Homemade Chocolate Fudge

In Dianes Kitchen

Give your sweetie Homemade Chocolate Fudge on Valentine’s Day. It is made with semi-sweet chocolate chips, marshmallows and other ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. My cousin told me it was the best fudge she has ever tasted!

Lightly butter an 8” x 8” dish.

In a small saucepan combine the

sugar, milk, 2 Tbsp. of butter and salt.

chocolate is completely melted.

marshmallows, vanilla extract

and nuts (optional).

Stir until the marshmallows are

Pour into the prepared dish and

wait for it to cool and set up.

Cut into squares and…

Compri oro? Ti stai decorando con l’oro? … « La foresta sta sanguinando, lo sento nel mio cuore. »

«I minatori d’oro versano più mercurio avvelenato sulla terra del peso dell’oro che portano via. Sono come morti viventi, ricoperti di fango dorato. »
– cacique Raoni Metuktire

Foto: distruzione delle miniere d’oro nella foresta pluviale amazzonica

L’estrazione dell’oro e l’uso indiscriminato del mercurio per trovare l’oro trasformano parti degli ecosistemi più ricchi di biodiversità del mondo in un paesaggio lunare da incubo.

«I minatori d’oro distruggono la foresta» – disegno su carta: Yahimi Yanomami

Fino al 75% dell’oro estratto ogni anno viene utilizzato per gioielli, orologi e altri status symbol inutili venduti da Cartier e da altre società del settore del lusso, nonché da discount in tutto il mondo.

Decine di migliaia di alberi della foresta pluviale devono essere sradicati, centinaia di tonnellate di terra estratte e mescolate con decine di tonnellate di inquinanti ambientali tossici che inquinano le terre native per…

Bitcoin Plunges, IMF Urges El Salvador to Drop It – Havana Times

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has urged El Salvador to stop using Bitcoin as their legal tender, due to “high associated risks”. The IMF statement, released on Tuesday, January 25, represents a setback to President Nayib Bukele, an enthusiastic promotor of the cryptocurrency.

The IMF executive board strongly advised the Salvadoran government to end the official use of Bitcoin, a policy the Bukele government adopted in September. They stressed that there are “large risks associated with the use of Bitcoin on financial stability, financial integrity, and consumer protection, as well as the associated fiscal contingent liabilities.”

The IMF statement “urged the authorities to narrow the scope of the Bitcoin law by removing Bitcoin’s legal tender status.”

Portugal general election: PM Antonio Costa wins surprise outright majority | Portugal | The Guardian

Defying all odds, Portugal’s ruling centre-left Socialists won an outright parliamentary majority in Sunday’s snap general election, securing a strong new mandate for the prime minister, Antonio Costa.

The result, boosted by a higher than expected turnout despite the coronavirus pandemic, came as a surprise after the Socialists had lost most of their advantage in recent opinion polls. It means Portugal will have a stable government to oversee the application of EU pandemic recovery funds.

Part 18: From The Mouths of Babes

 

     I began to tremble, that old stench returning.  As I looked about the room, I saw not the faces of my sweet Anna, nor the doctor and his wife, but that of little Tilly: in chains.

 

     We were back in the Slave Gaol where my friends had been punished.  The odors of sweat mingled with blood, dirt, and fear, as the Senator ordered me held and made to watch.  Each slice of that leather whistling through…
