You can never be free of their criticism until you no longer seek their praise...
Perhaps our eyes need to be washed by our tears once in a while, so that we can see Life with a clearer view again.
Never ruin an apology with an excuse.

Hungarian Goulash
from the kitchen of Ellenelizabeth Cernek
3 lbs of beef cubes bite size (cooks quicker)
32 oz chicken broth
3 cubes beef bouillon cubes
4 large onions diced
1 head of garlic diced
1 can of tomato sauce (If you like chunky sauces use a can of diced tomatoes, slice onion and garlic on the larger size.)
2 tablespoons Hungarian paprika
2 tablespoons red pepper
3 tablespoons basil
2 tablespoons thyme
3 12oz sour cream
Coat bottom of a large soup pot with oil. When oil is heated add onions, and garlic browning them remove from pot into a separate bowel (you will return them into pot). Brown beef cubes, do it in batches, so you fry the outside of the cubes. Place finished cubes in the bowel with onion and garlic. Continue to brown all beef cubes and remove them all. Pour in chicken broth and clean up bottom of pot to get all the goodness from the fried meat. Return meat, on-ions, and garlic into chicken broth. Make sure all of the meat is covered by the chicken broth, if not add water to cover all of the meat. Add in beef bouillon cubes, bring all to a boil, then lower to a high simmer for about 1 hour. Add tomato sauce, red pepper, basil, and thyme and cook for another hour. When meat is tender, add sour cream and Hungarian paprika cook for another 1/2 hour until sauce thickens).
Best served over egg noodles or a hearty pasta.
My family loves this after it is over night in the frig something magical hap-pens to thicken the sauce even more! Great comfort food in front of roaring fire.
Captured Moments – Review by Martha A. Cheves, Author of Stir, Laugh, Repeat, A Book and A Dish, Think With Your Taste Buds
Crossroads
Life again and again
Finds only crossroads
Where now and before
Shall turn into a tomorrow.
Worry not in this
Crossroad’s time
For this will always
Pass into a yesterday.
Life again and again
Finds only crossroads,
Where life will again
Be always new.
This has to be one of my favorite. Each time I read these few words, the more I agree what that they say and mean to me. We do have a lifetime of crossroads and now does always become tomorrow.
I’m not big on reviewing poetry due to the fact that what I like you might not like, but Ellenelizabeth Cernek has written ‘songs’ that tug at my heart as well as my spirit. "Her Beach Reverie" will make you wonder about ‘Neptune’s fury’. "Empty Space" will have you remembering illusions you believed in at one time. And then there is "To Remember." It will bring back the Could-bes, Should-bes and Would-bes. Captured Moments will keep you stepping in and out of time, life and space. This is a beautiful book!

If I Knew Then What I Know Now
If I Knew Then, What I Know Now - Prompt 46
If I knew then, what I know now
You need to know that there is an end
Of a rainbow that you can listen to
There are no silver linings in the clouds
Only the golden sunset to drink in now
The journey is un-mistakenly eventful
Cherish all the burses, and pick the scabs clean
Cry the thousand tears of joy for being alive
And wear each scare as testament of your survival
Never doubt the paths you have chosen
You are where you are suppose to be
Have the guts to always be true to yourself
By not allowing others to judge your work harshly
The words of others that can be trusted
Are a special breed, you will know whom
With every unsure step or stumble
You will make strides with the lessons it will teach
Write the words that blossom from your heart
You will always have beautiful bouquets that surround
you.
Ellenelizabeth
