I wish, my friends, that we could all know that kind of innocence again. Where things like someone intentionally blowing up fellow humans for no reason, was so far out of reach to be true. I wish it wasn’t our reality.

I have some really great recipes I want to share with you, but I just can’t. I get so wrapped up in things like this…seeing the unfathomable take place to innocent people. It’s just too much and I can’t pretend it’s not happening.

In the meantime, I ask that you please give as much attention to the victims of this horrible crime as we are to the suspects. Sean Collier, Krystle Campbell, Martin Richard, and Lingzi Lu…they are whose names we need to remember in the coming months and years. We owe it to them.  In addition, there are victims who still have their lives, but who have lost so much. Please remember to keep them in your prayers.

What happened in Boston is the act of two monsters..Their ethnicity, place of birth, etc. does not matter.The broad brush being used right now in media is sick. They are monsters… nothing else. God bless our protectors, who are risking their lives at this time to keep Boston safe.

Thanks for reading… I know this isn’t a normal Dine & Dish type post, but as a space to clear my mind, I had to get some of this off my chest.

Boston, stay strong. We’re praying for you.
