A Christmas Foodie Tour in Brisbane, Australia
by Krista | Dec 12, 2011 | Bootstrap Monday
Rain bucketed down Wednesday morning as my friend Barbara (from Winos and Foodies) and I sipped coffee and nibbled delicious pain au chocolat from the wonderful French patisserie Chouquette in Brisbane. Both of us are early risers, so we had a few hours to kill before...
Breakfast and Inspiration in an Italian Courtyard
by Krista | Dec 7, 2011 | Compatriot Wednesday
September mornings in the old town part of Vogogna, Italy are wonderfully dark and quiet. The darkness is not from lack of sunlight, but from the inevitable shade created when tall, stone buildings rub shoulders with each other, towering over the narrow cobbled...
A Christmasy Jaunt to Brisbane
by Krista | Dec 5, 2011 | Gulliver Tuesday
Mornin' luvs! It is crazily chilly, windy, and dark in Queensland, Australia this week. Brrr! I heard that this is the coldest start to summery they've had in 51 years and I don't doubt it. Shiver! Today I'm packing up my little suitcase, making sure I have sweater,...
Bad Things, Good Things and Spiced Plum Soup
by Krista | Dec 3, 2011 | Compatriot Wednesday
Hi luvs! Is your weekend off to a good start? Mine's been a bit rough, but things are getting better today. 🙂 Turns out my issues with mold and Ecoli I had in Washington weren't fully resolved and have resurrected with a vengeance. Docs have me on four meds now and...
The Streets of London and a Spot of Tea
by Krista | Nov 30, 2011 | Plucky Thursday
It's a perfectly marvelous stormy day today, gusting winds, pouring rain, and it feels every bit like England in the fall. So this afternoon I'm going to take you on a pictorial jaunt with me and my dear friend Katy through the streets of London. It was late afternoon...
Wine, Chickens and Love: My First Australian Birthday
by Krista | Nov 28, 2011 | Gulliver Tuesday
Starting your life over completely is a scary, overwhelming and wonderful thing. Along the way you run out of money, meet amazing new people, and parts of yourself come to life that have lain dormant for ages. You have great days and weepy ones, and sometimes, right...
Critters on My Aussie Farm
by Krista | Nov 22, 2011 | Compatriot Wednesday
Good morning, luvs! It's a blissfully cloudy day and I'm so grateful for the coolness after the piping hot weather we've had the last few weeks. 🙂 I thought I'd take you on a little tour of some of my beloved critters here on the farm in Australia. 🙂 We have a LOT...
Australian Gum Trees, Wildflowers and Homemade Bread
by Krista | Nov 20, 2011 | Bootstrap Monday
Well, I've been officially sick for two weeks now. Bear has been too, and folks from work are coming down with this wretched cold/flu thing left, right and center. I've drunk copious amounts of tea, bowls of soup, and, it must be admitted, a whole lot of salty potato...
Hiking near Bologna and Real Italian Minestrone Soup
by Krista | Nov 17, 2011 | Plucky Thursday
Good morning, luvs! After my Bolognese friend Maddalena and I explored bombed out villas in a beautiful Italian park near Bologna, we emerged from the tree line to see this stunning view. I could hardly believe it! The colors were so rich and glorious in the late...
