Today we went to Barnes and Noble again, which is fast becoming my favorite way to spend a Sunday morning. I am, by the way, "Lisa" when I go to the Barnes and Noble cafe.
I picked up a copy of "a long way gone, memoirs of a boy soldier" by Ishmael Beah. It sounds terrifying and sad, but I really want to read it. I think child soldiers are one of the greatest tragedies of our time, and it doesn't get enough attention.
I also found this beautiful cookbook! It's full of Moroccan, Turkish, and Lebanese recipes! I'm so excited, it has a recipe for preserved lemons, which I have so far been unable to find down here.
Tonight I made quesadillas with ground turkey, black beans, corn, onions, and queso fresco. I'd post the recipe but I think that a list of ingredients is sufficient, as quesadillas are pretty dang easy to figure out.
Happy Sunday!
Beah's memoir is an eloquent, but difficult read (emotionally), for certain. You'll be glad you read it, as there's hope within it.
