Sweetest Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in October as a day to make someone happy.It is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick,the aged,and children who have lost their parents,but also friends,workmates,relatives and neighbors whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed.
Over 60 years ago,when a Cleveland man noticed that some people,such as children who lost their parents and patients who lay in bed,too often felt forgotten and neglected,he developed in his mind the idea of showing them that they were remembered.He did this by giving them small gifts.With the help of his friends and neighbors,he gave those people small gifts on a Saturday in October.During the years that followed,other Clevelanders began to take part in the celebration,which came to be called “Sweetest Day”.Over time,the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the poor,the sick and children who had lost their parents was broadened to include everyone,and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small gift.Soon the idea spread to other cities all over the USA.
Sweetest Day is not based on any single group’s religious beliefs or on a family relationship.It is a reminder that a thoughtful word or deed enriches life and gives it meaning.Because for many people remembering takes the form of gift-giving,Sweetest Day offers us the opportunity to show others that we care,in a positive way.

Many of us love July because it’s the month when nature’s berries and stone fruits are in abundance.These colourful and sweet jewels from British Columbia’s fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.
Of the common berries,strawberries are highest in vitamin C,although,because of their seeds,raspberries contain a little more protein(蛋白质),iron and zinc(not that fruits have much protein).Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants(抗氧化物质).The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants.As for cherries(樱桃),they are so delicious who cares However,they are rich in vitamin C.
When combined with berries or slices of other fruits,frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick,cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream”.For this purpose,select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter.Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze.If you like,a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown.Frozen bananas will last several weeks,depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.
If you have a juicer,you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit.Out comes a “soft-serve” creamy dessert,to be eaten right away.This makes a fun activity for a children’s party;they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.
