“Never worry about the size of your Christmas tree. In the eyes of children, they are all 30 feet tall.” ~Larry Wilde, The Merry Book of Christmas There are moments in life that I wish I could package up and save for later to re-experience over and over. Christmastime took on a deeper meaning for me 4 years ago today. December 16th, 2006 was a Saturday. That morning I was at Aiiku Hospital in Tokyo, Japan. I had been in labor with Squirrel for 24 hours when a...

Sorry it's been a little quiet here, we had an emergency over the weekend and everything has settled down now. I wanted to share with you these biscuits (cookies) by MUJI. They are delicious but really HARD! They'll definitely give your jaw a workout. They had two kinds...one with chocolate & sesame and the other with 4 different types of dried fruits.

Absolute Favorite, in Mancos, Colorado

Every now and then pure unexpected magic happens, a blessing, pure grace. Every now and then you make a stop and all the right things happen. We had not enjoyed our breakfast the previous morning at the Far View Lodge, so we decided to get on the road early, and find a place to eat on the road. We were up and out by seven, and it took about half an hour just to get off the mesa and down to the main road. Once we hit the main road, we start looking for a good place to stop. We see a sign: ...

 "It was very wet, we were just driving ? and looked up and realised one part of the sky was moving in one direction and another in the opposite direction," he said. "I thought: 'That looks like a tornado!' We've had a spectacular run of bad weather here in not-so-jolly England. The wettest April ever is, apparently, being followed by the wettest and coldest May ever. Last weekend saw temperatures lower than those on Christmas (Saturday's high here...
oven baked shoyu chicken
From Our Adventures in Japan, 2 weeks ago, Similar articles
I have a vivid memory of this dish. I am at our neighborhood/family Christmas party, my Aunty Marian is opening the oven and pulls out a jelly roll tray of wings and it is sizzling. Besides the chicken, there is a lot of oil and the aroma is pretty amazing. On my visit this past March, I found the recipe for this dish in a local cookbook. When I asked my Aunty, she said that it is the recipe
The Magic of Back Roads ? En Route to Albuquerque
From Here There and Everywhere, 2 weeks ago, Similar articles
I love interstate driving, it gets the job done. We love having all that room and zooming down a highway, especially if the highway is empty. We were born to drive. I also love the backroads, and the USA has some great backroads. Today is almost all backroad, and oh, what a fun driving day it is. Leaving Roswell, New Mexico, we take a route to Albuquerque through cattle country, and through Billy-the-Kid country, and Smokey-the-Bear country. We come across a giant lava flow, it goes on for...
Lick Off Lingerie
From Susu' World, 2 weeks ago, Similar articles
Here’s a peak into a charm cavalcade I attended. Lingerie to linger upon. Treats to treasure. Lovely little thingies to make us feel special, sensual, curvy… irresistible women, unique us that we are. Candle-light candy. The magic moment when honeyed delicacies are allowed. Oh, and of course we gals need our own caramel boy. Slowly melting. Sizzling. Simmering. So, go rummage through your chic-sexy-little-lacey delights and get the woman in you purr!
Riding Across the Wild West
From Here There and Everywhere, 2 weeks ago, Similar articles
We just figured this was going to be a rough boring stretch, driving I-10 across West Texas to New Mexico, but, as so often does, magic happened and the day changed totally. AdventureMan had a little allergy, so I did the driving across the wilds of west Texas. It wasn’t anything like I had expected. I’ve read lots of books set in Texas, and seen movies. I expected No Country For Old Men. What I got was a long empty highway with hardly any fellow travelers, some spectacular...

How I Got Sick of French Food
From Correr Es Mi Destino, 3 weeks ago, Similar articles
Our Fridge in Ottawa, April 2012 The grass is always greener on the other side, the croissants are always more buttery in France and the ethnic food is always tastier in Canada. Okay, I just made that up. But that was my somewhat cryptic conclusion after three weeks in France. When I'm in Canada, my French foodie friends and I sometimes indulge in food porn fantasies, naming the brands of cookies we miss the most and the dishes we wish we could recreate but can't because there is always some...
