Sunday: Three Things

1. I’ve decided to do a survey to see what I should make for dinner tomorrow evening. Please vote in the comments, I will either make Chicken Salad with Red and Green Grapes or North End Chicken in a Pot. Both recipes are from the “In the Kennedy Kitchen” Cookbook by Neil Connolly. It’s one of my favorite cookbooks. Whatever I cook, I’ll post the pics and outcome tomorrow. {Photo from Amazon}

2. Chez Larsson is one of my favorite blogs. She has such a beautiful home that you can tell she loves so much. She is inspiring me to organize my own home and get rid of clutter. This ultimately means less time on the internet, but I think that’s a good thing. {Photo from Chez Larsson}

3. I found this interesting blog about living in the Seychelles today. The Seychelles has always been this beautiful, exotic place in my mind. I’m excited to start reading about from a local. {Photo from National Geographic}

In honor of the Seychelles blog, and because of my interest in it, I’m closing this post with the Seychelles Tourist Board ad. If the weather is bad where you are, don’t look. It could make you a tad jealous.

This brief commercial for Lódz, Poland is perfect. Take a look.

“Would You In Lódz?”

Destination: Azerbaijan

On a recent trip, I saw the video above about Azerbaijan and the country looks beautiful. From the Azerbaijan tourism website, I learned that the country is a major player on the silk road route. I’ve always been fascinated by the silk road and I’m currently looking for a good book about it. If you have any suggestions, please comment.

Anyway, Azerbaijan’s trade contribution, among other things, is the Azerbaijan carpet. The carpet tradition has been passed on from generation to generation. They are displayed at several of the world’s famous museums. The country itself also has several museums devoted just to the carpet. Here’s a link to the Azerbaijan State Museum of Art, which includes carpets, jewelry and more.
