Absolutely loved this post. I share your feelings about "being blessed" and have voiced my discomfort with the phrase on more than one occasion. The Carlos prefer to say that we are "lucky enough" because most of our good fortune is simply that. Lucky enough to be born where, when, and to whom....lucky enough to not have a serious illness...lucky enough. I have a similar problem with the phrase, "there but for the grace of God....". What does that mean for those afflicted with whatever it was the grace of God protected me from???? Anyway, great post and thanks always for the meal ideas. My family loved the White Bean and Garlic soup we had last night!
