Fruit Salad

| 117 Comments | No TrackBacks

Ingrida keeps telling me that I need to eat more healthily.

So the other night I made myself some fruit salad - and she was right! Fruit salad is delicious!

Wow!

For those of you who don't think you'd like fruit salad, here's my recipe:

4 firm apricots (best if slightly unripe)
1/4 cup of walnut halves
4 whole dates
1/4 cup Acacia honey (for the dressing)
1 banana
1/4 lb. butter
1 package of back bacon
Single cream to taste

First, slice the apricots into eighths. Sauté the apricots on high heat until they begin to brown, then turn the heat down to medium, throw on the walnuts and shake the pan.

Pit the dates, then throw them in as well. Drizzle the 1/4 cup of Acacia honey over top and leave the mixture to sizzle.

While this is sizzling away, peel and slice your banana, open up your package of bacon and separate the slices.

Remove the apricot/walnut/date/honey mixture, pour into your serving bowl and set aside.

It should look something like this:

Now line your pan with rashers of back bacon.

Fry these on high heat until they need to be turned, maybe three or four minutes, then turn the heat down to low, flip them and arrange the banana slices on top, like so:

Let this heat until the bacon is cooked how you like it; some like crispy, some chewy. I'm normally a crispy bacon guy, but this recipe feels like more of a soft bacon recipe.

Anyway, I made the bacon soft when I made this the first time, and it was gorgeous.

When the bacon and bananas have cooked up, stir them into the apricot/walnut mixture. It should look something like this:

Finally, mount with cream:

And enjoy!

Note from Ingrida:

I'd just like to confirm that I was not present at the time of this fruitful [sic] profanity, and that I have no legal capacity (yet) to desist Nathan from pursuing this abominably gluttonous behaviour...

However, this does remind me of an evening out in Edinburgh with Mara and Mark a few summers ago. Mark and Nathan attempted to eat a deep-fried Mars bar (at your peril click here for an explanation) only to be rendered rather comatose from the sheer amount of calories. Tee hee!

You know, Ingrida, I'd say I'm rendered slightly nauseated just by the memory of the deep fried Mars bar, but then I now know I was actually pregnant at the time, so...

I must admit, it sounds yummy until the bacon and banana part...ugh.

very healthy. (!) sounds like something I'D be craving! Luckily I crave actual fruit salad. :)

Crystal, it was delicious!

And the healthiest food is what your body craves.

Ed. note: The above statement is not true for heroin junkies or fans of Celine Dion.

If you are craving more fruit, don't forget that chocolate-covered raisins are DELICIOUS. And heart healthy.

Looks amazing--maybe you should submitt the recipe in a contest (only a man with a child's heart would create this recipe) !!

Love Nadine

PS. accidently posted on rong log entry.

I have to say - it looks delicious!

agreed, Mara ... until the bacon and banana part. Actually, the banana sounds pretty good! But then again, I'm pregnant. Ask me again after the baby's born, and I'll probably think differently. :)

Yeah, it does look healthy. And since I have a cholesterol level of 35, the bacon would be a good way of getting it back into the normal ramge (39-110). After years of foolishly eating oatmeal, whole wheat bread, fruits, vegetables, etc, I need something to undo all that damage.

Funny, I was thinking along the same lines. Adam

Great post full of useful tips! My site is fairly new and I am also having a hard time getting my readers to leave comments. Analytics shows they are coming to the site but I have a feeling “nobody wants to be first”.

An impressive share, I just given this onto a colleague who was doing a little analysis on this. And he in fact bought me breakfast because I found it for him.. smile.

Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.

Everyone complains about the Governmt doing nothing, but in reality it's us doing nothing. If the people of this country would make a stand and make a demand for what is correct then things would finally change. It's tiring hearing about what's incorrect with our country without action. Stand up for what you believe in.

Sports Handicapping is an art of both knowing the odds and the teams. The easiest one to handicap has always been hockey. You also need to make sure you are looking at the weather. If you really look at all of the factors it goes from betting to banking. It isn't that easy to be a sports handicapper, but it's still fun!

Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

If you're still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you'll know which is right for you.

Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

I'll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

Sorry for the huge review, but I'm really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it's the right choice for you.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

Pretty insightful submit. I never thought who's was this easy naturally. I had spent a good deal of time in search of anyone to explain this topic clearly and you are clearly the only person that ever did that. Kudos for your requirements! Thanks

Stubbmled accross your web site and chose to enjoy a quick study, not things i usually do, however found this blog excellent. Great to find out an internet site which includes great content, and in actual fact makes some sense. Anyway, great article.

All I hear is often a few whining about the one thing which you may repair just in case you werent too busy trying to find attention.
