Feeding
Roe deer are highly selective feeders which eat a wide variety of
plant types. They select highly nutritious plants and therefore
browse rather than graze. They enjoy herbs, cereals, hedgerow
plants, heather, and young trees as well as some garden plants.
All deer do not have a top set of front incisors, but instead have
a hard pad that acts to tear vegetation rather than cut it.
Social organisation
Roe deer are generally solitary animals usually seen alone or in
small family groups but can form larger informal groups when
feeding in open areas such as fields during the winter. They are
active throughout the day and night but are most likely to be
active at dawn and dusk. They can often be seen ‘lying up’ or
resting whilst ruminating much like farm animals such as cows
and sheep.
Breeding
Roe deer have a very interesting breeding system, which
is designed to ensure the best possible start in life for their
offspring. Females can give birth at two years old and will
normally produce one or two offspring (kids). Exceptionally they
may produce triplets. Young are born between late April and
June. Roe deer are unique amongst deer species in that they
delay the development of the fertilised egg prior to birth for
several months following mating. This is a mechanism adopted
to avoid birthing during harsh northern winters when survival of
young would be unlikely.
Bucks defend a territory, becoming increasingly aggressive
towards rivals, from April through to September. The ‘rut’ is the
term used for the breeding season that occurs between
mid-July and early August. During this time bucks will pursue
does and compete with neighbouring bucks to enlarge their
territories and increase their access to the does visiting the area.
Fights between males can be serious and may sometimes even
lead to fatalities

Title: Wholesome -- nutritious. Foods from corn
Creator/Contributor: Harrison, Lloyd (artist); United States Food Administration (sponsor)
Created/Published: Harrison-Landauer-Inc: Baltimore MD.
Date issued: 1918
Physical description: 1 print (poster) : lithograph, color
Summary: Images of foods made from corn products. Includes caption that says, "Corn products are plentiful. Use them in cakes, candies, puddings and preserving for salads, shortening and for frying."
Genre: War posters
Subjects: Corn; Food supply; Consumer rationing
Notes: With restrictions on wheat, substitution became a very familiar part of the home front experience. Corn, barley, rice, oats, rye, potato and other flours appeared in breads. Recipes for bread and other wheat based products recommended no more than 50 percent white flour.
The use of sugar was also limited by the Food Administration. Once again, substitutions were found to fill the sweetener gap as honey and various kinds of syrup, such as corn, made their way into recipes formerly calling for sugar.

Apparently cocoa was very popular in the Edwardian period.
The LCC liveried E1 is shown on my LT layout, hopefully without any 'out of period' background. It's now substantially complete. although I realise that the trolley pole needs to be tied down to the stair handrail ! These were fiddly additions cobbled up from thin wire; that I haven't had to bother with before - the LT period cars I have previously modelled have drivers screens which hide their absence!
Feeding young takes consistent hunting for nutritious food by the male and female Baltimore oriole. Both visit the sock-like nest regularly, dropping in food.
In the first few seconds the female comes to the nest with a beak full of food. She feeds the babies and the male joins her, waiting for his turn to feed the babies. The female eventually gets all the way in the nest, while the male comes back by to check on things before heading out again to search.

The aye-aye is one of Madagascar's most endangered animal species.
Long persecuted in its native Madagascar as an omen of death and evil, the aye-aye, like most of its lemur relatives, faces imminent extinction because of the added pressure of deforestation.
The aye-aye prefers dense, tropical and coastal rainforest where there is plenty of cover but they are also known to inhabit secondary forest, bamboo thickets, mangroves and even coconut groves along the eastern coast of Madagascar.
This elusive species is the largest nocturnal primate and is the island’s answer to the woodpecker, as its specially adapted, flexible and skeletal third finger is used to find nutritious grubs and winkle them out from their woody burrows, in much the same way as a woodpecker’s beak.
The aye-aye is a primate that is most closely related to Lemurs but is one of the most unique animals on the planet due the fact that it possesses a number of very distinct adaptations. Their body and long tail are covered in coarse, shaggy black or dark brown fur with a layer of white guard hairs that helps them to blend into the surrounding forest in the dark. The aye-aye has very large eyes on its pointed face, a pink nose and rodent-like teeth with incisors that grow continuously to ensure that they never become blunt. Their large rounded ears are incredibly sensitive giving the aye-aye excellent hearing when listening for grubs beneath the tree bark and are able to be rotated independently. The aye-aye has long and bony fingers with sharp pointed claws on the ends to help when dangling from branches, but it is the middle fingers on their front feet which are their most distinctive feature. Much longer than the others, these fingers are opposable with a double-jointed tip and a hooked claw on the end and are used for both detecting grubs in dead wood and then extracting them.
The aye-aye is a nocturnal and arboreal animal meaning that it spends most of its life high in the trees. Although they are known to come down to the ground on occasion, aye-ayes sleep, eat, travel and mate in the trees and are most commonly found close to the canopy where there is plenty of cover from the dense foliage. During the day aye- ayes sleep in spherical nests in the forks of tree branches that are constructed out of leaves, branches and vines before emerging after dark to begin their hunt for food. The aye-aye is a solitary animal that marks its large home range with scent with the smaller territory of a female often overlapping those of at least a couple of males. Male aye-ayes tend to share their territories with other males and are even known to share the same nests (although not at the same time), and can seemingly tolerate each other until they hear the call of a female that is looking for a mate.
After a gestation period that lasts for about five months, a single infant is born and spends its first two months in the safety of the nest, not being weaned until it is at least 7 months old. Young aye-ayes will remain with their mother until they are two years old and leave to establish a territory of their own. A female aye-aye is thought to be able to start reproducing when she is between 3 and 3.5 years old where males seems to be able to do so at least 6 months earlier.
The aye-aye is an omnivorous animal that feeds on both other animals and plant matter, moving about high up in the trees and under the cover of night. Males are known to cover distances of up to 4km a night in their search for food, feeding on a variety of fruits, seeds, insects and nectar. They are however specially adapted to hunt in a very unique way as they use their elongated middle finger to tap dead wood in search of the hollow tunnels created by wood-boring grubs, listening for even the slightest sound with their sensitive bat-like ears. Once the aye-aye has detected its prey it uses its sharp front teeth to gnaw a hole into the wood before inserting the long middle finger, hooking the grub with its claw and extracting it (filling the same ecological niche as a Woodpecker). The aye-aye is also known to use this long digit to eat eggs and coconut flesh and is thought to be the only primate to use echolocation when searching for food.

Superfoods are known for their health benefits due to their phytonutrient content—plant compounds that have health-protecting and enhancing qualities. Superfoods are backed by research for their nutritious value, their ability to fight disease and even reverse the aging process! But remember: It is important to eat a balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats and dairy products. Adding superfoods to your diet is a great idea for those seeking to boost optimum health.
Making a super smoothie is FASTER than reading this informative recipe! :)
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup Fresh Blueberries:
Not just blueberries, but strawberries and other berries as well, according to one recent study, women aged 25 through 42 who ate more than three servings of blueberries and strawberries a week had a 32% lower risk of heart attack compared with those who ate less. The authors of the study attributed the benefit to compounds known as anthocyanins, flavonoids (which are antioxidants) that may decrease blood pressure and dilate blood vessels. Anthocyanins give plants their red and blue colors.
1 TBSP of Flaxseed:
Flax seed is best known for its fatty acids and fiber. When talking about omega fatty acids it is better ask what they can’t do then what they can. This seed plays its part in proper cardiovascular and immune system health, brain function, joint function, soft skin, and more. The fiber in flax is also good for many things, but especially effective with eliminating toxins from your body. Add just one tablespoon of ground flaxseed or try whole seeds to your smoothie for a subtle, nutty flavor with more than subtle nutrition.
-A Small Handful of Baby Leaf Spinach
Spinach is filled with antioxidants, including vitamin C and beta-carotene, as well as lutein and zeaxanthin — a duo that acts like sunscreen for your eyes and guards against macular degeneration. One cup of fresh spinach leaves also provides almost double the daily requirement for vitamin K, which plays an important role in cardiovascular and bone health.
-1/2 Cup of Greek Yogurt or Kefir
All yogurts are excellent sources of calcium, potassium, protein, zinc, and vitamins B6 and B12. What distinguishes Greek yogurt is its thicker, creamier texture because the liquid whey is strained out. Also, it contains probiotic cultures and is lower in lactose and has twice the protein content of regular yogurts. The calcium keeps bones strong to help ward off stress fractures; the protein means quicker muscle recovery.
Kefir is an ancient drink that originated in Russia. Similar in taste to yogurt, kefir is made from fermented milk and is slightly sour. Its popularity has soared in recent years because of growing interest in probiotics, which are known to boost the immune system and support good digestive health. Find it in the refrigerated aisle at your local supermarket or health-food store.
-1/2 cup Pomegranate juice
Pomegranate is a popular fruit. Pomegranate juice contains high levels of antioxidants -- greater than most other fruit juices, green tea and red wine. These antioxidants include phytonutrients such as polyphenol, tannins and anthocyanins. Daily consumption of pomegranate juice is more potent in improving antioxidant function than other fruit because of its concentrated amount of phenolic compounds,
-A Handful of Ice Cubes
Directions:
Toss all the ingredients in your blender until smooth. It will take a few minutes for all of those healthy ingredients to blend smoothly. For a thinner smoothie, add more juice :)
Chocolate Chip Pancakes....
I can't even remember the name of the cute little place that Katie and I stopped in for lunch today, but the menus were written on blackboards and the first thing I saw was pancakes. I didn't have to look any further. I immediately asked if I could have pancakes for lunch and when they said yes, I placed my order, with a huge smile on my face, trying not to actually start laughing. I can't stress enough times that for me, it's the little things... the very littlest of things! Most of my life, I hated pancakes and wouldn't eat them. Growing up, my Mom always made me cinnamon toast when she made pancakes for everyone else. I'm not sure how I made this brilliant discovery.... but I did... one day I found out that I DON'T HATE PANCAKES!! I HATE MAPLE SYRUP!! So, now I love pancakes... with butter. (I had to ask for more butter... I know, I told you it was another nutritious meal choice!! At least I learned that when you get chocolate chip pancakes, you don't ask for chocolate syrup. I did that once. It was just plain disgusting.... even for me!) Katie ate something healthy.... Oh! And I had graham cracker iced coffee to go with it! A great day!
Unedited mobile phone cam shot of a snail that got dangerously close to being rolled over and crushed to shreds by my beloved Bikey, luckily we saw it before it came to the worst...and luckily neither Bikey nor me are French, so we refrained from snapping it off the ground and making it part of our nutritious plan, lol ;-P
You know how they say, "To save one life is as if you have saved the world", so I continue my crusade to save one life at a time, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem compared to the vastness of the Universe...

A nutritious blend of the secretions of genetically modified ants, and the ants themselves. It is not recommended to consume more than one serving per day.
A nutritious meal made in a few minutes. The carbohydrate in the form of pasta and other healthy stuff in the form of tomatoes, olives, onion (in this case white) and then some parmesan type cheese to give the saltiness and the tang.
Served with garlic bread (not so healthy but delicious!) and it’s a meal that’s both satisfying, nourishing and simple to make.
What’s not to like? 👍

As a kid, I once tried cottage cheese when our family dined at an out-of-town restaurant which tables featured "Lazy Susans" — essentially a turntable set upon a larger, round table, containing various dishes, relishes, including condiments, etc., from which guests could serve themselves. The device itself has been around since the early 1700's in England, though the name's origin remains obscure, but is widely thought to be from the 20th century.
At the time, I did not like what I tasted. But, keeping an open mind as I do, later in life tried it again, and found that I liked it. For me, that experience was also kinda' like the poor pretext of a red velvet cake made at the junior high/middle school which I attended. Their malign concoction of it — which was the first I'd ever had, or heard of it — was the most disgustingly grotesquely miserable excuse of of a dessert which one could possibly imagine. And so, for years thereafter, I loathed even the idea of it... until I tried it again. Made by experts, or hell... folks that have even a half-ounce of common sense about what they're doing, red velvet cake is an utterly delightful, and — dare I say it? — rich, flavorful, and nutty dish (from walnuts), most notably characterized by its deep red color, obtained from the addition of... yes, red food coloring.
But, back to the cottage cheese incident.
Nutritionally, cottage cheese is an excellent source of inexpensive protein, and fundamentally, is quite simple to make, and can be made in one's own kitchen without any special tools, or significant effort — and, like many other things, there are "recipes" and how-to's aplenty to be found on the Internet.
Cottage cheese is essentially "curds and whey," Kurds being nomadic ethnic folks in the middle east ranging from Iran to Kurdistan... (LAUGH! for cryin' out loud! It's a pun! But, it's no joke that the Kurds are from that region!)
But seriously... curds are the curdled proteins of milk — the solid portion of cottage cheese, while whey is the enzyme-rich liquid, which is also a byproduct of yogurt-making. Whey is used to make other kinds and types of cheeses, as an ingredient in other foods, and can be substituted for milk, buttermilk, or water in recipes, while curds can be, and often are, the first step of making other kinds and types of cheeses.
Again, nutritionally, a 1/2 cup serving (113g) of cottage cheese (made from 4% milkfat, minimum) contains 13g protein, 5g total fat, 5g carbohydrate, 350mg sodium, 130mg potassium, 80mg calcium, and contains 110 calories.
As seen in this image, the dish is seasoned with freshly cracked black pepper, and green habanero pepper/picante sauce by the El Yucateco brand.
