Unless you’ve been living under a rock, it’s probable that you are at least remotely aware of the video that’s been sweeping the nation, Kony 2012 . Produced and released by the nonprofit, Invisible Children (IC), the film is clearly compelling and has an almost hypnotic vibe to it. The video does an excellent job at persuading the unthinking youth of the US with vivid images, emotional storytelling, techno music, and colorful Kony 2012 kits that come complete with signs and bracelets.

I figured it's been a while since I've posted a recipe, so I decided to share one with you that I just created for the autumn season. I also have some more recipes to post soon, like Boston Cream Pie, White Bean and Rice Soup, and Butternut Squash Stuffing. Stay tuned (and subscribe !) for those recipes, among other things.

Hello, to all my faithful readers! :D I am writing to let you know that within the next few days, this feed is going to be moving over to my new Tumblr . Now, before you freak out, allow me to explain.
