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: 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: My mom is so busted

Posted onOctober 25, 2015May 10, 2016AuthorSnoopLeave a comment

Mom talked about how important the Grand Canyon was, but, do you know the REAL reason why we drove all the way to Phoenix instead of going back to Las Vegas? In a word: Tarbell’s Excellent choice, Mom.

Snoop: Seattle

Posted onAugust 17, 2015May 10, 2016AuthorSnoopLeave a comment

I like Seattle, but it seems like it is cloudy too often to make it a finalist for me to live there. I do like the area where we are staying, Belltown. The best thing in the neighborhood is Seattle Glassblowing. I got to spend 2 days there creating bowls, plates and cups. Here are Read More …

Snoop: Tel Aviv

Posted onMarch 24, 2015May 10, 2015AuthorSnoopLeave a comment

We had a very busy time in Tel Aviv. It is a big city with almost 3.7 million people living in the area. That is almost half the population of the country. There were a few things that surprised me about Tel Aviv. The first thing was that even though the majority of the people Read More …

Snoop: Eilat, Israel

Posted onMarch 21, 2015May 10, 2015AuthorSnoopLeave a comment

I love Israel. It has a little bit of everything. There are pretty beaches, nice people, lots of history, fun activities and great food. Our trip started in Eilat. It is the southernmost city in Israel. When our plane was landing, you could see the national flags of Jordan and Egypt on either side of 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 …
