No despair of ours can alter the reality of things,
or stain the joy of the cosmic dance
which is always there...
We are invited to forget ourselves on purpose,
cast our awful solemnity to the winds,
and join in the general dance!
- Thomas Merton
Sorry its been awhile. I've been busy dancing. At least trying. On purpose. And eating tostones.
Mom ate these when she was a child in Puerto Rico, and they are one of my all time favorite treats! See that blurry hand? People wouldn't keep their mitts off.
Here's how you do it....
1. Buy those funny banana looking things at the store called Plantains.
2. Let them get super ripe.
3. Slice them and spread them out on a cookie sheet sprayed with Pam. Spray the bananas with Pam too, and sprinkle with salt.
4. Bake them for 10 minutes at 425 degrees.
5. Flip them over and bake them for 10 minutes longer.
6. Salt them again.
7. Eat eat eat eat eat eat eat eat eat.
I know its 87 degrees out today, but fall is in the air, begging to change our season. The kids are in school, praise the lord. And this life, it is good. So forget yourself on purpose and dance!!!
