all my friends were of foreign origin. One day my mom asked in utter exasperation, after trying to pronounce a new Korean girl’s name, “Don’t you have any American friends?”
Tonight I looked at my menu for the last week- Moroccan chicken, African stew with groundnuts, a five course French meal, enchiladas and Ginger beef. I asked myself, “Don’t you know any American recipes?”
You know what? They are all American, too. That- not the flag waving, not the tailgate stickers, not the blind patriotism we see- is what America IS. We have something that goes to the heart of being human, across all borders and spices.
I could use a few. Actually I could easily get some if I wanted to walk two blocks to the closest taco place, but I just fixed my grill yesterday and I’m still having fun charring stuff.
Maybe you can call Sen. Stevens and ask for a few more tubes…..and while he’s busy doing that, see if he can release his hold on the Transparency in government Act…… </snark>
everybody. I just finished a Yahoo AP article entitled, “Pentagon Moves Toward Monitoring Media” Has anyone else read that? I believe it was in the politics section, but I’m not sure.

Enjoy your tacos.
Here’s a little something that I’ve been working on lately.
I love tacos.

No More Lies

Hi bluegrassheart,
Welcome to BT! Stop by the “Froggy Bottom Cafe” (a diary posted in the morning) and introduce yourself. Get some mojo.
I also saw the story; linked to an article in the WP in this morning’s News Bucket.
Welcome to the pond, bluegrassheart. Jump on in, the water’s fine.
Welcome to the pond!
And would that be bluegrass as in music or as in Kentucky? 🙂
