The White Witch and Lavender Mint Turkish Delight
by Krista | May 20, 2010 | Literary Nibbles
Today I am starting a feature that makes me grin when I think of it: Literary Nibbles. I have been a voracious reader since I was a little girl "reading" books upside down from my perch inside a galvanized bucket. I devoured Little House on the Prairie and Narnia, was...
Deep Fried Game Hens and Lime Pavlovas with Mangoes
by Krista | May 19, 2010 | Compatriot Wednesday
Monday was one of those ghastly days where everything seemed to go wrong. I was exhausted and on the verge of tears as I worked feverishly to fix one mess after another when suddenly, like a burst of sunshine after days of fog, everything righted itself and all was...
Bosnian Mountains and Balkan Cevapi
by Krista | May 18, 2010 | Spring
After our wild drive through the back country of Bosnia and discovering this oh-so-gorgeous lake, we continued to meander through thickly-forested mountains, catching our breath at towering cliffs, turquoise lakes, and pristine rivers cascading through deep, rocky...

by Krista | May 17, 2010 | Bootstrap Monday
Happy Monday, dear ones! How was your weekend? You inspired me with your "simple pleasures" on Friday, and I hope you each found time to indulge in at least one thing that made you happy. My weekend was a lovely hodgepodge of solitude and company, sunshine and gray...

by Krista | May 14, 2010 | Fabulous Friday
Hello dear ones! I've truly missed you these last few days as I've scrambled to put together a semblance of a blog after much fuss and bother with my last one. There is still work to be done, but I'm so happy to have a place to put down my blog roots for a good, long...
A Little Test
by Krista | May 14, 2010 | Bits 'n' Bobs
Good evening, dear ones!! I'm in the process of transitioning to a new blog, fumbling and fussing as I go. Yipes! This is just a little test to see if everything is posting smoothly. I will be back tomorrow with a real post. Sleep tight!!
Heartache and Beauty: A Bosnian Tale
by Krista | May 11, 2010 | Spring
After our hair-raising adventure just over the border into Bosnia, we were delighted to find our road emerge into gentle, rolling hills, some smooth with closely nibbled pasture, others carpeted with thick forests. I was glued to my window, scarcely wanting to blink...
Sunshiny Days and French Toast with Toasted Prosciutto
by Krista | May 10, 2010 | Bootstrap Monday
A Washington summer is so beautiful, so exquisitely clear and sunny and green, that we happily (cough, cough) endure months of dreary winter rains and the random hail storms of spring. This weekend brought those glorious sunshiny days at long last. I unpacked my...
A Wee Bit Feisty and Blueberry Pudding Cake with Crème Fraîche
by Krista | May 7, 2010 | Fabulous Friday
Happy Friday, dear ones! Aren't you SO glad that the weekend is almost here? 🙂 It's been a decidedly wild but good week for me, and I'm feeling quite brave and feisty this evening after battling fears, squashing false guilt, and facing obstacles with my chin up. :-)...
