Rose Anderson I discovered my Vivienne had been on a student’s architectural tour in Greece several years before this sad chapter of her life. I was also surprised to discover she had herself a whirlwind romance there that ended in heartache. This brought the Greek gods to mind -- the myths are full of gods meddling in mortal lives. Winging missives between the gods and the mortals below, the god Hermes was often the messenger for this meddling. As the tale is a modern one, I chose the computer rather than a scroll to get that message across. Given a Sensual Reads Reviewers’ Choice Award for 2011, Hermes Online is an

NEXT POTATO PANCAKE
nection with a compelling man known only as
Grandma's Potato Pancakes Now here’s a comfort food for heartbreak! Recipe By Author Rosse Anderson
7 potatoes peeled and grated. (Grandma always used a box grater to grate her potatoes but you can use a food processor. Drain off any juice. Think of the texture as pulpy.) 1 yellow onion, grated to a pulp 2 beaten eggs flour salt, pepper oil for frying Optional toppings – applesauce and/or sour cream
To grated potatoes add the onion, eggs, salt and pepper, then add flour a little at a time until your mixture thickens to the consistency of sticky looking pancake batter. Your pancakes should keep their shape when you fry. Sometimes the potatoes will weep (from the onions? lol), just drain this water off carefully. Use as many potatoes as you like - simply adjust the amount of eggs, flour, and onion if you need to. Oil should be hot enough to skitter a drop of water on its surface. This is important. You don't want them soaking up the oil, just cooking in it. Turn when edges get golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Eat as is or top with applesauce and/or sour cream. Pyszne! (Delicious!)
**My Grandma had this recipe down to a science. She always used exactly 1 cup of oil and always got about ¾ cup back when she was done. The skittering water drop is her technique for limiting the amount of oil they soak up. Grandma was born in 1887 near Nowi Tauck Poland and made the long ocean voyage to a new world in her late teens. An amazing cook, she could tell you in one taste what series of ingredients made up any dish. Enjoy.

Walking the walk If you are into losing weight but not fond of weight or strength training, then walking is the best exercise for you. This low impact workout fits everyone and the results are amazing. All you have to do is wear a proper and comfortable footwear and find a nice place to walk. Nowadays you can even walk at home on a treadmill. To keep yourself entertained and interested in the walking, you can listen to music on an iPod. Another way to remain interested is by changing the place and/or the time you walk. Remember to start the walking 20 minutes or more after your meals and start slow and easy. Walk at your own pace, in other words neither faster nor longer than you can handle. If you're new at it, keep in mind that your muscles are not used to doing this workout yet, it will take you few days to get used to it just like any other workouts. Drinking water while walking is essential since it will keep dehydration from setting in. Having small sips of water while walking or during intervals in the working-out will help you to go on with the routine without feeling light-headed or tired. Walking has many benefits, some of them are:
strengthens the leg muscles. - It improves the mood, especially if walking outside. The brain will actively capture new images instead of dwelling on inner thoughts. - It improves memory and brain function since the exercise will transfer enough oxygen to the brain. - Keeps the heart strong. - Since it burns fat, it reduces the risk of diabetes. - Walking 30-40 minutes every other day along with a low-fat diet can help in losing weight. - It reduces high cholesterol and lowers blood pressure. - Walking improves blood circulation, which in turn leads to healthier skin and hair.
- It moves different parts of the body and
