Linda Caicedo, an 18-year-old Colombian soccer star who beat childhood cancer and is now tearing it up at the Women's World Cup. In her first two games, Caicedo scored twice and inspired her team to two victories, including a famous win against two-time world champion Germany. Caicedo started playing pro soccer at 14, but her dreams were put on hold when, at 15, she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. That meant surgery and chemotherapy treatment, all during the height of the pandemic. However, she overcame, and now her team — and the world — knows she's a force to be reckoned with.

Who doesn't like pizza?? 

This crust topped with minced beef is a traditional dish called lahmacun.

   The ultimate comfort food that traces its roots to Naples, Italy, has been adapted by cultures all over the world. Italians have even devised a series of lists of the best pizzas outside of Italy. It can be made with a near endless variety of toppings, he says, allowing individuals to create a pizza that’s just to their liking. 

  In  Miami, features gouda along with the traditional mozzarella, and the toppings -- think chorizo, beef or plantains -- are baked right into the pie. In Turkey and Turkish communities around the world, they do street food right with Lahmacun, a flatbread topped with some combination of parsley, lemon, onion, tomato, and meat like beef or lamb. It's nice and foldable, too, so you can stuff as much in your mouth as you like.

New Yorkers just fold their slices to eat on the move.

Jacki, your collage makes me feel the fighting.

Often, I ask myself what I could do out of my trash. Declutter is really difficult.

Thank you, Elenor, I agree, I have way too much and it is hard to purge.

Fire, explosion, and fireworks come to mind when I look at this piece. Soon I can look over your shoulder and see you working. :-)

Yes, time is flying by. I spend 3-4 hours a day on this silly blog, so you will probably tire of it.
