I have now safely returned from the German highways - I managed to get the car to 190 km/hour at one point - boy that was FAST!!:o)! Saw two amazing - and stylistically very different - instructions of Wagner operas (Tristan & Isolde and Lohengrin) in Bayreuth, the mecca of Wagner-fanatics. A great experience that I wouldn't mind doing all over, should tickets become available again (hint, hint Dad!)
Alas, vacation will soon come to an end - just one more week! I have to return to school - which, as always, sets mixed feelings of excitement, fear and joy rolling around in my tummy. Luckily, I got into the division I had as my first priority, so things are looking well from the beginning - it's always nice to get off to a good start. But you know, there are always all of the things you never got to do - like finishing the scrapbooks, alphabetize the cupboards, work like a dog to make enough money to last you through the winter (and for all the other stuff), getting into the habit of baking my own bread and plan our dinners for the forthcoming semester (wouldn't want to be caught of guard, now, would I?) And oh yeah - spend time with the family, the friends, send out e-mails and candy and answer the memes and... okay, I better stop now before I feel too bummed! :-) I've had a great summer, and I'm gonna squeeze out as much of the rest of it as I can before it really ends. For when it does end, I bought this little bag of tea from a cute shop in Bayreuth - it's filled with dry fruits and little heart-shaped candies - I'm sure it will be awfully sweet, but I just couldn't resist.
This post was supposed to be a little intro to what you might expect to see on these pages for the next couple of months - but - and there's always the but: I haven't made a plan (geez, another thing I didn't do!) [DANSK] will of course continue, and Dining with the Bloggers is due to return very soon - and my God there are so many new blogs I have to try recipes from I have no idea where to begin!
... I have made one plan for the future, though. It's not entirely devoted to food, but I'm sure food will be worked in there in miraculous ways! To set the plan alive, I will need to pick the brains of all you people - I promise it won't hurt, I'm a professional, remember? Tee-hee! So stay tuned - the next year will probably be just as weird as the first one*, LOL!
*yes, I am one of those persons with a blog turning one this month - in 3 days to be exact - it's amazing we can keep our aprons on with all those blog-toddlers around!
- State By State - Maryland
Well, I promised I'd be back in February to begin State by State... and I've only got a few more minutes to make good on my promise! We'll see how things evolve, but right now I'd say my plan is not to try to be comprehensive, but for...
- In My Heart: Livestrong With A Taste Of Yellow 2010
I could write something poetic here. That's never been my style. So I'll stick to the facts. Cancer stalks the women in my family. On both sides. My Grammy is one of five girls; all five battled at least one form of cancer. More than one found...
- Me Me Me - And It Isn't Even A Meme!
You know what? Apart from the new design, there's another thing I think my site needed. I've been keeping this blog for almost a year now, and still I've managed to tell you only a tiny bit about ME - I mean, apart from all of the food hooha,...
- Back To School!
As you might have guessed from the sudden infrequency of posts - at one point in my school break I think I actually posted EVERY DAY! - I have gone back to school again. I wanted to THANK YOU ALL for your nice comments on me passing my exam recently...
- A Cake Tin And Some Blueberries...
My Dad and his wife recently brought me back this Bundt cake tin from a trip to Bayreuth - the city of Wagner operas and, apparently, some really nice kitchenware shops. Yes, I had to be nerdy enough to have this as my "wish list item no. 1". I've...
