When an explorer first brought orchids back from Brazil to England, it caused a such a sensation that newspaper began calling it “orchiddelirium.”

Exploring Nature: Alaska Ice

Even though Alaska has replaced Texas as the largest state, I still am very fond of that sprawling land jutting from Canada and facing Russia across the sea. It is a wonderfully wild place, with rugged mountains, swift-flowing rivers and virgin forests.

Adding a handful of berries can make everything better

There are so many reasons to include blueberries in recipes. Not only are they plentiful in supermarkets and at fruit stands, blueberries often perfectly balance the sweet with the tart in flavor. These little berries also are one of the most antioxidant-rich fruits you can find, plus they are very high in fiber. That makes eating blueberries — whether they’re nestled in pancakes or served atop a slice of cheesecake — a little less indulgent. Blueberries are right at home in many different dishes. Blueberries can make salads sing and desserts light up. They’re equally delightful in breakfasts and snacks. “Honey-Laced Blueberry Parfaits” can be enjoyed any time of day. Made with tasty layers of blueberries, yogurt and angel food cake, these parfaits are light, flavorful and refreshing. To tailor them for patriotic celebrations, add a few red berries, such as raspberries or strawberries, to embrace a red, white and blue theme.
