expensive and people believe that because for three people to eat at Mama Roja that would total up to be fifty dollars and their people that would just go somewhere cheaper.

However, as people usually they wouldn 't think a middle class person would go to this restaurant it 's usually high class people that do. But how would anybody know if they won’t try the…

Enlightenment at Papi’s Cuban Restaurant Food is a great way to reach people and make them feel sensations they have never felt before.

She’d say to make sure I spread it evenly and to not add too much or too little. My mother an expert at making them made it seem so easy to…

At time it can be very hard to do this and sometimes we don't even realize what we are doing to the person's feelings. For the other person this can be very hard on them. We need to take the time before we say something to think about whether or not it is going to crush this person. In The Tire Iron and The Tamale it wasn't what…
