A Walk in Tineretului Park in Bucharest
I haven't seen the new Children's Mini-Town. I'll have to go check it out one day.
Somehow I prefer this park the way it is now, because it's different from the more famous manicured ones. This one seems to be designed so that it's ok for nature ...

Zucchini With Pine Nuts: Spaghetti-Style Celery and Zucchini With Mushroom Sauté and Toasted Pinoli

Garden Minestrone: Soothing Italian Potpourri in a Soup Pot
jptanabe, Minestrone is definitely my favorite soup for autumn. I love its role in using up extras and leftovers. It may be a recycler of a soup but it definitely does not taste or look "second rate"!
Thank you for visiting and commenting.

A Walk in Tineretului Park in Bucharest
Mira, It's wonderful that those who decide policy for the park not only think of the younger visitors but also the older, especially in terms of bicycle riding. Bicycling is such an enjoyable, healthy, all-around win-win way of viewing a park, ...

The Mythical Firebird
jptanabe, Throughout my life I've always sought out performances of Stravinsky's "Firebird" and Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake". With these two pieces in particular I feel that the choreography and the music are absolutely in sync. Both the dance and ...

Zucchini With Pine Nuts: Spaghetti-Style Celery and Zucchini With Mushroom Sauté and Toasted Pinoli
I love shredded zucchini, and this recipe sounds good. I wish it were easier here to find celery stalks -- or zucchini, for that matter. Pine nuts I can find, but they're expensive.
Anyway, very nice recipe.

Recognizing Dementia in Your Parents: More than Just Forgetting
It's amazing what they can and can't remember. My mother may forget who came by an hour ago, but she sure can tell me what's going to happen on a tv show that she's seen and I haven't and ruin the ending for me! Thank you for your comments. I ...
