Mwangaza Children’s Choir will be sharing their talents at New Hope United Methodist Church located at 5125 Shattalon Drive, Winston-Salem, N.C. THIS FRIDAY, February 18 – 7:00 p.m. This is a group of 20 spirited and talented children, ages 9-14, who represent the orphaned and poverty-stricken youth of Uganda. The children tour on behalf of Africa Renewal Ministries (ARM) to worship, minister and share their message of hope through song and dance. Mwangaza (m-wahn-gah’-zah) is the Swahili word for “shining light”. The choir is a missionary and fundraising branch of Africa Renewal Ministries which performs original Ugandan music that represents the country’s rich and deep-rooted culture. Their music promises to be a real blessing to everyone who comes.

Achiote Glazed Pork Chops

This was my first attempt at making anything with Achiote Paste (available at many Mexican grocery stores).  They came out pretty good!  If you want to take a stab at it, here's the recipe I (mostly) followed.


Ingredients:
2 pork chops
½ onion, chopped
1 clove garlic
2 tablespoons achiote paste
1 can ancho-chilies (I did not use these because of the heat)
1 orange, juiced
½ cup olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. For pork chop marinade, blend onion, garlic, achiote paste, ancho-chiles, orange juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth. Marinate pork chop for a minimum of 30 minutes (maximum 6 hours).

2. Grill or pan fry pork chops to medium rare. Let rest 10-15 mins. before serving.

Save Money by Keeping Your Groceries Fresh Longer

Rice in your salt shaker?  Buttering up your cheese?  A bay leaf in your flour?  These are just a few ways to keep your perishables from perishing too quickly!  Here's the scoop from Shine:

Dr. Ski Summarizes Everything!

Take Aways:
  1. Drink 16 oz of water every morning before you eat or drink anything else.
  2. The three Week Let-Down: you will plateau here, it's going to happen.  Don't lose hope when between  3-5 weeks you stop losing weight.  Push through this, your inch/weight loss will resume!
  3. Fiber...Fiber...Fiber   25 grams for women, 35 grams per day for men.  At least 30% should be soluble fiber.
  4. Weigh the risk vs. benefit of everything you eat.  When you are getting ready to eat that high calorie treat, remember the exercise that you will have to do to burn it off.  Is it still worth it?
  5. Exercise for inch loss and reduction of inflammation.
  6. View food as your medecine!
