Let's talk about fall and pumpkin recipes, shall we? More exactly, pumpkin custard. Fall is a wonderful season, especially if it follows a summer during which we were able to spend a lot of time outside playing, biking, running, basking in the sun, catching fish, camping, and just plain relaxing. Fall seems like it is a season of action. School [...]
I have been thinking for a while of making something with pickles that my son would eat, as he does not like pickles. Pickles have healthy bacteria for the gut and should be eaten on a regular basis.

This chocolate chip cake is truly amazing. It turned out way better than I thought it would. It went through many changes, but I finally came up with the winning version.

What do you call a happy event followed right away by a crappy one? Everything balances in life? Don’t get too comfortable as something is going to happen and is not going to be good? Let me explain why I ask. My family and I recently went on a holiday. One afternoon, I went on a long walk while my [...]

If you enjoyed my first story about my husband in Romania, you might also enjoy this next one. Romanian drivers are known for their crazy driving. At a crosswalk, even if you are already engaged in crossing, they will not stop. Instead, they roll their car very close to your legs and when they consider that you are close to [...]
