"Mandarin oranges may seem like an unlikely candidate for a marquee fruit. But while orange sales have gone down, the consumption of #mandarins — or you might call them #tangerines — has doubled in the U.S., where the average person now eats 5 pounds a year. Native to China and northeastern India, mandarins are one of 5 types of citrus (along with pummelos, citrons, kumquats and papedas) from which all others (like oranges and grapefruit) are derived. Today, California harvests about 92% of the country's mandarin crop, while Florida, troubled by citrus greening disease and obsolete varieties with seeds, harvests just 8...

Winter Citrus Salad with Fennel, Clementines and Arugula
Fridays nights in winter, Mr TBTAM plays tennis, so I’m on my own. It’s my night out with the girls or a good time to shop, get a cut and color or a mani-pedi.
This Friday night, however, all I really to do was be home. It was freezing cold outside, and I knew the rest of the weekend was going to be busy. After an even busier week, I was craving some alone time.
The default mode would be take out, but I wanted a good meal, not a slice or some lo mein. And something that would hold up well for leftovers tomorrow as a nice Valentine’s Day lunch with Mr TBTAM.
I decided on something tried and true, and a ...

34 Ways to Encourage Positive Thinking
The brain is a powerful organ; it controls the entire body. But your thought process is much more influential. Your thoughts dictate who you become, what you do, and the success you’ll have.
Take some time to really analyze your thoughts. Which direction do they point you?
Buddha said, “The mind is everything. What you think you become.” If an inventory of your thought process yields more negative thinking than positive, it’s time to make some changes.
Here are 34 things you can do to encourage positive thinking.
Stop saying, “I can’t.” If you hear it too often, you’ll convince yourself it’s true. In...

How to Talk About Pain - NYT
LONDON — IN 1926, Virginia Woolf published an essay on pain, "On Being Ill." Isn't it extraordinary, she observed, that pain does not rank with "love, battle and jealousy" among the most important themes in literature. She lamented the "poverty of the language of pain." Every schoolgirl who falls in love "has Shakespeare, Donne, Keats to speak her mind for her; but let a sufferer try to describe a pain in his head to a doctor and language at once runs dry." Where are the novels or epic poems devoted to typhoid, pneumonia or toothaches, Woolf wondered? Instead, the person in pain is forced to "coin words himself, and, ta...

An Unorthodox Breakfast…
Ah, the day after grocery day. What a wonderful day it is! I had shrimp and chicken fettuccine in a creamy parmesan alfredo sauce this morning for breakfast. I broke from my usual tradition of standard breakfast food fare. Mrs. Marie Callender made it and she did a good job. I was looking at the box and it was like only 420 calories for the whole meal which surprised me, but it was half a day’s serving of sodium, though. My only blunder last night was that I forgot to get ramen noodles – harkening back to my college days. I tried some a few weeks ago and I had forgotten how quick, filling and wholeso...

Make This Champagne Float With the Asian Citrus Fruit Yuzu
Welcome to Thirsty Thursday! Each week we toast the coming weekend with a new adult beverage for you to enjoy. Tweet @SELFmagazine and our associate editor of food + nutrition @MarjorieKorn and tell us what you're imbibing. Cheers!

Bladder, why you do me this way?
Back in nursing school, I had an instructor. Everybody has one of those instructors--the ones whose classes make you yearn for the sweet release of death, or at least a nice case of vascular dementia. I don't remember what she taught, although it couldn't have been that important, since we only met twice a week.She had three hobbyhorses that she managed to work into every class: homeopathy, the importance of cleanses (you know, take a lot of laxatives and eat only pureed grapefruit stuff), and the fact that the nursing shortage was caused by legalized abortion. Oh--one more I forgot--that all nurses hated each other and th...
