How did your life collide with the headlines in 2007?
Iraq, the subprime crisis, Facebook, immigration, oil prices - 2007 had no shortage of hefty headlines. We'd like to hear about how these and other major news events of the past year affected you. Where did your life collide with the news in 2007?

What's your holiday performance story?
The office talent show, the neighborhood caroling posse, the school pageant ... At holiday time we often sing, dance, and dress as shepherds. Did you bloom in the warmth of your audience's adulation, or freeze up like the snowman you'd rather be building? Did your holiday performance change your life or that of someone close to you?

Farghalli Mohamed's recipe for Fuul
One can of Fuul Madamas (also known as fava beans) you can find fuul in any Middle Eastern/Iranian grocery store
One tomato (coarsely diced)
1/2 cup of chopped onions
Some oil (vegetable oil or olive oil or butter)

Optional:
Lemon Juice
Feta Cheese
Arabic bread/pita bread

1)Warm fuul in the pan. As the water from the can starts to evaporate, pour in a tablespoon of oil (also can substitute with a large pat of butter). Lower the heat to a simmer. As it begins to bubble, add chopped tomatoes and onions. Continue to simmer for 5 to 10 minutes.

At this point, you can drizzle the beans with a little lemon. You can also heat a piece of pita bread...and put the fuul mixture in the bread, making a sandwich. Add a few crumbs of feta cheese inside the sandwich.
