A Glimpse of Albania
by Krista | Mar 10, 2011 | Plucky Thursday

What Boys Cook When It’s Vegetarian Night
by Krista | Mar 9, 2011 | Spring
I arrived at Culinary Experimentation Club Monday night to the unmistakable smell of slow-cooked beef. On any other night such deliciousness would delight me beyond measure but this night was supposed to be the first of an entire month of vegetarian cooking. Hmmm. The...

by Krista | Mar 8, 2011 | Gulliver Tuesday
There are few things more relaxing to me than several hours spent lounging in a hammock, eyes closed, gently swaying in passing breezes. It's even more wonderful when that hammock is slung between two palm trees on a white sand beach in Fiji, mere yards away from the...

Good morning, luvs. 🙂 I woke this weekend to a winter wonderland! I've only seen snow a couple of times this season, so it made me smile. Then I hunkered down under the covers and spent a glorious morning reading and drinking tea. I live in a teensy apartment in a...
