JackFruit
|
Have you tried jackfruit yet? If not, do you even know what it is?
|
|
It’s a healthy vegan meat replacement and it’s one of the biggest food trends among vegetarians, vegans and even meat lovers. Best of all, it's the key to making an insanely delicious barbecue pulled "pork" sandwich that you won't believe is vegan.
|
|
|
|
|
A relative of figs and breadfruit, jackfruit grows in tropical areas of Southeast Asia, Brazil and Africa. While it is technically a fruit, its consistency is similar to that of chicken or pork. It has a fairly neutral taste when young, so it takes on the flavor of whatever sauce or seasoning you pair it with. It has a stringy consistency that works especially well with tangy barbecue sauce.
|
|
Unlike animal sources of protein, jackfruit contains no saturated fat or cholesterol, it's light in sodium, and is also low in calories, with just 20 per a 2.65-ounce serving. Additionally, jackfruit contains 3 grams of fiber per serving, as well as 110 milligrams of potassium, heart-healthy nutrients that many of us are not getting enough of.

New Year's Eve brings a gala dance and a sparkling cider toast at midnight. This year the dance will be free. People are encouraged to bring snacks for a pot luck table. The smoothie bar will be open where you can purchase pizza, popcorn and other goodies.

A word on recycling and trash removal:
For recycling, please use the yellow and blue containers located throughout Sunsport.
|
- The yellow containers are for paper and flattened cardboard
- The blue containers are for aluminum cans, glass, juice boxes, and plastics except styrofoam, bags, and utensils.
- Deposit other trash in trash cans.
|
You may leave small yellow and blue bins or bags roadside at you lot, but not overnight. You may also use the main dumpster area.
|
|
However, please place discarded carpeting, furniture, appliances, or any other large item on the side of the roadway near your lot, not in the dumpster. The maintenance team will pick up such large items.
|
|
Please secure all trash cans tightly since raccoons are skilled at opening containers and making large messes. Thanks.
|
|

- " Any travel trailer or RV brought onto a site at Sunsport must be driven in under its own power or towed in by a small truck or car and have current license plates or be inspected by the Maintenance Team Leader or the Team Leader's designee to assure that it can be removed easily."
- "Anyone wishing to operate an ongoing business selling to Sunsport guests must submit a written request for approval by the Board and, prior to operation, must comply with Florida State regulations."

Bunchosia argentea
One of the most fascinating exotic fruit at Sunsport, as amazing as Miracle fruit, Peanut Butter Fruit is loved by both kids and adults. Yes, it tastes exactly like peanut butter! Sweet, soft pulp with peanut flavor. The tree is small in size, grows 10-15 ft max, or can be kept as a bush. Starts fruiting within 2-3 years from seed! Keep it in a pot if you have limited space, can be grown indoors, too.
This attractive tree has clusters of yellow flowers that are followed by an abundance of dark red fruit to around 1". The rich, sweet flesh has a texture similar to peanut butter. The fruit can be eaten fresh or made into milk shakes.

|
|
|
|
|
Five Nudes, the largest painting featuring female nudes by Chinese-French artist Sanyu, is returning to the auction market next month, with an estimate of HK$250 million (about US$32 million).
|
|
|
|
|
The painting, circa 1955, sold for HK$128 million at Ravenel Auction Hong Kong in 2011, setting a record for Sanyu and a record for any oil painting by a Chinese artist at that time.
