Thanh Chuong's Work
From ahoy hanoi, 1 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Despite thinking Thanh Chuong is an asshole, I can't deny that he is an amazingly talented artist. His paintings are all interesting to say the least.One thing I do take issue with though is that the pamphlet for the palace says, "All subjects are fair game, and he effortlessly renders them in his personal artistic 'language' that is unmistakably Thanh Chuong." My issue comes with this: All of us immediately said, "His work looks like Picassos," as soon as we saw a couple of paintings. And...

Alright, I Give In

Heat, you win.You have overpowered me and I can't even pretend to put up a good fight. I look at our back yard and see the sandbox. And Finn's pool. And all our sad, sad plants and I curse you. My son, who gets pink walking to the mailbox and therefore can't play outside curses you. My hanging plants curse you.I have zero energy to be outside. Finn and I walk in the morning, before 8 so we can be out before it hits the mid 90s, and that is about the most outside time I can take.I know we aren't...

A new hope
From Hungary Wine Guide, 1 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
This is just to let you know that there might be less and less bargains out there but I’ve found a rare good red wine under HUF 2000 which I now put on my watchlist. Although Szabó Zoltán’s Riesling 2007 was a bit disapointing after the breakthrough 2006, the Merlot 2007 is a very decent effort for the price and makes me wonder how the 2006 could have been.
I used this Merlot to make magrets of duck (following Larousse Gastronomique’s receipe, which is a wonderful book btw,...

Rhinos!
From Dateline Bangkok, 1 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I was prepared for disappointment at Chitwan National Park. Even though people assured me about 90 percent of people see a rhino, I had convinced myself I was bad luck--suay.So when I saw my first rhinos, a mother and a baby, I was elated and relieved. I had to see something on my safaris and, because of the bandh, I only had one shot to see a rhino.I was pressed for time. I would stay in

Beautiful Bamboo Orchids

These are probably the easiest to grow of all orchids. New shoots can be broken off and stuck right in the ground. I never tire of seeing these beautiful orchids that I believe bloom year round in our garden.

formaggio coi buchi fatto in casa: Jarlsberg
From Briciole, 1 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
homemade cheese: Jarlsberg In a previous post, I reported about making Leerdammer, my first cheese with holes (formaggio coi buchi). The holes are called "eyes" (occhi) and are bubbles of carbon dioxide created by the microorganism called Proprionibacterium freudenreichii subsp. shermanii during the ripening period (as you can read here and also here).
After making Leerdammer a second time, and enjoying every bite of the result, I decided to make Jarlsberg, a cheese that hails from...

Adios, Carro
From Expat Mom, 1 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Our car has been sitting in the neighbor’s garage for . . . well, a while. With the upcoming trip to Canada, there was no way we could afford to put the new computer in and quite frankly, I’m sick the stupid thing anyway.
So I listed it for sale on MundoAnuncio, a classified site here. It actually got a lot of responses, considering the thing won’t even start . . . but no one was actually willing to come out to San Juan to see it.
The car sat. Irving’s cousin (the same...
