It takes no time at all to bake the cups for a couple of minutes, mix the filling, pipe in and decorate to your choice.

Brandy Milk Punch
My foodie heart comes from the city where I was born, raised and lived for over fifty years. In New Orleans, it is always about the restaurants. My parents and my maternal grandmother Memére most enjoyed the seafood places that diced Lake Pontchartrain. These were popular, unique, crowded on Friday nights, and all independently run. But Lenfant’s was my most favorite, close to our home in Lakeview, an upper middle class New Orleans neighborhood that changed drastically post Hurricane Katrina. There were starched white table cloths in the old pink building at Lenfant’s, and it was located next to a noisy railroad track. Demolished completely in later years, my visual memory still holds a clear, unforgettable picture of us sitting and enjoying the best ever seafood.

Cooking for the neighbors
Wiping sweat from her brow, with hands triumphantly on her hips, Arya looked down at her counter. Plated and pretty, she completed the final recipe for her cookbook, her dad’s manti recipe. Armenian dumplings, smothered in a stewed tomato sauce, topped with strained yogurt and brown butter. The earthy cumin fragrance and the sharp scent of sumac lingered in her apartment. Her neighbors have grown quite used to the smell, and the deliveries coming from Arya’s apartment these past few months. At least twice a week, she heads to the Fausto’s apartment, decked in her wildly Jackson Pollack-ed apron, with a bit of fresh bread, baked goods, and sometimes full meals, when her feverish day of cooking ends. They are always grateful, and even give her honest feedback when she asks. Every recipe, and “Fausto feedback,” is recorded in her little black notebook: very used, with sauce and grease stains on almost every page. She bought that book the same day she lost her job, two months earlier.

Money Where Your Mouth Is
The steak drips with blood as I pluck it up with finger and thumb, its liquids pooling in the folds of the butcher paper. The curtains are drawn. Nobody can see inside, but I glance over my shoulder anyway before running the lurid beef under cold water, jaw throbbing and stomach churning as the crimson evidence of the animal's pain and suffering washes down the drain. I shudder to think of the kind brown eyes that used to rely on that blood—maybe the neighbours should know my shame. I hate myself for this.

Food and Beverage Shortage Because of Coronavirus
Everybody might remember how certain items were disappearing from store shelves when the coronavirus pandemic first started throughout the world in 2020. Consumers stocked up on toilet paper, paper towels, disinfectant wipes, household bleach, hand sanitizer, and face masks. Those products were completely missing from store shelves during that time. There were also times when certain meats and other products were limited to customers. They could buy only one or two of the same item. The coronavirus pandemic is still going on, but many of those items are plentiful now. However, other products are in high demand and are beginning to be hard to find.

Veganism 101: The Holy Grail of Veganism
Why should anyone or everyone go Vegan? Why should we protect animals from slaughter or exploitation? Is Veganism healthy? What about working out? Does one need to worry about Health if working out happens enough? The ethical/moral dilemmas I have presented before this will show statements that dissect Veganism's reasoning. The plan is to demonstrate examples and thoroughly explain the relevance of the models throughout this article. By the way, if this article makes anyone want to go Vegan and does, or if there are Vegans out there reading this, Vitamin B12 is not found in plants; therefore, we all need to make sure to take Vitamin B12 according to the Forks Over Knives team of Plant-Based Doctors.

Have a Slice of Savory Pie
England One of the most popular kinds of savory pies that come from England is Shepherd's Pie. It is more like a casserole than a pie but is still called pie. This is a delectable combination of minced lamb or mutton meat but can be made with ground beef. It includes onions, carrots, peas, Worcestershire sauce, thick gravy, and seasonings. Once placed in the baking pan they are all topped with buttery, creamy mashed potatoes and baked in the oven.

Carnivore!
have a confession. I am a carnivore. I’m also extremely weird. Let me explain the carnivore part first. You see, I LOVE meat. I can eat chicken, literally, every single day and not get tired of it. Porkchops? Bring it on. Beef? Oh, heaven! And that’s just listing the basic. I think the only meat I don’t like is fish (and even then, some get a pass like canned tuna fish) and slimy seafood like oysters. And the only reason I don’t like ham is the salt content but when I can get my hands on a ham that is unsalted, oh, delish!
