It may be July with a “feels like” temperature hovering around 100 degrees, but if the recipe includes primavera in the name, then it’s spring, no matter the temperature. I found the recipe for lemony ravioli primavera in the Washington Post a couple months ago. I’ve been anxious to try…

On our previous river cruises, we’ve sailed on one river. Our first trip was on the Rhine, and last year we travelled down the Danube. Cruising in Bordeaux is a bit different. The city of Bordeaux sits on the Garonne River, and just north of the city, the Garonne meets…

Even on vacation, I can’t stop taking pictures of plants. I saw these roses in Bourg. These hollyhocks were beside the old wall in Libourne. I didn’t take any pictures of the plane trees, a hybrid of the sycamore and oriental plane trees, which were everywhere, but this cedar caught…

Hit 5,000 steps today and drop your achievement here — we’re cheering you on! I would guess that, if you read this blog regularly, you’ve figured out that I walk a lot. Ken and I try to get out for a walk five mornings a week. Many of the photos…

We are back on another river cruise with Viking. After a blessedly uneventful series of flights, we landed in Bordeaux on Sunday afternoon. Bordeaux is beautiful…and HOT!!

I wasn’t sure what photo I would use for today’s post, since our week has been kind of topsy-turvy. Ken had an early doctor’s appointment on Monday, so no time for a walk. We woke up Tuesday morning to discover that our air conditioner wasn’t cooling, so we spent the…

Continue reading →: More Artichokes!
I don’t know exactly when Ken first tasted artichokes, but it must have been love at first taste. If I suggest any dish that includes artichokes, he will agree that it should go on the menu. He will likely suggest that I increase the quantity of artichokes. Remember the old…
