Opera Singer in the Kitchen: The World's Best Fruit

I recently was contacted by a company that found me through Foodbuzz called The World Best Fruit where they feature a miracle red berry that instantly changes everything sour to sweet. How does it work? "The berry, known as miracle fruit, has a protien called miraculin. The miraculin basically sticks to your sour receptors on your tongue and covers them up. The effect lasts between 15 minutes and 2 hours. For most people, it's about a half hour."

A resturant in East Lansing called, Reno's (East)is hosting a fundraiser for the MSU Outdoors Club...it's a Foodie's event that has been huge in big cities around the country.

"Proceeds will go to the MSU Outdoors Club to support the film festival they are hosting on April 7th. This Film Festival is called the Banff World Tour and is a Touring edition of the Banff Film Festival. Making its way from Austria to Argentina and from Iceland to India, the Banff World Tour is an extreme outdoor sports and mountain culture film festival that spans the globe. More than 170,000 people attend approximately 450 screenings in about 250 locations. This year, the Michigan State University Outdoor Club is pleased to host a screening at our university. Check this thing out! Tickets are $10 and will be on sale at the Flavor Tripping Event."

East Lansing people come out and try this berry with me tomorrow!
