The Biggest Fire Since the Great Fire of London
Very nice article. I've never heard of this fire. Then again, we don't hear about a lot that happens on the other side of the Atlantic.

The Unique 31 Herbal Oil Review for Headaches and Pain Relief
That's amazingly quick Frank, and just goes to show how good these things can be. There's a lot to be said for so-called alternative therapies.

Children Can Change the World Before Bedtime Book

Children Can Change the World Before Bedtime Book
I agree with you that fiction reading is definitely not the only way to feed a child's imagination and creativity. As a child I much preferred non-fiction, or at least books based on real life adventure and usefulness. I still do.

What Is Plantain Flour - Gluten Free Plantain Flour Made From Plantain Bananas
Hi Frank, thanks! I agree, banana skins are great ingredients of kitchen compost. They are edible too, the skin of ripe bananas are liked by animals like cows. The green banana skins are more tasty and healthy, and we use them to make stir fries.

Review: How Chile Came to New Mexico, Bilingual Book by Rudolfo Anaya, Nasario Garcia, Nicolas Otero

What Is Plantain Flour - Gluten Free Plantain Flour Made From Plantain Bananas
I did not know of the magnesium content, but the presence of both potassium and magnesium explains why banana skins are so important as ingredients of kitchen compost. They give much back to the soil.

What Is Plantain Flour - Gluten Free Plantain Flour Made From Plantain Bananas
Hi Frank, thanks again! Other than potassium, bananas also provide a good amount of magnesium, a nutrient that is usually overlooked, but which is very much essential to prevent cell damage.
