February, 2010 – Our Flame Will Never Extinguish

Our Flame Will Never Extinguish

(A Tribute to the People of Haiti)

By Bito David

In this time of great sorrow
We wish we could find a light to follow
A light that would bright up our path
And appease somehow our wrath

In this time of desperation
We wish we had an explanation
To understand why our people and our nation
Have to go through this great tribulation

The candles that you brought will light up our days
We will carry them in our most precious trays
To guide us with your thoughts and a sublime wish
That this tragedy our flame will never extinguish

In this time of great sorrow
From no one a resolve we will borrow
Deep in our sources we will find the strength
To empower us to walk through the stench

In this time of great sorrow
We have to focus on our tomorrow
With a clear knowledge of our mission
To the adversary never give our submission

These candles will light up our days
We will carry them in our most precious trays
To guide us with your thoughts and a sublime wish
That this tragedy our flame will never extinguish

Editor’s Note: Bito David, a public affairs specialist for Palm Beach County schools, says he is grateful that his mother, father, sister and niece are safe following the earthquake in Haiti. They live in a town called Marin, which is about 10 miles north of Port-au-Prince.

David, who usually assists Creole-speaking parents with their day-to-day concerns, wrote a poem for a candlelight vigil held a few days after the earthquake at Toussaint L’Ouverture High School in Boynton Beach. The school’s student population is 93 percent Haitian. Thank you to David for this moment of inspiration.

February, 2010 – Easy Easy-Bake Recipe

Easy-Bake Oven Cake Using Commercial Cake Mixes

Recipe #147458

A less-expensive alternative to the small boxes.

SERVES 1

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons cake mix, any flavor
  • 1 tablespoon milk

 

Directions

1. Grease and flour pan.

2. Mix cake mix and milk until smooth. Pour into pan.
3. Bake in preheated Easy-Bake Oven about 15 minutes.
 
Here’s a review from one of the mothers who tried this:
“Wow! What a great idea. Yesterday my daughter and I used one of the little cake mixes that came with the Easy Bake Oven she recently got and it was less than pretty! Mostly I thought that it didn’t seem to be enough batter; it was hard to spead and actually fill the entire bottom of the pan. So, this morning I came across this recipe and what a difference it made! We doubled it to make a two-layer cake and both layers turned out beautifully! More like the pictures they show on the box. Thanks for the post and the great idea. I’m sure we’ll be using the Easy Bake a lot more than we would have.”
And another review:
“We think it’s delicious and a great way to save money! The mixes that came with the oven were difficult to make smooth and spreadable, but this works great! We used Jiffy mix with good results. We also had success mixing 3 T Jiffy White Frosting mix with 1 teaspoon of hot water. Makes a cheap, yummy icing. Thank you!”
