Excitement at the Apple Market

Excitement at the Apple Market

From Here There and Everywhere, 4 month ago Similar articles

“This is what happens when you live in a state where every other person is carrying a handgun,” AdventureMan grumbled as we left the Apple Market. We had been to see the new Sherlock Holmes Movie, Game of Shadows, (really action packed, by the way, and entertaining) when we remembered we needed milk. The Publix parking lot, shared with Toys R Us, is totally gridlocked on this Wednesday night before Christmas, and we figure the Winn Dixie, shared with Target, Michaels, etc. will be...

Blogging, 1883 style: Part lll

From Not wrong, just different, Today, Similar articles

Bessie continues her journey. The initial excitement has worn off, and this is a week of mixed emotions. I have left unedited some politically incorrect terminology. Feb. 25th (Sunday) Had a run of 270 miles ? temperature 73 degrees. Saw the drill of all the sailors on deck, & afterwards retired to the Saloon where Divine Service was read by the Captain, followed by a discourse by a

Blogging, 1883 style: Part ll

From Not wrong, just different, 2 days ago, Similar articles

Continuing my great-great-aunt Bessie's diary of her voyage from Southampton to Barbados, February 1883. Bessie is settling into life on board ship, and finds there is much to enjoy. Feb. 22nd Had a run of 316 miles. We passed the Western Islands about 12 o'clock last night. There was great excitement today watching a vessel, five miles off, ?homeward bound'. We have seen only two vessels

Keeping Kitchen- Pickled Onions and Fish

Keeping Kitchen- Pickled Onions and Fish

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-  but.... Instead of parboiling the onions, since they are so sweet, I just lightly salt to pull...

Foodie Review: Vittoria Trattoria

From Correr Es Mi Destino, 5 days ago, Similar articles

Apple Crumble and Cinnamon Ice Cream I usually avoid eating in the Byward Market because some of Ottawa's worse restaurants operate there, and because food can be pricey and mediocre. I always feel for tourists who end up there and pay big bucks for bad food. But sometimes, there are nice surprises. One of my foodie friends and I hesitated forever before heading to the Byward Market. She had been to Vittoria Trattoria before and had liked it. I was in the mood for pizza, but not the Pizza...

les Enfants Rouges

les Enfants Rouges

From Frenchless in France, 6 days ago, Similar articles

There is an old covered market in the Marais called les Enfants Rouges-an old orphanage had children who wore red, thus the name. Not only do they sell vegetables, it is ringed with little restaurants so you can eat there. Over one of the entrances. The interior of the market. A view of one of the places to eat. Tagine meals seemed to be the most popular along with a Japanese place. I didn’t get this but thought it looked so colorful. This was in a nearby street. It’s...

"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

Experiencing Joy, Unapologetically and Without Fear

From Bleeding Espresso, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles

Gemma in my lap and Gioia looking on. As some of you know, we had a miracle happen here two weeks ago. Two miracles actually, and their names are Gemma and Gioia. Our goat Pasqualina gave birth to these two lovelies, which you can read more about at Goat Berries; containing my excitement, happiness, and joy has been impossible ? as evidenced by my plethora of postings of photos and videos. I even gave the goaties names that showed just how wonderful I found their arrivals to be: Gemma...

Saturday Morning at the Bayeux Market

Saturday Morning at the Bayeux Market

From Chez Loulou, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles

My Saturday mornings go like this -  after a big café au lait and a tartine, I grab my market basket and drive to Bayeux to get some shopping done. Arriving early to avoid long lines and find a place in the adjacent parking lot, which by 11am is impossible to park in, is a must. Also, as I found out the hard way one weekend, my favorite teurgoule, crème fraîche and egg man always seems to run out of his incredible products quite early.    Before I start...

Meet Mr. and Mrs. Ugly American

From The Bold Soul, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles

On our way to the Apple store via the #68 bus this afternoon, I was unfortunate enough to overhear a rather loud and obnoxious American couple talking to each other. It wasn't just their tone and volume that got under my skin... it was what they were saying that put me over the edge. They complained to each other, non-stop, about how rude the French were. How whenever the French have been in trouble and needed help, America has had to bail them out (and how no one in France...
