Quotes of the Day

The best way to begin to meet new people is through the people you already know--your friends, family, and colleagues. Ask an acquaintance out for coffee or entertain friends at home. Join a community club or a volunteer organization. Invite friends to a sporting event, park, museum, book club, concert, or festival and suggest they bring friends too. Two simple rules for meeting people: Entertain once a week without fail, and accept all invitations. [2004] - Nicholas Boothman

Studies on cherries, raspberries, and strawberries suggest that most of their nutrition is retained even when frozen. [2015] - Michael Greger
