Posted by Tina Published in Food

The other day I had it in my head to make a rice salad with all kinds of goodies - artichokes, tomatoes, olives… but then through Michelle at bleeding espresso, I found a blog called Spaghetti al Pomodoro, a blog written by a girl who is getting ready to move to Florence. I started from […]

Maybe it’s my partially Tuscan blood, but I love sitting here, working while the doors to the patio are wide open. The way it’s set up, it feels like outside is in here with me. I love inviting the outside in. The patio floor is terracotta, and there are some flowers along the wall. It […]

Nah…

I don’t know if I can do this blogging every day thing. When I have that sort of pressure my inspiration goes out the window! So, I’m dropping out of NaBloPoMo because I want to write in my blog when I feel like it and I want to be happy when I write in it, […]

I know I said I’d post a regular “What’s Cooking Wednesday” entry, and I even have a recipe from my mom, and the past couple of weeks I have flaked out. There’s just too much going on right now. I’m totally distracted by the election, which has made history in many ways, and I am […]

A friend posted this on Facebook this morning and I thought it was a nice and inspired choice.
I love Sam Cooke. Whenever I hear him I think of my father, who introduced me to his songs and voice. When we lived in my great-grandmother’s house in “Garlic Gulch”, Seattle’s Italian neighborhood that is since […]

It’s Election Day! Vote! This is it! Your last chance!

Posted by Tina Published in voting

Hey Americans who read this blog: I hope you are all voting. Just because the polls say one thing or another, does not mean you don’t have to vote. Get out there and do it. I don’t care if you think it’s “too much trouble” because your voting location is not near your work. Just […]

Subte

Posted by Tina Published in Buenos Aires

I’m supposed to post something every day but today I do not feel inspired to write. So, I’m leaving you with a photo. I took this inside the subte station (Linea A) under Plaza Miserere.

I am writer #9683 of NaBloPoMo

Posted by Tina Published in parties

What is NaBloPoMo you ask? It’s National Blog Posting Month! I have committed to write a blog post every day for the month of November. I’m only half-convinced that I can do it, but we’ll see how far this goes. ;-) I’m a day late in joining but that’s ok. It’s the thought that counts.
For […]
