My Xmas chic… sweetheart sushi dinner and kisses in abundance! Are you contented with your year gone by' I am. It has been a period of profound changes. Early 2011, I traveled to Finland. Practiced being free around food again with cream and jam filled brioche. My journeys choo-chooed along as I hopped on the Eurostar and whisked to London. Staying at my cousin and lovely Kate’s was an absolute treat. Hubs back home in Paris. This chick free to indulge in art and Camden vintage...

Peanutty Goodness
From Bugigangas, 2 days ago, Similar articles
I an going through peanut butter with a vengeance since our little boy made his appearance. At middle of the night cluster feedings, I want to eat something that can sit by my bedside table without needing refrigeration and provide me with serious calories without being total junk food. What better option than PB' I'm the kind of person that eats it straight from the jar with a spoon, which os a
BritMums Live ticket for sale at early bird price, and Garrison Keillor
From Not wrong, just different, 2 weeks ago, Similar articles
I'm not going to make it to BritMums Live (sniff) in June, as we will still be here in the US, tidying up loose ends, saying our goodbyes, and packing. So, the ticket is up for sale. I've checked, and it's fully transferable at this point. And a TOTAL BARGAIN, because it's 49.99 GBPounds, instead of 69.99 GBPounds. I bought it at early bird price, and I will sell it at early bird price. And
Singapore Day
From Lioness in Japan, 3 weeks ago, Similar articles
I had the opportunity to catch Singapore Day at Prospect Park in Brooklyn. The promise of hawker food was the only lure for my friends and I (in the end, I missed out on the food because I had another event). However, there was also a a special Mambo Jambo session that got everyone on their feet too. Leading the hand actions were Hossan Leong and Michelle Chong in her Barbarella incarnation. It was a total hoot dotted with cringey moments. More interestingly, Singapore Day is a travelling...
Why I love Mexico-- Reason Number 1.
From Que Pasa?, 1 month ago, Similar articles
One of the questions I am often asked, is why I live in Mexico, and what makes me stay.One of, or probably more accurately, the biggest reason to me, is the people. Mexicans are open, friendly, and sharing is done without even a thought. They have taught me to slow down and enjoy what, and who, is around you. To absolutely live in the moment. Walking down the street, everyone makes eye contact and greets you. I have been invited into homes for parties and to share meals, by total strangers,...
Big brother comes to Honduras

Update, January 9: President Lobo has just announced that he is suspending the sanction of this decree pending review. No mention yet what this will mean for the new migration measures.~~~~~~~~~~~~~Just yesterday, we surprisingly learned that another 'travel tax' was approved on December 14, 2011 (in the middle of the night, says El Heraldo), adding $17 to the cost of a airline ticket for each international passenger on entry and exit, for a total of $34. The tax is to provide for new...
The Big Kitchen Re-do
From CraftyRachel, 1 month ago, Similar articles
When we bought our charming little circa-1930 house, we planned to renovate the kitchen as our one big house project. This house is rock-solid and has fun architectural details throughout, and the previous owners over the past decade or two made some great improvements to the house, which we found out is actually one built from a Sears kit! Ah, the old days of DIY. Although the total square footage is just under 1500, the two-story layout (with finished basement) is such that we can all...
More baking adventures
From Lioness in Japan, 1 month ago, Similar articles
Inspired by Singaporean expat Bing in South Africa, I tried my hand at making banana cake. I couldn’t get over how weird banana cake looks sliced like this and I would probably use a square pan next time. I also learned that butter makes cake very heavy and if you want a lighter consistency, vegetable oil is the way to go. And my attempt at conjuring my own cupcake recipe. Total fail. I think if not for the fact that the kangaroo was on one of his diets, he wouldn’t have...
Nami-Nami Easter Brunch 2012
From Nami-nami, 1 month ago, Similar articles
On Easter Sunday we hosted yet another Easter brunch to our dear friends - something of a tradition by now, as we've done this for almost five years, I believe (see overview of 2009 and 2010). This year we were twenty people in total - 16 guests and our own little family of four. Here's an overview of this year's table: And here are the individual dishes, with links to recipes, where appropriate. We started with Mimosa cocktails, using freshly squeezed orange juice and Spanish cava....
Naoshima, Island of Art and'007?
From Gaijin Mama, 1 month ago, Similar articles
I recently visited Naoshima, an island in the Inland Sea, for the first time. Formerly an industrial waste dumpsite, the island has been converted into an art lover’s mecca. I had a chance to visit a couple of art museums, as well as the delightfully kitschy 007 Museum, near the harbor.  Here is the entrance. Although I had to change out of my shoes and into slippers to view the Monet at the Chichu Art Museum (which has only three exhibits total, two of them inaccessible...
Double Digit Mileage Today
From Ya' All Right?, 1 month ago, Similar articles
If you've been a regular reader of this blog, you'll know that when I go walking on the footpaths, I always, always, always take a wrong turn. Sometimes this adds significantly to my hikes (an example of that is here). Today was no exception, although I must say, the wrong turn only added 1.4 miles to the overall trip. Now consider that I set out to do a 9.5 mile hike today, and suddenly being sidetracked 1.4 miles is a bit more meaningful. Total mileage - 10.9. ...
