kan man lätt påstå att de är idag ………… 

vakna vid 9 tiden o de såg så mörkt o trist ute. de var väl uppehåll men regnet hängde verkligen i luften. satte på kaffe o blev sittandes här vid datan som vanligt ………. men å andra sidan är de faktiskt tillåtet att vara lite lat när de är söndag ………..

tycker så fruktansvärt synd om mina tjejer som måste ta skit från andra som inte kan lämna dom ifred. jag har blivit ombedd att lämna hennes dotter ifred …… o givetvis undrar jag ju då ……….. är inte de ömsesidigt. snälla lämna mina tjejer ifred ………. sluta skicka SMS o sluta ring för att gapa o skrika. har du inge intelligent att säga är de bättre att du är tyst. de blir så mycke lugnare då. tycker de är synd att mina nära o kära måste råka illa ut bara för att jag är hatad o ratad ………. gå på mig istället o visa att du har lite ryggrad …. *suck*

har väl gått här o plockat o donat hela dagen. syster var här en snabb runda för att plocka upp hennes saker …………. o hon hann sitta ner i 10 minuter, inte illa ………. med tanke på hur många järn i elden hon har. är rädd att de slår tillbaka snart bara ………. man kan inte hålla på så en längre tid innan kroppen säger ifrån ……. hoppas på de bästa för syster yster  

har idag gjort en riktig söndagsmiddag. för första gången i mitt liv har jag lyckats göra köttfärslimpa, tillsammans med klyftpotatis, lök o morötter i ugnen. med extra kokta morötter vid sidan o brunsås blev de en fulländad middag o de blev jättegott. är riktigt imponerad av mig själv faktiskt ……

har oxå varit ute o cyklat runt smålandsstenar under eftermiddagen. kännde att jag behövde röra på mig lite. har suttit inne hela helgen så de var skönt med frisk luft …………. nu ska jag ta en cappucino o en stor chokladmuffins i soffan framför tv ……….. regnet öser ner ute o då är lagligt att mysa isoffan …….

This weekend has been one of me stuck in bed!So I decided that I would let you in on some of myfavourite favourite recipes surrounding coffee treats!Being a caffeine addict for many many years now, I’vemanaged to stumble upon and create the most divinerecipes known to coffee holics!  So without keeping youin suspense, here they are, try them out, and let me know how it goes! AUSTRIAN COFFEE CAKE THAT WILL WOW EVEN YOUR MOTHER-IN-LAW! Ingredients: For the sponge cake: 1½ level tbls instant coffee mixed with 2 tbls boiling water 75g walnut halves 175 g self-raising flour 1½ level teaspoons baking powder 175g softened butter 175g brown sugar sifted 3 large eggs at room temperature For the syrup: 1 level tablespoon instant espresso coffee powder 50 g Demerara sugar For the filling and topping: 1 level tablespoon instant espresso coffee powder 1 rounded tablespoon golden caster sugar 10 walnut halves, reserved from the sponge cake 250 g mascarpone 200 ml 8 per cent fat fromage frais THEN:   First of all you need to toast all the walnuts, so spread them on a baking sheet and place in the pre-heated oven for 7-8 minutes. After that, reserve 10 halves to use as decoration later and finely chop the rest. Take a very large mixing bowl, put the flour and baking powder in a sieve and sift it into the bowl, holding the sieve high to give it a good airing as it goes down. Now all you do is simply add all the other cake ingredients (except the coffee and walnuts) to the bowl and, provided the butter is really soft, just go in with an electric hand whisk and whisk everything together until you have a smooth, well-combined mixture, then fold in the coffee and chopped walnuts. This will take about 1 minute but, if you don’t have an electric hand whisk, you can use a wooden spoon and a little bit more effort. What you should end up with is a soft mixture that drops off the spoon easily when you give it a sharp tap; if not, add a spot of water. Divide the mixture between the prepared sandwich tins, spreading the mixture around evenly. Then place the tins on the centre shelf of the oven and bake them for 30 minutes. While the cakes are cooking you can make up the syrup and the filling and topping. For the syrup, first place the coffee and sugar in a heatproof jug, then measure 2 fl oz (55 ml) boiling water into it and stir briskly until the coffee and sugar have dissolved, which will take about 1 minute. Next, the filling and topping, and all you do here is place all the ingredients, except the reserved walnuts, in a bowl and whisk them together till thoroughly blended. Then cover the bowl with clingwrap and chill till needed. When the cakes are cooked, i.e., feel springy in the centre, remove them from the oven but leave them in their tins and prick them all over with a skewer while they are still hot. Now spoon the syrup as evenly as possible over each one and leave them to soak up the liquid as they cool in their tins. When they are absolutely cold, turn them outvery carefully and peel off the base papers – it’s a good idea to turn one out on to the plate you’re going to serve it on. Then spread half the filling and topping mixture over the first cake, place the other cake carefully on top and spread the other half over. Finally, arrange the reserved walnut halves in a circle all around. It’s a good idea to chill the cake if you’re not going to serve it immediately. TRIPLE ICED ESPRESSO (Hetties Cocktails – Nigella Lawson)

A caffeine fix at any time of day is always a help, but mixed with acouple of bartender’s top-shelf specials and you’ve got a cocktail to wakeyou up before you go.   1 (25ml) shot of espresso, chilled 1 (25ml) shot of coffee liqueur 1 (25ml) shot dark rum1.  Pour the chilled coffee into an ice filled cocktail shaker and add the coffee liqueur and rum. Give it a shake and strain into a martini glass. For a real treat, whip up some cream for the top and sprinkle with cocoa! Bottoms up!! CRANBERRY AND PISTACHIO BISCOTTI (The awesome green and red colouring in these makes them perfect for Christmas!) Biscotti is one of those versatile Italian biscuits that you can playaround with flavours, this specific recipe I find great for this time of year because of the vibrant green and red.  But if that doesn’t tickle your taste buds, then why not try adding white chocolate drops and almonds, or coffee granules or dark chocolate drops! Experiment and find your perfect flavour! Ingredients: 1/4 cup Light olive oil 3/4 cup White sugar 2tsp Vanilla extract 1/2 tsp Almond extract 1 3/4 cup All-purpose flour Pinch of Salt 1 tsp Baking powder 1/2 cup Dried cranberries 1 1/2 cups Pistachio nuts Then: Preheat your oven to 150 degrees In a bowl mix the sugar and oil until well blended.  Then mix in the vanilla and almond extracts.  Next beat in the eggs. In a separate bowl combine all the dry ingredients.  Then gradually stir into the egg mixture forming dough. Then with your hands add the nuts and cranberries.  Divide the dough into two logs, place on parchment paper on a cookie tray. Note the dough may be a bit sticky so wet your hands with cool water to handle easier.  Bake for approximately 35mins  or until the dough is a light brown.  Remove from the oven and allow cooling for 10mins.  Then cut diagonally into 3/4 inch slices, lay on the parchment paper and bake for approximately 8 – 10mins or until dry.  Then allow cooling. Serve with yummy cappuccino!

Well thats all for today, happy cooking!

Cooking is like love.  It should be entered into with abandon or not at all. ~Harriet van Horne

Australienii se plictisesc. Din lipsa de altceva si bani in plus.

Celebra pictura a lui Leonardo da Vinci – “Frumoasa” Mona Lisa, a fost recreata din pahare cu cafea cu lapte, cappuccin, moccacino sau lapte.

Printre carti si caiete, in fata calculatorului, cu cana mea cu gargarite plina cu cappucino aburind, stau si-ti privesc poza pe mess. Iti simt lipsa in masura in care te-am avut. Imi imaginez ca esti in fata mea si bei, alaturi de mine, din cana ta cu gargarite, din cappucino-ul tau cu spuma. Vreau sa impartim iar ciocolata in bucatele si sa iti dau tie patratelele cu Iubire, Emotie, Tandrete … Vreau sa ma tii iar in brate si sa-ti simt respiratia in ceafa mea. Vreau iar sa adorm pe pieptul tau. Vreau astea si inca altele .. vreau tot ce-a fost si ce-ar urma sa fie ..

Koppene er skikkelig lekre med varm Cappucino….

…og det smakte like godt som det ser ut:))

Mint már említettem, a lehető legkevesebb hely nyit ki 7 óra környékén, úgyhogy hirtelen választásunk Laccíval a Bácsalmási szendvicsesre esett.

l'ászló

A mai program a következő volt: szendvicset fogunk enni, de izibe, iszunk hozzá kávét teát, aztán narancslevet, hogy egészségesek legyünk és aztán elmondjuk a srácnak, hogy köszönjük a finom ételt, megírjuk az internetre.

Egészen büszke vagyok magunkra, ugyanis mindez sikerült. Ráadásul nem csak nekünk, hanem Safinak is, aki időközben érkezett legnagyobb meglepetésemre (és örömömre). Már csak azért is jó volt, hogy jött, mert lerázta magáról a konzervativizmus és a társadalmi klisé elvárások bagettigényét és nem azt kért. Hanem ilyen valamit. Kenyéren pástétom meg ízletesen kinéző dolgok (Safi tényleg: hogy ízlett?). Meg kávét mellé.

Az eledel elfogyasztása után és miután megbeszéltük Laccíval, hogy ez az

már benne a cukor

utolsó nyugodt pillanatunk a mai nap folyamán (meg nekem még ez a bejegyzéses rész), elbeszélgettünk – tervem szerint – a pultos-tulajdonos sráccal a világ dolgairól, mondtam neki, hogy majd írok a helyről és hogy majd nézzen fel ide (helló ). Említette, hogy van neten ilyen étterem értékelős oldal, ahol mindent csillagoznak össze-vissza ár-érték arány szerint, meg hogy mennyire bunkó a pincér és hogy mennyire sok a kroászán a pátémban (senkisetudjahogymitjelentez), ilyenek. Meg is beszéltük, hogy ezt egyikünk sem igazán szereti és biztosítottam arról, hogy nyugodjon meg, nem fogok semmilyen sznobságot belevinni a mesélésbe.

A napi célok és todo-k kitűzése megint kitűnően ment. Bár szerintem megint

safi

csak én csináltam, de mint mondtam: nem erőszak a disznótor. Azt vettem észre, hogy ekkora szintű ’szervezettségnél’ elkezdenek a taskok fogyni és egyre nehezebb összeszedni a fontos feladatokat (mert nem feltétlenül vannak, vagy valami nagyobb projekt részei, amit még nem fejtettem ki, úgyhogy azzal leszek el mondjuk holnap), amit jónak könyveltem el. Másik észrevétel, hogy egész könnyen mászok ki az ágyból fél 6kor… ellentétben a többiekkel, akik rendszeresen hatalmas vértáskákkal a szemük alatt kúsznak velem reggelizni, talán ez is az oka annak, hogy inkább a chillout a téma és nem bármi konstruktivitás – és ez nem baj. A világ 10 legjobb dolga között van az, hogy ha élvezed, amit eszel és amit iszol és hagyod, hogy a világ egy picit lehagyjon (vagy ez esetben beérjen).

Update: Holnap is megyek reggelizni, ha van kedved, gyere Te is! 8-ra megyek pontosan a Budafoki úton lévő szendvicsbárba, ami a BME K-épületével van szemben. Ki van írva, meg minden, szerintem nehéz elvéteni (8kor elvileg már nyitva vannak )

Living outside Mohill, Co Leitrim, the author John Mc Gahern was a loved and respected resident who lived his life quietly among the local people.
 
Dedicated to his memory the “High Ground” café is now open above the Gala convenience store on Main Street.
With quotations from John Mc Gahern’s works on the walls one can relax with or without a friend in the sunny space and enjoy a leisurely cappuccino or a sandwich.

Partaking of soup, Irish breakfast or a bagel one can drink up the atmosphere of  a small country town in the West of Ireland that nurtured such a genius, and wonder.

However, if you’ve been wondering where recessionwoman’s blog  has been,  I’ve been helping my sister Fidelma, who is the owner of this beautiful spot get it up and running.

So much for writing and blogging!

Tegnap, amikor a Marie Kristensen fele vettük utunkat, elsuhantunk a Bácsalmás szendvics pici, ám annál íncsiklandóbb szendvicseket felvonultató kirakata előtt. Ma betértünk és elreggeliztük a pénzünket – megint.

A tegnapi budget-nél kicsit kevesebből kijött:

- egy téliszalámis szendvics

- egy paprikás szalámis szendvics

- egy presszókávé

- egy capuccino

- és egy gyömbér, hogy leöblítsem az út és a szendvics porát

Az első észrevétel az, hogy ez is friss. Mondjuk alapvető követelmény, hogy ha szendvics’bár’-t nyitsz, akkor legyen minden friss és üde alapanyagokból. A hely amúgy nagyon pici, összesen talán 2-3 ember fér el kényelmesen, de legalább elég csak hátranyúlni a kávédért, amit a pultból a fiatal pultos (tulajdonos?) srác szolgál fel neked.

Szumma szummárum: ne szervezz ide érettségi bankettet, mert pici (viszont ők megszervezik neked ), reggelizésre viszont totálisan fun hely, ha a közelben laksz.

Holnap pedig a Pars kávézóba (boráros) megyek reggel, lehet csatlakozni: olyan 8 körülre gondoltam, hogy odaérek.

This weekend,  Mr C took me along with him while he got his hair cut. It’s not the normal sort of outing we go on together, you understand, but it just worked out that way.

I was sat in the barbers, marvelling at how different it is to a hairdresser. There is so little in the way of equipment and products. All a barber needs to get the job done is a razor, some scissors, a comb and some hair wax. Simplicity itself!

On the way back, we were discussing the differences between various hair-cutting establishments we had been in. Mr C said he had abandoned one after it had merged with a tattoo parlour. The queues were horrendous.

This reminded me of a tattoo place I used to see. It started out as a small little tattoo parlour, basically just a door and a blacked out window. You know the type of place I mean.

The owners must have bought out the place next door, as within the space of a few weeks, it closed and re-opened as a tattoo parlour/café. This seemed very odd to me. I can understand getting your hair and tattoos done at the same place, as the two are both fashion statements, and sort of fit together.

But a place serving food and drink in the same building as needles and ink? It doesn’t seem that hygenic to me. Also, what are the chances that you go in there for a cappucino and then decide on the off chance to get that tattoed on your arm as well.

The practice has never really been my idea of fun anyway, and I’m not sure that serving up a sandwich as a side order to scarring your body for life makes it any more appealing.

Yesterday I had to do some shopping in the city center. After I had done what needed to be done, I decided to treat myself to the best coffee in town. Cappucino Rotterdam, is definitely the place to be. They won the Ketelbinkie Koffieprijs 2009 for the best coffe in Rotterdam. (the Ketelbinkie prize is awarded to the establishment that serves the best coffee and has the best service, ambiance/atmosphere at the best prize/quality rate)

Not only do they serve delicious coffee, cappucino, espresso, ristretto, etc., they also have a wide variety of delicious pies and cakes.(try the cheesecake!)  The atmosphere is a city of Rotterdam worthy. It’s always busy, but with a large number of waiters (especially if you consider the releatively small  number of square meters) you don’t have to wait long to order. The atmosphere is both cosy and chic and with international allure; it’s easy to imagine yourself in another metropole than Rotterdam.

Cappucino is situated at the end of the Korte Hoogstraat, next to the Schielandhuis.

So I really did not look at my ticket well enough as the night flight from Zuhrich to New York turned out to be a morning departure.  So with a fourteen hour layover this traveler thought it was perhaps right to get a hotel room.  So after taking the tram shuttle to the gate and making it through passport control into the main airport he went to the hotel reservations desk and witht he intention of staying in downtown Zuhrich.

Then upon finding it was cheaper to stay at the airport Ibis he went over there with the free bus in order to save about forty swiss francs.

The woman at the desk who booked him into the hotel was nice but he thought that he still had enough time to take a train into Zuhrich and then cab it back from downtown but that was before he got to the hotel.  First he got reprimanded by the Somali shuttle van driver for climbing into the vehicle without permission but then met a  nice couple returning to the U.S on seperate flights.  He saw the train which he could have taken into town while leaving the airport and upon arriving at the hotel got his room but they refused to take or even exchange U.S money thought the bartender took euros in the lobby bar.

So after going up to my small but ample room and still wanting to go out I ventured to the Esso next door and hoped that I could buy a train ticket with my gas card which didn’t work there.  Then I decided to hoof it as far into town as I could get.  After passing the usual airport nothingness i began to get into the northern fringe of Zuhrich though by the time i made it to the Swissotel and begged the front deskman to do change money for me which when he finally did it seemed too late to take the train into downtown and so I walked looking at the quaint architecture and finally settling into a restaurant open late for a couple of kebabs.

Then after taking many I-phone pictures of the a train station, a tunnel, houses , and the Swiss I went back to the hotel and watched a bio on Prince Albert of Monaco followed by a circus where crazy horse drawn clown vehicles circled the ring.  I enjoyed very much switching channels between French, Italian, and German on Swiss television.  I also shaved and then went to sleep (the bed was quite comfortable and i felt very safe).

In the morning I received the wake up call brought my bag down checked out and then appeared for the overpirced breakfest buffet (but as everybody kept saying this was Switzerland). I then paid and caught the quite reliable shuttle van to the airport and and then there some great fun began.

The people at check in who I thought were airline employees were security so I guess accordingly I was perhaps a bit too jovial. They asked what I was doing in Switzerland and I said connecting flights from Dubai and they said where is my luggage and I said it was checked through and this they wrote down and replied with wasn’t it and then hey said it might be indicating that I had to receive the bag there and recheck it even thought the airline said it was checked through and the claim ticket attested to that nonetheless they said when I asked where it was to paraphrase perhaps lost and found.  They then asked for my hotel receipt from Dubai which I could not furnish but i did have plastic electronic door key from the Hotel Delman in the Emirate and upon producing that the supervisor said shouldn’t I have returned it to the front desk..Eventually this ordeal was over my passport got a sticker and I was onto flight check-in and I asked to locate my bag which was indeed checked through.

Afterwards I had a much needed cappucino and told the barista my ordeal and he said laugh it off as some people on a power trip. I then made it through security looked at the surrounding countryside through the large windows in the departure gate wing and eventually boarded the plane.

On the way back over to the US this tired flier had an entire back row to himself and watched the HBO movie version of “Grey Gardens” starring Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange as the two Edith Bouvier Beales and the soloist starring Jamie Foxx and Robert Downey Jr.

Going fowards a bit I then worked two day on the double decker bus and then Senator Edward Kennedey died. I got off the night before the last day of the wake and I drove up to the John F. Kennedy Presidential library at the the University of Massechussettes Boston campus on the back bay staying over night at a hotel in Pawtucket, Rhode Island on the way up.  I met a lot of great people got in and shook the hand of Jean kennedy Smith the last remaining JFK generation sibling (children of joseph and Rose Kennedy) and she said “hi i’m the sister) (of course Eunice had dided a few days prior).. I signed the registry I thought I should go as it was the passing of a whole U.S political dynasty and I recite Ted’s closing words to “the dream shall never die” speech everytime I pass Madison Square with the microphone on the Double Decker bus. I also shook the senator’s widow Victoria’s hand as she entered the building and of course saw the honor gaurd and the coffin.  My I-phone had died on the way up but to take pictures of the family at such an event might have been in bad taste anyway.

After attending the wake I drove over to Castle Island which this traveler had never remembered seeing before.

Sometime after this I saw three biggies with my groups on the tour bus starting with director  Oliver Stone on East forty ninth street in the Turtle Bay section of Manhattan where he was posted filming his sequel to “Wall Street” startring Michael Douglas (reprising his role as Gordon Gekko) and Shia LaBeouf.   There was a detour and the buses were forced to take third avenue from forty second to forty ninth thus bypassing the United Nations complex on first avenue and forty ninth street  between second and  third (the street Katherine Hepburn, Bette Davis,  Steven Sondheim, and Erfem Zimbalist Jr.  once lived upon).  Oliver Stone this erstwhile man with a  handheld microphone attached by chord to momma bus spotted the provocative social legislator standing right at the police barricade pointed him out to the tourists (who were oh so appreciative) and immediatley went into the voice of George Plimpton saying Oliver ! Oliver! Olive {for once he had been with the late sportswriter at the night club Life after GP had read from his Capote tome for his series “The Literary life” and after George asked if he could get a tour he asked the owner Roy Stillman if he wouldgive Gerge a tour and George and Roy started making small talk and Roy indicated that he had seen him here for a party for Oliver Stone and George had said “ah yes Oliver” and all these years later at a different time I was able to repeat this line]

Readers please sit back down now (even though this writer is in Florida in sight of the calcified alligator skull [[which upon further investigiation was found out to be a well studied and almost consumate replica]] and in the red, yellow, and brown Marriot courtyard lobby).   The next sighting was again witha double decker and it was perfectly set up.

We had left the South Street Seaport stop and headed past Schemerhorn Row (a former fish chandelry some of whose structures date back to circa 1807 but on the net I could only find a date firmly established for them starting in 1812) and coming up about to the Cafe Paris (circa 1873 and where Buffalo Bill, Annie Oakley, Mark Twain, Thomas Edison, and Teddy Roosevelt at one time or another had all once eaten and where they had thrown a big party the night of the opening of the establishment’s neighbor the Brooklyn Bridge) in the cobble stone area between many buildings once visited by a transported Spock and Captain James Kirk on the original Star Trek series was a film set.  Then within the mass of crew was aman in a suit.  Then this tour guide, this urban scout was able to differentiate and say there is a film set ahead the man in the suit is the celebrity look.  Getting up closer it was a done up Matt Damon (I had known he was around as another tourist on another bus had shown me a picture of him on a digital camera speaking after receving some award or citation from Mayor Bloomberg on the steps of City Hall).  I was able to say to the tourists ladies and gentleman Matt Damon and have him not look up.  He heard the intro of course went about finishing what he was doing and after a delay looked up at the bus waved and then walked onto his next piece of business.

Next on the Manhattan Comprehensive all day tour going past the San Remo on Central Park West on a beautiful sunny day and giving the list of famous residents of the Emory Roth Building Victor Emanuel style celebrity tower multi tiered birthday cake Bono from U2, Billy Squier, Steven Spielberg .. right on the name Steve Martin there he was the back of his head and of course with the information flowing and the look I knew it was him he turned around  with a big smile but didn’t wave and went back into the second of two entrances along the avenue.

At some point this blogger realized that he wanted to see Jude Law in Hamlet on Broadway.  So he walked over to the Broadhurst theater where it is playing until December 6, 2009 and all seats were $116.50.  I said “no seats would be at the tkts booth?” and the woman at the ticket window returned the  no “and probably not for the entire run”.  I winced at the cost and walked away.

Later I made jokes about it in front of the Standard and Poors ( or the lack of standards and now we’re poor) building coming by on the red double decker bus after saying” this is where they say over croissants and coffee in the morning … to bbb or not to bbb” ..”now you can hear Jude Law say that on Broadway for a hundred and sixteen fifty and I will say it as part of the price of your bus ticket”.  Then one day coming off my second downtown and landing in front of the tkts booth in Times Square across from our stop at forty seventh and seventh there it was on the board only one performance for the Thursday matinee Hamlet.  The tickets at tkts are no longer exclusively fifty percent off and this matinee was thirty percent off ($83) and with the service fee eighty seven. I jumped at the oppurtunity having read glowing review after glowing review.

And boy were those reviewers right Jude Law in Hamlet is a tour de force!  First of all his physical presence the way he is able to move his frame to extend for all the remonstrations, the introspection, and action in this Shakespeare play which is above all else about the whole deck of cards.

Sure we travel with him back to remember how many figures of speech come from this great work:” this mortal coil… neither a borrower or a lender be….to be or not to be…Alas poor Yorick I knew him well”.  Alas the staging is spartan but not so stark as to replace artifice  His star in the heavens is justified bravo!

Pas di rumah dan dicek tuh pake ternyata kira2 panjangnya  7 cm! udah gitu bentuknya ga kaya paku biasanya yang mulus2 warna silver. tapi itu paku kaya paku buat “santet”. Bentuknya item dan ga mulus. Seremnya tuh paku pas  mau tidur ditaro ama ardi  di atas meja deket kasur gitu. Eh pas bangun besok nya tuh paku udah nengger di tengah2 kita ! parah gw ngerinding. hahaha

If I said “Paris“, what will be your thinking?

The city of love? Eiffel Tower? Bonjour?  French Bread? Merci? Crepes? Fashion? Louis Vuitton?

Paris Morning View

Across the river

Joan of Arc

Yes yes yes..you are right! They are all SO “Paris”, not Paris Hilton, of course

So far, I could only say some opinions and feelings based on my trip there, which of course based on a “tourist” perspective.  However, hopefully this all are fair and helpful for you to start thinking about Paris!

Paris is a beautiful city, as well as a romantic one for sure! I do wish that someday I could go there with my beau, it will be perfect!

Lovely Autumn in Paris

Art Lovers' perfect place

Huge LV Store

Other than all the romantism, as “advertised”, Paris is also having 2 different kind of style. The modern one and the classy one. It’s definitely up to your style, which one do you like more. If you like to go shopping and having a great time in modern building, Paris has all of them, from the high end boutique store to the local flea market. If you prefer to enjoy Paris with its arts and culture, you are definitely not in the wrong place; those museums are all for real with reasonable price too!

Nutella Crepes

I love these pastries!

Homemade French Onion Soup

Fancy Cappucinno

The food in Paris is voila.. Nice and fancy! Even for a cup of cappuccino, you’ll fancy it! However, for other than Parisian (Western style) food, you have to go a little deeper/farther. They are not spread very well. But please do try their crepes and cappuccino; you’ll get a good one almost everywhere! For the pastry, I believe Parisian have those magical recipe to make them tastefully

I rely on this Metro system!

For the transportation in Paris, as long as you have a good basic of metro system, you should be fine. They have a strong, systematic, and well developed integrated system between the metro, train, and buses. Sometimes it can over-whelmed you with “too much choices”, but the good thing is you can always take some time to study the “grand” transportation mapping in the free booklet/ side road board/ and website that they have.

The bad thing for overall staying in Paris is when you are not able to speak some French. Other than they don’t want to speak English, not so many of them can actually speak/understand some English. It is true that when you say “Bonjour”, it’s opening the “world of Paris”, but then the next sentences that you are going to say still won’t make any sense to those who are not understand English.

Don’t forget to have the French in the right tone too! Nobody noticed me when I speak French without the “highly-twisted” accent. But they did understand me when I spoke with the “tone”

Paris 2** Hotel

Accommodation is a little problem for me. Be careful with the shown pictures from the hotel’s website. What you see is not what you would get. A lot of un-trusty visual /pictures that they have in the website, are just for the sake of promotion! Also, most of the price is not breakfast included, and there is an additional hotels charge for wifi internet connection, even though they said “wi-fi facility” as their advantage on the web.

I was disappointed several times with the picture fact that I saw from other’s personal review (compared with the official website offer), the shown fact had saved me from tremendous regret. So, do your homework (research) before you make the decision!

Cold n Warm at the same time

To be honest (and fair) with you.., sometimes I think Paris is “cold” in a way that the people treat/greet you on the road, on everyday’s basis. They seemed that they don’t want to bother anybody else other than themselves. However, I saw some LOVE too, all around Paris. The most memorable one is in the morning I took a walk to Eiffel Tower at early morning time,  “almost school time” where are the parents taking their children before they are off for work. Along the road, I found many interesting, funny, and happy ‘walking’ time to see them.

Well, I think that covers some basic ideas on survival tips staying in Paris. Oops, don’t forget to learn some basic “words” too! You definitely will need it! Even in a public area, the sign for basic necessity will be all in French. Here are some examples:

Hello: Bonjour

Sorry: Pardon

Excuse me: Excusez-moi

Thank you: Merci

Exit: Sortie

Entrance: entrée

Toilet: aha, just toilet! They’ll understand!

Bye: au revoir/ cao

Yes: Qui

No: Non

There u go, as handy as that

Here come the pictures of some interesting place of Paris for your reference:

Arc de Triomphe

Pic taken from Orly Airport

Other than Charles De Gaulle International airport, Paris also has two other airports that is mainly operated for the low-cost airplane carrier. They are the Orly Airport (there’s a bus shuttle provided from Paris city to the airport. Takes about half an hour), and Beauvais Airport, which take about an hour by shuttle bus to the ciy (Porte Maillot).  You can purchase the shuttle ticket online (http://www.aeroportbeauvais.com/bus.php?lang=eng)

Zondagsrust

Vandaag een zondagse rustige plek.

Espressoapparaat, zelf te bedienen, ook cappucino kan gemaakt worden.
Taartjes en koekjes staan op tafel.

Piquant zal af en toe om de hoek kijken, maar heeft een vrije dag.
Denk aan onze huisregel en corrigeer elkaar eens als die wordt overtreden.
Have fun!

I’m a coffee drinker. I love coffee, and I’ve been drinking it since mid-2007. Lots of people have debated what the best coffee is. Personally, I don’t have any preferences. I’ll drink something from Starbucks, or Dunkin Donuts. I do have, however, my favorite-tasting coffees. I think taste means a lot in coffee. You want to maintain the taste of the coffee or espresso, and, if you want, add a bit of extra taste (caramel, sugar, whipped cream). I like Caramel Lattes, Cafe Lattes, and espresso from Dunkin Donuts; Caramel Macchiatos, Cafe Lattes, Pumpkin Spice Latte, and Cinnamon Dolce Lattes from Starbucks; and a once-in-a-blue-moon 7/11 or gas station instant cappuccino. But, who is the BEST maker of coffee?

Dunkin Donuts does have good lattes, but I honestly think that their normal coffees with cream aren’t that good. I’ll have em with sugar if I don’t have enough money for a latte, but without sugar, I get sick to my stomach from the “taste.” I think I’ve been spoiled with Peet’s home brew. I usually like to make some good old fashioned Peet’s coffee with my old-fashioned 1983-grade coffee maker, and have it with milk heated up on the stove, and it would come out amazing for “plain” coffee. It’s probably just Peet’s way of “handling” the coffee bean. Like I said, I love their caramel lattes, but I haven’t had one in a while, since it’s been burning a hole in my wallet since I started getting my bus pass filled again for school. I do like my local Dunkin Donuts, because of good service, and a clean environment. I’ve never had a bad experience here.

As for Starbucks, I’ve already listed some of my favorite drinks there. Nothing iced. I dislike iced coffee. I once had an iced mocha, and got sick to my stomach. It’s all hot espresso drinks for me. Lattes and macchiatos. I like Starbucks for its wide variety of drinks, some of which I like, the others… not so much (either too sweet or too burnt-tasting). There have been, however, a few bad experiences at the ‘bucks. One time, while staying with a friend, I went to one of those drive-thru Starbucks that are in all of the Northern Illinois suburbs. I asked for a Venti Cafe Latte, and they gave it to me… with bad milk. Needless to say, it didn’t sit well, and now we don’t go that location anymore. There’s another one closer to her house, anyway. After this incident, my friend joked with me after the guy said “Enjoy” when handing me the coffee (“In other words, he basically meant ‘I just pissed in your coffee’!”).

Another time, I asked for a hot Cafe Mocha, just to see what it tasted like. The guy behind the counter was really nice, but I think he must have been stoned or something. Or just stupid. He was a nice guy, and I started up a small coversation with him, and just happened to tell him I was going to be having a nice steak dinner later that day. He then preceded to call it a “barbecue.” Several times. OMGWTFBBQ?!? I wasn’t having anybody over for it. It was just going to be me and two other people. I said “Dinner.” I never even mentioned the word “Barbecue.” Then, the guy hands me an iced mocha. Perfect.

Anyway, each coffee place has its pros and cons. With Dunkin, it has awesome lattes, but bad “plain” coffees. With Starbucks, it has a nice variety of good drinks, but you do get the occasional accidents (or incidents, I’ve watched every episode of “Busted on the Job”) in the kitchen, and the occasional idiot as a barista. I never get into the “Dunkin vs. Starbucks” discussions, because I think they’re pointless. My point is, as long as the coffee is good, I don’t care where it comes from. The place that sells it is not the most important thing. Sure, I might look less trendy when carrying a Dunkin Donuts cup, but at least it’s a good latte. And yes, this coffee may be a bit overpriced, but at least I get what I paid for.

stopped in to one of my favorite new cafe/antique stores up muswell hill, crocodile cafe. needed a cappucino to escape the rain.

a great little terrace, nice vibes and a fun staff. taking notes…

Mashed Potato. Makanan jenis ini memang termasuk kategori cemilan, meski berbahan dasar dari kentang yang kandungan karbohidratnya tinggi. Penyajiannya juga biasanya hanya sebagai brunch ato pas ngobrol, pas baca majalah, pas laper, pas nemu, pas banget ada, pas gratis, pas apapun.

Tapi jangan salah, soal rasa….hmmm…yummy…(gayanya chef farah quinn) apalagi kalo dimakannya sore-sore, fresh from the oven, aroma harum keju & kentang panggang yang menyebar ke setiap ruang udara, diatasnya pakein saus dikit biar pedes-pedes gimanaaa gitu, terus duduk di teras sambil baca or do something else, minumnya .. cappucino hot or cold (its up to you..) plus..ujan rintik-rintik…hmm……
wadaw!! jadi laper beneran, come on wake up!! okei okei…ehm, gini ceritanya…

Kemarin sore, aku penasaran dengan obrolan kecil di mesjid, ba’da dhuhur, lagi ramadhan..teman-teman ngomongin beberapa makanan yang delicious dan topik terakhir adalah mashed potato, heum, harusnya kalo begitu doang si aku bisa buat, begitu kataku dalam hati.
Hari itu, setelah mengalami kejadian buruk di jalan, yaitu kemacetan yang parah dan pake angkot, akhirnya aku berhasil dengan sukses sampe ke rumah. Sholat magrib dan kemudian…. aku ke dapur.
Kebetulan mamaku punya sisa kentang beberapa buah, keju, mayonaise, bawang bombay, wortel dan paprika hijau. AHA!!! lengkap lah sudah bahan dasar mashed potato. Dengan pengetahuan minimal, tekad kuat dan rasa lapar yang menggebu, dengan sabar aku menunggu rebusan kentang sampai matang dan empuk.

Sambil menunggu, bawang bombay, wortel dan paprika hijau kupotong dadu, semuanya diimbangi dengan banyaknya kentang, so, ukuran dan takaran hanya berdasar dari kira-kira kita.

Kentang rebus suah matang kemudian ku kupas kulitnya dan kucabik-cabik isinya, hehe… sampe halus, mulus, kuning langsat dan sexy (loh?). Abis itu, ku aduk dengan kentang tadi dengan mayonaise, garam, merica (secukupnya) dan campurkan potongan dadu sayuran tadi, diaduk rata semua.

Ambil adonan secukupnya untuk lapisan pertama, lapisi atasnya dengan mayonaise lalu taburkan keju (cheese melt, oh god .. this is my fav part), tutup lagi dengan adonan sisa, kembali atasnya di lapisi mayonaise dan taburkan lagi keju.

Then, siapkan oven panas, panggang semuanya dan tunggu 10 menit. oh iya, sambil nunggu, mending kita buat minumannya, whatever deh, ga harus cappucino, yang penting sejenis kopi susu panas enak, wkwkwkwkk.

Yah begitulah kondisi malam itu, sepuluh menit penantianku tak sia-sia. Setelahnya aku bisa makan my great yummy n delicious of cheese melt on mashed potato sambil nonton tivi, minum hot cappucino, hhmm…pokonya………………hhmm…….sumpah, malem itu berasa indaaaaaahhh banget deh. hehe….mau?
