Sorry it's been a little quiet here, we had an emergency over the weekend and everything has settled down now. I wanted to share with you these biscuits (cookies) by MUJI. They are delicious but really HARD! They'll definitely give your jaw a workout. They had two kinds...one with chocolate & sesame and the other with 4 different types of dried fruits. It's Friday here, hope you have a
This and That

Here are some unrelated photos, all taken with my Iphone as I was here and there in Paris. A view of the Arc de Triumph from the side. It was just nice to get another angle as I am so often seeing it from the front. It’s been the stage for a lot of action in the last couple of weeks, first with Veterans Day here in France and the laying of the wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier and then, yesterday, a visit from the newly elected President, Hollande. It poured and his suit was...
Even Silence Has an End

From the memoir of Ingrid Betancourt, a Colombian politician held hostage by the FARC for 6 years: A few months before I was captured, I visited the Good Shepherd women’s prison in Bogota. I had been impressed by those women who wore makeup and wanted to lead a normal life in their isolated world. Prison was a microcosm, a little planet of its own. [...] I felt sorry for the women, and I was touched by the anxious way they had of asking for little favors, as if they were asking for the...
Next Restaurant, The El Bulli Menu
From Londonelicious: A food blog, 4 days ago, Similar articles
I was debating how to do this, how to tell you about the El Bulli kitchen table menu at Next which I enjoyed (understatement) on Friday night. I mean, sure, I took a lot of pictures. (They are all over here on my Facebook fan page.) I even shot some video, and thanks to Roam & Home’s suggestion, I even pepped the videos up a bit using the 8mm app on the iPhone. (See Maytag Blue Egg, Mint Pond, and the literal goodbye of the Marshmallow Gloves, all over on YouTube.) I had to remove...
Taste the rainbow

Inspired by “panthropologist” Moscerina, I continue my documentation of subjects in the wild. It’s pretty easy to be stealthy in the urban jungle when you take a picture with your crappy cell phone camera like I do. I just pretend to be checking my messages while holding the phone steady like a camera. Do you think they’re catching on' I don’t. Not yet, anyways. So check out dude in the yellow corduroys on my bus yesterday. Aw. I almost wanted to give him a big,...
Melissa: The Shoes of My Childhood & Present, Now Available in NYC! ;)
From Mama(e) in Translation, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles
I just wanted to let you know that I endorse this Brazilian product of my own will and have not been sponsored in any way to write this. In fact, it's been years since I've reviewed a product in this blog -- I don't think that marketers turn to "small" mommy bloggers anymore, just to the big and influential ones. I don't mind...My first "Melissa" shoes were not the ones I wanted, which were the polka dot ones (these are recent, but the mid-eighties ones were similar, though in paler...
Trip to the gas station
From de kooijtjes, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles
According to our driver Bernardo there was no gasoline available in Luanda for the past two days due to some problems at the refinery. Therefore we stopped at the nearest gas station to get a full tank. The car's gas light was already on. It was really busy, cars waiting in several lines and zooming tiny mopeds all over the place trying to sneak by and get to the pump first. Busy! Ooh, it's not busy at all. It can get really busy here in Luanda! I wanted to believe Bernardo but it took us...
Mesa Verde, Colorado and the Far View Lodge
From Here There and Everywhere, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles
Google Maps is pretty good; I use it on my computer, on my iPad and most of all, on my iPhone. I love that when I tell it to get me from Grand Canyon Village to Mesa Verde, Colorado, it gives me a variety of routes, with the exact mileage and estimated travel time for each. It is very accurate, and also gets us through small towns where you might have to change roads a time or two. You just make sure the pulsing blue ball is following the bright blue road. Piece of cake! Most of the drive...
Last Dinner in El Tovar
From Here There and Everywhere, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles
Yes, it’s early, and we aren’t all that hungry, but it’s easy and close and it’s the last dinner we will have at El Tovar. They gave us a beautiful table. We order, AdventureMan ordering the signature soup and a Salad; I ordered the French Onion Soup and Crab Cakes. I know, I know, I can get great crab cakes in Pensacola, I guess I just wanted to see how they did them. (They did great.) I forgot to take a photo of dessert! I did take a last evening photo of the...
