I swear I'm not making this up
From The Bold Soul, 6 month ago Similar articles
We just had a whopper of a freak thunderstorm: bolts of lightening, downpours, hail and so much rain the staircase behind Sacre Coeur turned into a waterfall. Then, the sun came out... And another stunning complete double rainbow! I will miss this view when we move someday. This is why our rent is too high... But days like this it sure seems worth it.

It was so cute hearing them secretly plotting in hushed voices, making secret cards and getting her a treat!Michael and Skye made me a beautiful card together which they coloured. Dinner was served by le chef Michael: Roast beef with Yorkshire pudding and lots of roast potatoes and veggies on the side...Just mouth watering even remembering it! On Monday, at school, there was a...

While life has taken a busy turn, with weddings and new schools and other various boring events that would entertain no one but me (and sometimes not even me!) I couldn't let the day pass without at least throwing out a Happy Mother's Day to all the moms I know.In light of the recent Time article asking if you are mom enough, making mothers all over the internet shout about how they ARE mom enough and who needs a magazine to make them feel otherwise all I have to say is this - I don't care...

From Over the Tuscan Stove, 4 days ago, Similar articles
I am leaving for a week in Sicily ( I know, poor me) and leave the pantry full for my husband when I go away for any length of time. I had already made some pulled pork a week or so ago and found some lovely sweet red onions at the market and could'd resist making some pickled Mexican onions for garnish for the pulled pork. Mexican Pickled Onions I used something similar to this recipe-Â but.... Instead of parboiling the onions, since they are so sweet, I just lightly salt to pull...

I recently friended a UK based American expat named Leigh who was visiting Paris on a extended trip. We hit it off from the start. She has a cute blog and an even cuter daugheter named Lois who Maximilien took a liking to immediately. Lois doesn't speak French but that didn't keep her from making fast friends with Max. You would never believe the conversations these two had a mismash of French and English and lots of laughing and wrestling. Lois can keep up with the boys for sure....

From Not so desperate yugowife, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles
Wow! It's the 8th of May already and in about 5 weeks school is over and the kids and I head off to Geneva for a little while. Time is totally flying for us at the moment, especially as this will be the first year where we actually have no "school" over the summer. Oh! that is another thing I miss about Vienna; the 365/year day-care!!! Anyway, the pollen that has been making us wheeze and itch has almost settled and the kids are healthy, the weather is starting to warm up here...
"dry"curry
From Our Adventures in Japan, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles
In Japan, you'll find something on menus called "dry curry". What you'll get when you order this is curry flavored fried rice. The other day I went to the market looking for my favorite curry roux, but they didn't have it (boo!). Still, I had envisioned making curry for dinner, so I decided to try something new. A bottle of "dry curry paste". I've known dry curry to be in powder form, but

We ironed out the financial aid mess that was stopping us from making our move down here on Tuesday and packed up to leave Washington on Thursday evening. Stuart drove through the night whilst the baby slept which was really a perfect idea and if we need to go anywhere far away any time soon (let's hope not) that's how we'll travel. We stopped in Meridian, Idaho at about 7am and went to our hotel to clean up and get a few hours of sleep. Check out was at noon so it was a luxury stop and a bit...
