This is a time greater than ever to especially remember the massive numbers of native peoples who have been nearly or entirely wiped out when the Americas were “discovered”, and why I make a point to embrace my heritage now more than ever. The recipe will be in only English, translated from a book passed down from my bisabuela (great grandmother) when she came from Cuba

Brettley Witte Veterans Day is a holiday to celebrate the veterans who served in the military. Veterans Day is different from Memorial Day in May. Veterans Day was created to remember the ending of WWI on November 11, 1918, at 11 AM (11/11/1918). The war ended on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. Veterans Day is a day for celebrating the service of all who have worn the uniform, not just those who died in combat. It is largely intended to thank living veter
