A building demolition gone wrong in Liuzhou, China, in December 2009. Instead of tumbling straight to the bottom; the building swayed sideway… one of the blocks fell completely while another stood proud as a momentarily landmark in the city.

Sometimes (my husband would say, often) I become obsessed with a recipe that doesn’t work, and I have to make it work, even if that means making the same thing four times and driving my family crazy discussing changes and additions. “NO,” he’ll say, calmly, “I REALLY DON’T THINK IT’S GOING TO MAKE THAT MUCH DIFFERENCE IF YOU USE SEEDLESS RASPBERRY JAM INSTEAD OF THE KIND WITH SEEDS.

February is National Grapefruit Month!!!Grapefruit; I don’t know what it is about the “forbidden fruit” of Barbados.” I wouldn’t feel at all deprived if I never had a dish of grapefruit set before me again.

Music video of Oh! by Korean pop group Girls’ Generation , title track of their second full length album which has just been released… Cute video, but boring song. The Koreans seem to like it though; the lyrics obviously hit the right spot (girls’ love confession to guys) among the male fans as the album is selling like hot cakes and set to top every major music charts.
