Late night banana-cart chronicles

It was late. Not so late that the streets were empty, but empty enough for a lone roasted banana-cart salesman. From outside my front window, I heard a screaming whistle that impelled me to the front window to investigate. Looking down to the street I immediately recognized the source, but it was still a strange […]

This is getting to be a problem.

The home office and my stash of Swiss chocolate are a dangerous combo. Also, there is one block of gruyere left as well, but the cheese has been easier to make last because I don’t always have time to get down to the one good bakery where I can get the bread that the cheese […]

Day of Sustainable Technology Transfer

It just doesn’t have the same ring to it though. However, discussing Thanksgiving during my Spanish conversation group this week, we stumbled upon what the day is really about.

Wine and cheese in Tequis

For the first weekend free from training and the last weekend with some friends before they move to their sites, we spent the day in Tequisquiapan at the wine and cheese festival. Underwhelming in terms of wine and cheese, but we did find a decent sparkling white and manchego to snack on. Tequis is a charming town, […]
