part of musical culture; people push the boundaries of what the body can do to interpret the sentiment of a particular song. Michael Jackson ignited a dance craze when he first performed the Moonwalk in 1983. But MJ's performance was really just a culmination of an evolution of dance steps that came from jazz legend Cab Calloway, tap dancer Bill Bailey, and even French mime, Marcel Marceau.
