Welcome to Awakenings

Life IS history in the making. Every word we say, everything we do becomes history the moment it is said or done. Life void of memories leaves nothing but emptiness. For those who might consider history boring, think again: It is who we are, what we do and why we are here. We are certainly individuals in our thoughts and deeds but we all germinated from seeds planted long, long ago.

Sweet, Rich & Creamy

Foodie fun on Mother's Day this year hosts a sweet, rich, creamy pie. What's so neat about this pie is its versatility. The creamy filling can be enhanced with crushed pineapple or diced bananas. For the 'bed' in which the creamy goodness lies, it can be traditional graham cracker crust, chocolate cookie crumb crust or perhaps a coconut crust. Even better is you are not limited just to it being a traditional pie!

Five Food Finds about Coconuts

  • The coconut is not a nut.  In fact, it isn’t a fruit either.  It is a seed!
  • Coconut oils accelerate the metabolism.  Of course, if you put them in pie you may not notice the effect.
  • The sailors aboard Vasco de Gama’s ships gave the coconut its name.  They called it “Coco”, named after a grimacing face or hobgoblin.
  • The water from the coconut has traditionally been used when commercial IV solutions of plasma have not been available.
  • Coconut oils also contain four growth hormones, called cytokinins, and three sets of chromosomes – or triploids – that help the development of many organisms. [Source: Foodimentary]
