A Kitchen Hoor’s Adventures is interested in getting to know where her food comes from. So, we jumped at the chance to meet and learn about ostrich farming and visited Misty Morning Ostrich Ranch in North Carolina. If you’re in the area I highly recommend you visit Ryan and…
If you haven’t attended the Food Wine Conference, you really should. It’s the blogger family reunion you didn’t know about combined with some excellent speakers to help you nurture your blog and brand.
After our antique shopping Friday, the spa treatments and the fabulous dinner, we were reluctant to check out. BUT we were to head home Saturday; planning to spend the night some place in Pennsylvania on the way home. We knew we wouldn’t make it all the way home…
Wine on Third – Perfect for Our Anniversary Dinner
White Linen Tea House is a hidden gem in upstate New York.
Old Fort Niagara, gorgeous views and full of history!
The hubs and I head to Niagara NY for our anniversary. Here’s what we saw, where we ate, and what we did!
It rolled in. We had seen it before for a little bit last week, but this time, the weather wasn’t supposed to change. Rainy and chilly the rest of the week. Great. When I heard this along with the memories of a conversation previously about the weather rolling…
Before I get to my continued escapades in Sarajevo, I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you all have safe travels, lots of turkey and sweet dreams for your naps. Please take a minute to think about those not able to be with their…
Saturday morning means more breakfast exploration. I had cereal, again, but also tried out the chicken pate and the wedge cheese on a roll and the Eurocrem hazelnut stuff on a croissant. Since N and I were to be on a tour most of the day, I ate…
Finally! It’s Friday. I swear it was the longest week EVAH! I don’t think I’ve been happier it was a Friday in a while. Usually it’s just another day to me. But today! MAN was I happy! I seriously needed some weekend rest. Today was inventory…
A very VERY VERY foggy day in Sarajevo today. Is it really only Thursday? Come on weekend! Hurry up! I need a rest. I need some down time. I need a break from being ON 24/7. Those with work travel can understand that. The “on” statement. About an…
Guess what day it is? Guess what day it is? It’s HUMP DAY! In Bosnia for this post at least. LOL I couldn’t resist. I woke up thinking, “This two weeks are going to take FOREVER!” It’s only Wednesday. *sigh* I splurge at breakfast this morning and get…
More breakfast exploration. I tried the other cereal that wasn’t cocoa puffs. Man. It was crunchy. Really crunchy. I’m eating it thinking, “Maybe this is supposed to be like a hot cereal? And I should have used the warm milk instead of regular, cold milk?” I crunch through…
I had no expectations for breakfast. I just didn’t. I never do. As long as there’s cereal I’m happy. And there was. There were a few other interesting items, too. There are at least 4 types of cheese: feta, smoked Gouda, mozzarella, and a spicy smoked something. I’m…
I knew this trip was coming. I was hoping it was going to be postponed at least a week, but no. Congratulations on your new marriage, now go to Bosnia. LOL I told everyone I went with that I DID NOT want to hear anyone complaining or talking…
When I last left you, we were waiting impatiently for the officiant to show up. We were standing in the lobby, my in heels, waiting for her to pull up so we can get married. And I’m starting to get nervous because she’s not here yet where is…
Of course I can’t sleep. I mean, how in the world does any bride sleep the night before their wedding? Seriously? So I am up around 6 I think? I make coffee, we shower and head to breakfast. Pancakes for me and eggs and biscuits for him. …
S and I had a very interesting courtship. For that time frame it wasn’t typical. Now it’s a bit more common. Who knows how that happened? But it did. For those that haven’t been following my blog all that long, S and I met online. Not the usual match.com or any…
Just Us on a Mountain
Bogota 3.4 and AGAVE AZUL! YAY!
Central Cevicheria
Not really. Just on travel again. I had intended to put together a post this weekend, but I felt like crap and somehow managed to KILL my left knee. So, I was a sloth. Well, not really. I was working on things that I can’t post about until…
I’m sittin’ in the railway station airport gateGot a ticket for my destination On a tour of one night stands restaurant dishesMy suitcase and guitar laptop case in hand And every stop is neatly planned full of crowdsFor a poet analyst and a one man band with one spreadsheet Homeward bound …
Yay for the last day. This has been the longest week. Or at least felt like the longest week ever. I’m tired exhausted. There’s not much in the way of “work” work to do. It’s more follow up and hoping that we can get the magic answer that…
*disclaimer has been drinking* Today was follow up day. Um… You said you were going to get us this and you haven’t. He said he was going to get this. Nope. Don’t got it. That kind of follow up. I have been doing cost extract and analysis in…
I have no idea what happened. I KNOW I scheduled it for the AM. *sigh* Great. Another morning. Another day. I hope hope hope that today isn’t negative like yesterday was. I CAN.NOT deal with another day like yesterday. I will literally curl up in the fetal position…
I’d really like to hear someone say what we do that’s good. I’m so so SO tired of hearing of all the things that are wrong. For once, PLEASE can I hear something good? And after you fire at me all these things that are wrong and I…
In case you were wondering, no I didn’t get the same symptoms as last time. Headache, yes. Nausea, no. Feel like death? NO! Thank baby jebus!! I can’t imagine feeling like that EVER AGAIN! The rooms are lux and gorgeous. But I miss Steve. They kind of are…
In my effort to try to step up my blog posts, I thought I would try to start a weekly recap. *shrugs* Hopefully I can keep this up. If not, I’ll be like one of those hundreds of blogs that just fall off the radar due to life. This blog…
So, I had set out to recreate this Slow-Braised Guajillo Pepper Beef from Agave Azul: I didn’t quite make it. But I figured, as long as it was tasty, it didn’t really matter. What DOES matter is the cut of meat for this recipe. The round roast I…
We’re moving. Again. When we took this apartment, we had a roommate. NEVER AGAIN! It was HORRID! So now, they’re raising our rent. AGAIN! Yes, I know they’re supposed to raise it but it’s like $80-$90 more than it was last year! And we can’t lock into more…
I am finally home! YAY! I had set my alarm for 5:30 since I had already packed and showered the night before. All I needed to do this morning was throw my jammies in the my luggage, brush my teeth, wash my face, put my toiletries bag…
Last full day in Bogota! YAY! Today is a tour of a site for a school. Without getting into too much detail, our programs help train those in the military and judiciary fields in Colombia. So, we were touring a site that will cost muchos pesos to fix…
I’m done. I don’t want to be here any more!! I’ve done what I can and it’s up to them to finish it up and tweak and what not…. SO it was a nice break from the 2 weeks of work to have a SUNNY day and a…
I miss popcorn. Not that they don’t have it here, I just miss the way I make it…in my kitchen….with my S and my M. I miss when I do something good or if something bad happens at work, I miss that I can’t immediately tell S. I…
I’m tired…downright exhausted, actually. The work isn’t easy. The late nights and early mornings are tiring. The simple fact that I don’t sleep well at night cause I miss S is the worst! I toss…I turn…I wake up frequently cause I’m just not comfortable! *pout* So, today was…
Dinner? I went to the cevicheria up the street. Wow. I’m slacking. I will need to look that up tonight when I head out for dinner. It was interesting. The waiter didn’t speak English. And my Spanglish isn’t so great sometimes. He asked me something at one point…
Soooooo, today I am TOTALLY by myself today. My bubble isn’t that big and I am not sure how far I should wander. I got my days mixed up and thought V was going to pick me up today and play tourist with me. Not so much. I have…
Esta Domingo! *snort* Today, I’m supposed to go to Usaquen where there is a market like a flea market? Or craft market? I get up this morning…bright and early as usual. I head down to grab a light bite, knowing that lunch will be later and then just…
Early January, work tells me that I will need say Hola de Colombia to help with a FY2013 budget either the end of January or the beginning of February. Me, “Can it be more towards February? I don’t want to be in Colombia for my birthday.” So, here…
