Baba Ghanoush is perfect because it is so versatile - you can use it as a spread on your gluten-free crackers, as a dipping sauce for meat/chicken, or with a spoon, straight out of the bowl (my personal favorite). Luckily, this tasty treat is also not just good, it's good for you. Eggplant is a low in calories and a good source of folate.

4 Signs You Are in a "Fake" Relationship

A relationship is one in which both people are free to be themselves, yet there is no shortage of intimacy. No fear that doing what you love or being who you are or taking time for yourself will drive the other person away. In a relationship, neither person needs the other to "complete" them. What's Really Warming the World? Climate deniers blame natural factors; NASA ... Climate scientists tend not to report climate results in whole temperatures. Instead, they talk about how the annual temperature departs from an average, or baseline.

They call these departures "anomalies. " They do this because temperature anomalies are more consistent in an area than absolute temperatures are.

Doch auch das Eis ist nicht mehr das, was es einmal war.
