LIGHTSIDE (Joke)

An elderly lady had just returned to her home from church services when an intruder startled her. She caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables and yelled, "Stop! Acts 2:38" (what she read in the bible that night).

The burglar stopped in his tracks. The woman called the police and explained what she had done.

FOOD TIPS

PEPPER
Pepper is the number position in spice. We may think salt is; However salt is not a spice but is a mineral.

The most popular types of peppercorns are black, white, green and pink. They are produced by harvesting the berries before they are fully ripe and drying them.

The best flavour and aroma is obtained by freshly grinding them directly on the dish you are preparing. Pre-ground spices always lose their freshness and ability to season as time passes.

One of the best vegetables you can eat is a sweet potato. They are loaded with vitamin A, arytenoids, vitamin C, potassium and fibre. You can bake and then mix in crushed pineapple for sweetness.

Bananas contain vitamin B6, vitamin C, and potassium.
