It may sound like a funny name for a food celebration. But four prunes are the minimum of what people who want more “digestive regularity” should take per day (up to a maximum of 9 prunes a day). We love prunes and prune juice. But many Americans steer clear of them, perhaps because of their association with regularity, which goes back to before great-grandmother’s day. A campaign several years back tried to change the name of prunes to “dried plums” (which is what prunes are) to make them more appealing. But as anyone who has ever made a pork or chicken roast with stuffed prunes knows, the dried fruits are delicious on their own. One of our favorite hors d’oeuvre is prunes stuffed with chicken liver mousse (you can marinate the prunes in Cognac overnight before stuffing).

So the new [URL='http://www.sbnation.com/college-basketball/teams/syracuse-orange']Syracuse Orange[/URL] decided to spend the summer in the gym, but not just any gym. Per Mike Waters, [URL='http://www.syracuse.com/orangebasketball/index.ssf/2016/10/syracuse_basketballs_andrew_white_stepped_into_the_boxing_ring_to_prepare_for_se.html']White spent his summer in the boxing gym[/URL]. "I knew the players at the schools I was looking at were all working out at their schools,'' White said. "I knew when I got to school there would be a transition in terms of the strength and conditioning program. I wanted to be in good shape, but I wanted to be fresh so instead of lifting weights, I used boxing for all my strength and conditioning.'' Specifically, White spent his days at a boxing gym in the Blandford Community Center where he'd do 90-minute drills. Doesn't sound like White got in the ring too often, but he would instead work the speed bag, heavy bag, and any other bag someone needed to be punched.[/I] [B]...

The highest temperature recorded on Oct. 18 is 83 degrees, in 1947. The forecast for Tuesday is a high of 83. The warm temperatures will be the result of a "stout southwest wind, and a good amount of sunshine," the National Weather Service said. Those warm winds will be about 10 mph, with gusts up to 25 mph. This could be the last gasp of sunny, summer-like weather this year. Temperatures are expected to drop this week, with highs by the end of the week in the 50s. Expect some rain, too, especially Thursday and Friday.[/I] [/QUOTE]
