Daily life during a pandemic is unnerving enough without constant worries over whether you will go hungry tomorrow or have enough nutritious, sustaining meals to feed your family. This ongoing shortage has become more crucial than ever as local hunger relief programs observed a 40% rise in food insecurity and the need for assistance during the pandemic. I vividly remember being a young mother, scrimping to buy my toddler meat and vegetables and being grateful for my own meal of oatmeal and tea. The current situation is even more challenging, due in part to the constraints imposed by Covid-19.\nAccess to nourishing food is difficult for countless people in rural, inner city and low-income communities. Many people are forced to eat the most highly processed and least nutritious food - because it is the only food available and affordable near home. Although highly processed food may help people meet their calorie needs, it does not provide the essential nutrients necessary to keep them healthy. Many forms of malnutrition result from these circumstances.\nThankful for being retired, healthy and financially secure, I spent my time in isolation improving my own health and creating this cookbook in support of people facing a lack of proper nourishment. My objective is to share wholesome, comforting, and thrifty recipes to help all cooks be more creative using whatever ingredients are available. All royalties from the sale of this publication will go to the local food bank and my neighbors experiencing food insecurity during these challenging times.

Trump: The Chosen One: Road to Perdition

With his threat to use military action to "dominate" U.S. citizens engaging in overwhelmingly peaceful protests, Donald Trump has shown America his true autocratic tendencies and desire to rule this nation with an iron fist. Trump: The Chosen One. Road to Perdition explores his seduction of the Christian Right with the promise of conservative pro-life Supreme Court nominees. It reveals his willingness to give tacit approval of the hatred and bigotry promoted by white supremacists and the alt-right movement that support him, and his use of fear mongering of immigrants to further the practice of divisive politics to drive a wedge between Americans, to aid in his reelection efforts. Trump: The Chosen One. Road to Perdition chronicles the abysmal governance under Donald Trump -- characterized by greed, corruption, hypocrisy, racism, sexism, homophobia, misogyny, and attacks on a free press and the rule of law. The book explores the incompetence and inadequacies of Trump and his administration to handle the coronavirus as well as the failures of both our foreign and domestic policies including the destruction of vital government institutions, the intelligence community, and our Justice Department. The authors conclude that there are three plausible explanations for Trump's behavior, any one of which would provide reasons enough to vote him out of office. What might appear to be inexplicable, nonsensical behavior may actually be strategic, and lead to events that endanger our democracy while benefitting Vladimir Putin, Russia and ultimately Trump himself. The authors call for Americans to shed their indifference, take back our country, and instill a moral compass lest we succumb to tyranny.

Many years have passed since the dark tide of violent and malevolent creatures spilled into the realm from the ancient portal that should never have been opened. Adamar, an elderly but legendary elven swordsman sent to track the incursion, had found a small frightened girl, Lauriel Valendril, hiding in the shattered remnants of her destroyed elven village. After taking her in as his own, he finds that her traumatic experience creates an unrivaled ambition to learn to protect herself and others, and he begins to train her in the ancient and secretive elven fighting style of the Andulari.\nThrough fierce determination and unrelenting practice, Lauriel unequivocally becomes one of his best students and masters the graceful but deadly technique at a very young age. Hearing murmurs of the ancient evil re-emerging, and sensing that his time to stand and fight has passed, Adamar gives Lauriel a gift that has been hidden from the realm for many ages—Isilmwé, an ancient blade of power, and with it, the responsibility to unlock the true power of the blade and defend the realm.\nThe defenses of the realm quickly fall one by one and together with a wizard, warlock, healer, and fighter, Lauriel pushes forward on a quest to close the portal before all is lost. What began as a pursuit to avenge her family, ultimately turns into a battle for the very survival of the realm—a battle that Lauriel has trained her entire life to fight.
