‘CHEESY’ CASHEW QUESO Inspired by GoodHousekeeping.com
Ingredients
• 2 large poblano peppers, halved and seeded • 1 tbsp olive oil • 2 cloves garlic, pressed • 1 cup cashews
Bad things happen — there’s no way around it. Accidents, injuries, and unfair situations are an unfortunate part of life. But when they occur, how do we restore balance? How do we help someone move forward after they’ve lost something they can never fully get back? In an ideal world, justice would mean turning back time and making things right. If someone is injured, we erase the injury. If a loved one is lost due to negligence, we bring them back. That would be perfect justice. But we don’t live in a world where that’s possible. Instead, our justice system does what it can — it provides money justice. I get it. The phrase money justice doesn’t exactly sound inspiring. It’s an imperfect system, but it’s the best we’ve got. Thousands of years ago, justice was more about an eye for an eye. Today, we’re more civilized. We can’t undo the harm, but we can provide financial compensation to acknowledge the loss, help someone rebuild, and restore balance in an unfair situation. However, one of the biggest misconceptions is that filing a lawsuit is something to feel guilty about. I can’t tell you how often I’ve heard a new client say, “I’m not the type of person to sue.” And every time, I want to tell them that’s exactly what the insurance industry wants you to believe. Here’s the truth: If someone’s negligence has harmed you or someone you love, you should be able to seek justice. You should be able to regain some of what was taken from you. Holding people and companies accountable isn’t being “sue- happy” — it’s ensuring fairness still exists in an imperfect world. So, when something tragic happens, think about this: Is there a way to rebalance the scales? Is there an opportunity to restore some sense of fairness? Justice isn’t about revenge. It’s about ensuring someone has a path forward when they are wronged. And at the end of the day, that’s not something to feel bad about; it’s something to stand up for. But It Can Help You Rebuild JUSTICE CAN’T UNDO HARM
