This recipe is courtesy of a fellow foodie and blogger, and is one of the best we've made to date! So being that were going caja china style on this pulled pork recipe, whether it be in your La Caja Asadora or La Caja China model, lets begin with our ingredients and then get into the way the roasting box (also called a Cajun microwave) works. Here's what you'll need for your spice rubgarlic, cumin, salt, sugar, and oregano. (The complete list of ingredients can be f ound at the bottom of the article.) Apply the rub a day ahead of time and allow to sit in the fridge in plastic wrap in order to let the spices really set in. Remove the wrap at least an hour or so before placing inside your caja china. You will want to slow roast for this pulled pork recipe, meaning your china box grill should have no more than 8 lbs of charcoal on it at any time. You will want to add fresh coals every hour or so, and allow the barbecue pork to cook for 2 to 3 hours, checking every hour when you add charcoal.
I recommend mopping with your favorite barbecue sauce at this time. The low heat will begin to break down the pork fat and begin to baste the shoulder in delicious natural juices. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature of the pork. Once the internal temperature has hit 190 degrees you are ready to remove your barbecue pulled pork from your caja asadora/ Cajun microwave and allow it to sit for a few hours until it has cooled to the point where it can be handled. You will notice that the pork can be literally pulled clean from the bone, and that the exterior will have a delicious crisp crust. This is what having a caja china box is all about. Here is the list of ingredients for the barbecue pulled pork. Be sure to check back soon for upcoming Cajun microwave recipes for barbecue pork tenderloin, barbecue pork chops, and barbecue ribs!

Juice Recipes for Juicers - How to Create Delicious Fruit and Vegetable Juice Recipes with Your Juicer
Besides the extraordinary health benefits one can get from juicing regularly, the best part of juicing is all the delicious juice recipes you can create by mixing and matching fresh fruits and vegetables. By having a variety of great juice recipes for juicing in your repertoire and continuing to experiment, you will come to enjoy juicing and make it easier for yourself to adopt the habit on a regular basis. The guidelines that follow will set you on the right path toward creating healthy and flavorful juice recipes while getting the most out of your juicer.
Before discussing recipe creation, however, it's important address the differences between juicers and blenders. Many people make the mistake of using a blender when they begin juicing and may not realize that juicers and blenders are different appliances with different functions. Juicers squeeze the liquid out of fruits and vegetables while extracting the solid pulp, including the skin and any rind, stem, or other fibrous parts. So, the end product is a relatively thin liquid that is similar to the consistency of V8. On the other hand, blenders mix all parts of the fruits and vegetables up together, creating a more slurry-like consistency whose thickness will depend on the water content of the ingredients and the amount of fibrous material included. Unless you have a very high-end blender, the resulting creation will likely be clumpy with bits of skin, seeds, and rind. To ensure you create a juice that is easy to drink, you will want to use a juicer.
So, what are the best fruits and vegetables for juicing? The answer to this question depends on how healthy you want your juices to be and which specific nutrients (if any) you are targeting, your level of experience with juicing and consuming certain types of vegetables, and of course your personal tastes and preferences. Most fruits and vegetables can be juiced, although some will yield more juice than others. You will want to avoid juicing soft fruits like bananas and avocados since they have a low water content and for this reason can clog up your juicer.
All fruits are vegetables are great sources of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes, which are all essential for a healthy diet, but some are more healthy than others. Vegetables generally contain less sugar than fruits, and thus if you are diabetic or looking to minimize your sugar intake, you will want to use predominantly vegetables in your juices, perhaps adding a small amount of fruit for flavor. Dark, leafy greens like spinach, kale, and collard greens are very nutrient dense and contain a plethora of disease-fighting, anti-aging phytonutrients, so those are a great choice for inclusion in your juices. However, if you are new to juicing, you may want to start with a smaller amount of these vegetables and increase the amount gradually to allow your body to become accustomed to them. It is worth keeping in mind that any digestive discomfort should be viewed as positive from a health standpoint, as it is a just a symptom of toxins being released from your body for eliminatio n. Dark leafy greens are also usually somewhat bitter, so it is a good idea to neutralize them with more mild vegetables like celery or cucumber, for example, or stronger fruits such as berries and citrus.
Another excellent strategy to use when creating juice recipes for juicing is to use a range of different-colored fruits and vegetables, since different colors indicate the presence of different nutrients. Think about each fruit and vegetable's individual taste and which ones would go well together. Feel free to experiment with different combinations. You can also add herbs such as parsely and cilantro, or even a little ginger to give your recipe some zing. If you are looking to make a juice more sweet but are concerned about sugar content, consider adding some honey or stevia. The key is to be creative and have fun with it.
Before throwing your fruits and vegetables into the juicer, there are a few final points worth remembering. First, although juicing shouldn't require much preparation, it is best to chop up your fruits and vegetables first to make it easier for your juicer to extract the juice. This practice should also extend the life of your juicer. Second, It is also important to remove any large seeds or pits before juicing for obvious reasons. Finally, when juicing citrus fruits, it is a good idea to remove the peel for easier processing, but leave as much of the white pith on as possible, as it has a high nutrient density.
Now, you know enough to get started making your own healthy, delicious juice recipes with your juicer!
Global Financial Crisis? Singapore Weathers The Storm In Gluten Free Shopping Beating America. Gfp Matrix Shows High Gdp Boosts Health & Diagnosis
This article compares previous research on gluten free e-demand in the Americas and Europe with analysis of major Asian countries using a re-developed GFP Matrix model. This model uses gluten free search term volumes in Google in specific communities to estimate the community\'s gluten free market maturity. The matrix plots the raw gluten related search volumes versus Adjusted celiac searches\' and finds a linear relationship between the two variables. The analysis looks at what defines a mature gluten free market as well as what products people in different countries are searching for and why.
One of the main concepts in this article is Adjusted Celiac searches\' which is based on raw gluten search term volumes. These values are then adjusted (increased) to account for internet usage in a country as well as the probable total search engine gluten queries (using specific country Google Market share as the basis). This adjusted value thus estimates the total gluten searches as if 100% of a country had internet access and all search engine results were used.
This intermediate value is then divided by (community population divided by 100) to gain a monthly adjusted celiac search\' value. That is, assuming that that the average celiac rate is approximately 1 in 100 people (diagnosed and undiagnosed), this hypothetical value estimates on average, if all celiacs searched for gluten free products, how many times they searched for them each month. Note that as celiac diagnosis in advanced countries may be as low as 20%, the actual number of times internet using celiacs currently search may be five times as much as the estimates predict!
To assist analysis, gluten related search terms were divided into seven groups as shown below. Only the top 50 terms were used for detailed statistical analysis, but in most cases, these fifty terms represent 95% of all terms.
Glute n Group Composition:
Generic GF Product: This group of search terms all involve the word gluten and are generic in nature, such a gluten, gluten free, gluten free products, gluten free meals. This group is also segmented into core and non-core terms. Core terms are those shown above, while non core terms are those such as: gf breakfast, gf snacks, gf desserts, gf gifts. Gluten Diet: These are terms that are related to the specifics of gluten free diets such as: gluten free diets, celiac diet. Gluten Free recipe: Terms such as gluten free recipes, gluten recipe, gluten free baking, wheat free baking Celiac related: These are terms related to information on the disease such as: celiac, celiac disease, gluten intolerance, gluten allergies Wheat free: Terms such as: wheat free, wheat gluten, wheat allergy GF Locations: gluten free stores, gluten free shopping, gluten free resta urant Specific GF Foods: gluten free bread, gluten free pizza, gluten free cakes, gluten free muffinsA summary of the adjusted celiac searches per month\' ratings of specific communities for Dec 2008 were:
4.2 Australia 2.7 USA 1.9 China English speaking 4.9 China Traditional 2.0 China Simplified 1.6 India English 1.0 India Hindu 5.5 Indonesia English 1.0 Indonesia Indonesian speaking 1.3 Japan English 1.4 Japan Japanese speaking 6.7 Singapore English speaking
Overall, the control groups, USA and Australia, remained higher gluten search countries than the highest raw searches per population\' countries of the Asian countries analysed, except for the Singapore English speaking community. Singapore has one of the best telecommunication systems in Asia and its internet penetration is similar to the US and Australia. It is believed that of those people who do search on the internet in Singapore, t hey search long and hard for what they want. With this high search level, the searches conformed to GFP Matrix conditions that suggest that high raw search communities have a high proportion of generic gluten searches. In this case, 65% of all searches were in the generic group of which 85% were core searches. As per the GFP Matrix trend, the celiac\' group was also high. Its eleven terms and 8% of top 50 searches was only 2% behind the second highest group gluten diet\'.
In statistical terms, China traditional language, and Indonesia English speaking communities are called outliers\'. That is, most other data points fit a linear relationship between raw searches and adjusted celiac searches, except for these two communities. The common trait of these two communities is that they have very large populations and very low internet penetration and low Gross Domestic Product per person (associated with low wage and lower standards of livi ng). This might typically suggest that these communities would have a low celiac diagnosis rate - however it is likely that any English speaking community in any under developed country, is likely to have more affluence and access to better medical facilities than the main population. If we assume that the resulting high celiac searches are correct, then clues to why this is so can be found in detailed analysis of the communities.
China (Traditional Chinese speaking) had a massive 2.6 million searches. This is similar to the US but China has a much lower internet penetration, resulting in a higher celiac search estimate. The typical high celiac search community has a high generic gluten search proportion of the top 50, whereas China traditional\' has only 38% of volumes. However, it does follow the trend of having the celiac group\' as the second highest search group (30%). So it would appear that China traditional\' genuinely has a high celiac search community. The rise of the Chinese economy, particularly in the large cities is likely to have spawned a community hungry for information and funds to seek medical facilities and buy gluten free products.
The Indonesia English speaking\' community had a relatively low search volume of 325 thousand terms, however with only an 11% internet penetration this gives the community a celiac search rating of 5.5 searches by celiacs per month. The search group profile is non typical of high search countries. A relatively low generic group and the highest group celiac\' used non-standard search terms. Wheat free\' was also non-typically very high (16%). With gluten free pizza\' being the highest specific food search, it appears that this community is more affluent than the indigenous community and has higher searchers. But they also use non-standard search terms as the Indonesian gluten online supply side is likely to be quite undeveloped.
All of the oth er Asian communities analysed were found in the very low search are of 1 to 2 adjusted celiac searches. Surprisingly Japan, (English and Japanese speaking) communities, were also found here. While they have slightly one of the larger raw gluten search volume values compared to all other Asian communities, their adjusted celiac search values are still only around 60% of the US and less than half of Australia\'s. This could be caused by their predilection towards rice dishes and fish foods that don\'t involve gluten. Japan English speaking had a low 100 terms and 187 thousand searches with the top four groups having similar search volumes around 18%. The very high searches for gluten free restaurants\', and high ranking for the celiac group\' suggests that there is an even spread between new diagnosed and sophisticated searchers.
Specific food terms of cakes, corn and muffins rather than food staples also suggest that Japan\'s Japanese speaking people have risen above the need to find or make food staples such as bread. While the Japanese speaking community had double the searches of the English speaking community, they were located in virtually the same spot on the GFP matrix. The main difference was that its search profile was completely different. The Japanese speaking searchers spent 43% of their 391 thousand searches looking for specific gluten free foods. The top specific searches were: cake, pizza, casein, cookies, chocolate and beer. Again, these are the hallmarks of sophisticated searchers in an affluent society.
The lowest ranking communities were India (English and Hindu), Indonesia (Indonesian speaking), and China (English and Simplified Chinese language). These countries all share the similarity of being very large, having a low economic status and being predomi nantly non English speaking with low internet penetration.
Specific information is provided on these communities in the individual community analysis. However it might just be that like Japan, these countries have a low amount of gluten in their diet and this may also be a reason for low or non-triggering of celiac disease issues. That is aligned to the theory that it is an continued overdose\' of high gluten foods that triggers celiac disease in the first place in many developed nations peoples.
Specific ASIAN Community GFP Matrix ANALYSIS
CHINA
China was analysed for three different language search segments: English, Chinese traditional, Chinese simplified. The Chinese traditional community not only had by far the greatest number of Asian raw searches, this community alone rated similar in search size to the US raw search size. However, the population of China is over 1.3 billion people and it has a relative ly low internet penetration of 19% and Google market share of only 22%.
This community was assumed to comprise 15% of China\'s total population. With 136 search terms and 155 thousand searches, when this is adjusted for the low penetration and Google share it equates to an adjusted search volume of 3.7 million for December 08.
While there were 16 terms in the generic gluten foods\' group this group only accounted for 33% of top 50 volumes. The largest search term in this group was free gluten free\' which accounted for 22,000 searches. The second highest group was gluten diet\' group with 12 terms and 36% of top 50 searches. The third highest group with ten terms was the celiac group which accounted for 27 thousand searches with the top three being: celiacs 8,100; gluten sensitivity 8,100 and gluten allergies 5,400.
The specific gluten food group had four terms and only accounted for 11 thousand searches with the largest being muffins and oatmeal.
Chinese Simplified speaking
With 567 thousand searches this group was three and a half times bigger than the English speaking community. It follows the trend with the local (non English) community search terms in the generic gluten food\' group comprising a much smaller proportion of the total (15% of the top 50) than the English speaking community above (33%). The largest group was the specific gluten food\' group with 178 thousand searches- 44% of top 50 searches. Cakes and pizza had a combined volume of 37,000 searches, with the next four terms having 12 thousand searches each: casein; flour, cookies, chocolate and beer. This relatively refined search pattern suggests relatively sophisticalted afflutent searchers. Maybe in China one needs to be relatively afflutent to be diagnosed in the first place?
Chinese traditional
This community had a massive 2.6 million searches, second only to the US. The largest group was the generic\' group with 9 terms making 38% of the volumes. Of the nearly one million searches within this group, 823 thousand were for gluten free\'. The core generic foods group accounted for six of the nine terms making up 98% of the generic group.
The celiac group also had a large representation with five terms accounting for 30% of searches. Celiac and celiac disease accounted for over 700 thousand searches! While specific foods group was the third largest by volume (258 thousand), its 19 terms only accounted for 10% of the top 50 searches. The peak term was for gluten free bread (50 thousand searches) followed by gluten free cake and corn gluten, each on 22,000 searches. Note that these are much more simple food items than the non staple items searched for by the Simplified Chinese community.
INDIA
India was separated into English speaking and Hindu communities. With the worl d\'s second largest population of over 1 billion people and internet penetration of only 5.2% and Google share of 81%, raw gluten searches were expected to be low, but so were the adjusted celiac searches.
INDIA English speaking
The generic group had 20 terms and accounted for 65% (150 thousand) of top fifty searches. The top four terms were all between 25 and 18 thousand and were part gluten free phrases such as: is gluten free; and gluten free; gluten free in.
The gluten diet (11 terms) and celiac group (8 terms) each had 11% and 12% of top 50 searches respectively. A close fourth group with only five terms was the specific foods group. The largest volume in this group was taken by gluten dairy\' 9,900 searches.
This community had 417 thousand searches nearly two and a half times the English speaking searches. The top FIVE groups had all very similar search volumes ranging between 18% and 23%. The Specific foods\' group accounte d for six terms and 23% of volumes. The top two searches were: gluten free bread 49,500 and gluten free cakes 22,200. The second highest group was the celiac group with four terms covering 20% of volumes. gluten intolerance\' was the prime search term taking 49,500 of the groups 82 thousand searches.
JAPAN
As one of the most sophisticated economically strong first world countries it was expected that Japan\'s search rate may rate high. However celiac disease may be lowly diagnosed in this country as rice and fish typically make a much larger proportion of their diet than wheat of other cereals.
Japan English speaking
With 100 terms accounting for 187 thousand searches this is a relatively low search rate per population, considering it has 74% internet penetration and a Google share of 39%.
The top four groups each ranged from 17% to 20% of top fifty volumes. Unusually, gluten locations\' was the top group a nd had three terms and 36 thousand searches for its 20% share of top 50. Gluten free restaurants\' was a very dominant 22 thousand searches.
The second highest group was celiac with 12 terms accounting for 19% (35 thousand) of top 50 searches. The terms celiac disease\' and celiacs\' both accounted for 8 thousand searches each. There was also a relatively high and even spread of other celiac search volumes. The generic gluten free\' group had 15 terms (27 thousand searches) but only 17% of top 50 searches. With the groups median value of 1,600 and non-core generic terms accounting for 80% of generic searches, people were searching for more unique generic terms than usual. The top two non-core searches were variations of gluten free desserts\' making up 9,000 searches. Specific gluten free foods had only six terms (24,300 searches) with the top three terms: gluten free cakes (6,600), corn gluten meal (6,600), and gluten free muffins (4,400).
The high value searc hes for gluten free restaurants, gluten free dessert(s), cakes and muffins suggests that this group is a fairly established small core of searchers. While there is a relatively high 19% of searches dedicated to finding information on celiacs, the high spread between the groups suggests that the GF industry may be already mature in Japan.
JAPAN Japanese speaking
Total searches were 391 thousand per month for the top 50, surprisingly only double the English speaking community. Specific gluten foods\' was a very dominant 23 terms with its 169 thousand searches accounting for 43% of top fifty searches. The top searches were: gluten free cake (22,200); gluten free pizza (14,800) and FOUR terms on 12,000 searches: gluten free casein; gluten free cookies; gluten free chocolate; gluten free beer.
The second highest group was the generic group\' with six terms and only 13% (52 thousand) of the top 50 searches. The very dominant terms were: what i s gluten free\' (22,200) and gluten free products\' (14,800). The third highest group was gluten free recipes\' whose seven terms made up 11%, with the highest term search being for gluten free recipes (12,000). The celiac group had only two terms and 3% of top 50 searches.
INDONESIA
Indonesia is the fourth largest country in the world with a population of 229 million. And like China and India it is classed as a developing country. While Google has a very healthy 71% market share there, the country only has an 11% internet penetration. The analysis was performed on English speaking and Indonesian speaking communities.

With only 107 terms searched for over 325 thousand times, this is relatively low result for a country of this size. The popularity of the groups were fairly evenly spread with the main group of celiac\' only having 8 terms and making up 21% of searches. Unusually, the two p eak terms were not generic in nature: celiac sprue (22,200) and celiac disease symptom (14,800).
The second highest group was wheat free\' whose six terms comprised 16% of top 50 searches. With a median value of 8 thousand, the top term was wheat intolerance\' (18,100). The equal third group with 14% of searches was the specific food group. Of its 43 thousand searches the top ones were: gluten free pizza (14,800); gluten free pasta (6,600) and gluten free cakes (6,600).
With the relatively low search volumes, as expected the generic group searches were low - with its ten terms making up only 9% of top 50 searches. The non-core generic terms also comprise 84% of the terms. The median value was 2,900 and top searches were: gluten free dessert(s) (9,000) and gluten free pantry\' (3,600).

A very telling point of this low internet penetration country is that Google only listed 22 terms over the month and 1 73 thousand searches for the indigenous language. This is less than half the English speaking community.
In this community the celiac group was a very dominant 53% of top 50 searches. With only four terms the two main terms out of the groups 82 thousand searches were: gluten intolerance (49,500) and gluten allergy (27,100). This dominance of the celiac group suggests a country in the very early stages of celiac diagnosis.
The second highest group was the generic group of which the five terms were all core terms and accounted for 49 thousand searches. With a median value of only 1,300, the very dominant terms were gluten free foods (33,100) and gluten free products (14,800).
The third highest group (12%), specific gluten food, had seven terms and a total of 19 thousand searches. The top three terms were: gluten free cookies (12,100); high gluten flour (3,600) and gluten free oatmeal (2,900). Cookies are not necessarily a large luxury item, but it indicate s that those who can search have some means to buy and search for items other than staples such as flour and bread.
SINGAPORE
Singapore has one of the best telecommunications systems in the world and one of the highest cellular uptakes, however the internet penetration is only cited as 70%.
Singapore is also one of the major economies in the Asia-Pacific region along with Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea. As its per capita GDP\' exceeds that of most countries outside the US, it is expected that it would have the highest celiac search value too.
SINGAPORE English Speaking
With a population just over 4 million people, its total search (English) of 118 terms and 154 thousand searches is very impressive. This high search level is accompanied with 15 generic terms accounting for 99 thousand searches (65%) - of which only 15% of searches were non-core. The very dominant terms were: and gluten free\' (27,100); is gluten free\' (27,100) and free gluten free\' (22,200).
The second highest search term group was gluten diet whose six terms made up only 10% of searches. Out of the 15 thousand seaches, the top searches were: gluten free food list\' and list of gluten free foods\' - 4,400 each.
While specific foods six terms only made up 5% of top 50 searches, it is useful to see that they were: oatmeal (2,900); and pizza and pizza crust at 1,900 terms each. This shows a balance between staples and luxury food mixes.
SINGAPORE Mandarin speaking
Mandarin is considered to be the dominant language in Singapore. As Chinese traditional and China simplified had essentially the same terms in the same order as Singapore Chinese traditional, it is considered that Google duplicated the gluten search results for Singapore. While Google has a very healthy 71% share between its dot com and Singapore specific engines, the results of 143 terms and 1.16 million searches was very inflated. That is, taking internet penetration and Google market share into account, the adjusted celiac monthly search volume would be 51 terms searched - if the data was true!
This suggests that while English community searches in Asian countries can provide an insight into the market development of a country, the main Asian language searches might not be able to be analysed.
