Toasted Cheese Ravioli | snapshotsincursive

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Country Casual Cravings: Toasted Cheese Ravioli! Crunchy on the outside, creamy on the inside. Take a walk on the wild side by turning dumpling-style pasta dough into a flavorful, tart, and cheesy appetizer. Panko breadcrumbs provide a crunchier coating that taste more like a fried shell when baked. This is due to the fact that panko breadcrumbs are made from crustless bread, thereby making them have an airier texture. The results are amazing.

Amazonía al límite: deforestación, degradación y actividades ilícitas están acabando con el bosque tropical más grande del planeta – Stigmatis News

  • La pequeña agricultura y la ganadería, así como la minería de oro y tala ilegales destacan entre las actividades que están depredando este ecosistema.
  • La deforestación y la degradación de los bosques amazónicos son dos de los problemas más críticos que enfrentan los países amazónicos.

Cada año, los informes sobre deforestación en la Amazonía confirman que el bosque tropical más grande del planeta está perdiendo su cobertura vegetal a un ritmo acelerado. El reporte anual de Global Forest Watch y la Universidad de Maryland, por ejemplo, incluye a cuatro de los nueve países amazónicos —Brasil, Bolivia, Perú y Colombia— en el top 10 de los que más bosques tropicales primarios perdieron en el planeta durante 2022.

Street Artist Ernaste Nasimo

By NASIMO at Mural Fest Kosova: Anti-corruption, in Ferizaj, Kosovo (2018).

I’M NOT AN ALCOHOLIC BUT…. | NANMYKEL.COM

 

 

….I can use something like AA’s Serenity Prayer:  ” Grant to us the serenity of mind to accept that which cannot be changed; courage to change that which can be changed, and wisdom to know the one from the other.”

I had to erase the mythical additional words to make the prayer feel real for me.  Prayer?   From whom to whom?

I remind myself of a poem I wrote in Time Wrinkles:

REALITY?

I’m going down fast with no soft landing.

No longer do I know what I knew, really KNEW!

Embryos and corpses  collide as parachute

jumpers drown

in puddles amid hills of salt  from which rises

the fabled Atlantis.

I’m present at the blow-out, but for naught.

No breath-taking poetry or inspired works of art;

no love, no troth, no arias, no green glades filled

with singing birds, no selfless devotion to exalted

visions or search for the truth.  Was there ever

any truth?  Who am I asking?
