Here's to standing up to the corrupt Republican Party!! Here's to standing up to years and years of entrenched, systemic racism. Congratulations Ralph Warnnock, Jon Ossoff, Stacy Abrams and all of the right thinking people who made this happen. Go Georgia!!
Let me explain: Georgia's run off system means that if two white candidates split the ticket, potentially allowing a black candidate to win, the black candidate would most likely still need to face a white candidate in a one-on-one election, where the odds are the white candidate would win. The system was expressly designed to keep black candidates from holding office in Georgia and it has basically worked as Georgia has never had a black U.S Senator before Ralph Warnnock. Ain't America great?
Fruit chaat is the Pakistani version of a fruit salad. Seasonal fruits are diced and mixed with sugar, orange juice and chaat masala. It’s a super refreshing sweet, tangy and spicy fruit salad. In Pakistan, fruit chaat is usually eaten for Iftar during the month of Ramadan. Fruits are also healthy and provide much needed nutrition.
The beauty of fruit chaat is that pretty much any fruit can be used to make it. However, it is best made with seasonal fruit, which is why a winter fruit chaat will have a different assortment of ingredients versus a summer fruit chaat. The choice of the fruit used in a fruit chaat depends on the variety of fruits available in your country, as well as personal preference. Traditionally in Pakistan, commonly used fruits are bananas, apples, guavas and grapes. Depending on availability other fruit such as oranges, mangoes, peaches, nectarines, pomegranates, strawberries, kiwifruit, blueberries are also added.
How to make Pakistani fruit chaat?
•Start off with dicing your fruit. It’s best to dice by hand. Avoid using a food processor as that can turn your fruit into fruit mince, which is not the texture you are going for. Cut all fruit roughly the same size. Apples, pears and any other fruit that can oxidize should be sprinkled with lemon juice to stop them from browning. If using bananas, it’s best to add them a few minutes before serving because they can turn soft and mushy.
•Season: Add sugar, chaat masala and orange juice. The quantity of sugar used may need to be adjusted depending on the fruits used. Instead of sugar, honey can also be used. If oranges are in season, use fresh orange juice. Otherwise, bottled orange juice can be used.
•Let the chaat sit: Mix the fruits and spices together, and then let them sit for about 10 minutes, and then serve. This lets the flavors blend together and creates a delicious fruit juice that tastes absolutely delicious.
A banana is an elongated, edible fruit – botanically a berry – produced by several kinds of large herbaceous flowering plants in the genus Musa. In some countries, bananas used for cooking may be called plantains, distinguishing them from dessert bananas. The fruit is variable in size, color, and firmness, but is usually elongated and curved, with soft flesh rich in starch covered with a rind, which may be green, yellow, red, purple, or brown when ripe. The fruits grow in clusters hanging from the top of the plant. Almost all modern edible seedless (parthenocarp) bananas come from two wild species – Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana. The banana plant is the largest herbaceous flowering plant. All the above-ground parts of a banana plant grow from a structure usually called a corm. Plants are normally tall and fairly sturdy, and are often mistaken for trees, but what appears to be a trunk is actually a "false stem" or pseudostem. Bananas grow in a wide variety of soils, as long as the soil is at least 60 cm deep, has good drainage and is not compacted. The leaves of banana plants are composed of a stalk (petiole) and a blade (lamina). The banana fruits develop from the banana heart, in a large hanging cluster, made up of tiers (called hands), with up to 20 fruit to a tier. The hanging cluster is known as a bunch, comprising 3–20 tiers, or commercially as a banana stem, and can weigh 30–50 kilograms. Individual banana fruits (commonly known as a banana or finger) average 125 grams, of which approximately 75% is water and 25% dry matter. The fruit has been described as a leathery berry. There is a protective outer layer (a peel or skin) with numerous long, thin strings (the phloem bundles), which run lengthwise between the skin and the edible inner portion. The inner part of the common yellow dessert variety can be split lengthwise into three sections that correspond to the inner portions of the three carpels by manually deforming the unopened fruit. In cultivated varieties, the seeds are diminished nearly to non-existence; their remnants are tiny black specks in the interior of the fruit. 32533

Matthew 7:16-20 New International Version (NIV)
16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
