Sabores

Crème brulée, what I like to call the French version of a nice homemade flan.

Straight from Gaul now known as Le France this creamy custard is just as that oven

dessert I like to bake in baño de agua María. With eggs, evaporated milk and thick condensada,

the result of the two is a gentle custard meant to be

enjoyed slowly;

like a nice scotch taken neat as to aprovechar each note of that cane specially fermented.

With that all to familiar taste of amargenta azucar quemada, I cannot help but go in for more.

It's a nice thing for my senses to appreciate the sabor of so many thoughts.

Like the time that sugar got a little too burnt but glazed the flan just the same, the one that I find to still hold as my favorite.

Or the little personal ones I bought at the bodega in a little tin cup where the top was the best part of lightly soft custard

with a brown color like that of the sugary syrup at the bottom.

My crème brulées more delicate in texture have the same fun to spoon off the top revealing a lightly golden custard

where the almibar also dances waiting for the first piece.

Yes these two are mere twins simply served with different styles.

My flan in a triangular slice for each where the le crème bulée çe plus personal

classically set in a small white bowl molded those papita ruffles for décor.


Pero igual, ambos me encantan.

Hoy

Today she felt a little defeat, perhaps disillusioned.

To think that after almost a year in transit, things just stopped at an odd place.

To have shared her story with complete strangers who know nothing of her.

To have repeated such more than once woefully while trying not to break inside.


The question comes "was it all worth it?"

Yes, in many ways it was because with it she learned that she was not the only one.

With it, she removed the mask that others seem to see.

It was not at all easy, but now something that she can put behind her.

Not to forget, but to remind her of how strong she can be and more.

To let her know that He doesn't give anyone more than they can handle.

It is all a test to pass.


Regardless of this outcome, she has to know that given the opportunity, she would have had to do it all the same again.

Ver

Son los prejuicios inmaduros a base de las opiniones de otros que alteran los pensamientos hace alguien no muy conocido. Esos chismes extraños que circulan sin necesidad no tienen fondo de verdad. Puede ser que tal ves algún día ocurrió algo de lo cual se podía hablar. Algo no muy interesante al cual le agregaron más de la cuenta por razón ninguna y luego se convirtió en una verdad falsa y sin base. Mejor dicho, algo para entretener cuando no hay de que hablar, para así no pensar de las cosas propias.
Pero igual, no es nada bueno ya que la primera impresión esta pintada diferente con unos colores distintos.

Mejor sería que ciertas mentirillas nunca se escucharan, para que ya cuando se conozca esa persona, se conozca de veras.
Bueno, mientras tanto apartar esas cosas como se pueda y ver antes a la vez de mirar.

Hollywood


There is something about the magic of Hollywood

that allows you to believe…

In the fairy tales of ever after

and dreams that are meant to be

It's all in those fantasies that we live in,

hoping to see come true


Flying at night, while holding hands with a good fairy that leads to Never Land

Slaying the Jabberwock so that all may be well again,

aside from the fact that the Queen of Hearts

has been sent off nowhere


Hollywood, where boy meets girl

in a whirl of romanticism that never ends

but grows…


It's magic

Doth I ask

I have erred many times

Sometimes sin pensar, aveces con hablar

and time again, it happens


So I ask you, look not at my faults,

but at me and who I am today

A person trying to conquer her flaws

A person trying to look beyond that of others


Our mistakes do not determine who we are,

but sometimes they influence who we come to be

Hearty for laughs

There is comedy in humor,

as there are many a ways of relief


Good humor, that which contains widening eyes

at the feats of spoon & dish

running away together


Or even a nice little hen

gathering ingredients of her own

to prepare homemade loaves


It is all in how you see things

With a twinkle in your eye

and a gleam here and there

it is all beautiful

Mr. Hayward

Tony Hayward

I do not like it at all how Capitol Hill is getting all nitty gritty with you.

It is very upsetting to see the way that these representatives are so quick to point and just keep on adding.

We know that the BP oil spill is an awful accident, but I admire you in your courage for taking ownership of what has happened. Like a good chap you have stated the truth that BP is responsible the incident, but enough with this already. I am pretty sure that this is not something that you wanted and while watching the grand jury this morning, it's as if the reps wanted to solely say that it was all you you you you!!!!

Tony Hayward along with the rest of BP are looking for ways into which solve such a problem and are more than willing to clean up.

BP has employed many as you said earlier today (June 17, 2010) and worked hard to be where it is.

So why concentrate on something that we already know by yuckily over emphasizing what we already know.

It was an accident, we know––now it's time for clean up. Capitol Hill we get the point.

Mr. Hayward by taking such ownership, you show much character.

I support you for being who you are.

Enough with naming it, let's start fixing it.
