A trip across Paris in a van. Lost drumsticks. A cafe you'd never expect to visit before the age of 60. An hour of waiting, and then, voilà--a few notes on the harmonium, a grand piano, a heavenly voice. Sigur Ros on a Take Away Show.

These photos are from a private collection of a typical Moscow family. They are dated back to 1936 – 1940 — the years known as the period of Stalin’s most cruel political repressions. Surprisingly enough, people still managed to try and have a few laughs during those harsh times.
So I am guessing they don’t have wind in China? Designed by architect Terunobu Fujimori,
Takasugi-an is located in Chino, Nagano Prefecture, Japan and built
atop two chestnut trees, cut from a nearby mountain and transported to
the site. Takasugi-an literally means “a teahouse too high.”

For centuries,
restaurants have been making the same fiscal error time and time again:
serving delicious food at reasonable prices. Truly a recipe for
fiduciary disaster. Here at least are ten restaurants that understand,
to truly make a profit in the food business, you want to guarantee your
patrons eat as little as possible, then get the hell out. It’s called
“high turnover.” Ask an economist.

I had so much fun with my dad's dog the past few days, I was very sad to see her go back home. So smart, so loyal. She never barked, she didn't shed. He hair is silky smooth. She's just like a little stuffed animal. Sometimes I didn't believe she was real.
She has so much energy. She always seemed to have a smile on her face and wanted your attention more than anything in the world. We played fetch with a ping pong ball. She loved jumping on me, and biting my hand. My dad made a really great decision to get a dog. I'm looking forward to spending lots of time with her.
A year ago, on our trip to Miami, Mark and I had the most amazing bread in the world. I think we ate about 20 rolls each, AT LEAST (later we found out that the chef only makes so many a day, he probably was sweating cold sweat, cursing at those stupid Americans who almost made him become short on bread for the other diners). I couldn't exactly pinpoint what made it so amazing back then - it was very moist, with a hint of cheese, a little salty, and just down right mind-blowing.
I finally found out the name for the bread and tried to make it myself. On our second try, it came out perfect. =)
You can find the recipe on this website: http://www.asadoargentina.com/pao-de-queijo-pan-de-queso-cheese-rolls/
A few notes:
1. Cassava starch is basically tapioca starch.
2. Even tho the recipe calls for 500 grams of cheese, a little less actually comes out better
3. The recipe didn't specify a temperature. I started with 350F for 20 minutes, followed by 10 minutes at 400F to brown the outside of the rolls. However, if you have more cheese, in order to make sure that the inside is cooked well and not gooey, you should start at a lower temperature, like 300F (and perhaps bake longer than 30 minutes). Enjoy!
Man, I'm so sorry I forgot to take pictures of the first two steps. -__- I will probably make this again though. I adapted the recipe from one I found on AllRecipes.com.
