Christmas, Guatemalan Style
From Correr Es Mi Destino, 4 month ago Similar articles
Christmas when traveling is always a bit of a hit-and-miss. In 2001, we spent it in San José, Costa Rica, in a hotel full of cockroaches but Feng managed to make a nice pasta dinner. In 2003, we were in Antigua, Guatemala, and the atmosphere was very festive. In 2008, we were in Playa Tamarindo, Costa Rica?not so festive but nice location. Last year, we had our Christmas dinner in 1776 and I learned to joggle with fire sticks in Rainbow Beach, Australia. Yesterday, we spent the day...

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

When you live in a small city everyone is a part of the parade. Â That means there is only a very small crowd looking on. Â So Alta has arranged a unique idea.

I've seen little houses like this one all over the internet. I absolutely love the free motion sewing style. To me free motion sewing has a bit of an abandoned feeling... like you're throwing the idea of perfection aside and...

The kangaroo and I go back to Killiney Kopitiam Siglap purely for nostalgic reasons. The famous lontong has been watered down (to cater to droves of people who come for this very dish) but we would still make the hike in a cab from my folks’ place in the north. I tend to have very short stays in Singapore and don’t really have the chance to gobble hawker style food. I mean, none of my friends fancies chowing down on oily fried food without air-conditioning. Also my folks are...

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...

(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...

When I was at my mother's house last summer, she showed me a diary that was kept by my grandmother's aunt (is that my great-great-aunt'). It dates from 1883. One of my cousin's had typed it up, though my mother has the original. I think you'll enjoy it. Bessie and her sister Rachel (my great-grandmother) had been brought up in Edinburgh. Bessie got to know a young medical student, George, who
