Usually, we choose songs we like by the melody, the lyrics, and by the musical genre. I’m starting a series with songs from all kinds of genres going according to the alphabet. Here are songs with titles that begin with the letter R. Links will be posted below as we proceed through the ABCs. At the end, you’ll find the links to the songs with titles that begin with the letters A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, and Q.

A Delicious Latvian Treat
This little snack-sized roll in singular One pirags is made of baked dough stuffed with lean bacon, finely chopped onions and salt and pepper. If made right it isn’t greasy but downright delicious. In English they have been referred to as “bacon buns”. Piragi are usually baked on special occasions and holidays. However, sometimes I bake up a batch just to have something to munch on and it’s so much better than any of the usual snacks everyone is always noshing on.

Let’s Bake a Cake
Let’s face it I think most people would agree with me seeing a cake is a cause for putting a smile on one’s face and a cause for celebration. Sometimes it is nice just to bake a cake to make a day special. In the modern world it is simple to just buy a cake mix and before you know it you are taking a freshly baked cake out of the oven. However, I still think that nothing can compare to a cake made from scratch. Let these cakes inspire you and happy baking.

Lima on the Pacific Coast
The capital of Peru, Lima lies on the arid Pacific coast. It is one of South America’s largest cities. Plaza de Armas also known as Plaza Mayor is a broad square and the historical center of Lima. Even though most of the buildings from the original city were lost in an earthquake in 1746 there is an original structure remaining – the bronze fountain in the center, built in 1651. Today it is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The square is surrounded by the Archbishop’s Palace, the Casa del Oidor, and the Palacio del Gobierno, the official residence of the president. It was built on the spot where Jose San Martin declared the Independence of Peru on July 28, 1821. On weekends at noon, you can see the changing of the guard.
