Computer woes (again!) plus this and that
Something is going on with my computer. It is SO slow. Like painfully slow. So slow that it takes ages for anything to load. I think it’s because I’m running out of disk space. UGH! So until I can sit down to do some massive (but careful) deleting AGAIN, no long photo posts. I hope [...]
New Recipes and Another Blogger Meet :-)
I cannot stop thinking about Steamy Kitchen’s Fish Tacos with Roasted Corn and Pepitas and Homesick Texan’s Corny Dogs. I think I’ll make the corn dogs for my husband on Friday for our Halloween date since Roxi has a school dance/sleepover. She doesn’t like hot dogs, and to be honest, I’m not crazy about them either, but I’ll [...]
Seven Things About Me
Before we left for Poland, Emm tagged me with the Seven Things meme. Because I really need to catch up on a few things before I indulge in a long post, I think today is as good a day as any to complete this meme. I am a little shy. I also tend to be a little [...]
We’re back from Poland
Old Town Krakow, Poland. Another whirlwind trip–so many things to see, too short a time to really take it all in. I know I have a lot of travel posts to catch up on: Paris, Salzburg, more Munich, and now Krakow. I hope to finish up with all of them before we leave for Texas [...]
Paris, France
Well, after looking over my photos from our two-and-a-half day trip to Paris last August, I realized that to overindulge in so much goodness in one sitting would be such a waste. So let us savor Paris the way it should be, leisurely, on European time. Think of this post as an amuse-bouche. This was [...]
The Hague, The Netherlands (from our trip in July)
This is a continuation of the trip we took in July to Brussels/Bruges/The Hague/Paris. I am trying to catch up on my travel posts since we going on holiday next week. So today, it’s The Hague and tomorrow Paris (finally, Lucylucia, right?) The Hague (Den Haag), The Netherlands Counting back, this is the third time we [...]
Notting Hill, London
I met Bee in London’s Notting Hill neighborhood yesterday. What fun for me especially, since I haven’t been to this part of town since I was a teenager. I took to the tube to the closest tube stop, Ladbroke Grove. I loved this little bit of tromp l’oeil in the upper left corner of this [...]
Another food post–guess I wasn’t done yet
I made these delicate sugar cookies for the International Festival at Roxi’s school on Friday. I’m on my way to meet Bee for a little foodie jaunt in London. I will share more tomorrow :-) Here’s a little something in the meantime: Yesterday, Matt Armendariz of the blog Matt Bites posted “Anything in a Tortilla“–too funny [...]
Foodie wrap up
A quick post today. The Asado was brilliant! I made it Saturday night with the intention of eating it on Sunday, but Roxi came home from her sleepover, took a whiff and said she must have a taste! It’s feisty by itself, but on Sunday I made Homesick Texan’s flour tortillas (SO good) and a pan [...]
