I will go to Germany this September. I plan to meet a friend in Hamburg, and then visit Berlin, my ancestral town in Oberfranken and Munich in time for the Oktoberfest. I need to buy a R/T ticket soon, but I am not sure where I should fly to...Amsterdam or Frankfurt. Frankfurt seems to be...

Gas: :dunno: I go to that same gas station for years, but I didn't even bother to look at its name. As a city dweller, I dont drive that much. Sometimes I forget where my car is parked because I haven't used it for weeks. Food: Whole Foods, Trader Joe's and a local grocery. I usually...

I know a bagel place that boils bagels in water. The bagels are very good. I believe, for a boiled cake, the ingredients need to be boiled before baking.

I love to write too. I love to take my dogs outside for a long walk.

:laugh2: I have a friend whose Irish mother boils everything in her sight. Boiled meats, boiled potatoes and vegetables, even boiled bread. I remember seeing a recipe for boiled cake in one of my grandmother's recipe books. I am not sure if anyone in my family had tried that.

Like an ostrich. I have tried an ostrich burger and I savored every bite.

Not a picky eater here, I'd try almost anything. I can be fussy when it comes to how the dish is prepared. I am not a vegetarian, but I do not eat red meats, except bacon and sausages. I can't resist Polish Kielbasa (sp?) sausages during the holidays. :laugh2: Flashbacks of my...

Surprised that DC is listed as one of America's unsafest cities. I live here since 1996 and nothing has happened to me or my friends. In early 1990s, DC was known as Murder Capital. Now, THANKS to Mayor Williams, most neighborhoods have been gentrified and are safe enough to walk around...

Dang! Missed the first two rounds. What time Tues. night?

Re: Re: Re: What's your favorite vacation spot? Allentown is closer to Jim Thorpe. PA Turnpike (I-476), exit #74 Lehighton. After making the exit, you should see directions for the town. Enjoy. I have been to the festival several times. Like Kuifje75, my family is part of the PA...

I have many favorite quotes, but there is one that I see everyday. It was inscribed on the sidewalk when the cement was wet, so it is still there. I never fail to smile at it every morning and every night when I walk with my dogs. "I want to tear off all your logic and make passionate...

I had a long-distance relationship. It didn't work for me. My ex and I were together for a couple of years. He got a good job offer in a different state, about 850 miles from where we were, and I already had a very good job. We had many discussions about what we should do. At one point, I...

A young, hip librarian in the nation's capital - not your stereotypical school librarian. Sorry, Ms. Polley.

276 sins? :shock: I have a lot of work to do before visiting there. My friend from work and his partner went to Malaysia and Thailand last year. They are seasoned world travelers and have been to many places, but they couldn't believe how friendly people were in Malaysia and Thailand...

Yes, the Amazing Race 4 has begun. The episode from last Thursday was the first one. You can find more info at www.cbs.com. It has neat pages for AR4. Masks! Oh yes, they were awesome, but expensive. I fell in love with a blue crescent mask, but I couldn't afford it. It was about 300...

When I was in 5th grade, I carried a sketch book with me all the times. I loved to draw anything of the ancient Egyptian civilization...pyramids, pharaohs, and even camels. I also built a papier-mache city, completed with a pyramid. It was a phase I outgrew in the next grade. :(

Oh...you too! I got lost in Venezia too. The city is like a big labyrinth. Intricate streets and canals. It was amazing. As I was leaving the city, I promised myself to return someday. Did you watch the first (I think) episode of Amazing Race 4 last Thursday? Venice was the setting. It...

It doesn't matter to me. I have a female friend who doesn't shave her legs and armpits. I think it is natural. Maybe it is unnatural to you because most American women shave nowadays. I think hairy women are beautiful too. Women should not feel obligated to shave, even in America. If...
