Bacon makes everything better

Yes, I said it, bacon makes everything better. I know that nutritionally it isn’t the best for you, but if you have bacon, say on a once a week basis, how bad can it be? There are many comfort foods that have bacon attached to them in some fashion. One of my family’s favorite comfort foods is pasta carbonara and that is what’s for dinner tonight.

The baby boy and the baby girl discovered their love for this dish at a small restaurant next to our rental apartment in Le Canon, France a few summers ago. There is nothing that beats the comfort level of this pasta dish; eggs, bacon, parmesan cheese, sautéed onions and a little cream plus the pasta. There is nothing not to like here.

Altruistic wishes

You have been grated three wishes. The caveat is that you cannot wish for anything for yourself. What do you wish for?

I wish that the people throughout the world get the chance to pursue their dreams of a better life without big corporations, big religion, oppressive government making all of their decisions for them.

I wish that we as a global community can treat our planet with all of the respect that we would want to be shown ourselves. We only have one planet, if we break it we don't have another one to go to. Our planet isn't like a t.v; we can't exchange it for another one, there isn't a warranty.

I wish that we wouldn't be so afraid of the other. I would wish that all forms of prejudice and racism be eliminated from our psyches and emotional makeup as people completely. We react to each other based on our character and inner selves not on our appearances.

These would be my three wishes for our planet and our people. I really wish that someone would grant me these three wishes because our world might become a really awesome place.
