2007年VOA标准英语-Decorative Arrangements Can Be Tasty Too(在线收听) |
By Ade Astuti & Nia Sutadi On special occasions people in the U.S. often show their love with flowers. But these days there is another choice -- instead of giving a bouquet of flowers many are sending their loved ones an "edible bouquet" of fruit. For producers Ade Astuti and Nia Sutadi, VOA's Jim Bertel has more. Candice Rittenberg is the owner. "We're a replacement for flowers. [It is] Something of an alternative, a healthier aspect of it. It's fresh, it's unique, [and] it's beautiful. And we love it." "Valentine's Day, of course we have women sending things to men. A lot of men coming in here, especially on the very last second: 'I need something for my girlfriend, I need something for my wife.' And, of course we're going to accommodate that with something fabulous," says Rittenberg. These displays may not be the traditional way to express one's love, but they are becoming an option for those who want to appeal to a loved one's palate in addition to his or her heart. |
