Book Review | Victim Without a Face - Stefan Ahnhem

Rapid Ragu | Book of Elsa

What's for dinner, is the never ending question we all face. Everyday. Even for someone like me who adores cooking. 

This ragu is my savior on those days when the thought alone of what to eat the end of a hellish work day can make me screech, the original recipe comes courtesy of Nigella Lawson and can be found here. I however, have tweaked it a bit with ingredients from my own store cupboard and preferences.

Anyway I digress, enjoy.

We Are Family | Michael J Burt

we are family, 

although we do not resemble

although I am black and you are white

although you are rich and I am poor

we are family, 

even though I am democrat, and you are republican

even though your ancestors are from Iraq, and mine are from Africa

even though you teach the class I'm enrolled in

we are family, 

although I'm a poet and you are a singer

although you are old and I am young

although I'm a gentleman and you a lady

we are family, 

even though you praise Allah and I praise Jesus Christ

even though I love football and you play soccer

even though you are a Sagittarius and I'm a Cancer

we are family, 

although I prefer rhythm and blues and you love blue grass

even though you have a car and I have a bus…to ride

although I have love and you are alone

even though you dress one way, and I dress the other

although my family loves me and yours does not know of you

we are family, 

you and I are family, 

me and you are family, 

no matter what the difference is

family we are, forever

because we are here, and here is earth

and earth is our home

so here, we will live, 

we are family. 

We Are Family
