Glad you like my recipes, Veronica. I hope to cook more soon. I've been going through months of very little cooking and certainly miss it. I have tons of recipes I'd like to try.
WWII recipes sounds intriguing because they would have had to ...

I do enjoy your recipes Mira. Your use of beet and fennel together is inspired.
I recently bought a book of WW2 recipes and they made such good use of veg

That vegi mix in itself is fantastic; the basis for so many casseroles or soups. and feta is an excellent cheese.

Ah, Northern Irish tea - that sounds great. I grew up in Scotland and it might be similar to what was served there.

Thanks Veronica for that information. I just checked the website and it has great photos of it set up as a military hospital. Made me think of Downton Abbey!

The Personhood Movement: A Danger To All Women?

The Personhood Movement: A Danger To All Women?

The Personhood Movement: A Danger To All Women?

The Personhood Movement: A Danger To All Women?
This is a very difficult issue, and one that won't be solved here, but I wanted to bring my own two cents to the table to clarify something I believe makes sense regarding abortion and breast cancer. If you've never had a child and have an ...

The Personhood Movement: A Danger To All Women?
"I merely pointed out that potential death does not always result in maternal death and abortion is linked to breast cancer."
