My Dream Hotel: Insider Experience at David InterContinental Tel Aviv
I used to swim a lot. When I was studying my Masters in Warsaw, I used to swim almost five times a week. Not in public swimming pools though because they were too crowded for me. Nope. Me and my Turkish friend, Mehmet, paid monthly to swim in hotel swimming pools instead. One of […]
Why are German Waffles Heart-Shaped, and Belgian Waffles Rectangular?
“Nice. I haven’t eaten Belgian waffles for a while.” “They are not Belgian waffles.

Experiencing the Slow Living Movement in Umbria, Italy
A Magical Night “There’s something waiting for you outside,” said Marliza and Serena.

Our Valentines Dinner is Beyonce Themed – The Food
People are so boring and cliche during Valentines day so I sexed it up a bit and made ours Beyonce-themed. If you missed it, you can read the fab menu linked in the first sentence. This was the first time I wasn’t traveling during Valentine’s. In 2011 we were in Malta channeling Haruki Murakami’s The […]

Inspired by Brucie‘s Valentines menu in New York, I created our own Beyonce-themed Valentines dinner menu that I will cook tonight for my hot, hot date. I probably haven’t made it public yet but Beyonce is my favorite pop star. I have been a fan way back in high school when she was still with […]
