For the next several days I will be posting about the World Congress of Families. This year it is being held in Sydney, Australia.  Remember how we helped to raise funds for Angela to attend? She is sending daily reports of the presentations, interviews she is able to have, and more. I am excited to share with you what she is experiencing. There are so many around the world - politicians, religious leaders, community organizers, trained professionals, and others - who are dedicated to defending the family. I will try to post each day's events in order so you are not reading them backwards as you scroll down. I have broken up Angela's summaries into several posts so it isn't overwhelming to see a HUGE post. Remember, if you have any questions you would like her to ask when she gives her interviews, leave them in the comments and I will pass them along to her.

Mexican Corn Chowder


This is the perfect soup to warm you up on a cold winter evening. Wonderful flavors combine for a delicious bowl of comfort food. Make sure to pass the hot pepper sauce around for personal adjustment of the spiciness.

Mexican Corn Chowder

* 1/2 c cooked onions
* 1-2 cloves garlic - minced
* 1 can chicken broth (2 cups)
* 1/2 - 1 tsp cumin, ground
* 2 c half & half
* 3 c cheese - monterey jack, shredded
* 2 cans creamed style corn
* 1 can green chilies, chopped & undrained
* a few dashes of hot pepper sauce

Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at least you'll get one thing done. ☺ There, don't you feel better?

Please leave a comment! I enjoy hearing your thoughts, whether you agree with me or not. If we all agreed on everything how boring would that be? Worse than eating white chocolate, because it's fake. So be real, be yourself.
