The Great Italian Gelato Throwdown, Part 2 – Florence

Posted onJuly 24, 2017August 10, 2017AuthorKBKLeave a comment

As the birthplace of gelato, we expected Florence to have the very best gelato. It did not disappoint. For this visit, we were in town forless than 24 hours, so, we had to hit it hard. First, Dei Neri – Via dei Neri, 9/11, 50122 – had one of the best pistachios ever, and, the Read More …

The Great Italian Gelato Throwdown – Part 1, Rome

Posted onJuly 21, 2017August 10, 2017AuthorKBKLeave a comment

“When in Rome, live as the Romans do; when elsewhere, live as they live elsewhere.” – St. Ambrose. Our interpretation of this astute quotation is – since gelato was created in the 16th century, for, no less a being than Catherine dei Medici, and we’d love to live like a Medici, we must eat all Read More …

Snoop: Bergen, Norway

Posted onJuly 20, 2016April 22, 2018AuthorKBKLeave a comment

I LOVE BERGEN. I would live there if I could. Well, I would live there in the summer. Even though it was mostly cold and rainy, I would love to stay there for a month or two or three every year. We got to hang out with my mom’s friends, Shari and Per and their Read More …

Snoop: Budapest, Hungary

Posted onJuly 16, 2016August 14, 2016AuthorKBKLeave a comment

Two words: ESCAPE GAMES! We played a couple of different Escape Rooms this time in Budapest. Wicklewood from Claustrophilia was fantastic. We were just inches from getting the final key out – we needed about 30 more seconds and we would have been triumphant. The Pirate Cave is even cooler. It is heavily themed and Read More …

Snoop: Romania

Posted onJuly 14, 2016August 14, 2016AuthorKBKLeave a comment

Romania is a little bit different than what I expected. I thought it was going to be more Slavic, but, our guide told us that they were “an island of Latinity in a Slavic Sea.” Hearing the language spoken, there were definite similarities to Italian, so, I could pick up words and phrases here and Read More …

Snoop: Bulgaria

Posted onJuly 3, 2016August 14, 2016AuthorKBKLeave a comment

Bulgaria is beautiful. I love the people and the scenery. The drivers are still rowdy, however I believe them to be more cautious than in the rest of the Balkans. I did not like the food as much in Bulgaria as I did in the rest of the Balkans. The cities themselves did not seem Read More …

Do you believe that there is such a thing as ‘love at first sight?’ If not, I am here to tell you that it exists. When we were in Murren I saw the love of my life. She is three years old, and she is the cutest bulldog in the world. Since we had been Read More …

Snoop: Fondue

Posted onAugust 11, 2014May 10, 2015AuthorSnoopLeave a comment

If I had to live on a desert island with only one food, it would be fondue. Bread is not the best thing to eat fondue with. I wish that there were apples to dip with the bread. All over Switzerland, the portions were huge. In Mürren, the bonus was that I got to eat Read More …

When we were in Shanghai, we learned about Portuguese egg tarts. We were at a restaurant in our hotel, and for dessert, we had them, and we fell in love. We went back two or three times just for the egg tarts. Since they are called Portuguese egg tarts, we decided to go to Portugal Read More …

Snoop: San Sebastián, Spain

Posted onJuly 21, 2014May 10, 2015AuthorSnoopLeave a comment

San Sebastián has a beautiful beach. It was windy and rainy for most of the time we were there so we had to find a way to occupy ourselves. This usually means eating. Almost every place we went, even a sushi bar, had tapas. In San Sebastián, they are called Pintxos. I dislike tapas. They Read More …
