I was in Tulsa some years ago. It was freezing cold and drizzly the day I was there (by the next day it was, in fact, falling as ice), so I didn’t visit the State Fair, but spent the day at the Gilcrease and then the Philbrook Museum.

Route 66: virtual St Louis
Since I am no longer dividing my distances between the Camino and Route 66, I’m making tracks on that virtual journey now.
Continue reading “Route 66: virtual St Louis”Missing
Missing the adventure of winging to some far-flung place, seeing new sites, meeting new people.
Missing the casual ease of popping over to visit my folks, the quiet pleasure of inviting them over for a meal, maybe a show watched together…

So one of my old friends asked me a few days back, how I’ve been getting all my steps every day, even though I’m in so much. (As of course many of us are.) Continue reading “Old friends”

Back to Greece
Meals for this week will be themed and inspired by my visit to Greece…
Homemade tzatziki. Who would have imagined something made from cucumbers and plain yogurt (okay: and garlic and lemon and dill, so that’s where the magic happens) could be so delicious?
I’m also making… seasoned beef inspired by gyro and souvlaki flavors… and spanikopita. With Kalamata olives as a delicious garnish to it all.
Now all I need is a glass of wine and good found-friends, and I’ll (almost) be back in Greece again.
Almost.

Recapturing a moment

Progress
My grand adventure to NEW-where continues to shape up. In total, the trip as planned requires 15 days, 14 nights, 8 hotels, 3 flights, 2 car rentals, and something over 2200 miles by car. And a partridge in a pear tree. Continue reading “Progress”
Inside jokes and movie quotes
My sister and I were at one of those awful, come-to-my-sales-pitch-disguised-as-a-party events some time back, and they were showing off something simply hideous as if it were fabulous. She turned to me and whispered, Continue reading “Inside jokes and movie quotes”
