A spectacular trip in December 2018 revealed a spectacular display of the Northern Lights. Six nights of “flaming” lights. In addition many breathtaking images of the coast seen in Twilight. And more. See the full collection in this blogs menu.
Last year, during a stop in Paris, we discovered this simple food combination. It is a combination that is exquisite and typical, in my opinion, of the genius of the French palate. So this year I have grown some of these radishes from seed in our yard and garden plot. I think the ‘terroir’ is not the same here in Illinois for the radishes, but they came out pretty good. I discovered that you have to harvest when they are crispy and moist. Still working on that timing, but I found that if you wait too long to harvest they start to dry out and become tough and inedible. Take the radish, cut the end off a little, dip it in the butter (a large glob is best) and then dip the butter in the salt. Yum. Essayez un peu!

Visit Greenwood cemetery in Brooklyn and also the Botanic Gardens – they are close to each other
The View That George And Martha Washington had at Mount Vernon – it is well worth the short drive ftom DC.
The picture says it all…..
Taken in 2004 while exploring the regional gardens, pub gastronomy and the pubs that Morse frequented around Oxford.
Taken while on a Jeep tour of the Sand Dunes outside of Dubai in 2011. You can drive for seemingly miles in one direction and then realize you have been going round in a circle….
