Wether it be part of an innuendo, a sub-context, flat out blatant in your face, or anything between, it's undeniable that sex is an integral part in not only our culture, but our everyday life.Spanish Tapas
On Wednesday night when I got home from work my sister was home and my dad was in the kitchen preparing a Spanish tapas feast! I've been craving Spanish food for some time now and I threw down my stuff, slapped on my apron, and helped him finish up the meal. We had tortilla, roasted peppers stuffed with marinated tuna roll ups, gambas al ajilo, patatas bravas, and pan frito con chorizo.UN Budgets and Follow the Money
UN Budgets and Follow the Money Kenneth Anderson • November 8, 2009 9:01 pm The New York Times reports on budget season at the UN and various battles hotting up.
