How can commenting on cake pops be a bad assignment? Any project that starts with research by eating has my name on it. Thanks to the internet, the world is my oyster and so I eat, research, write and submit. This time, the rest was left to Phorum Dalal in Mumbai who produced this delightful article for the Sunday Mid-Day.

Here's an article by writer Mackensy Lunsford that offers some Easter and lamb history and a new application for 8 oz of our fizzy favorite - Coca-Cola!

Coca-Cola has lots more for you - visit http://www.coca-colacompany.com - it's an amazing collection of images and info. Take a journey from today's hip, modern Coke world all the way back to olden days to have a look at some very old fashioned Coca-Cola memorabilia!

I suddenly remembered this easy recipe with a spicy kick - great on the side, as a main dish, or wrapped in a warm tortilla.

Stew meat, diced potatoes, diced chipotles, diced red onion tossed with fresh avocado slices and lime juice.

It's probably poverty food but call me a VERY big fan of this basic, mouth-watering beef and potato delight!
