One of the more interesting things in the Freshwater aquarium world is the flower shrimp. I decided to photograph my personal shrimp . Flower shrimp open appendages on their arms wide like a flower to capture food particles. They are filter feeders. They then close the flower and feed it into their mouth. They are easy to care for so long as you have community fish, preferably live plants, and nothing aggressive.
High Fructose Corn Syrup Or Sugar?
Posted: April 27, 2013 in HealthTags: Food Additives, Food Drink and Nutrition, Fructose, Health, High-fructose corn syrup, Sugar, Sugar substitute, Sweeteners
This article explains in great detail how your body interacts with the two different types of sweeteners. The less sugar you take in the healthier you will be. However, I still advise to stay away from anything artificial or man-made. Sugar is from nature. All one has to do is watch there consumption.

Cotton Top Tamarins are small, quick, and extremely hard to photograph. You need patience with these little monkeys. If you don’t believe me, give it a shot. These photos were taken at Moody Gardens. http://www.moodygardens.com/

Living in Houston one can come into contact with many different nationalities, Columbian being one of them. The Columbian people area proud people and rightfully so. They have some of the best food in the World. Today, I decided to cook the Columbian Stew known as Sancocho. You can make it with different meats, so I chose pork. This stew has the following vegetables,roots, and spices:
Yucca Root, Guineo-Banana, Potato, Auyuma-Pumpkin squash, tomato, onions, garlic, paprika, cilantro(coriander), and salt.
I love the exotic non-native mixture. These roots and vegetables are something that you will not find in many parts of the United States.
I varied the recipe a bit, but the basic recipe I used is located here:

Give Sancocho a try and I gurantee you will be glad you did.
