I regret not getting to it sooner, for I can imagine the Vibram-clad pausing in produce aisles across the world, looming over the bright green beans and agonizing over the antinutrient content of the admittedly tasty a title=”Dear Mark: Beans/Legumes” href=”http://www.marksdailyapple.com/beans-legumes-carbs/”legumes/a, dipping their callused hands heavy with barbell stink into the display case full of sweet peas, letting the tiny green pearls cascade through their fingers like Maximus Decimus Meridius caressing the stalks of a title=”Why Grains Are Unhealthy” href=”http://www.marksdailyapple.com/why-grains-are-unhealthy/”wheat/a in Gladiator and thinking of casseroles from days long past.

pAt first glance, the ingredients might not sound like a combination you’d want to drink. Something magical happens in the mug, though, and the result is richer than regular tea, less intense than coffee and oddly delicious. Turmeric is the dominant flavor and admittedly, one that takes a little getting used to. Although not spicy itself, turmeric’s slightly bitter, […]

This weekend, all of the stores at MP 4.5  are having a huge charity event! In order to raise money for the Angel Gift Tree charity, all of the stores in the plaza have gathered together to have a big charity fundraiser, and that includes KnuckleUp! Of course, a party wouldn’t be a party without beer, so for a donation, you can drink all day long. And there will be all kinds of other events too!

The Angel Tree is a charity held annually by the Outer Banks Woman’s Club. It endeavors to help underprivileged children on the Outer Banks have a Merry Christmas too. It’s a great cause, and one that all the stores in the strip fully support.
We have a whole day of festivities planned, including:

12:30 – 1:15pm: Nutrition Seminar by our own Diane Fisher R.N.
1:00 – 3:00 Suzanne Tate will be presenting her new book, Teena Tortoise.

1:15 – 2:00pm: Healthy cooking Demo […]
