Chicken Parm and Chick Flicks. Runner-Up in Nourished Challenge.

We had started dating in the fall before, but now it was February, and readily approaching was our first Valentine's Day together as a couple. For me, it was not really that big of a deal, but for her? She had just casually informed me that I was her first ever boyfriend, her first actual relationship.

Single Mom. Georgia Heat. Icebox Cake. Top Story - October 2023.
Growing up with a single mom in Marietta, GA was tough. My twin brother and I would see our dad every other weekend and then spend two weeks in the summer with him. Unfortunately, mom was bitter and this caused her to lash out at us, berating him and whoever he was with. After a while, we would just stop saying anything about our time with him but this made the atmosphere at home so dark and depressing. This summer was hot and we had just returned from our two weeks with Dad in Florida and our air conditioning was not keeping up with the sweaty Georgia heat. We were not looking forward to the onslaught of mom’s ranting about dad when mom came out of the kitchen with a smile on her face. “I made your favorite,” she said. “Favorite what?” was all I could think. She went back into the kitchen and brought out a plate my grandmother handed down to her and perched on top was a big mound of Icebox cake. “Your grandmother used to make this for us in the summers – they call it Icebox cake because we would put it in the icebox to keep cold back before refrigerators,” she said proudly. She sliced off two large pieces for us both – careful to cut across the cake so the result was a zebra stripe effect that made it look even better. “Some people just keep it in the fridge,” she continued, “…but I like it better in the freezer. Plus, it lasts longer!” It didn’t last longer with us. Next thing I know we are going back for seconds, and mom had the sense to put it back before we could devour it. Simple. Cold. Refreshing. Fun. I forgot about how hot it was, and mom focused on putting a smile on our faces instead of interrogating us. What a wonderful, simple treat that was.

What would happen if everyone stop eating meat?
Imagine if a wizard of meatless dining suddenly appeared on Earth and with one wave of a wand wiped away all meat from our shelves— along with any desire to eat it.

The Cat from Outer Space brought Chicken and Dumplings
BANG! Tires squeal as my Mom jerks the steering wheel of our Ford pick-up, left and right. I flop around in my seat like a ragdoll, the seatbelt doing little to hold me in place as the vehicle comes to a stop. I blink and push myself upright as my head throbs and my knee aches. I look at my Mom. She leans against the door and laboring to catch her breath.

Filling the Soul
In the heart of a particularly challenging winter, when the weight of life seemed to settle heavily on my shoulders, a dear friend gifted me a dish that became both a physical and emotional sustenance. It was a classic chicken and wild rice soup, a recipe passed down through generations in her family. The circumstances were far from ideal—a series of setbacks had left me feeling drained and disheartened. Amidst the turmoil, her gesture of kindness manifested in a steaming bowl of comfort.

Is Zen Chocolate Real?
Then again, chocolate was regarded as a form of medicine, and truth be known, it was actually a form of currency from the fruit of the cacao trees around 4,000 years ago. The Aztecs were onto something, and no wonder why the "Golden Ticket" is ever so elusive and valuable. Another fun fact: Ruby Chocolate became so popular, that it is low on supply; no different to certain types of honey. (Then again, we still have white, milk, and dark varieties to feast on, and to enjoy).
