So much to say - Shepherd's Bread
From Lucullian Delights, Yesterday, Similar articles
I can't believe myself it but I managed to bake this month's Bread Baking Babes bread and I loved it. I really must get better on that front because it is such a great way to discover new breads and to share it with you so that you too can bake them! But first I have some other things to tell you.   First of all I know that there have been and still seem to be issues with accessing
Catching up: parties, applications, surgeries
From Mama(e) in Translation, Yesterday, Similar articles
Today is effectively the very first day of my "summer vacation 2012" - Â 3 months of not much work & no paycheck. I didn't have a paycheck for 5 years before this, but somehow now that I'm back to the "workforce" (though still working in the margins), it does bother me a lot not to have a salary in the next months. Sigh...Next year I will have it for at least a month when I teach for the study abroad in Brazil which reminds me that I do have to work this summer planning that. And I...

Yesterday I talked with a former basket ball player who said he "stopped playing because things got unprofessional". He told me how the team went from traveling in business class and staying in nice hotels to 9 hour bus rides, no overnight stay, cold showers and no salary for months on end. "What is this'!" he kept saying. Another sportsman told me he only received part of his 2011 salary in March 2012. Players are being signed up a month at a time. These are people who were well off here in...

From Blackpurls knitpickings, 3 days ago, Similar articles
I have never been fond of surprises. Â But, Tom keeps trying to change that...and he just might succeed! Â He entered a contest with BelmopanCityOnline and won a Mather's Day gift for me. Â Here is his winning entry:"Alida has been a great wife of 30 years, mother of two grown sons & now helps people who have been abused or rescued from sex trafficking. She has been giving to others all her life & deserves a month of receiving!"The prize is a month of free housecleaning...I...
Firsts: food
From Let's go away for a while..., 4 days ago, Similar articles
Autumn normally sleeps from 11:30pm until around 8am - really nothing to shake a stick at but the last few nights she's been going to sleep later and waking up at 4am for a quick feed. Horrible. So we decided it's time to give her a little something extra - rice cereal. We didn't expect her to be so hungry until another month so we had to go buy her a high chair and a bowl and spoon.It went well. Tomorrow we'll try it a little thicker. She liked it fine although I don't know how much of it...
WOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT MELA
From Delhi Bound, 6 days ago, Similar articles
How exciting to be a part of this ... Put on by the Global Issues Unit of the US Embassy here in Delhi, and partially sponsored by the AWA, this morning was timed to celebrate Women's Empowerment Month (March, 2012) and brought a host of local NGOs to raise awareness for their efforts at empowering women. I have a feeling that if these women -- who participated in this mela -- are concerned, they will figure out a way (somehow, some way) to see that women's...
Ohayo Singapore
From Lioness in Japan, 6 days ago, Similar articles
I never ever ever ever drink booze on flights but somehow the Frankfurt-to-Singapore leg of my month-long trip transported me into a 12-hour nightmare with three screaming babies. Not just crying, but high-pitched don’t-give-a-rat’s-ass type of screaming. It’s such a cliche to say this but it must be what hell is like. Hey, I still love kids but I just couldn’t hack it. For realz. I never use “z” as a suffix, ever. There were so many passengers ordering...
Marrakesh: and a tale of Lonny and more
From My Marrakesh, 6 days ago, Similar articles
I feel so lucky.  Yes, so lucky to be in this month's Lonny Magazine.  Editor in Chief Michelle Adams was so much fun to work with (We would be doing a lot of hanging out if she were living in Marrakesh!).  Photographer Patrick Cline shot only in film and was such a pro.  Writer Robert Leleux is the loveliest person ever (and has this book out and this one, too).  Read the whole issue right here. *************** My book, Marrakesh by Design is in the...
