Good Friends. Good Food.: Food and Friends
http://goodfriendsgoodfood.blogspot.com/2008/10/food-and-friends.html
Sunday, October 5, 2008. So last Wednesday or maybe it was Thursday, I made this excellent mac and cheese recipe. Honestly, it was out of this world. Since Ejim. Doesn't like mac and cheese. I was sad that I had no one to share this little taste of goodness with. Then I came up with the idea of having a blog to share yummy recipes. And the stories about them. To be happy, one needs both good friends and good food. So cheers to both and Enjoy! 1 box of elbow pasta, cooked al dente. 1 cup chopped onion.

Good Friends. Good Food.: “Whateva you got” Pizza
http://goodfriendsgoodfood.blogspot.com/2010/09/whateva-you-got-pizza.html
Wednesday, September 1, 2010. 8220;Whateva you got” Pizza. Bread (either pita bread or a sandwich wrap). Whole wheat sandwich wrap bread. Roasted Garlic Marinara Sauce. I’m guessing an elaborate ‘how to’ explanation is unnecessary. Now I must admit; this is not a new idea. If we were to go back and find the historical founder of ‘Whateva you got” pizza it would probably be a desperate college student stuck inside during a snow day with no hope for a pizza delivery.

Perhaps this awakening began during Ramadan, which I tried to make meaningful by reflecting on religion (notably my Christian background and experiences with Islam) and my beliefs, which often do not align with religion. Nowadays I dwell over concepts read and re-read in Conversations with God. Conversations, I ask a lot of q. Who chooses these standards?
