Moon Cookies

I read a book called « Hidden Kitchens » by Nikki Silva and Davia Nelson.  This is from the inner front jacket flap: “As part of the Hidden Kitchens project, The Kitchen Sisters opened up an NPR hotline and asked listeners, ‘What food traditions are disappearing from your life?

I enjoyed reading the book and decided to try one of the recipes given called Czechoslovakian Moon Cookies.  I realized that even the place they are named after no longer exists since all those countries have split up.

 

I am glad the recipe has been saved as they were fun to make and they are good to eat.  🙂

Nothing is truer, my brother Luigi.  Thank you for your comment.  To govern is to make believe and to make believe is to lie.

No voter is duped by the democratic lie in which he participates because, as you say, nothing really changes and we are passively heading towards a catastrophe the nature of which we ignore for the time being, but it will occur.

The Father sent The Revelation of Arès in order to warn mankind of this catastrophe but it has been received as one more lie midst the world drowning in lies.
