Albanian Shepherds and Oven-Roasted Radishes
by Krista | Apr 26, 2012 | Fabulous Friday
I love going on road-trips. Especially on gorgeously sunny days with the windows down and dear friends beside me. One of my favorite road-trips of all time was through Albania. It was a wild, crazy adventure of unreadable maps, wrong turns, and roads that were little...
At Dawn on ANZAC Day
by Krista | Apr 24, 2012 | Compatriot Wednesday
Figures moved like wraiths through the thick morning fog. Wraiths clad in hoodies and fleece jackets, streaming towards the Dawn Service commemorating ANZAC Day in Warwick, Queensland. I held tightly to Bear's warm hand as we joined stragglers gathered at the gates to...
Writing, Dreaming and a Spiced Caramel Pear and Apple Pie
by Krista | Apr 22, 2012 | Bootstrap Monday
I have one dog snoozing in my lap and the other napping soundly on the floor. My cup of tea is next to me and the doors and windows are open to catch the warm breezes on this beautifully sunny Autumn morning. I love working from home. 🙂 Yes, there are piles of...

by Krista | Apr 18, 2012 | Fabulous Friday
After a solid week of hard work I'm celebrating with a caramelized apple pie topped with Havarti cheese. It's cooling in the kitchen now and smells so ridiculously good. While I wait for it to be ready I have a few moments to tell you about the projects I told you...

by Krista | Apr 13, 2012 | Fabulous Friday
Late afternoon sunshine streamed through the windows of Our Lord in the Attic (Museum Ons' Lieve Heer op Solder) as I continued my exploration of this amazing hidden 17th Century Catholic Church in Amsterdam. Last time I shared photos from my trusty phone of the...
Slow-cooked Horse, Lard with Honey, and Other Delicious Things to Eat
by Krista | Apr 11, 2012 | Compatriot Wednesday
Hi lovelies! It's a gorgeously sunny but blustery day and I'm tucked up on my favorite cushy green chair with my new puppy Luna curled cozily in my lap. Bear and I have been looking for the perfect pup to keep me company on the farm, but until yesterday hadn't found...
Our Lord in the Attic in Amsterdam, Part One
by Krista | Apr 5, 2012 | Fabulous Friday
Our Lord in the Attic. The first time I heard the name of this tiny 17th Century Catholic church in Amsterdam, I loved it and knew I simply had to visit. Although it was wicked cold on the day I chose, I bundled up against the bone-chilling wind and headed out to find...
