*** This was to go up yesterday, until Tuesday’s earthquake devastated Haiti. Rather than cancel the post, I’m posting it with this suggestion… Think about the comfort food you love, the things you love to do, the people in your life whom you love – really generate in your heart an intense feeling of love – and send that to the people of Haiti and to the souls who have so suddenly been separated from their bodies. Please don’t read any further; take a minute or two to pray in this way. ***
If you lived in Somalia, you’d probably reach for injera bread and subag butter. As for North American Hunger Program facebook fans, here are their choices!

Cassava. Boiled until it is soft and moist. Or fried, and then top it with ‘mojo’ –
# 1 teaspoon chopped garlic;
# 1 tablespoon lime juice;
# 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.

pumpkin… usually baked into bread, but sometimes in other forms. I usually end up cooking one or two whole pumpkins per winter, storing the squished squash in the fridge or freezer, and using for baking as the opportunity arises.
