Currants-C


Since Tropicana came out with their new, minimal packaging, I started to feel like even more people were drinking orange juice. I have vague memories, from years past, that pastuarized OJ was the only source of Vitamin-C. Probably the result of cunning marketing aimed at us putting all our faith into one cash crop.
Currants-C, a play on words to emphasize the fact that Currants are a great source of Vitamin-C.
Here's a few more:
Parsley
Brocoli
Bell pepper
Strawberry
Citrus of any kind
Papaya
Cauliflower
Kale
Mustard Greens
Brussel Sprouts

Currants, themselves, is the name given to two discinct fruit. 1-Dried Zante Grapes. 2-Fresh berry related to gooseberry, either red or black in color.

So, the next time you might want to give your immune system a boost, and don't want to buy packaged food, you can munch slowly on a couple of brussel sprouts and know that you're fortified. Probably not so good for mixing your mismosa.

Doubloon and Wish Currency




This image was taken Feburary 2006, New Orleans East, New Orleans across the street from my mom's rental property, which has since been demolished due to Katrina's damage. This picture of her neighbors lawn was taken when we visited my mom's house and my former residence at 4746-48 Eastview St. These are things sprawled across their lawn after Katrina wreaked havoc over there. For those who don't know..Doubloons are highly desirable trinkets thrown off floats at Mardi Gras. Once Mardi Gras is over and the parades have passed, the doubloons just become a souvenirs and memories. Doubloons are also a old form of currency (gold coins) used in countries such as Spain and France.
