medium heat until the pieces are browned.

Remove with a slotted spoon to paper towels.

Discard all but 1 tablespoon of bacon grease.

Stir in onions and mushrooms, and cook until

3. In a large bowl, stir together beef, egg, and

Pomegranate-Ginger Sparklers

Ingredients 1 cup sugar 1/4 cup finely minced peeled ginger 1 bottle (750 ml) cava or other dry sparkling wine 1/2 teaspoon pomegranate molasses

Directions Combine the sugar, 1 cup water and the ginger in a

saucepan over medium-low heat; allow to come to a

gentle simmer, stirring until the sugar has completely

“When I say it’s you I like, I’m talking about that part of you that knows that life is far more than anything you can ever see or hear or touch. That deep part of you that allows you to stand for those things without which human-kind cannot survive. Love that conquers hate, peace that rises triumphant over war, and justice that proves more powerful than greed.”

― Fred Rogers

“Can miles truly separate you from friends... If you want to be with someone you love, aren’t you already there?” ― Richard Bach

“Anybody can sympathise with the sufferings of a friend, but it requires a very fi ne nature to sympathise with a friend’s success.”
