Spiced Party Pecans
From Chez Loulou, 5 month ago Similar articles
Moving is always stressful. Moving during the holidays...doubly so! I still don't know what we were thinking when we decided to move only one week before Christmas. (and I'm sure our friends and family are wondering the same thing) But that doesn't mean that we won't be celebrating! We have a friend arriving from the States on Christmas day and although we'll be keeping this year's cooking and festivities fairly simple, they will be festive indeed! Over the next few days I thought I would...

please bear with me today as I throw a small pity party for myself. It gets a little better towards the end of the post (I hope!)I told my husband that it would be a disaster -- the fact that I'd be forced to look at my evaluations in order to submit an application for the possible job that took my peace away. I generally don't read my evaluations -- though I know I should (they didn't required us to do it in graduate school and I did it only to submit job applications years later...

A brief update: - A couple weekends ago we drove to San Jose for a friend's baby's birthday party. Â The drive was not quite as easy as previous ones, as D & Q slept each way but only for about half of the drive and then started getting restless. Â But, the party was fun, as was seeing all our old friends and their kids who were practically unrecognizable bc they all grow so damn fast. - After a mostly uneventful first year in school, D's class has suddenly come down with a case...

France has elected a new President, François Hollande of the Socialist party. Here's an image (from TV) of the crowd celebrating at the Bastille after Nicolas Sarkozy conceded. My step-daughter is in that crowd somewhere, being a part of history. The new Prez gave his first speech in his hometown and is en route to Paris now to give another at Bastille around midnight. By the way, "Socialist" in France is NOT Communism, so don't panic. Although France has a wider spectrum of political...
Happy birthday times four

If you know the kangaroo personally, you wouldn’t be surprised by the fact that he is celebrating his birthday “around the world” – four birthday parties in four cities to herald in his big 40th. He really likes a good party, as they say Down Under. This photo is evidence of his first 40th birthday party in NYC with a small group of friends at Rye in Williamsburg. His two requirements for choosing a restaurant for his birthday celebrations are great meat and cocktails....

John McAfee of McAfee Virus Scan had his Tower Hill Estate in the Orange Walk district here in Belize raided by the Gang Suppression Unit (GSU).  The GSU claims there were rumors of illegal activity on the premises.  McAfee contends the raid was a political retaliation for him refusing to donate funds to the political party that is currently in power here in Belize.  As I read the details of this story this line stood out to me:Present on the premises at the time were...

We decided to make the final shindig for Lila a rainbow theme, because she has brought so much color to our worlds and joy to our hearts.Hahahaha, I am not really that cheesy. Well, not most of the time!No, seriously, I was stressing like 3 months ago trying to come up with a theme and let's face it, original I am not. So after hours spent perusing Pinterest and other party blogs I decided to do a full on rainbow theme, with some moon stuff thrown in there to honor her nickname of Mooniegirl....
Racism in Canada
From Correr Es Mi Destino, 2 weeks ago, Similar articles
I Love Canada, Ottawa, April 2012 The results of the first round of the French presidential elections came as no surprise: the two favourite candidates, Nicolas Sarkozy and François Holland, will face each other in round two on May 6, 2012. The only ?surprise' was that the Front National, the anti-immigrant party, ended up at the third place with a record 17.9 per cent of the vote. The Front National went from being a marginal party in the 70s to being the third largest political force...
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

Sunday night and feeling a bit lethargic (in other words, lazy), we agreed not to head off to the Koninginnenacht (Queen's Night) festivities in Utrecht. But this morning, we managed to move our bums and joined Utrecht for Koninginnedag (Queen's Day, 30 April). This is a yearly nationwide event in celebration of the Queen's birthday here in the Netherlands.So what's in store during this day' Street party, live music, stage shows, lots of drinking, dressing up in orange, spontaneous street...

After we wrapped up the first celebration on Lila's actual birthday we had Easter (which is a post in itself) and then moved onto party number 2, which was a Birthday Playdate. I decided to split up her party into two, with one being family and friends from our street, and then the rest of our friends. It was a difficult decision, but with Finn's party being a complete zoo it seemed to make sense, and I wanted to celebrate with everyone because, well, I am a party whore.So Lila's birthday...
