Ristorante Poggio agli Ulivi – Mugello, Italy

Densely Populated Florence Italy Visiting friends who live just outside of Florence taught me that the area has a thriving agritourism industry that would be perfect for a return visit with my family. Similar to bed and breakfasts, what you find are converted rustic farm houses that have rooms or small apartments with complete kitchens and often pools.  This style can be a nice and casual alternative to staying at the Westin Excelsior Florence for example

Under the Mediterranean sun with this in my hand

This vegetable-cum- fruit was reviled to be poisonous. Peruvians called it ‘Peruvian Apple’, the French referred to it as the ‘love apple’ of ‘golden apple’. That is, until the 18th century, when having travelled the waters from Peru to the shores of Naples, then a part of Spain, reaching northwards to the rest of Europe, the tomato has invaded most of European cuisine, and of course the world

MyPlace Laptop Table (review)

I have been doing a lot of cleaning up and getting rid of stuff that I no longer use over the summer (particularly when my mom came, because I wanted to have my place tidy and ready for when she visited me. One of the things I hadn’t really had a chance to use lately was my “MyPlace” laptop workstation (pictured). My cousin M gave it to me last Christmas as she knew that I needed it for when I work at home.

Anglo Indian Recipes

Anglo-Indian food is the delicious result of the British Raj in India. Indian Khansamas (cooks) took aspects of British cuisine and amalgamated them with Indian methods of cooking, spices, ingredients to create Anglo-Indian Cuisine! The result was soups tempered with cumin and red chillies, roasts cooked in whole spices like cloves, pepper and cinnamon, rissoles and croquettes flavored with turmeric and garam masala…. Over the years, Anglo-Indian cooking has become more Indian than British.

Award-Winning Ahwahnee in Yosemite Delivers Best Lunch

Best Monte Cristo sandwich in the country Decades ago, I walked into the restaurant at The Ahwahnee in Yosemite National Park with my parents and didn’t have time to get comfortable before they were saying, “Kids, put the menus down. We’re leaving.” It was just too pricey for a family of four living on a civil servant’s salary.

What It’s Like To Burn A Defender For A Touchdown

I’ve been sidelined with a broken finger for what’s approaching two months, so I’ve been missing playing football a lot .  I had to answer a What It’s Like question recently and I’m afraid my answer will not be used and I don’t want it to go to waste, so I’m posting it here. What It’s Like To Burn A Defender For A Touchdown At the line, you eye your defender off the line to see how they are playing you, if they are out of position, if they’re playing press coverage or if they are giving you cushion, if their feet are aligned improperly, whatever you can learn to give you an advantage. Next, you survey the rest of the defense: is the safety playing close or deep; to your side or the far side?

Boasting the title of the cafe with “the best cheesecake in Vancouver), Trees Organic Cafe is a pretty nice coffee shop.
