Tuesday evening games-fest II
From This is Cyprus, Yesterday, Similar articles
It's nearly eight months since my good friend Joan and I, in the temporary absence of our husbands, held a five-hour 'games fest' evening. It so happens that this week, once again, our menfolk are away at the same time. So we thought we might try a re-run. Â Not that it was quite the same... for one thing, I knew I would not be able to walk even as far as the local Souvlaki Express. Â I thought I had bruised my toes badly three weeks ago. The advice and observations of various...
Curious George and the Zombies
From Expat Mom, Yesterday, Similar articles
So, today was Dante’s birthday and somehow I got confused and thought it was tomorrow and so on Monday, I thought I had lots of time to make the cake until that evening when I realized I had just one day to make it all happen. Oops. I got up on Tuesday after a long night of no sleep, feeling worn out and fuzzier than usual. I literally had problems reading recipes. Nonetheless, I made an orange cake and a banana cake and slapped them together with some chocolate orange frosting and...

Which is silly. Que està una mica tonta.I am going to add the rest of the Catalan later though. I am getting too tired tonight.So, here goes. We went up to Olot on Sat evening so that we could leave bright and early the next morning. The hotel was fine, nice and clean and just renovated, the people very friendly and it was VERY close to the start point of the walk.His Chuckiness and I walked a couple of hundred yards up the walk just to get our bearings, and saw this:...
Nyhavn Postcard
From The Dutched Pinay, 3 days ago, Similar articles
Nyhavn or New Haven is unquestionably Copenhagen's or Denmark's best landmark. It's a lovely and lively place to be. Many would probably argue that for the country's landmark it should be the Little Mermaid. Honestly, I don't quite understand what's all the fuss about the plain bronze female statue.I have more pictures of Nyhavn and will post them later, on a separate entry once I am done polishing them. Polishing a picture for me is very basic'Picasa style, adjusting light and darkness and...
We Are More Than Enough

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...
Le Grand Vielleux
From Chez Loulou, 5 days ago, Similar articles
For a goat cheese with a bit of age on it, Le Grand Vielleux is surprisingly mild. Its has almost no aroma and all around, its flavor is light and mellow - a tiny bit of citrus, hints of salt, mushrooms and yeast, and only a slight whisper of goaty-ness. This particular cheese had been matured for several weeks. Texture wise it was a somewhat dry and crumbly in the middle, and soft and oozing just under the croûte. Now I am someone who loves a cheese to pack a punch, but I found this...

The 700 Years Tour at Mesa Verde
From Here There and Everywhere, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles
Early early in the morning we are up and ready to grab a bite of breakfast at the Far View Lodge and to take the 700 years tour. When we called for reservations at the Far View Lodge, the desk clerk asked if we would like to sign up for the 700 Years of Culture tour, and since Sparkle had told us that the tours fill up early, we signed up. The light in Mesa Verde is beautiful at eight in the morning, and we were shocked when thirty-something people around our age (I guess we are all out...
