December in Chicago'
From Londonelicious: A food blog, 4 month ago Similar articles
It’s been nice being in town. The city looks nice in winter when there’s no snow and the skies are clear. I’m enjoying exploring my neighborhood. I love this old sign on Milwaukee Avenue, storifying the neighborhood’s Polish roots. There are some buildings in downtown Chicago that are ridiculously gorgeous. Like The Pittsfield Building, where I’ve been having lunch a lot lately. With technology, signage of the old kind vanishes. Indoor chandeliers disappear too....

I Love Falafel Sandwiches
From Londonelicious: A food blog, Yesterday, Similar articles
There. I’ve said it. I could happily eat falafel all day, every day. I don’t know why. I just like it. Texture' Hummus' Hot sauce' Yes. I was lucky today. I had an errand to run and they told me to come back in 30 minutes. So I went in search of tacos to kill some time. I thought for sure I’d find tacos somewhere. But instead I found Chickpea, just west of Damen on Chicago Ave. So I paid $4 (!!!) and had the best falafel I’ve had since Hoxton Beach on Whitecross Street...

(This recipe was originally posted in December 2006. Fully updated in May 2012). Â Here's a recipe for a soup that must have frequently featured in one disguise or another in every single canteen and many households across the former Soviet empire: solyanka (see also this informative article about Russian soups). A hearty soup originally from Russia and Ukraine that can be just as humble or elegant as you want. If you're a flashy Slav, you use seven types of meat (incl. kidneys) and...

Time for a break. Too many restaurants, too little time. And I’m TIRED. I know, I know. What happened to all your photos, Krista' What happened to full blog write-ups' Â Frankly speaking, no one restaurant has driven me to such great lengths in a long time. So micro-reviews it is for you. For now. Personally, I kinda like the micro-review thing. It’s like Twitter. Or a Haiku. (A long one.) Benny’s Chop House, 444 N. Wabash, River North (ish, because I kinda feel like Wabash...

Some fascinating excerpts from an article by Johnny Dwyer on Charles Taylor in Foreign Policy: Documents received through a Freedom of Information request show that as early as December 2000, the State Department sought information “to weaken and discredit the Taylor regime internationally” as part of a “long-term campaign” to be waged at the United Nations. [...] Following Taylor’s arrest and indictment, the State Department, through actions at the United...

my first run for 2012
From Life as Ays sees it, 3 weeks ago, Similar articles
my first run for this year was at the the jpmorgan corporate challenge last thursday. to be honest, i haven't done much running since last december's 21K. so i didn't really expect to have a personal best in this 5.6K race. the jpmc run is one of the runs i look forward to. the route is an easy course and it's always done on a weekday, after work hours in the city. but since you have to get to the course, meet up with your team and warm up, you get an excuse to leave the office a little bit...
Holocaust Memorial in Berlin
From The Dutched Pinay, 1 month ago, Similar articles
The official name of the Holocaust Memorial is ?Memorial to the Murdered Jews in Europe'. It was commissioned in 2003 and was completed in December 2004.The monument is like a labyrinth, an explosion of contemporary art made of concrete grey slabs, 2,711 of them, laid out in an oblique, mesmerizing and undulating pattern. It might be or might not be an absurd thought but they look like catacombs to me, rising up and down as I make my way through and around the cold grey concrete matter. The...

Going to school
From Ruth's Place, 1 month ago, Similar articles
Gorgeous Girl has been asking to go to school since the middle of December last year. Now that we have a car she was finally able to start. and wearing her hat. I was very nervous about driving Gorgeous Girl to and from school every day. We did test drives on the Friday and Sunday before she started school so that I would know the way and the conditions of the road. It takes about 35 minutes to get her to the school if the traffic is good and there are no new major potholes. The roads are...
