Do-it-yourself crunchy snacks
Making crackers at home sounds like a cozy way to spend a dreary Sunday afternoon. As this sesame cracker recipe calls for only five ingredients, you just might already have everything you need in your kitchen.
- *1 1/4 cups whole-wheat flour
- *1/2 cup toasted sesame seeds
- *1/2 teaspoon salt
- *5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or sesame oil
- *4 to 5 tablespoons water, as needed
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees with the racks positioned in the middle and upper third. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix together the flour, sesame seeds and salt in a mixing bowl, in the bowl of a stand mixer, or in a food processor fitted with a steel blade. If using a mixing bowl, add the oil and cut in with a fork. If using a stand mixer, mix at medium speed. In a food processor, pulse until the mixture is crumbly. Add the water, and mix with your hands, or at medium speed in a mixer or in the food processor, until you can gather the dough into a ball.
- Lightly dust your work surface and roll out the dough, or roll out between pieces of parchment, plastic or wax paper. Cut into desired shapes — squares, diamonds or cookie-cutter shapes — and place on the baking sheet, close together but not touching.
- Bake 15 to 20 minutes until lightly browned, switching the sheet trays front to back and top to middle halfway through. Remove from the heat, and allow to cool on racks.
Life is a question of nerves, and fibres, and slowly built-up cells in which thought hides itself and passion has its dreams. You may fancy yourself safe and think yourself strong. But a chance tone of colour in a room or a morning sky, a particular perfume that you had once loved and that brings subtle memories with it, a line from a forgotten poem that you had come across again, a cadence from a piece of music that you had ceased to play… I tell you, that it is on things like these that our lives depend.

Secret kingdom
There’s a secret kingdom, all my own
With no castles, and no vassals, and no throne
Just two subjects you and me
In my private monarchy
Where the king is Love, and Love Alone
In that secret kingdom that you see
Should the make-believe become reality
With no scepter in your hand
No dominion to command
Could you be content with only me?
What is a song that’s never sung?
What is a heart that’s never thrilled to being young?
What is a dream that can’t come true?
What is my life to me without my love for you?
