FOREVER - by Rachelle Dominique Estrada

FOREVER   by Rachelle Dominique Estrada This must be love, what we share. Because there's nobody else for whom I care. I love you more and more everyday. Even though you seem so very far away. There's not a day that passes I don't think of you. Your kisses, your tender touch, and love, which has to be true. I know you messed up, but loving is forgiving. And without you, there is no living. Being with you feels so right, I just wish we never have another argument or fight. Our time together is precious,  So when we're together, please don't rush us. Sometimes I wonder how long we'll be together, Making wishes that our love will last forever. But we both know that wishes don't always come true. So for now we'll just do what we have to do. Remember that for anything, you can count on me. Because no matter what, here for you is where I'll always be. And nobody will ever love you more than I do. Even if they say it, you know it's not true. Well I know how to make our love last, And if you want to know how, just ask.

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME - by Ann Marie Gonzalez

IT'S  BEEN  A  LONG  TIME  by Ann Marie Gonzalez IT has been a long night  and I'm still waiting to hear your voice It has been a long night  and I wonder if you're thinking about me. It has been a long night  and I'm waiting for your soft hand to caress my face and to gently touch my lips. It has been a long night  and I wait to hear the sound of your footsteps coming down the hall to be with me. It has been a long night  and I wait for the scent of your cologne  to linger around me and remind me of days gone by. It has been a long night  and I wait for your Silhouette  to block the moonlight that streams in through the window. It has been a long night  because I wait for daylight so I can find  myself in your arms again.

HOPE - by Catherine Pulsifer

HOPE by  Catherine Pulsifer When life is getting you down, and you need a little hope. Look deep down inside yourself, and you'll find the way to cope. When life is getting you down, and you need a little love. Go to the person whom you are the closest, as the rest they are above. When life is getting you down, and all you need is a laugh. Find the friend that makes you smile, they may even be your staff. When life is getting you down, don't allow it so. Change the way you think of life, and life will be better, you know. When life is getting you down, don't sit and mope Take action and always have hope. When life is getting you down, take time to pray Don't allow yourself to frown God will help you see the blessings of the day.

ITALIAN EGGPLANT - ''PARMIGIANO''

Eggplant and this time - in the Italian version  -  Eggplant "Parmigiano" or melanzane alla parmigiana - casserole with cheese, eggplant and tomato sauce. Very tasty and the dish is a hot appetizer . 

I would only supplement it with a salad of fresh vegetables.


INGREDIENTS - for 6-8 servings:

For casserole

large eggplant - 3 pcs.
mozzarella cheese - 450 gr
Parmesan or similar cheese - 50 g
salt and pepper to taste

For the sauce

tomatoes in their own juice - 600 grams
garlic - 3 cloves
sugar - 1 tsp
Provencal herbs - 1 tsp
salt 

RECIPE:

We cut eggplants as thinly as possible - along or across. I cut across.

Cooking the sauce. Crumpled tomatoes with the juice put in a saucepan. Add the grated garlic, Provencal herbs, salt and sugar. 

Cook on medium heat for about 10 minutes. 

Grate mozzarella on a coarse grater

Grate Parmesan on a fine grater.

Next, before assembling the casserole, the eggplant is most often fried. I put them raw because when frying, they absorb too much oil.  Divide the chopped eggplant into 4 parts. At the bottom of the form we put a couple of spoons of sauce. Place a quarter of eggplant on the sauce. 

Put a quarter of mozzarella and a third of parmesan.

Put a third of the sauce on the cheese.

Repeat the layers. Sprinkle the last layer of eggplant with the last quarter of mozzarella.

We put in the oven preheated to 190 degrees and bake for 30-35 minutes. We take out of the oven, let stand directly in the form of 10-15 minutes, then cut into portions and serve.
