A while back, I heard a song again that I hadn’t listened to in many, many years—“In My Life” by The Beatles. It’s a beautiful song with spectacularly lovely lyrics, and besides being beautiful in its

In the neighborhood where I live, even though it’s a fairly densely populated apartment complex, you can always find the occasional tree here and there that brightens your day—because in an area so full

Here in Venezuela, there are several types of chili peppers. I've tried a few, though I'm sure there are still plenty I haven't tried yet. Of the ones I’ve tried so far, my favorite—and my husband’s too,

El día de hoy quería comer algo diferente porque por lo general en casa se prepara pollo guisado o carne guisada para los almuerzos, y la chuleta ahumada se come sola con su contorno, casi siempre la ponemos
