You are fifteen, poor, black, and motherless as this book opens. Dad drinks, and isn’t around much. You are the only girl in a family of brothers. Having sex is no big deal, and there is one guy you really like, Manny. Your oldest brother’s pit bull is having puppies, and you are having trouble with throwing up most of what you eat, especially every morning. Dad says a hurricane is coming, but he’s said that before, no big deal. As this book opens, it has the feel of a myth...

From Life as we know it, 3 days ago, Similar articles

 At work, Michael and his colleagues did a safety awareness video.

Keeping Kitchen- Pickled Onions and Fish

From Over the Tuscan Stove, 4 days ago, Similar articles

I am leaving for a week in Sicily ( I know, poor me) and leave the pantry full for my husband when I go away for any length of time. I had already made some pulled pork a week or so ago and found some lovely sweet red onions at the market and could'd resist making some pickled Mexican onions for garnish for the pulled pork. Mexican Pickled Onions I used something similar to this recipe-  but.... Instead of parboiling the onions, since they are so sweet, I just lightly salt to pull...

From Let's go away for a while..., 4 days ago, Similar articles

We never planned on living in Utah ever. Stuart has always had a strong opinion not really based on anything particular when it's come to that opinion but it goes like this "people in Utah are the worst drivers!", "Utah is too dry!", "Utah mormon's are so weird." It goes on and on...Last night we found a listing on KSL for a great looking little home. Stuart emailed the landlord and we heard back pretty quickly that the contract for the place had just been signed. Lame. It's fun looking at...

Fashion along other delights. Me trying to find my way in my fourth country – Canada. After Finland, the USA and France, a new adventure. I’m still trying to get...

From Here There and Everywhere, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles

AdventureMan looked at the map. We had thought we would stop somewhere in Louisiana today, spend the night, but . . . you get this close, and with just a little effort, we could be home. We could pick up the Qatari Cat. We could have dinner with our son and his wife and our sweet little grandson . . . We smile at each other, and head home. We stop for gas in Jackson, Mississippi, and find a family run BBQ nearby, where lunch is quick, and delicious, and we are back on the road in no time....

The Curse of the Lemon Moon - Lemon and Rosemary Pannacotta

From Lucullian Delights, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles

   Lemon and rosemary is an unbeatable combination be it in savoury dishes or sweet ones, I never tire of those two and together they sparkle!  OK, maybe I am exaggerating a little but it is a great combination, you have to agree with me on that. I used to have lemon trees in vases because I like to make my own Limoncello but lately they don't seem to agree with me; the best one I had

"She's sweet, but scatterbrained..." or how can one teach with a neurobehavioral issue'

From Mama(e) in Translation, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles

please bear with me today as I throw a small pity party for myself. It gets a little better towards the end of the post (I hope!)I told my husband that it would be a disaster -- the fact that I'd be forced to look at my evaluations in order to submit an application for the possible job that took my peace away. I generally don't  read my evaluations -- though I know I should (they didn't required us to do it in graduate school and I did it only  to submit job applications years later...
