Yes, it's true!! Fluffy, rich, and decadent in less than 5 minutes – from The Sweetest Vegan.
Blend 4 ripe avocados, 1 cup agave syrup, 1 cup cocoa powder, 1/2 tsp instant coffee, and 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk in a food processor.
This weekend we're celebrating my roommate's birthday. But, we're an allergen-sensitive duo. Between the two of us, we need food that is gluten, dairy, egg, cruelty (yes, I'm allergic to cruelty), soy, and peanut-free. At the same time, as two first-year grad students in a new town, I want to give my roommate a taste of her native Nova Scotia for her birthday away from home.
So here goes!
Allergen-friendly Blueberry Grunt:
For this stove-top dessert, the hardest part is finding a soy-free all purpose gluten-free flour, but thanks to the careful eye of my mother, we found some! Thanks Mom!
After that, it's pretty much smooth sailing. Heat 4 cups of fresh or frozen blueberries in a heavy-bottomed or cast iron pot with 1 cup water (less if frozen fruit) and bring to a boil. Stir in 1 cup sugar (or 1/2 cup agave syrup) and the juice from one lemon. Let simmer 15-20 mins until the blueberries are cooked down and ooey gooey good.
Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, stir together 1.5 cups flour, the zest of the lemon, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and 2 tsp baking powder. With a fork, mix in 3/4 cups unsweetened coconut or almond milk. Then plop the dumplings into the skillet full of blueberry sauce.
Cover with a tight lid and simmer over medium heat 10-15 mins until the dumplings are puffy and test done with a toothpick. Serve hot in a bowl with cold almond yogurt or ice cream.
Happy birthday to my Canadian co-denizen!!
Here's what I had:
Here's what I made:
Here's what I did:
I sliced the potatoes thin, coated them with oil and some Spike's Veg Magic and baked them at 425F for 15-20 mins. Wanted to get the taters done first so I could snack on them while cooking the rest!
While the potatoes cooked, I scooped out the middle of the zucchinis and mashed up the insides with 2-3 Tbsp of nutritional yeast and some Kosher salt. I sauteed 2 small red onions and a clove of garlic in some coconut oil and then added the limas. I put a lid on the pot and left them alone until the lima beans were bright green and tender (about 3-4 mins). Once the limas were tender, I added the cheesy squash and the corn. I let that get happy for another 2-3 mins before tearing up some spinach and letting it wilt in. The zucchini and corn were both sweeter than I was feeling for dinner, so I had to taste and adjust the seasonings a few times.
Meanwhile, I gave the round zucchinis a massage in some evoo, Kosher salt, and black pepper. I reduced the heat on the oven to 375F (the potatoes were long-since done and already being snacked on).
I baked the zucchini for about 15 mins, or until just short of tender. Then, I stuffed the zucchini halves and baked them for another 5-7 mins, or until the squash were tender and juicy (but not at all mushy).
At the end, I layered the leftover potatoes in a casserole dish and topped them with the juicy leftover succotash.
What would you have made with these ingredients? Do you prefer to plan out your meals or just jump in the kitchen and see what happens? Does your cooking style change from season to season like mine?
I don't make that many lasagnas. I don't know why. They're the perfect way to eat GF pasta (which can often turn out less than stellar). I'm not sure if it's that they intimidated me, or if I thought they were too much work. But! Nevertheless with my success with this recipe, I've got a new regular dish to add to my rotation, and I've found my lasagna mojo! I made this lasagna using a creamy white wine tomato basil sauce that uses ground roasted cashews to replace the cream, and it came out absolutely fantastic! Because I haven't had much time these day to head to the market, I've had to focus my cooking efforts to include convenience without sacrificing quality. So for this recipe, I used both fresh and frozen ingredients, allowing me to maximize flavor, health, and convenience. A homemade sauce, fresh herbs, and high-quality store-bought products made this dish healthy and easy. This recipe is great for a busy weeknight but still satisfying and impressive enough to share with friends on the weekend. A new favorite!

What's Tamale Pie? I'd never heard of it until I saw this video recipe on YouTube. I instantly saw that recipe full of ground beef and white flour and thought "Yeah, I can make that GF vegan." It turns out that Tamale Pie is one of the most delicious Tex-Mex casseroles I've had in a looong time. It's a layered casserole of spicy veggies and homemade cornbread that is very freezer-friendly. I've been keeping pretty darn busy over the past few months, so I've had to maximize my time by taking advantage of my stock of pre-chopped frozen veggies. I could also see this casserole lending itself easily to using up leftover roasted veggies. Of course, I'd prefer fresh veg, but hey, if using frozen veggies means I get a hot homemade meal in the middle of the work week, then I'm all about it!
Vegan Tamale Pie:
Ingredients: (makes a gigantic casserole for a week+ of eats – feel free to cut the portions down!)
I've had a pretty busy couple of weeks, which for me usually means two things: 1) I don't have time to cook and 2) as a result, I spend way too much money on quick eats (and believe me, gluten free, vegetarian fast food is pricey!). Now that things have calmed down a bit and I've got some time off to recover, I'm stuck with the carry-over money shortage. And so, this fried rice was really a "what do I have?" version of what it could be (produce-wise). In desperate need of a fresh veggie infusion, I coughed up a couple bucks on a pound of green beans and some zucchinis. And holy crap does this simple recipe deliver! I love it when new recipes go as planned 🙂
Granted, this veggie fried rice will be soooo much better come Spring when the spring onions, baby corn, asparagus, and carrots come back. But for now, adding curry paste to a more traditional fried rice, gives this recipe a nice spicy Thai kick that was exactly what I needed. I foresee the beginnings of a long love-affair between myself and homemade fried rices!
Simple Curried Veggie Fried Rice:
Ingredients: (as shown in photo; add/replace veggies by availability)
I don't know how ramen is treated in other countries, but here in America, ramen noodles are strictly associated with college students and last resort, cheap, quick-fix meals.
As a college student who more often than not needs both cheap and quick food, I love me some ramen. But, as a gluten-intolerant college student, my ramen noodles are considerably more expenisve than the 19-cents a pack variety. $2 doesn't sound like a lot for a meal, but it is a tough sell for a pack of ramen. The plus side? My ramen noodles are whole grain, sodium free, and organic.
So, where's the pride? Why does ramen have to be so bad for you and the "he thinks we're friends, but we're really not" resident in the American kitchen? It doesn't. And at $2/pack, I'm out to get my money's worth by adding just an extra 10 minutes to the rip open and boil routine. I've used only pantry staples to jazz up my ramen to keep it convenient, but you could make it really fancy with some fresh scallions and edamame. Believe me, it's worth the extra few minutes!

Our first baby (Peanut) arrived in Helsinki, Finland, little brother (Tex) joined us in Dallas, TX, we spent a few months in Boston and are now in San Diego, where little sister (Bibi) was born. We are working out all the usual things parents have to -- while balancing between a European view and the US view to health care, baby customs, gear, weather, etc!

Tex enters his third trimester
We marked the beginning of Tex's third trimester with a test-filled visit to the doctor. Auntie Em happened to be in town and got to experience it all first-hand....
My appointment included the one-hour (non-fasting) glucose screen test for gestational diabetes which is given to all pregnant women here. I had eaten an small omlet with some cheese and ham in the morning, and tried to avoid all sources of sugars to make sure the test result was as clean as possible.
We arrived on time, but sat around waiting for 30 mins until I re-checked with reception. In a rather unfriendly way, the receptionist said she'd check with my nurse to see what was happening. 15 mins later, she called me back to drink the 50 grams of sugary, room-temp glucose. I had 5 mins to get it down and then we ran through the other usual check-up measurements after which I was shown to a room to wait for the doctor. His visit was also quick once he arrived - a check of the heartbeat and measuring my abdomen.
From now on out, we'll be back every two weeks.
I still had 30 mins before it was time to draw blood for the glucose screen so we took a fast driving tour of downtown Grapevine. At the appointed time, I went back to the lab so blood could be taken for the glucose screen, an anemia test and and Rh antibody test. Results later though I get the Rhogam injection pretty much regardless of the Rh antibody test outcome.
Back in Helsinki with Peanut, it was nice that our neuvola was never very busy. We would arrive and go directly to the door of our mid-wife and usually had no wait. Sometimes she was wrapping up a previous appointment, but then it would be 5 mins at the max. She handled all the measuring, most tests and appointments herself. The anemia test consisted of a pin-prick to my finger and she had the results immediately from a gadget on her desk. I did have to go to the lab downstairs for Rh antibody tests though never was given an injection since the results were always negative. There was never any mention of a glucose screen test - I don't know if they profile the mothers and test only those who seem high risk or if some sort of diagnosis can be made otherwise.

I also liked the neuvola very much. the funniest thing happened when our nurse/midwife (however you call them...) came to visit us after birth. She saw the painting of my childhoos home on the wall and sked what's that? I said it's my home. she said that we've must have had the same childhood home then. She was the daughter of the previous countu (or sherif - how ever call them :)).

What a small world!!! It makes me think of a show that was on one of the news channels (ABC's Primetime) here recently about proving the theory of six degrees of separation. They hooked several people up in NYC that way with just 5 or less other links.
You can try it online, too, at an experiment run by Columbia University:-- http://smallworld.columbia.edu/

Home / Dining Tables / Transitional Dining Table / 59 Most Magic Folding Dining Table Best Dining Room Chairs Small Dining Table For 2 Rectangle Dining Table Modern Dining Room Table Creativity
Berangaria Camillei Dining Tables May 30, 2018 21:30:03
Measurement plays a crucial role before choosing the size and shape of the dining table for your dining room. Dimensions and shape of the room is the foremost thing in deciding the right table size and shape. You want to buy dining room furniture that really fits well in your dining room area. Oftentimes ignoring this basic criterion can lead to buying the wrong furniture pieces for your room. Therefore it's vital to measure the dimensions of your room beforehand.
Keep in mind that the table should be in proportion to your dining room size. Since you are the host it is important for you guests to sit comfortably and have free space to walk around. Try to leave a maximum of 42 to 48 inches and a minimum of 36 inches between your tables and the walls. About two feet of eating space is required for a person to eat comfortably. When sitting at the table try to have at least 30 to 36 inches from your knee to the back of the chair.

The Chromebook, a controversy since its creation. Eventually, some months ago, I decided to buy 2 of 'em, the Samsung Series 3 and the Acer C7.
Both are really cool devices. However, I like the Samsung better, for its longer battery life, the better keyboard, the punchy sound and the low weight. On the dark side, the Samsung PSU-brick sucks, yes, it really does. It is a big bulky thing, which you do not want to carry about on journeys.
Here, the Acer scores. It comes with a much smaller light weight PSU.
I figure, this is what will happen, I will use the Samsung for daily business, whilst the Acer will be used on the road. Why not, with having all the data in the cloud.
Data in the cloud, well, not entirely, honestly said. Both Chromebooks are "hacked" (Crouton/Chrubuntu) for running regular linux (I know, the scary screen is really annoying). For playing my music, I need mixxx running on linux, enabling DJing with a MIDI controller.
A lucky coincidence happened in that the one with the better keyboard (Samsung) is provided with an 8GB SSD only, whilst the Chromebook with the better PSU is supplied with a 320GB HDD. Hence, the Samsung will be my daily doing things thing, while the Acer will join me on trips enabling me to DJ with mixxx and a large media storage.
Here you have it again, in IT, you have to define your problem first before buying hardware. Alternatively, you could adopt your application to the hardware you own, which is a little bit reverse engineered in my mind.

text: Guy Hands' private equity firm Terra Firma is making slow progress on refinancing a complex €5.1bn (£4.4bn) securitised loan in its German property group Deutsche Annington, as details of the bondholders' voting rights emerge, City A.M. learned yesterday. Terra Firma has started the process of refinancing the debt despite it maturing only in 18 months. The loan documentation requires an unusual level of approval, up to 100 per cent, rather than the 75 per cent more often accepted, which is slowing down the process. Terra Firma is talking to bondholders and has hired Blackstone to advise it. It has owned Deutsche Annington for 11 years.

Is 'reading' one of you hobbies?
No, reading is not one of hobbies (my hobby is music - sing or guitar or piano or organ, btw), but I do consider myself as a person who would at least read a book every year. When I say 'read', it means I do complete the whole book. 'Book' doesn't include magazine (especially those 8 gua magazine like TVB magazine), newspaper (newspaper is important, you should read it everyday), comic (I just can't figure how should the pictures flow, is it from left to right, bottom to top?) and textbook (it doesn't bring me any pleasure by reading it).
The most recent book I read is Harry Potter, The Deathly Hallow. Ya, I know, it's kinda children story book. But hei, it's still dictionary-thick and full of chim (Singlish: difficult) English words! It's a great effort for Chee-pai (Chinese educated) person e.g me to complete the whole book, and I read that in July, during my Taiwan trip. Phew, I managed to complete Harry Potter 7 within 1 week, with much helps from Ms.Da.
Since July until today, October 16, I haven't pick up any decent book. Gosh, cannot like this lar cannot like this lar! Old Bean (who likes to read a lot, I mean, really A LOT!) recommended me few books like Street Lawyer, but the first 10 pages put me into nice slumber. Leng Leng gave me a book Secret (not Jay Chow's Secret, but it was one of the best selling book in August) and I gave up after reading the first page, sorry ar Leng Leng!
Now it's the period where exams and assignments are due, thus I don't have much time for leisure reading now. However, after this busy period, I would like to start from this book : 'I'm not sick, just a bit unwell', written by Yvonne Foong. Quoted from her blog, this book is about a story of true blue Malaysian.
I can't find this book in Amazon or Barnes and Noble at the moment, but I've ordered from Yvonne and I'll be expecting the book be delivered to my house in December, which is just after my final exams period. Sui!
If you are thinking of picking up a book now, please select this book 'I'm not sick, just a bit unwell'. Although I haven't read it yet, I would think that this book worth your time.
The book is currently on sale at the following bookstores, all over Malaysia and Brunei.
I know most people in Singapore don't read during their MRT trip, as I usually see them sleeping, playing handphone with loud sound on, day dreaming, playing mp3 loudly... or worse, talking with the air - I'm not joking, this usually happen in the late night train service.
Instead of wasting 10-40mins MRT trip doing nothing beneficial, why not read a book? Above book is a good book to start with.
Jia you!

Mostly irrelevant ramblings about music, comic books and other aspects of pop culture with the occasional political rant from an anti-statist perspective.
What I wouldn't give to see this performance. Honestly I couldn't really care about most of the other bands but I would LOVE to see the Descendents! I wonder if they'll do "She's Got Everything"?
but Bad Religion is on the lineup too!!
True and while I wouldn't mind seeing them, I'm not sure that I'd want to brave a festival crowd to do it.

Video Interview: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on NewsHour With Jim Lehrer
Posted by Sarah
Yesterday, the Secretary also found some time to do an interview with Margaret Warner of the NewsHour With Jim Lehrer on PBS. I actually caught some of it on TV last night unexpectedly, it was on (or at least being replayed) during Obama's spot on Letterman. So that being said, I hope all you Hillfans turned over to PBS and caught the interview.

Giving up Control
Wednesday, July 13, 2005
Maybe it would be good to explore what happens when we surrender to something other than God's love and guidance.
Take a look around you. Read the headlines of any newspaper, turn on any news cast (you can always find news), or watch some of the more popular television programs. What do you read, hear, and see?
Recently, we've learned about a serial killer who was a church member and now calmly describes the murders he's committed. We've also been witness to a sexual predator who allegedly killed three adults in order to kidnap two children for his own twisted pleasure. Hundreds of thousands watched planes fly into the World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania killing hundreds of people and forever changing the landscape of our hearts. London is now dealing with the same thing. CEOs of large corporations allegedly diverted funds for their own personal use, robbing employees of their future retirement. Highly rated television programs promote promiscuity, adultery, homosexuality, lying, cheating, and just about anything other than Godly principals and beliefs. The entertainment industry even recognizes they can target more people with cartoon-like programs promoting the same things.
Movies, video games, and popular music sometimes go even further.
And we wonder, what's the world coming to?
Several books in the Bible are prophetic but Timothy is eerily so. Consider Paul's guidance to the one whom he considered his "son."
"But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power …"
Paul uses nineteen appalling characteristics in the first five verses. He then goes on to say in verses 6-8: "For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses, always learning but never able to come to the knowledge of truth, … men who oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, rejected in regard to the faith. And then, in verse 13: But evil men and imposters will proceed from bad to worse; deceiving and being deceived." The New American Standard Bible, 2 Timothy 3:1-8
Those verses are chillingly close to describing our world. Moreover, if we look even further into words written almost two thousand years ago, we find something even more frightening.
In the first chapter of Romans, Paul writes of the sinfulness of humankind and in the last half, he specifically addresses unbelief and its consequences. The Message, Romans 1:21-32, puts it in the cold, harsh reality of today:
"What happened was this: People knew God perfectly well, but when they didn't treat him like God, refusing to worship him, they trivialized themselves into silliness and confusion so that there was neither sense nor direction left in their lives. They pretended to know it all, but were illiterate regarding life. They traded the glory of God who holds the whole world in his hands for cheap figurines you can buy at any roadside stand.
"So God said, in effect, "If that's what you want, that's what you get." It wasn't long before they were living in a pigpen, smeared with filth, filthy inside and out. And all this because they traded the true God for a fake god, and worshiped the god they made instead of the God who made them—the God we bless, the God who blesses us. Oh, yes!
"Worse followed. Refusing to know God, they soon didn't know how to be human either—women didn't know how to be women, men didn't know how to be men. Sexually confused, they abused and defiled one another, women with women, men with men,—all lust, no love. And then they paid for it, oh, how they paid for it—emptied of God and love, godless and loveless wretches.
"Since they didn't bother to acknowledge God, God quit bothering them and let them run loose. And then all hell broke loose: rampant evil, grabbing and grasping, vicious backstabbing. They made life hell on earth with their envy, wanton killing, bickering, and cheating. Look at them: mean-spirited, venomous, fork-tongued God-bashers. Bullies, swaggerers, insufferable windbags! They keep inventing new ways of wrecking lives. They ditch their parents when they get in the way. Stupid, slimy, cruel, cold-blooded. And it's not as if they don't know better. They know perfectly well they're spitting in God's face. And they don't care—worse, they hand out prizes to those who do the worst things best!"
These are perfect examples of people who are trying to control their lives. Sounds terrifying, doesn't it? Sounds like it could come from today's headlines or top news alerts the media likes to use. More importantly, it should illustrate the disturbing examples of people living without God.
But, life doesn't have to be that way. The good news is that God can take a surrendered life and create something of beauty. More about that next time.
I pray you will come back and discover how the Creator of the universe wants a personal relationship with you. God changes hearts, spirits, and lives.
Blessings, Francine

How cool!
Currently I'm downloading The Gift of the Magi by O. Henry. It's about 13 minutes long. There's also a few poems that I think I'll download and add them to my playlists... like 'Twas the Night Before Christmas for my Christmas playlist. There's recordings in other languages as well, like French, Italian, Germany, and Finnish.
The list of solo projects to come is exciting... Sun Tzu's Art of War (especially for anyone who watches Smallville or reads Superman comic books), many by Jane Austen (hopefully with a British accent), and one of my very favorites, The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams.

He was not thinking straight. If only he could rest and then he could think more clearly.
"A-Alba. I-I didn't mean.... Uh...."
He was really worried now and he put his hands onto both of her shoulders. He didn't want to die. Of course, he didn't want to. No one wants to die. He had to say no.
"N-No, I don't want to die. I don't want to leave you, Alba. Please don't cry...." He sounded desperate as he was talking to her and he was trying to make things right again. He wasn't sure if it was working or not.

Garden Planted
I put in 8 tomato plants (one in the back flower bed) and 2 zucchini. I put some egg shells around the zucchini because I have dogs and can't use snail bait. This is Mandy, my 13 year old boxer/lab who had to check out the egg shells and sample them. Between the dog and the snails, I'm doubtful I will get any zucchini, but I can hope. I will either get too many or not enough. Can never get just the right amount of zucchini.

Did you know that snails like beer? If you bury a plastic cup with about an inch of the cup above the soil, put a couple of inches of beer in there, the snails crawl in there and drown. I don't think the dog would like the beer and if he did drink some, it probably wouldn't hurt him.

There is nothing like the rewards from the garden. I hope they do great!

Treasure rest: Relaxed winter helping Souza
ST. PETERSBURG -- Getting ready for the next season is one thing. Healing from the previous season is another. Steven Souza Jr. is pleased that he's no longer having to do both.
After an injury-plagued 2016 campaign, Souza had hip surgery. The offseason that followed dealt with healing from that surgery first, then prepping for '17.
ST. PETERSBURG -- Getting ready for the next season is one thing. Healing from the previous season is another. Steven Souza Jr. is pleased that he's no longer having to do both.
After an injury-plagued 2016 campaign, Souza had hip surgery. The offseason that followed dealt with healing from that surgery first, then prepping for '17.
"Last year was a really stressful offseason, having to get up at 5 in the morning, sit in traffic for an hour, drive to town, rehab, help my pregnant wife, or take care of my kid," Souza said. "So I'm just super thankful for this offseason."
In addition to the anxiety of recovering from surgery, Souza had to deal with performance. He'd been a Triple-A superstar in the Nationals' farm system, but his performance in the Major Leagues had only shown glimpses of what had been forecast for him.
"The 2016 season wasn't the one I'd like to hang my hat on," Souza said. "But I think every year I've tried to get better, and I'm going to keep trying to do that until I stop playing. There was a little uncertainty going into last season. But this offseason has been kind of a different animal."
Video: BAL@TB: Souza Jr. speaks on his success during '17
Souza showed a lot of improvement in 2017. The power-hitting right fielder hit .239 with 30 home runs and 78 RBIs, but he wants more.
"How do I make it better?" Souza said. "How do I take that next step forward? I don't know that that mindset has changed a lot, just trying not to be guaranteed anything. I just treat it like I'm coming in, I'm not letting anybody take anything. I'm going to go get it."
Souza seemed to run out of gas late last season, hitting .183 in August and .152 in September/October.
"I fell off the table a little bit in September, and I think I hit a roadblock," Souza said. "That's sort of been my motivation this offseason. How do I not let that happen again this year? How do I finish strong, where I'm not tired when I get to September?
"The hip surgery [after the 2016 season] kept me from doing any running and I didn't get to do any lifts. But I need to be more disciplined with my conditioning during the season. Because when you get to the end, if you slacked in May, June and July, you're going to pay for it in September. I just have to be more disciplined. Arrive to the park every day with a fresh mindset to the very end. It's going to be a lot of fun. It's going to be a lot of work."
Video: OAK@TB: Souza belts a 453-foot home run vs. the A's
Souza showed improvement in 2017 and is trending in the right direction.
According to MLB.com's Statcast™ data, Souza improved his plate discipline, which could be seen in several categories. His walk percentage went from 6.6 percent to 13.6, which ranked second on the Rays behind Brad Miller, and his strikeout percentage dropped from 34 percent to 29. He also enjoyed a drop in his chase rate (swings at out-of-zone pitches) from 27.5 percent to 22 to lead the team.
Souza is a faster runner and better outfielder than people might think. His Sprint Speed of 28.3 feet per second ranked better than the Major League average (27.0 ft/sec), placing him among the likes of Javier Baez, Xander Bogaerts and Didi Gregorius.

Finally, on defense, Souza had plus-9 Outs Above Average, Statcast™'s range-based defensive metric. That tied him for 11th in baseball. Teammate Kevin Kiermaier ranked sixth, at plus-12.
So Rays fans, take heart; Souza's best is yet to come.
Bill Chastain has covered the Rays for MLB.com since 2005.

It's hard and something that you really never get over. The worst part was when my sister got married. I was a bridesmaid and I had to walk past this table and it had a bunch of photos of my dad on it. It was kind of like a shrine. Why'd they have to put all those pictures there on a table that I had to walk by before I had to come out as a bridesmaid in the wedding? I wasn't prepared for it at all. I started crying as soon as I saw it and could not stop no matter how hard I tried to compose myself. My grandfather (my dad's father) took my dad's place in walking my sister down the aisle. I cried the whole entire wedding because it saddened me to think that my dad couldn't be there to walk her down the aisle and then also he would never be able to walk me down the aisle someday either. People must have thought I was a wackjob crying like that. Especially since they might not have known the real reason why I was so sad. It's embarrassing to cry in front of a bunch of family and people that you don't know for over an hour straight! Let me just tell you! Anyway, I know what it's like and if you ever want anyone to talk to about anything, feel free to message me.
Then he told me how he had found out that his mom had died and I told him the story about how I found out. You guys will trip out on this one...
I had a friend staying over and my sister and mom kept calling me. I finally woke up to the phone ringing over and over and they said that my dad was "actively dying" so hurry up if I wanted to say goodbye. I forget what "actively dying" exactly means. We had my dad staying at home under hospice care because he didn't want to be in the hospital when he died. "Actively dying" was the term that the hospice nurse used. So anyway, my friend drove my car over there because I was crying and would have been a danger on the road. I told her to drive fast... like Turbo style... Mario Andretti... Step on it! Ya know? When we got to my neighborhood, there was a construction company called Pac West Construction working on the cable. I guess we had driven too fast through the neighborhood so when I got there, they came to my house and told me off. I was crying and I told them that my dad was dying. I was nice at first but they proceeded to argue with me. Finally I told them again, "Listen, my dad is in there dying! I don't have time for this shit or else I won't be able to say goodbye to him!". I ran inside and slammed the door. When I finally got there, he was already dead. Apparently my excuse wasn't good enough for those construction workers because they called the cable company to complain again. We got a phone call from the cable company and they were pissed off about my friend's erratic driving. My sister answered the phone and she explained the situation. And, not to mention, I wasn't even the one driving the car and my friend had dropped me off and left so why were they harrassing us? I don't get it! I guess Cox Cable didn't believe that my father had just died either because guess what the cable company did.... They called the cops. So we hear a knock at the door and there was a police officer at the front door. I was like WTF! Would you like to come in and see the dead body? Come on! Leave us the fuck alone! My father just died ok???? The cop that showed up was very embarrassed and hopefully he gave that cable company a piece of his mind. I mean how fucking rude is that? I told them my dad was dying, what did they think I was lying and faking a bunch of tears? If that was the case, then I would have deserved an Oscar. Give me a break! Lame! Pac West Construction, fuck you and your rude, insensitive construction workers!
Wow! I feel better now that I got that off of my chest!
My mom chuckled later about the whole incident and made a comment like, "Bobbi, you are always bringing the drama! Even on the day your dad has died. It must be that Fire sign!". I think, at that moment, my mom finally understood the way things are for me sometimes. I don't know what it is about me, but I have always had people in my life go out of their way to fuck with me. In all fairness though, I've had a ton of people go out of their way to do super nice things for me too. So I guess it all evens out in the end.
When I was growing up, my mom couldn't help but wonder if I was doing something to cause it. I think after this situation, she understood things a little better.
Bobbi B.

I was homesick leaving Positano. It seemed strange leaving Ron and Becky and heading back to Scalea instead of to Talent. I listened to music on my ITouch on the train, ignored the people around me and wallowed just a bit. All was quiet on my way from the station because it was mid-afternoon. And I knew that I really needed to make contacts after dropping my suitcase. I couldn't mope in my apartment.
As I was hanging out some wash, here came Miss Cranky. My approval rating went up even though she needed to dodge the water from my dripping bath towels (I'm not good at hand wringing). So as I walked by her in the Piazza on the way to the Internet, she was voluble (although, as usual, I couldn't understand her) and smiling. I told her I was on my way to call my husband and she waved me on.
Rose Alba was happy to see me. When I told her about the church festival (more later) in Positano, she wanted to see photos.
As I was working on the internet I heard, "Lynda, Lynda," and Giuseppe, the landlord's son and his cousin (uncle?), my neighbor ran up to me, saw that I was on Facebook and insisted I search for them. They wanted me to friend them so that we can chat this afternoon. So they pinned me down to a time, waved "Ciao", and ran off. At least three more times during the evening I heard the young voice, "Ciao, Lynda", as he waved to me from different spots in town. At one point he asked me if I walked up and down the stairs. (Duh!) He was obviously drawing attention to his friends that he knew an American lady who lived in his mother's apartment.
On my way back up the stairs from the Internet I greeted Antonio and stopped to talk with Teresita.
She is such a delight to me.* She's a combination of Mom and Leelah. She looks like Mom to me. But she's a porch gardener. She is always sitting with her cane; digging, repotting, watering or just enjoying. One day (with her cane propped against the wall, she was dragging boards from a stack. When I offered to help she waved me off impatiently. She will let me carry her water buckets if Antonio isn't around, though.
Anyway, yesterday she was sitting on her porch by her front door gazing at a small coleus. She told me that it was a begonia in Italy and that she had raised it (I think) from a small cutting. She was transfixed and fully enjoying the fruits of her labor.
Lavinia is often late to the Passeggio when she tells me a certain time. I had given up on her last night.
Both of her sisters have left town for the winter and I didn't know if she would come by herself or if she expected me. On my third pass, though, I saw her approaching our bench. There was a couple sitting on it but she scooted them over and made room for me. Once more we went through the introductions. The woman was incredulous that I was traveling alone and had a husband. She told me that my husband would have a companion when I returned home. I told her, "No, we've been married 50 years already, I don't think so." She still thought I was crazy.
Soon our unidentified friend came to sit with us. Two other regulars approached to greet us; expressing amazement that I was still here (or had returned, I couldn't tell). Lavinia told me to be sure to come back tonight and I walked her halfway home.
This morning I started to the market for some of the wonderful produce.
Mariucha saw me passing by and invited me in for coffee. She showed me her garbanzos cooking on the stove. I think she is expecting her grown children. The pot was huge. She talked to me for 20 minutes and from everything she said I learned only the following: Her son owns her house; her pension is only 500 Euro per month; she makes all of her Christmas presents because she can't afford to buy presents on her income; her husband is dead so she is dedicated to her children. And she had surgery on her hip or her butt about a year and a half ago and it still hurts a little sometimes when she sits down.
I went to the market, stopped by the store for whole-wheat pasta and then ran into Tonino on the way through the Pedonale. He's always good for a smile and a handshake.
Mariucha was walking down as I returned from the market and gave her a bit of a chocolate bar I had just bought.
My friend from Annapolis wants to share her favorite restaurant so we are heading out in her crazy car today sometime.
My sauce is on the stove. The water's hot for my makeshift shower. Life is good and God is in his Heaven.
I'm going to enjoy my last week here in Scalea.
Later *I am sad again this afternoon for my friend Teresita. I have known that her daughter died and that she is tremendously sad. One day when I asked her how she was, she began crying. Today when I sat with her she began telling me that she wants to die and that she asks "El Signore" why she can't go now. I told her that I pray for her and would be still praying for her when I go home. Also, told her I believe that God is cradling her in his arms and holding her here for a reason. She cried intermittently but finally pulled her rosary from her pocket. She had a smaller one and handed it to me. I admired them both and gave them back. She wanted me to keep the smaller one.
She wants me to pray for her.
I do, and I cry for her.

My Art Guru Alex Diaz gave an amazing surprise yesterday by inviting me to the preview of the much awaited exhibition of Dynamo at the Grand Palais. The exhibition that celebrates 100 years of movement in art (Kinetic Art) . Portraying the most important artists of the century from Calder to Kapoor. Curated in over 4000 meters, you feel you are in the middle of Art-Disneyland waiting with wonder what the next piece will be. You find yourself in front of interesting mirrors, walking side to side in front of a piece to see how it moves with you or inside a room filled with "smoke" changing colors, some kind of parallel dimension. A little cultural fact is that Kinetic Art is one of the strongest movements in Art during the 20th century, and still in this one, when I say movement I compare it with other movements (Surrealism, Impressionism, Cubism, Realism). Yet the first artists to work with this where the impressionists Manet, Monet and Degas. Another curious fact is that some of the most important artists are from Latin-America (yes we are proud), Venezuela (Carlos Cruz Diez , Jesus Rafael Soto, Alejandro Otero) among many others. If you are in Paris please go to the exhibition you will have fun and explore new worlds and if you are not but there may be a Kinetic art exhibition, don't miss it!
Be in Movement,

I got a helmet!
|Charming Antarctic Sea Bird Painting, Watercolor on paper
The chinstrap penguin (Pygoscelis antarctica) is a species of penguin which is found in the South Sandwich Islands, Antarctica, Deception Island, the South Orkneys, South Shetland, South Georgia, Bouvet Island and Balleny. Their name derives from the narrow black band under their heads which makes it appear as if they are wearing black helmets, making them one of the most easily identified types of penguin. Other names for them are "ringed penguins", "bearded penguins", and "stonecracker penguins" due to their harsh call. In 2004, two male chinstrap penguins named Roy and Silo in Central Park Zoo, New York City, formed a pair-bond and took turns trying to "hatch" a rock; this was substituted by a keeper for a fertile egg, and the pair subsequently hatched and raised the chick. Penguins, by their nature, hatch eggs and are social creatures. A children's book, And Tango Makes Three, was written based on this event.
If you have any queries relating to the painting, please leave me a message via the contact form gadget on the top right corner of the blog. Thank you for your interest.
