Yael Naim
This is my new favorite artist. Her voice is superb. Her style is lovely. She's a French citizen of Jewish descent and about half the songs on the album are in Hebrew. If you don't speak Hebrew, consider them instrumentals! 
Every song on the album is a gem. GET IT NOW!
Daquiri and Stewie
Here are Adé and Lawana's kitties. Stewie is the grey dude. Daquiri is the orange tabby. They are my favorite cats.
Cranberry Salsa Dip with Cream Cheese
Thanks to Tara and Ryan for this recipe! I was assured its not a family secret. It was the best hors d'oeuvre I've ever had.
Cranberry Salsa Dip with Cream Cheese
1 (12-ounce bag) or 3 cups fresh cranberries, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup minced green onions
2 small (approximately 2 tablespoons) jalapeno peppers, cored, seeded and minced
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, minced
2 tablespoons finely grated fresh ginger
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese
Cranberries and/or cilantro sprigs for garnish
Rinse, drain, and pick over cranberries, (discarding all that are soft or bruised). Place them in a food processor; pulse until finely chopped but not mushy.
Place crushed cranberries in a bowl; mix together with onions, jalapeno peppers, sugar, cilantro leaves, ginger, and lemon juice. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours so flavors develop (salsa will be too sharp and tart to begin with).
On a serving plate, place cream cheese; cover with the dip. Garnish, if desired, and served with crackers.
