A Quick Travel Planning Tip

When you are planning a trip, don’t forget to visit the country’s visitors board. If you are visiting a popular city, there may also be a tourist board dedicated to that city. Why should you visit one? They often have the most up-to-date information about places to stay, shop and eat. A lot of them [...]

Fun with Vinegar

(Photo Credit flickr mr.bones)
I’ve been reading a lot on how important vinegar is for… well, everything. Everything you ask? YES! EVERYTHING! I always knew it was important for my favorite filipino food recipe, chicken adobo. I also enjoy the balsamic variety on fresh mozzarella and beefsteak tomatoes. When I was in China last year, I [...]

Scituate Art Festival

Terri at Originals by Terri has written a great post about the Scituate Art Festival in Rhode Island next month. It sounds like it is a fun time. She also provides information for other things to do in Scituate. I wish I could go to the festival, or at the very least Rhode Island. I [...]

Fun Links

I love these bowls by Loyal Loot that I saw on sub-studio design blog. I can totally see these at a dinner party holding some sort of appetizer, maybe a dip? Or a salad? The only thing I don’t understand is how to wash them, since the outside is made of reclaimed trees. It seems [...]

Foreign Language Alphabet Posters

OMG! The people at ohdeedoh have found something I have to have. It’s from the really cool poster site l’affiche moderne, which I’ve blogged about before. Here it is in blue, it also comes in pink.

Thing is, all these posters are limited edition prints. So, I have to get it right now if I really [...]

Martha Stewart’s Blogging Room

I’ve noticed that this season Martha Stewart has really embraced blogging. She talks about it on her show frequently and mentions it to her guests often. She did a show completely devoted to blogging last week (which I enjoyed for the most part, there was one part I disagreed with), she’s encouraging bloggers to go [...]

Recreating this site

I’m working on a new look to this site. Nothing major, probably just the header and footer. I’m having the hardest time drawing a turtle though. I thought it would be cute to somehow include a turtle, but I don’t know if I can.
