One part opportunity, one part spontaneity, whip vigorously
I fell in love with Belgium as soon as I landed. Well actually being more honest it wasn’t untill I got to our AirBNB. I went to bed in Madrid at about 4:30 am on NYE and then left for the airport at 5:30 am. I landed at 9 am and couldn’t check in till…
Our day with the elephants was a highlight of this trip to say the least! When we decided we were going to Thailand and started planning visiting elephants and bathing with them was a must. We did some research to make sure we were visiting an authentic elephant rescue and rehabilitation center and we picked…
Below is a snapshot into the first day of 27 for me; I think it is going to be a good year. Looking for an amazing winter cake recipe? My sister Kara made me this Blood Orange, Almond and Ricotta Cake and it was awesome!
The best meal I had in Thailand was in Chiang Mai was a suggestion from a friend/coworker who had honeymooned in Thailand last year. This restaurant was basically in a parking lot. And since the restaurant was basically just a restaurant with a cement base and tin roof in a parking lot it made it pretty…
Sunday Night Market I would be lying if I said that seeing the elephants during my Chiang Mai visited wasn’t what I was most excited for; but I can say now that though the elephants were awesome the city was pretty great too—I mean I ended up singing “Total Eclipse of the Heart” one night…
I spent NYE in Madrid with coworkers on a “work” trip. I put quotes around work because I can’t really call it work if I’m in Madrid. I was able to see a few places I haven’t been and visit an old favorite. First I was able to go inside the Royal Palace of Madrid…
I started 2016 in Belgium drinking some of the best beers in the world. Stay tuned for posts about the ups and downs and awesome times from this trip!
On our last day in Bangkok we went to the Grand Palace. The palace was the home for Thai Kings from 1782 to 1925 and now is used for official events and the king now lives in Chitralada Villa in the Dusit Palace which is north of the Grand Palace. You have to pay 500…
Christmas Day in Denver began with snow lightly dusting the city to give us a beautiful white Christmas! Over Christmas Eve and Day we had our traditional pierogis and borscht with apps and then ham with roasted rainbow carrots and garlic mashed potatoes. What is not pictured this year is the pierogies, chocolate torte, gingerbread whoopie…
Christmas is almost here and you might be looking for something different to bake than the usual gingerbread anything or fruitcake. Well the wait is over, I give you cannoli pound cake. It has a rich flavor and it seems like a fancier bread but it has pretty basic ingredients. Once you put this in the oven…
