I was invited (well, not personally, but still…) to join the Fandango’s Friday Flashback! Fandango scrolls back, every Friday, and gives a second chance to a post he had published on the same date the year before. I thought it was a great way to remember some of the stuff I did a while back, and I decided to participate… So…… Continue reading Once upon a Time…
Since I wrote about Mr Sparrow, I’ve been hoping to give you Lovelies an update about his very rebellious birdy ways, but it seems like the whole family has left the nest now. The constant action on our balcony has ceased shortly after the publishing of my post, and I am guessing the reason…… Continue reading Angry birds…
Can I pet your dog? The clear voice of the little girl caught my ear right away. I love this innocent way children have of approaching strangers with oblivious confidence. Not aware yet of the fear of others they will slowly but surely develop, as years will go by. How polite! I thought, knowing that…… Continue reading Strangers…
When did life become so dangerous? I mean, when I was a child, we’d go on a ride in my father’s car and no one would have a seatbelt on, there were no airbags, and the bumpers were made out of steel… Doctors smoked in their office, and children had the right to bring…… Continue reading You can thank me later…
I don’t drink coffee. I love the smell of it, but it just won’t make it past my lips. I never could drink it, and I doubt that will ever change. I learnt to make coffee as a child. There was always a pot brewing in the house, because both my parents drank it…… Continue reading Coffee is dangerous…
I’ve been quiet today, but I had a good reason. Tonight was hockey night in Montréal. I usually watch the games at home, on tv. Occasionally, we book a table at a restaurant who presents it on large screens. But this evening, we had tickets to go see the game live at Bell Center, home…… Continue reading Meanwhile in Canada…
I’ve talked about hygge before. Cosy’s Danish little cousin is one of the things I like the most about Denmark. You know how some stereotypical images get to mind, when you think about some countries. And when you finally make the trip, and want to experience it, you are disappointed? Well, Danes’ hygge is…… Continue reading Hygge…
What do you do when you had to wake up at 3:30 in the morning to go to work, when it is freezing cold outside, and the sidewalks are dangerously icy? Easy, you get home, put on your favorite pjs and furry socks, you snuggle into a warm blanket, and relax. A…… Continue reading What do you do?
I really enjoy cooking. It is a useful hobby, and it makes most people happy when you feed them… It’s just a win/win activity. You might have read my previous post about making my first batch of homemade spaghetti here. Today, I decided to give the fresh pasta adventure a second try. The…… Continue reading There’s a first to everything… (2)
And I can’t believe it took me this long to try this. I watch my fair share of cooking tv shows. And one thing that always amazed me was to see people make fresh pasta from scratch for one hour challenges! I mean, it does look easy, but as much as I am confident in my…… Continue reading There’s a first to everything…
