Cinco de Mayo and Clementine Ceviche
by Krista | May 5, 2010 | Compatriot Wednesday
It's so wonderful to arrive at CEC in daylight again! So lovely to putter in the kitchen as the sun streams in the windows shimmering through our wine glasses before sinking behind the trees. :-)This week we chose Cinco de Mayo as our theme, and we laughed as most of...
A Bosnian Detour
by Krista | May 4, 2010 | Spring
It's not every day you get lost driving through Bosnia and stumble upon a military installation complete with tanks and fighter jets and end up hanging out the window snapping pictures like mad with your heart beating like crazy because you think you're going to be...

I'm tucked in bed on a blustery evening, watching a grey squirrel as he laps up water from a puddle, then dashes over to a large cedar tree, grasps a dandelion stem with two paws, and starts nibbling. 🙂 So cute. :-)I had a lovely walk today, storm clouds black in...
Old Town Ljubljana and a Slovenian Gas Station Breakfast
by Krista | Apr 27, 2010 | Spring
It was just past 5 a.m. as we continued our sunrise stroll through Old Town Ljubljana in Slovenia. The streets were empty save for a few brave souls heading to work, clattering across the cobble stones on bicycles or click-clacking through the square in high heels....
