Reddit mentions: The best dried fruits

Men are like wine. Some turn to vinegar, but the best improve with age.

1. Birthday Swirls!
   
   
2. Sounds like a stuffed up baby.
   
   
3. I hope Dad wore this on deliveries.
   
   
4. A large table. Or do what my family does and make the kids sit at a different table.
   
   
5. I've never heard of him before, but he sounds amazing! Here is his biography.
   
   
6. How about this sweet tungsten ring?
   
   
7. It's a bird! It's a plane! No wait! It's just a light pull.
   
   
8. I was going to put Superman here, but as he was included in the last category... It'll have to be...
   
   
9. My dad taught me how to solve one of these when I was a child. I remember fondly how patient he was with me even though I'd get super frustrated. ♥
   
   
10. Nutella and Banana on a sandwich. K-i-s-s-o-m-g this is delicious.
    
    Bonus 1: I'm guess 1978, which happen to be the year the game Snake was created.
    
    Bonus 2: Guessing! But your name is probably not Maria.

Thanks for the contest!

These Miracle Berries are something that I think are awesome and would love to try. You eat what's supposed to be a single, kind of bland berry, and for the next 1/2 hour to 2 hours things that are sour taste sweet. Eating a whole lemon is supposed to taste like lemonade, a strawberry will taste like it's been dipped in sugar.

I love to knit and this knitting pattern book has some gorgeous patterns in it. Pretty small audience to be able to brag about to though. =)

I think I'll come back later and add another three in a separate post. I'm just not doing this contest justice this late at night.

=D

Every holiday season, I make my own raspberry cheesecake cookies. I actually came up with this recipe by myself and have gotten good reviews from my family and coworkers. It's a bit different than Subway's raspberry cheesecake cookies but I think they taste more like the real thing.

Also this is my first time posting this recipe ANYWHERE so if you guys want to try it out and tell me what you think, I'm all ears!

You need:

• 1/2 of an 8oz cream cheese, softened (4 oz)
  
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (usually an entire stick)
  
• 1 bar white baking chocolate, melted - I usually use a 6oz bar but I've used more and less with no noticeable change in texture, only a bit stronger white chocolate taste
  
• 2 and 1/2 cup white all purpose flour
  
• 1 and 1/4 cup white sugar
  
• 3 egg yolks
  
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
  
• 1 tsp baking soda
  
• 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
  
• 1/3 to 1/2 cup raspberry baking chips, I use these
  
  First off, credit where credit is due: I modified this from this sugar cookie recipe.
  
  Steps:
  
  
• Combine softened butter and cream cheese until evenly mixed. Stir in melted chocolate and sugar. Mix this thoroughly!
  
• Add egg yolks and vanilla.
  
• Add flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar. Mix.
  
• Gently mix in your raspberry chips. Depending on how cold your dough is, it might be a bit difficult to mix them evenly.
  
• Let chill in fridge for ~30 mins.
  
• Preheat oven to 350F and grease some cookie sheets.
  
• Shape into walnut-sized balls, flatten slightly and lay on cookie sheet. Leave about an inch between dough balls.
  
• Bake for 8-11 minutes until they begin to turn golden. In my experience they cook much slower on dark, nonstick cookie sheets than aluminum ones.
  
  This makes a soft, dense sugar cookie with a slightly crunchy cracked top. They stay soft if you keep them in an airtight container, though I wouldn't let them sit for too long since they do have quite a bit of cream cheese in them which I imagine would go bad.
  
  Hope you ladies enjoy!

My family and I live in Colorado Springs about 10 miles away from the Garden of the Gods, where we all spend a lot of time, hiking, climbing and just enjoying the beauty of the mountains. These would be great to take a long with us, as they are light weight, tasty and a good boost of energy :)

I ordered these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001PB801Y/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I don't have a lot of experience with dates, but they were delicious. I didn't eat them fast enough and fear they are starting to go bad. I have kept them in the refrigerator and ate about 6 a day(I am trying to lose weight, so I can't binge out on them). I am currently drying the remaining ones in hope that it preserves them a little longer.

I know! My running has improved. I went on a fast paced 5k the other day and PRed. I just keep getting stronger, faster, and recovery is an hourly thing rather than a daily thing. Good work to you my friend!

Li hing powder:

You can also get stuff like gummy bears, sour patch kids and dried fruit with li hing powder on it. My favorite is the preserved plums:

http://www.amazon.com/Sweet-Preserved-Dried-Plums-Ounces/dp/B008BXHX30/ref=sr_1_6?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1368214598&sr=1-6&keywords=li+hing+mui

Definitely worth trying of you're interested in experimenting with new things :-) BF is from Hawaii and I've never even heard of this stuff prior to meeting him.

Okay, I don't think I have tried this yet, but I absolutely love the mango tamarind and mango balls of the same brand. <3

Will try this when I see one! I think this is from Cebu(?) and here in Manila I only see the mango balls in the supermarkets.

Edit: here are their other products! Haha can't wait to try the dried green mangoes.

I don’t know where you live and I think it’s pretty different for location and what stores you have available — I did a quick search online though and there’s an amazon product that’s 5lbs pitted, 0.27 cents per oz, and free shipping if you have amazon prime. There’s probably cheaper somewhere but that’s pretty good I think

An active chin can easily burn off those calories, and you probably won't hurt his digestion with that many (but each chin is unique in their gut sensitivity) My guys seem to prefer craisins and they come in a reduced sugar variety that has less sugar than your average raisin. Puffed cereals can be great too because they seem to love the texture but there's nearly no nutritional value to them (just like hay!) Wild chinchillas eat high sugar cactus fruit when they can find it.

1. I'm guessing $538.27
   
   
2. http://www.amazon.com/Sun-Maid-Mediterranean-Apricots-Canisters/dp/B001E53WBE/ or http://www.amazon.com/Pineapple-Chunks-Dried-~-Lbs/dp/B0041LN5R4/ - they make so many healthy things that much more delicious!! OM NOM NOM
   
   
   
   BONUS: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00339P9ME/ref=wl_it_dp_v_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2R0QSHTFNZ5LS&coliid=I3NXI7YKSGO3NS because it's epic!
   

The reviews on these from amazon are that they are soft and good still... and the price is great :)

I don't see it on the Hawaiian host website. I usually see regular dried mangos like the Filipino 7 d dried mango or the jar of li hing mango from sam's club.

Island princess sells dried green mango, their macadamia nut's are so-so but the choco mochi is pretty good.

Theres also candied ginger that is easy to snack on and isnt as harsh as ginger root. Ive also found eating a peanutbutter and jelly sandwich or just any food before mushrooms helps with the upset stomach. Good luck!

You can get freeze-dried fruits in many places. https://www.amazon.com/Crispy-Green-Freeze-Dried-Non-GMO-Packaging/dp/B00F6MFXCW is one example.

Chocolate lasts a long time -- it'll develop a white frost on it if it's stored cold, but you just rub that off and it's good as new.

You can make a decent mug of hot chocolate with hot water, cocoa powder, and some sweetened condensed milk.

If you snack anyways, IMO it's best to just start buying your snacks a month before you were going to eat them. Maybe portion a given amount of each snack each week from a bulk bag to a smaller serving jar if you have problems with eating the entirety of a snack in a hurry when it's supposed to be for storage.

I’ve always had it dried, something like this. Different brands make it (basically more/less sour and sweet between brands). I personally found the more sour, the better but it doesn’t look like amazon carried the one I used.

You basically suck on it like a hard candy until the flavor’s gone. Closest taste that comes to mind is a warhead candy.

I just buy them off Amazon now, much easier than hunting for them.

They're huge 300g bags as well, so they last a while. https://www.amazon.ca/Martins-Crispy-Apple-Chips-300g/dp/B00MTZJ6IQ/

Here. Hope that helps!

Suicide bombers are blameless. Who wouldn't blow themselves up for not one, not two but seventy two white raisins? That shit is worth like 17 cents an ounce!

Plus you don't need to digest in paradise, you can just poop them out and re-eat them ad vitam æternam.

You want golden raisins. As the name implies, they are a wonderful golden yellow. They are easily available in grocery stores in the US (Sunmaid sells them in my area, along with the regular ones). Try a google search for your locale!

If all else fails, Amazon's got you

I'm really interested in getting into flipping. Right now I live in the Philippines but originally I'm from the US.

I can buy these for $1.70 per bag in the Philippines.

Do you think that this would be a sound idea? Would I be better off shipping in bulk to someone in the US and let them handle the domestic shipping for a cut?

Hope this helps

30 bucks for 20 berries.
It was fun to try

Edit: more like $50 now. I didnt notice they boosted the s/h fee. It's cool but not $50 cool

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00FBVTVYO/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1478805954&sr=8-2&keywords=miracle+berry+fruit&pi=SX200_QL40

I recommend candied ginger for the nausea. Two or three pieces will do you for 3-4 hours.

Eat more dates. Or if you don't eat any, eat dates.
