Impressive Imagery & Peruvian Dishes

Some images that have meaning, made an impression or provided giggles these past weeks. The food pictures toward the end feature some of my favorite dishes from Peru: Papas Rellena, Aji de Gallina, and Conchitas Parmesanas.

Peruvian has become one of my favorites since I live in the Americas. Something about the way spices and ingredients are combined really is unique and so delicious. I'm intrigued with ancient Mesoamerican civilizations as well. You seem to hear a lot about them lately as we approach legendary 2012 - as I see it, a New Age rather than the old doomsday scenario. Crazed bible thumpers won't agree with me here.

Brandenburg and the Book of Skulls

November already. The year's almost gone, crazy. The picture's of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin during New Year's celebrations. It's so fun to be there for the turn of the year party. I'm sure it will be huge this year (20 years since The Wall) but I probably won't make it this time so roomie and I are contemplating other options. I don't want to stay in town, definitely want to go somewhere and it will involve plane travel, possibly just domestic. I really want to get out for a while and am thinking cold and snowy would make a proper substitute for a Germany trip. Must think & decide. I've been reading more again lately and enjoying every moment of it.

Mors stupebit et natura,

Cum resurget creatura,

Iudicanti responsura.

Liber scriptus proferetur, in quo totum continetur.

Unde mundus judicetur.

- From the "Book of Skulls" by Robert Silverberg, published 1972

I would enjoy some friends on this blog but still don't see how you even network here. It seems like you just add blogs and maybe they will or will not add you back?

Late Night Sensation

I'm keeping crazy hours. Really liking the late-night atmosphere, preferably with music that matches. It's peaceful, it's quiet, I hear crickets even though it's foggy tonight. Solaris is playing providing soundscapes that create landscapes. Beautiful. The perfect combination to think, write, dream...

Bit lonely still. I try not to miss him.
