Who can identify this tree/shrub?

No one in my neighborhood can figure out what this is. Please see plant in center of photo with large ovate leaves (not agave in foreground or podacarpus in background). Thanks!

It looks like its in the rubber tree family or possibly the Croton family. Probably a smaller variety of one of these two.

Is there anywhere in the UK that you can buy Tequiza or order it on-line from?

I was reminising the days of living in San Antonio, Texas and sitting out in the yard with the sun beating down drinking Tequiza (Beer made with blue agave nectar and natural tequila and lime flavours. Made by budweiser) and a thought came too me. Can i get it over here in England. I've looked in all the hight street shops and failed miserably, so i am asking your help. Does anyone know anywhere i might be able to get hold of some, whether high street, cash and carry or by ordering online. If you can help with this and i can get some i might even shout you a beer. Thanks.

Reply:Point Loma Seafoods is, hands down, one of the best places I've ever eaten. Their regular fish sandwich is awesome and it is 6 or 7 dollars. The atmosphere is a fish-market with a dining area with picnic areas.



Rubio's is also great - the fish tacos are wonderful and they have locations everywhere!!!
Reply:Okay, here's my short list:

Phil's BBQ - THE BEST, always a line! Not to pricey



Corvette Diner - 50's style, cute, good burgers, free entertainment, be prepared to have things tossed at you (straws, bubblegum, etc)



Hodad's - surfer vibe, Great food and prices



Sipz - vegetarian, ok prices, creative food - NO meat



St. Tropez - great for breakfast %26amp; lunch, best pastries



Rei Do Gado - pricey, all you can eat, LOTS %26amp; LOTS of meat, but very good



Not on the list

Nicky Rotten's (won best SD bar), Great burgers



Dick's Last Resort - great drinks, interesting atmosphere, good for getting a little wild (at least on the weekends)

How did I eat yesterday?

Breakfast: 1/2 cup oatmeal with peanut butter, agave nectar

Snack: Strawberries and glass of soymilk w/brown rice protein powder

Lunch: Soynutt butter sandwhich on sprouted whole grain bread with blackberries in between

Snack: Baby carrots w/hummus

Dinner: 5oz tofu on sprouted hemp bread

Snack: Cup of mixed fruit w/ vegan whipped cream

How did I eat yesterday?
You did really good except you didn't eat enough veggies. Add more veggies into your daily food intake. Also if you are a woman, you may not want to consume that much soy on a daily basis.



Other then just adding more veggies, you did great: great on the fruit, the whole grains, protein, having five small meals a day..............



Other things you may want to consider adding to your diet: almonds, walnuts, beans (black, white, lentils, chick peas), quinoa, brown rice, eggs (if your not vegan)

Today I ate



Breakfast 1/2 cup oatmeal w/ agave nectar and 2 Tbsp peanut butter 550 cal



Lunch: Hummus sandwhich with protein shake 450 cal



Dinner: Tofu sandwhich on sprouted bread 500 cal



I never eat till im full but till im satisfied.



Im trying to gain weight and my nutritionist told me to include 2-3 small snacks in between those meals. But I never feel hungry to..so yesterday when I started to feel a little hungry a couple hours after lunch I tried by having one baby carrot and then I felt full all night but I ate dinner because I knew I had to. Is this bad? Is this because I shrunk my stomach so small when dieting and my body is used to smaller portions.

Im having trouble eating?
no, its not bad. wut i wuld do is eat a small proportion extra each day, and add on to it as the week passes. that way ur body will b used 2 it! jus no when 2 stop addin! ; )
Reply:if you are having trouble with these portions you might want to split up your food a little bit more possibly even into 7 smaller "meals". this might help you body adjust to the food intake so that you will be able to slowly work up to just 3 big meals w/ 2 snacks.



but it also depends on how active you are if you don't burn a lot of calories you won't need a lot of calories

Alex is a guy I like?

We both like each other, but sometimes I dont give the best examples of myself. I'll sometimes come across totally diffrent from what I am. I might do something totally impressive or cute but then I'll slip up and pass the wrong message with the little things I do or say, ushually negitive.



For example:

1.His friend knocked a large bow I agave him off his head and I called his friend stupid without thinking.

2. He hugs a girl I know and I watch the girl walk off, almost possessively.

3. I'll acidently put him down like "your dad actually times you?"

and I'm sur ethere are more

I'm really not liek any of that, I'm just so careless cause I'm nervous? Is there any hope that he can ove rlook these miscomunicated messages? :(

Reply:Listen, what you are doing is okay. You know everybody does mistakes. What you need to do is that don't feel really bad about it and explain to Alex that the things you do are not really mean, and make sure you apologise when you do such a thing. Poeple get mad and do things like this all the time esppecially lovers. So make sure you talk to him and tell him how you feel and that you are not really looking down on him or anything.

Good luck :)

Reply:um i thin kthe things you are doing aren't neccesaraly misleading, i mean i am not in your position so i don''t know what kind of signals he is sending back but if they are negative as well i would say def. work on that. but if you notice he doesn't care i think thats just you being you ya know? sometimes it does become a habbit for ppl to call ppl stupid or question things like yr dad times you

its just your way of carring on a convo so i ersonally don't think yr doing anything wrong but i would say if you are unhappy with the way you have been acting do something about it and take control over the things that come out of your mouth

I lost my favorite energy bar recipe, does anyone have a similar one?

My favorite energy bar recipe had in it, among other things: Mixed nuts (crushed), sessame,flax and millet seeds, rice syrup, agave, evaporated cane juice, (It may have had some sugar, but I forget), coco powder, cinnamon, salt . It was just mixed up and patted between two sheets of waxed paper, not baked or anything. It had no dried fruit that I can remember. The ingredients were all Organic/Whole/Natural, as I remember them. It may have had in it a protine powder or other spices or flavorings, but it's been two years since I saw it, and I just can't remember. Anyone? Thank you.

I lost my favorite energy bar recipe, does anyone have a similar one?
these have been in my recipe box for a while and are close to what you are looking for, but not exact... I always tell myself that I am going to make homemade bars before i go hiking or biking...alas i always forget and have to stop at whole foods the night before...

you should be able to get all the ingredients at whole foods or trader joes...

good luck:)

* 1/2 cup raisins or dried cranberries

* 1 cup dried blueberries

* 3/4 cup agave nectar, maple syrup or molasses

* cinnamon, cardamom or nutmeg (optional)



Preheat oven to 275°F.



Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. The mixture will be somewhat sticky. Using wet fingers press it down into a 7x11-inch baking dish that has been sprayed with canola oil spray. Bake for 30 minutes to one hour depending on how toasty you prefer it. Cool and then cut into 16 pieces. Store in your refrigerator.

2 egg whites

1 cup oat bran



Directions:



Add figs, honey, orange juice and 2 tbsp. lemon juice to food processor and mix on "chop" setting until figs are finely cut. Set aside. Put remaining ingredients (except oat bran) in mixing bowl. Beat with electric mixer for 3-4 minutes at medium speed. Add fig mixture until everything blends. Roll 20-24 balls and coat with oat bran poured on plate. Place balls on pan and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until warm and a bit puffy. Place in refrigerator to harden.

Does Mexico have an FDA or Health Dept?

I'm not trying to insult Mexico or anything but when I went there to visit my husbands family we went to 2 different buther shops. One of them the guy like just grabbed the mean with no gloves or anything and then when he weighed the meat, he just put it on the metal (which still had the last meats blood on it) without any paper or anything. The other butcher shop we went to was even worse! He like had the head of a pig just sitting there on the counter. Also he had like huge pieces of meat hanging from hooks dripping blood on to the floor. I was just so shocked it actually like made me sick. Also I noticed over there they just sell estrogen over the counter without any prescription or anything...ALSO, my husbands aunt gave my father-in-law what she called "diabetic" honey which was supposed to be made from Agave (the plant they use to make tequila). Well this "diabetic" honey, as it was advertised, had 24 grams of sugar per serving. So this is why I was wondering this.

Does Mexico have an FDA or Health Dept?
Sounds like you had quite the culture shock on your visit. They do have health departments and regulations, but it is hard to enforce anything.



Many of the butcher shops in Mexico slaughter their meats fresh that day. This is also why Mexicans tend to cook everything to "well-done."



There are many grocery stores in Mexico that are like modern American supermarkets, and serve meat in that style.



You know, this is kind of funny, because I work in the restaurant industry, and honestly, you would be freaked out if you saw some of the stuff American butchers do behind those shiny, refrigerator lined walls - as well as in the slaughter houses.



When I went to Mexico, I took a "when in Rome" mentality, and realized that the meat was not only fresh, but also lacked many of the bizarre additives, and was not sitting on a bloody meat diaper for up to two week, stewing in its own funk.



Killed that day, cooked that day, eaten that day. I loved it.

Reply:Cocowash...what you write is stupid, and is false.



And to the asker:



Yes, México has a health department, and the true is that you lived an experience rare in cities and in tha vast mayority of towns.



http://portal.salud.gob.mx/



http://bibliotecas.salud.gob.mx/greensto...



In fact, in most cities the meat is for sale in big stores, like HEB, Wallmart, Soriana, with all the health department regulations followed. The butchers always are with their hair encovered, gloves, dressing gown and the scales are prepared to be used with disposable dishes.



Yes, we have too the equivalent of the FDA, and makes a good work.



And yes, our products has labels, nutrition facts and follows regulations.



Where in hell did you stay??? why didn′t you name the city??? Just name the city, or where in in the middle of nothing, or in the Lacandona forest???



We are in the XXI century. Even in the poorest towns people try to be clean and healthy.



If you found something like that.... why didn′t you denounce it?? after all, you were not totally lost, your husband′s relatves live there.



I suspect that you try to discredit our culture, as if I spoke now of the type of feeding that you have, the kind of cakes, candies and other foods that maintain many of you tremendously fat.

Is this proof that 1+1=3?

A friend agave me this puzzling proof that 1=1=3. It sounds stupid but look:

x = y

-x2= -xy

x2 - y2 = x2 - xy

(x + y)(x - y) = x(x - y)

x + y = x

1 + 1 =2

2 = 1

I can't believe it!



PS the "2" at the end is a "squared."

Is this proof that 1+1=3?
You have a couple of typos, I think. As for the "proof", dividing by x - y is dividing by zero. That is a no-no. (In other words, a * 0 = b * 0 does not imply a = b.)
Reply:IF X=Y AND XPLUS Y = X THEN X=0 AND Y= 0 OR YOU ARE NOT WRITING EQUATIONS, NOT MAKING TRUE STATEMENTS Report It
Reply:This really makes no sense. A proof is valid if and only if logic leads you from one step to another. This is a bunch of unrelated statements, the last of which is incorrect.
Reply:The step where you divided both sides by x - y is valid in general, but it isn't valid here:



Recall that in the initial step, x = y. If x = y, then x - y = 0.



So in the step where you cancelled the x-y on both sides, both sides were divided by 0, which is invalid in our number system.



Or to put it another way, once you do the impossible, anything can happen! :D
Reply:in Algebra when a answer equals 2 numbers such as 5=3 it is a false statement! 2=1 is not correct algebra

Are my tequila experts out there?

Okay, this is what I have



1 Don Julio - Anejo - 100% de Agave



1 Don Julio - Reposado - 100% de Agave



1 Gazadores - Reposado - 100% de Agave and the box says Agave Azul.



2 Suaza - Anejo - 100% Puro de Agave



Tequila Herradura - Reposado - 100% de Agave



What can you tell me about these makers and what the cost is for each? My mother gave about 10 away over the years and this is what we have left. Can I use any of these for cocktails like Margaritas? Thank you all so much.

Are my tequila experts out there?
First thing is how they been stored? Out of sunlight I hope.



Don Julio is a top shelf brand, best sipped straight. You can make cocktails out of them if you have to, but only after the run-of-the-mill Sauza is gone.



Use up the Sauza on cocktails because it is pretty awful by itself, and the worst of the group. BUT, if you take a lime, peel off a bit of the skin with a veg. peeler and throw it in the bottle, you'll infuse it with flavor. Give it a try. Also besides margaritas, sauza is good for a tequila sunrise, and as a long island iced tea ingredient.



I'd say after Don Julio the next best one you've got is Tequila Herradura.



I have never tried Gazadores, but personally I like the Reposado, so seems like you got a really good collection of Tequilas going on there.



remember, always sweeten Margaritas with sugar water (1 cup sugar and 1 cup water) that's been boiled for a minute (let it cool down before you use it).



...If any more are being given away, save me some!
Reply:Yes you can and the agave is the plant used, nice drinks.
Reply:Don Julio are nice tequilas from Los Altos de Jalisco, the Gonzales family owned the brand but sold it a few years back to Cuervo. Don Julio Anejo around 50.00 and Reposado around 40.



Cazadores (C not G) is also from Los Altos de Jalisco, the Banuelos owned this one but Barcardi bought it. It is good tequila for mixing and will be around 30.00



Sauza is not one I drink or recommend



Herradura is a great Tequila from the Tequila region, another that has been sold, used to be owned by the Romo family and now it is owned by Brown Forman.



My favorite tequilas are Casa Noble and Tesoro, if you want the best in your collection you should by these.
Reply:I'm no tequila conosuir. But there's a bottle of Roposado here that's pretty delicious and is just waiting for tomorrow's sure to be loco fiesta. In Ireland. Cuervo margerita: 1.5 parts tequila, 1 part triple sec, I part fresh lime juice. Shaken with ice, served in a lime rimmed glass.
Reply:Well you have some good ones there. Assuming all are 750ml bottles, you're looking at $30-50 per bottle. Check my link if you want exact prices from a competitive retailer.



Tequilas are graded both by whether it's 100% agave (the good stuff) or not (the cheap stuff like most Cuervos) as well as by aging. All yours are 100% agave, so that means they are all very good tequilas, althhough the Sauza noticeably less so, but probably one of their best ones.



If you've had them for 10+ years they should still be fine unless they've been kept in harsh light or temperature conditions.



Aging classifications are blanco (not aged), reposado (aged about 6 months) and anejo (aged 12-18 months). You also can get special reserves aged even longer.



Anejos generally are best sipped, as they are kind of a waste in margaritas. They are the most expensive.



Reposados are good sipped or in margaritas.



Blancos, which your Sauza could be, are good shot or in margaritas.



The Sauza is probably the least good of the ones you have, and the Don Julios are the best.
Reply:Using them for making Margaritas would be a shame. Just straight, no ice is the way to go with tose.

I would say their price should all be in the same range. Here in Mexico around US$ 40.00.

DEBIT CARD AGE help?

how old do you ahve to eb fro a debit card?

I went ot Washington Mutual and tehy only agave me an ATM card

tehy wouldnt giv me a debit card

DEBIT CARD AGE help?
Debit cards are usually issued by Visa or Mastercard and all Visa/MC cards require a legal contract to use (whether debit or credit).



In the US you cannot legally sign a contract until you are 18 years old.



If you are over 18, then WAMU wants to see if you can be responsible (like not overdrawing your account) for a few months before they issue you a debit card.



Hope that helps
Reply:Different banks have different policies. Where I live there is a bank in town that will allow a 16 year old to have a debit card attached to a checking account. Another bank in town won't issue anything but a savings account to a minor so they don't even get an ATM card! So you really just have to shop around.
Reply:I don't know the official age but honestly I think it depends on who helps you. Some people are nice and they will give you one and other people wont. I was able to get one from Wells Fargo when I was sixteen but my friend was not able to. Try Wells Fargo or Bank of America or you can have a parents name on the account then they should give you a debit card no matter what if you have your parents ok.

How does this sound for breakfast?
sounds good, but if you're trying to lose weight, i would leave the coconut out. (even if it is unsweetened), otherwise sounds nice! :-)

I say go with the orginal

Eggs, bacon, sausage, orange juice.



or Cereal even though it doesnt do anything for your energy nor your health.

But you can get better quality tequila at the same price as Patron would cost you here.

What is this tree?

It's the one in the center of the photo, not the agave in the foreground, or the podacarpus in the background. I'm thinking some kind of rubber plant? Thanks!

What is this tree?
This appears to be Ficus elastica, the rubber tree. You might take close up photos of the end of the limbs and post those. See if this looks like it:

Reply:WELL ITS VERY BEAUTIFUL

BUT BELEIE IT OR NOT ITS AN OAK TREE I EVEN RESEARCHED IT I WAS SUPRISED TOO
Reply:I would agree with the rubber tree - if you look closely at the photo of the fiddle-leaf fig, the base of the leaf is "eared", meaning it has two lobes. The plant in your original photo doesn't have these, but come straight in to the petiole (stem) of the leaf.
Reply:Si. I'd say elastica, but I'm no Ficus expert. Although I would suggest it's a cultivar - some striking veination you don't usually get on straight species elastica.
