Our 9.11 Heroes Barred from the 9.11 anniversary……are we getting this???
The epitome of hypocrisy. An inside job yet Americans are still in horrible denial on such a large scale tragedy. Hitler had a protocol as well as others, which our leaders find simply effective.

Nectarine Almond Tart……..heavenly!
Summertime fruit is truly a beautiful thing. Strawberries, cherries, peaches, apricots and the stunning nectarine! Combine nectarines with some marzipan and I have just about died and gone to heaven. While this recipe calls for a non glutenous flour, I used regular flour instead and thought it just delightful. Again, we are talking marzipan here,…
