From New Life in KL!, 6 days ago, Similar articles
Quick review on a new place at Publika. Plus points- love the chocolate cappuccino- tiramisu yummy- pasta (seafood pasta and the other one with mushroom cream) both were yummy and tasty and unexpected for a small restaurant like theirs - hubby loved the cod fish order Bad points- food portion were small!!! All 5 adults with me at that time (last Sunday lunch time) had the same conclusion... Food was small, we needed to order dessert to fill the "gap"- hubby said his dish was small, so small...

From At Home In Rome, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles
The story of leggerezza begins … well, I don’t really know where it begins, exactly. All I know is that it ends in a tattoo on my upper arm, about t-shirt sleeve length and width, inked on my the weekend of my 35th birthday in Amsterdam by easily the world’s best tattoo artist EVER (Marco Serio I heart you, yes I do!) and designed by the world’s best friend and best artist EVER (Ele my dear you are the one for me!).

National Geographic has just published an article on travellers. It covers Homer (8th C BC), Xuanzang (602-664), Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), Freya Stark (1893-1993), Michael Palin (1943-present), and Kira Salak (1971-present), which I thought was an interesting selection.

Berlin is Blooming
From Snooker in Berlin, 2 weeks ago, Similar articles
Easter Egg Tree Ah, I love spring and most of what comes with it. Here in Berlin it brings the people out. Many of us have been trapped inside for months now. The winter weather in the Hauptstadt is simply put, not pleasant. Temperatures hovering at the 0 mark (32F) for months on end, a gray blanket which serves as a sky shielding us from the sun; these things are considered normal through the harsh Berlin winter. Spring on the Spree To remain true to our Berlin heritage, the...

When I wrote about the busy day we had on my birthday last Friday, I mentioned in passing that I wasn't going to have a cake this year, since Tim was not here. So imagine my surprise and delight when, having supper with our good friends Mark and Joan last night, they produced this as a slightly belated birthday cake for me: It was beautiful, although Joan said that the icing (frosting) was a little runny. It was also extremely delicious - a carrot cake, with pineapple and...

thought for today...godly graffiti
From Blackpurls knitpickings, 4 weeks ago, Similar articles
We live on a dirt road and we work in an office on a dirt road so our little SUV gets dusty.  It gets washed and then gets dusty again...the cycle is endless.  It is fairly common to see various messages written on car windows around the city.  This was the message left on our car the other day. There are passages in Matthew, Mark and Luke that say "Love your neighbor as you love yourself".  But our tagger flipped the message. "Love yourself as you love your neighbor."...

The cauliflower at the markets in Normandy right now are irresistible. Not only for their price - 2 heavy, generous heads for only ?2 - but for their versatility. So how happy was I to recently stumble across this cauliflower article in the NY Times by Mark Bittman' One Vegetable, Four Meals. Thank you Mr. Bittman! Â

Keeping it Simple with Pasta and Cauliflower Recipe
From Bleeding Espresso, 1 month ago, Similar articles
Pasta with cauliflower Way back when I started this blog, I posted recipes every week in a series called What’s Cooking Wednesday. I started out wanting to record the recipes I make all the time, many of which come from my family — my grandmother’s meatballs and Italian wedding soup, my mom’s chocolate cake and apple pie, and even our neighbor Louise’s banana cake. I expanded into including some of P’s mom’s recipes, true Calabrian treasures, like her...
