Tornado season is upon us
From Brit Gal in the USA, 4 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Last night saw the first tornado of 2010 in Okieland, which was about 60 miles away from us. This morning I had an email from my mum who had seen it on the news in England apparently, and as she knows it was close wanted to check on us! This has tickled us, as it's a small tornado for here and so for it to make the news abroad is funny. But as the Hubster said, a tornado is still a tornado and newsworthy for those who don't get them like we do.
Above you can see one of the...

Nuance vs The BBC
From Englishman in New York, 4 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
One story. Two supposedly impartial outlets. Which seems more balanced to you':
BBC:
US Vice-President Joe Biden has condemned Israel’s approval of 1,600 new homes for ultra-Orthodox Jews in East Jerusalem.
Mr Biden, in Israel as part of US attempts to kick-start the peace process, said it was “the kind of step that undermines the trust we need”.
Palestinian leaders also condemned the controversial move.
Israel insisted it was a procedural step with no connection to Mr...

The streets of Hoi An.
Têt lamps.

Fammi una Festa
From Moscerina in Rome, 4 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
What I love about Italy: Feste I don't think the Professor will agree with me about my love for Italian feste. He is the kind of guy who would say they are frivolous or excessive (all the while choosing 7 k turkey for Thanksgiving for dinner for four). I disagree and live by the following rule of thumb: Give me a festa and I'll celebrate. I can make feste from half-birthdays and you-got-dumped days to wisdom-teeth-removal and bad hair days. Italy is strapieno with feast, saint and...

Caramelized Rye Bread Ice Cream (Condensed Milk Ice Cream)
From Nami-nami, 4 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Here's a super-simple ice cream with an Estonian twist. The caramelized rye bread lends a lovely slightly gritty texture (and I mean it in a wholly positive way) to the otherwise super-creamy ice cream, as well as a slightly earthy-tangy flavour.The recipe works both with ice cream machine and without one - I've given instructions for both ways. Most importantly, there's no tricky custard-making bit, as the ice cream uses condensed milk as its base (that also means there's no danger of curdling...

West Lafayette, Indiana, United StatesSo I thought I just needed to make the appointment with my family doctor to check on immunization requirements to go to China, did not know that a "travel clinic" actually existed!

We really needed somewhere to stay and when we saw the add on Gumtree advertising a share house in Kings cross, we jumped at the chance. £75 pounds per week, hmmm maybe a bit expensive but 'when we find work, it will be fine...' Though no such luck came......
