They had a breakfast buffet that included grilled tomatoes (delicious at breakfast) and mushrooms cooked with butter, I think (really delicious! Looking at F, she said. "How old is your daughter? When I responded, "Twenty-five," she jumped. Links to this post. Thursday, May 17, 2012. And I got held up because the people in...

To read about F's and my London trip, start here. And click "newer post" to continue the story. Wednesday, June 20, 2012. The next day was Saturday. We had nothing scheduled after the tour on Friday and F was starting to feel bad so we took our time getting dressed and going down for the breakfast buffet. Once again fended off the kids' price for F - this time I thought I really should be answering "how old is your daughter" with "how young do we need her to be". When you get off the train at the station...

To read about F's and my London trip, start here. And click "newer post" to continue the story. Sunday, June 17, 2012. After the changing of the guard, we went for lunch. Some people had pre-paid lunch but F and I hadn't, so we found a tiny cafe and had sandwiches. And looked at the outside of the Tower of London. Here it is:. And all sorts of other stuff. That was F coming down with a cold, and that was me catching it from her . Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). My Very Eclectic Links. Do what you love.

To read about F's and my London trip, start here. And click "newer post" to continue the story. Thursday, June 14, 2012. Well, here we are a month later, ha ha. It was cold. The van displayed the temperature outside and it was 9° C, which translates to 48° F. Drove out of London and through the pretty countryside, looking at the rolling downs (meadows to us) with pretty yellow flowers the driver said was rapeseed, from which we get canola oil. And then outside the van window we saw this:. There were some...

southernxyl: June 2012
http://southernxyl.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
To read about F's and my London trip, start here. And click "newer post" to continue the story. Monday, June 25, 2012. F and I did quite a bit of walking around and sightseeing that Saturday afternoon. As I look at my pictures, I realize that I saw a lot more than I got pix of. The reality of the internet is that you can always find somebody's pictures or videos if you just know what to look for, so it's not the tragedy it could have been. The Mobius strip with a star on it is a nice touch. Here's the Qu...

To read about F's and my London trip, start here. And click "newer post" to continue the story. Sunday, December 16, 2012. Next installment on the London trip. Sunday morning we went to Kensington Palace. Getting there was kind of difficult b/c the website. Gives directions to the nearest tube station but it's kind of vague after that. Somehow we couldn't see it. We asked a couple of passers-by and got non-helpful answers but finally somebody told us to go through an alley and there we were. Some tapestr...

(Would be happy to fix this for R but he does not eat salmon unless it is in the form of salmon patties.). Set toaster oven to preheat to 350 degrees. While it's preheating, cover the cookie sheet with aluminum foil and place on it a single salmon filet, skin side down. Sprinkle with lemon pepper. Add about 3 times as much water. Stir.

To read about F's and my London trip, start here. And click "newer post" to continue the story. Tuesday, November 20, 2012. I need to update a little personal news, and then I really do have to finish writing about our trip (six months later) because this is the only place I'm writing this stuff down. November 5 my mother lost her long fight with cancer. We knew this was coming. She had a lumpectomy and radiation many years ago (like thirteen years, maybe? And that's it for now.

To read about F's and my London trip, start here. And click "newer post" to continue the story. Monday, March 05, 2012. I picked up a book at the drugstore Saturday. Had seen various people on the internet mention it and was curious. The book is Why We Get Fat. Here's the deal with calories in/out, hoping that I'm summarizing and paraphrasing correctly. All of your organs have processes that they run, that require energy. Your heart, for instance, constantly requires energy to keep pumping 24/7. Some of ...
