Meet Me In . . .: obložené chlebícky

http://meet-me-in.blogspot.com/2014/03/oblozene-chlebicky.html

Mar 22, 2014. Obložené Chlebícky are artful open-faced sandwiches. As our food tour guides Zuzi and Karolina said: the Czech version of fast food. Sorry I can't help with the pronunciation. Below are a caseful of these beauties at a deli in Prague. It's a fuzzy shot, but you get a hint of the variety and creativity available in these little sandwiches. The potato salad is a little different. Here is what I went with after reading some other recipes and doing the metric conversions. Dice the potatoes, car...

Meet Me In . . .: March 2013

http://meet-me-in.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html

Mar 31, 2013. Bologna, making pasta. I hope you are ready for a feast of food posts because I've been in what is known as "the stomach of Italy" for 4 days. This region is home to parmigiano reggiano, balsamic vinegar, ragu, and prosciutto d'parma. So my stay all starts with 1 italian teacher, 2 italian cooking instructors, 3 different pastas, 2 sauces and 5 very full students.here. That's my lovely little ball of pasta dough waiting for help from the teacher. A few Bolognese food tidbits. Dumpling-like ...

Meet Me In . . .: The Map

http://meet-me-in.blogspot.com/p/portofino-italy-here-are-all-those.html

Remember that first itinerary I posted: Option A. As predicted it has changed. A lot. Imagine putting all the destinations in a box, adding a few more, shaking it real good and dumping it out. That's pretty much what it feels like and I couldn't be happier. Here's how 2013 played out. Bergen and Stavanger Norway. Hamburg, Seiffen and Dresden Germany. Bologna, Dozza, Modena, Parma and Sesso Italy. Bologna, Dozza, Florence and Verona Italy. La Spezia, Cinque Terre and Lake Como Italy. Denver (my new home).

Meet Me In . . .: April 2013

http://meet-me-in.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html

Apr 26, 2013. My plane arrived 30 minutes early in Manchester. I didn't know that was possible. So I peeked into an airport shop, scored 3 books for the price of 2 and now have 2 weeks to finish them before I return my rental car (aka extra luggage space). And this is how I make them portable, tearing into sections. Some may think it's sacrilege, I call it being prepared. You never know when the urge to pop into a cafe or onto a park bench to read for a while will hit. Posted by Nicola Morris. So I did t...

Meet Me In . . .: An Ode to 2013

http://meet-me-in.blogspot.com/2013/12/an-ode-to-2013.html

Dec 31, 2013. An Ode to 2013. It all started with a dream to travel the world. Quit my job and explore. December thirty first two thousand twelve. For one-fourth of the year in Europe I roamed. Czech Republic Sweden France Italy. Slovakia Switzerland two times Germany. Norway Denmark Luxembourg Scotland. Netherlands Austria Belgium England. I itch and scratch. Job free, three hundred sixty five days. Not the original plan, not complaining. Utah Hawaii DC Virginia. Colorado New York Idaho California.

http://meet-me-in.blogspot.com/2014/01/my-1-travel-accessory-and-giveaway.html

Jan 29, 2014. My #1 Travel Accessory (and giveaway). There she is in action, (we'll call her "E") enjoying her very own seat in an empty first class train room somewhere in Europe. Although my real suitcase was just above my head, having "E" filled with goodies during multi-hour train rides was a life saver. Contents: journaling supplies, snacks! Here in the Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh, Scotland "E" protected my bum from the muddy grass as I ate my Birthday cupcake. On the train leaving Basel Swi...

Meet Me In . . .: May 2013

http://meet-me-in.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html

May 31, 2013. An update from Denver. Yes, I'm back in the U.S.A with a lot of extra luggage and one gigantic carry-on of mixed emotions. 2 days in a row. Snooze is a Colorado based breakfast/brunch eatery (who now has a stop in San Diego! Only in this picture. We caught this guy during an interview for an upcoming taping. Instead our breakfasts (not to mention our fried fare from H Burger) fueled our shopping and strolling down 16th street. Past the big bear. And to the Denver Art Museum. May 23, 2013.

http://meet-me-in.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html

Oct 30, 2013. Today I'm kicking off a weekly post: TOO GOOD TO MISS TUESDAY. On tuesdays I will share past travel faves that deserve appreciation, fun stuff that has been kept in my back pocket- due to no fault of its own. Welcome to The Market NYC. I still dream of these beauties especially those 2 on the far right, in the lower background, but alas my carry on max was already at its limit and those are whopper woven creations, even if they are aqua. So I went with a baby lavender version. I lov...And h...
