Originating in South America, this fruit's journey highlights the intricate interplay of cultural adaptation, culinary innovation, and economic incentives that shaped its worldwide acceptance. One intriguing aspect is how the tomato, once viewed with suspicion due to its relation to poisonous plants, became a cornerstone of Mediterranean cuisine, particularly in Italy and Spain.

    Welcome to the jungle… 
When you’ve grown up thinking your twenties are all about working hard, playing hard and trying not to get pregnant, life comes at you fast when you go from hump to bump. 
So you thought adulthood would mean a high-flying career and a luxury lifestyle, but instead have ended up with a Lycra-based wardrobe and a deep fear of what lies at the bottom of the ball-pit in soft play? 
Join comedian Sophie McCartney as she voyages deep into the uncharted territories of mating, birthing, feral offspring, mums overdoing it at the watering hole, and the perilous viper’s nest of the school WhatsApp group. 
With laugh out loud humour and eye-watering honesty, Sophie shows how whether you’ve had a day full of whining or a night full of wine, there’s joy to be had in the perfectly imperfect wild ride into parenthood. 
In Tired and Tested, Sophie McCartney, a top-notch comedian, explores the wild terrain of relationships, childbirth, and the health challenges that come with it. This bestseller is a humorous autobiography that delves into the realities of motherhood and family life, making it a must-read for anyone navigating the same journey.

    What does the Bible say about marijuana? If it doesn’t directly address marijuana, how can Christians know what to make of the legalization of recreational cannabis and the advocacy of medical marijuana?  In the past, Christians could easily answer the question of whether or not it was permissible to use cannabis by deferring to state prohibitions. We could simply say, “it’s against the law.” Today, that answer is no longer possible. Christians are now forced to do what they should have been doing all along: Think like disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ and bring to bear the wisdom of the sufficient Word of God.   Since cannabis is not explicitly mentioned in the Bible, we must understand what it is and how it affects the user. We also must understand what the Bible says about discipleship, healing, suffering, and what it is to be human. Only then can we answer the critical questions regarding the recreational use and the medical use of cannabis.  In Cannabis and the Christian, Todd Miles gives listeners:  Biblical wisdom applied to the question of recreational cannabis  Biblical wisdom related to the medical use of cannabis  A grid to think through other ethical questions that aren’t directly addressed in the Bible  Confidence to respond to challenging issues standing on the sufficient Word of God
