  I invite you to go on a journey with me. A journey to fight the time thief and get back to what we love about life. We have so many competing interests and make every effort to manage our time commitments. We are forced to make sacrifices, which leaves us unable to truly share our lives with others. The backyard returns to a small oasis that offers relaxation and enjoyment with family and friends. 
  I fell in love with the idea of bringing back the art of loving others through great food prepared outside. I painstakingly learned the processes required to make great food and bring family and friends to a place where time can stand still… for a moment. After spending most of my life learning how to prepare great food and share it with others, I am now sharing with you. This book will offer you some great information and hopefully a laugh or two. 
  Finally, a way to get back outside, have a Braai (great new word for barbeque) with those we cherish can happen. I will show you how to get the most out of your time and regain the life you love.

  Oranges

  A classic of reportage, Oranges was first conceived as a magazine article, but John McPhee kept encountering so much irresistible information that he wrote a book. It is perhaps the last word on the subject (the first came in 500 BC and is attributed to Confucius). McPhee writes about the botany, history, and industry of oranges, from the great orangeries of European monarchs to a fascinating profile of Ben Hill Griffin of Frostproof, Florida, who may be the last of the individual orange barons.Oranges developed in Southeast Asia, and they spread through the world with a timing closely parallel to the spread of Western civilization. It was Columbus himself who brought the first orange seeds to the New World. Botanically, they are spectacularly complicated. They can be completely unripe when they are a brilliant orange and deliciously ripe when they are green as emeralds. Citrus is so genetically perverse that oranges can grow from lime seeds. Most Florida oranges grow on lemon roots. Louis XIV hung tapestries of oranges in the halls of Versailles because oranges and orange trees were the symbols of his nature and his reign. This book, in a sense, is a tapestry of oranges, too—with elements in it that range from the customs of French kings to those of people in the modern Caribbean who split oranges and clean floors with them, one half in each hand.
