Best Bozhidar Pangelov Poems
A light day… My granny was a little woman. She loved to speak in other languages: Italian, French and German. And in the Grannies language for their grandchildren: "my pretty". She didn't get pension (that was the time) and our home was thronged with pupils. Surely because of this I learnt neither one. Or with the guests who dropped in often (we lived in the downtown by the tail of the horse* - they used to say so), for having a cup of black coffee. The coffee was special – for fortune-telling. She "was telling fortune" and they were telling us. A lot of stories. Surely because of this I know neither one. Then she started getting less and less and slender. One night my mother told me, "Go to see her…" A thin, transparent leaf. Now surely she's telling the fortune and is speaking only in the Grannies language for their grandchildren: "my pretty". ................................................... *"the tail of the horse" is slang for the Historical Monument Tsar Osvoboditel (tsar liberator) that indicates the downtown of Sofia; more on the monument can be read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Monument-Tsar-Osvoboditel-1912.jpg

Overall customer ratings
Business Cards is rated out of 5 by 45.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Momo1 from Not happy with the paper finish I have ordered raised print business cards with a coloured, raised print reverse side and deluxe matte finish. I used stock design. The raised print is fine, although the colour is more yellowish than gold (it is more yellowish in the preview, now that I looked again, so no problem here). It would look first class in gold though! Because of this, next time I will go for metallic print. The thickness of the paper is acceptable. However, I did not expect the paper to be shiny at all when I deliberately ordered deluxe matte paper. The delivered product looks nothing like the price tag would indicate. The shiny raised print does not stand out against the shiny surface of the paper and the paper feels just ordinary. Looks quite cheap, has no wow factor, ruins the look, can't feel the luxury I was looking for.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Clubcapt from Expected better I ordered better quality business cards, well, I thought I did. I expected a thicker card and better background colour quality with brighter gold raised information. Not a bad card but not worth the extra money. It looked better on the design page.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Riothejug from Raised design Business cards I designed a card with front and back in the same colour, the result was a card with totally different colours on either side. The raised effect was not inline with the design. the flat colour grey on reverse was pixelated. Very poor quality. Will not be able to use these cards, as they do not look professional.

In my case I've decided to go on the entire text with "Raised Print" feature.When received the business cards, I was extremely surprised to find out that only 2 lines + logo was having this feature: "Raised Print"Don't know if I'm going to order anything else from Vistaprint. Most probably I'll change the provider.Best,

Fiscal Aspects of Metropolitan Governance
The aim of this paper is to review from a fiscal perspective the different models of governing structure found in metropolitan areas around the world. While there is considerable dispute in the literature as to exactly how, and how much, the design of governing institutions matters in affecting outcomes, it is indisputable that money matters: who has it, where does it come from, and under what conditions it can be spent and by whom. How public expenditures are financed directly affects the feasibility of any developmental proposal or service provision goal and is thus always a key issue in any city or metropolitan area strategy. In particular, experience suggests strongly that the ability to "self-finance"--that is, to be free to at least some extent from the whims and wishes of others -- is a critical factor in determining which metropolitan institutions live and thrive and which fade away or die in bickering between contending financial supporters. We set out the key parameters of four models of government structure used around the world (one-tier, two-tier, voluntary cooperation, and special districts). We evaluate how these different models work in practice, drawing on real-world examples to illustrate the argument. We consider how well each model achieves coordination of service delivery over the entire metropolitan area, the extent to which they allow for the equitable sharing of costs of services throughout the metropolitan area, and their ability to reduce negative or positive spillovers of service delivery across local boundaries. We examine some aspects of local government expenditures and also look at main sources of revenue, evaluating the advantages and disadvantages of different revenue-raising tools for different governing structures. Finally, we summarize our findings on the fiscal aspects of governance for metropolitan regions around the world and made a few suggestions with respect to possible future fiscal developments in Latin American metropolitan regions.

Actor Bale comforts Aurora's wounded
Comment on this storyAurora, Colorado - Actor Christian Bale on Tuesday paid a low-key visit to Aurora, Colorado, to comfort victims of last week's shooting massacre, which occurred during a screening of his latest film, The Dark Knight Rises.
Pictures posted on Twitter showed the Welsh-born actor at the Medical Centre of Aurora, where 20 of the 58 people wounded in Friday's massacre are still receiving treatment, some of them in critical condition.
"ChristianBale meeting with #Aurora #theatershooting victim Carey Rottman," read one tweet above a photo of Bale, crouched next to the young man with his arm resting on his chair as the two smiled for the camera.
"What a surprise! 19 Swedish staff members met actor Christian Bale today (at) TMCA! More details soon," read another tweet from the Swedish Medical Centre with a photo of Bale wearing a black T-shirt and posing with medical personnel.
James Holmes, 24, is accused of fatally shooting 12 people and wounding 58 more at a cinema on Friday in Aurora, outside Denver, as moviegoers packed the first midnight screening of the latest Batman film.
Bale plays Bruce Wayne and his alter ego, Batman, in the movie. - Sapa-AFP

My boyfriend also read on Serebii how to get Mewtwo and is willing to trade you that for a Celebi for me. I must stress that the Celebi must be legitmate, if you are interested in one of these pokemon for a trade, please respond. Oh and I have unlimited level 5 Jirachis (I have the Pokemon Colosseum bonus disk) and would gladly give you multiple Jirachis if you so desire.) My only question is how can I be sure that this Celebi is 100% LEGITIMATE, and if you could provide some proof that would be nice Thanks for your time if you're interested please respond, I will be checking at least once a day.

Charteris cleared to face Wallabies
Mon, 29 Oct 2012 18:10
This is a major step forward for us
Wales interim head coach Rob Howley on Monday confirmed an agreement has been reached with French club Perpignan for the release of lock Luke Charteris for their clash with Australia at the Millennium Stadium on December 1.
The compromise will see Charteris miss Wales' Test against Argentina on November 10 and will instead be available to his club on that day.
"We are delighted to have come to an agreement with Perpignan which will allow Luke to be available to be considered for selection for the Wallabies game," said Howley.
"This is a major step forward for us and shows that our trip out to France to talk face to face with the clubs has paid dividends."
Howley travelled to France alongside head coach Warren Gatland last month to begin discussions about the release of Wales' overseas contingent and he sees no reason why future agreements cannot be put in place.
"We have reached a compromise which allows Perpignan to have Luke available to them when they need him most and see no reason why we can't build on this relationship in the future," he added.
There is no indication whether a similar deal has been struck with Charteris' Perpignan team mate James Hook.

'Bottom-loading tape compartment.'
'Poor low-light performance'
'A very easy and surprisingly full-featured camera to use'
'Fun art filters'
'really good noise reduction'
'- Good looking and small. - Nice large 3.0 inch LCD screen. - Very good photo quality! '
'The still pics are really nice.'
'Image quality is excellent for a budget camera, with lovely colour, accurate exposure, very good sharpness and low image noise at high ISO settings.'
'very reasonable price'
'Shot-to-shot time was relatively quick as well, and in burst mode, the camera took around 0.9 second per frame.'
'Panasonic's LUMIX DMC-FS7 is a compact digital camera that's simple to use, and it takes excellent photos.'
'The camera has long shot-to-shot times and its flat buttons can be tricky to press.'
'The picture quality is slightly better with the A3300 and I love all the cool lens effects.'
'The Canon PowerShot A3300 IS is small enough and nicely fits into your pocket.'
'beautiful images'
'Nice little camera'
'Measuring 3.75 by 2.38 by 0.66 inches and weighing five ounces, the DSC-TX1 is small enough to fit into a coat pocket, and it won't take up a lot of room in a purse. '
'If you're all gussied up, you might as well bring a camera like Sony's fashion-conscious, 10.2-megapixel , a touchscreen camera that lets you party instead of fussing with camera settings. '
'Like the T90, the TX1 isn't the quickest camera off the mark — shutter lag measures 0.3 second, and in the high-speed burst mode the TX1 captures 10 frames in rapid succession, at an interval of approximately 0.1 second between each shot. '
'Luckily, the T90 has more to offer than just widescreen-ready images. '
'Touchscreen menus.'
'pretty sleek looking camera'
'Useful touch screen'
'The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W570 is simple to use with reliable auto shooting and decent low-light photos in a very small body.'
'Battery life was average, as it's a tiny battery, so you'll need a spare for all day shooting.'
'very good take-everywhere ultracompact camera'
'Well priced.'
'superb wide angle performance'
'Sweep panorama is slow.'
'slim, lightweight camera'
'Decent colors and sharpness.'
'Auto Scene Selector.'
'Elegantly stylish and simple, the new COOLIX S570 allows even those with no photography experience to capture special moments. '
'This camera is easy to use and has several good features.'
'Ease of use.'
'The casual photographer needs a camera that is easy to carry and easy to use, so compact and ultracompact cameras make the best choice.'
'Casio's effective use of fast digital technologies to deliver unprecedented high-speed burst shooting and high-speed image processing of these new models has exceeded all expectations of what digital cameras should be able to accomplish.'

How to treat common cold in infants
My four month old has a cold. Sneezing, coughing, watery eyes.. No fever thankfully. We've been running hot water showers once a day and hanging out in the bathroom with her as it gets steamy, have also had humidifiers running. Also adding an extra ounce to her bottles and making sure she's getting plenty of rest. I'm afraid to give her any medicine as she's so young. What else can I do? I don't want to take her to the dr because then she'd be in contact with more germs...

Really the only can do is keep her nose clear with either a suction cup thingy or a humidifier. Not really any meds you can give a 4month old.

Issue No.01 - January (1998 vol.9)
pp: 5-23
DOI Bookmark: http://doi.ieeecomputersociety.org/10.1109/71.655238

Abstract—This paper presents the results of the <it>Cedar Hand-Parallelization Experiment</it>, conducted from 1989 through 1992, within the Center for Supercomputing Research and Development (CSRD) at the University of Illinois. In this experiment, we manually transformed the Perfect Benchmarks® into parallel program versions. In doing so, we used techniques that may be automated in an optimizing compiler. We then ran these programs on the Cedar multiprocessor (built at CSRD during the 1980s) and measured the speed improvement due to each technique.

The results presented here extend the findings previously reported in [<ref rid="bibl000511" type="bib">11</ref>]. The techniques credited most for the performance gains include array privatization, parallelization of reduction operations, and the substitution of generalized induction variables. All these techniques can be considered extensions of transformations that were available in vectorizers and commercial restructuring compilers of the late 1980s. We applied these transformations by hand to the given programs, in a mechanical manner, similar to that of a parallelizing compiler. Because of our success with these transformations, we believed that it would be possible to implement many of these techniques in a new parallelizing compiler. Such a compiler has been completed in the meantime and we show preliminary results.

Program parallelization, parallelization techniques, restructuring compilers, performance evaluation.

| Re: Greg Blache gets his revenge: Skins-Rams Defensive Review A million thanks to you Tripp for another highly informative review. We chatted last week about the possibility of Blache experiencing a schematic epiphany...does last Sunday qualify? I think it's hugely encouraging he is finding ways to accentuate the individuals strengths on defense and hopefully cover for the few weaknesses that exist. |

| Re: Greg Blache gets his revenge: Skins-Rams Defensive Review Quote:
I went back and watched the plays you were talking about and those plays were a departure from Blache's norm. I wonder if the genesis of the concepts came from Coach KO? I remember Blache giving KO credit for getting more from Wilson this offseason then Blache himself was able to in his years on the DL. I would like to see these new scheme meshed together with some of Coach Gray's mexed coverages like he used against Dallas game 1 last year. On the first zone-blitz if Orakpo gets out a little wider and really runs underneath that receiver its a pick 6! The second play looks like a zone-drop that i've see Blache run about once a game where he drops a DT into a hook-zone from a normally its from a Tampa-2 look in the secondary. The coverage behind this zone drop is different because Horton was up it looked like he was playing the flat or off man on the RB. I'm gonna keep an eye out for more zone-blitz looks. I bet we show Stafford alot of Tampa-2. HTTR!

Emilio Ghilardi, senior vice president and general manager of sales for Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), will assume the role of chief sales officer at the beginning of 2009.
Rivet will continue in his role until AMD finds a replacement for him as CFO, AMD said. Dirk Meyer, AMD's president and chief financial officer, called Rivet's new role an "expanded position".
Rivet has been chief financial officer at AMD since 2000. He previously served as senior vice president and director of finance of the Semiconductor Products Sector of Motorola, now called Freescale.
"With our recently announced Asset Smart strategy, AMD is accelerating our transformation to capitalize on our proven expertise in both microprocessor and leading-edge graphics to deliver the innovations that matter most to our customers," Meyer said in a statement. "Placing these proven, experienced leaders in expanded roles will strengthen our customer relationships, enhance our execution and drive progress against our corporate objectives. Emilio brings more than 20 years of computer sales and marketing experience that will help AMD continue to strengthen and expand our global customer relationships. Bob's proven operational discipline and leadership will help AMD evolve operationally as a smarter, more flexible company."
AMD reported better-than-expected revenue last week, in addition to a narrower loss.

Each week Showtek will provide one track for the following categories: favorite classic, current favorite, future classic, secret weapon, talent support, favorite chill-out song, road trip music, and favorite after-hours song. Their favorite classic is meant to educate the new generation of dance music fans, while their current favorite will be directly relevant to their fans' tastes. The future classic track is a tune they believe will be continued to be played long after its initial success. The secret weapon is a jaw-dropping track only to be used to stun the crowd at the most opportune moments. Talent support features a promising emerging artist. The favorite chill-out song demonstrates their balanced taste with something mellow. The road trip essential is a tune that they enjoy listening to while traveling. Lastly, the after-hours song is something they throw on after a long night out.

Body Electric, an exhibition of visual art by tattooists

Body Electric, an exhibition of visual art by tattooists
that I curated at Ricco/Maresca Gallery: September 18-Oct 25.
Imogen Cunningham was a pioneer in many ways, notably as a woman who photographed nudes, male and female–including herself, in the early 20th century, when America's Victorian hangover mandated that art school models wear masks to guard their reputations.
The stunning new book Imogen Cunningham (TF Editores/DAP) is the largest collection of her work to date, spanning her nudes, street art, industrial photos, botanicals (which echoed Georgia O'Keefe and presaged Robert Mapplethorpe), and portraits of artists and writers from Man Ray and Gertrude Stein to Frida Kahlo and Martha Graham.
Though she collaborated briefly with Dorothea Lange, Cunningham was not interested in "the invasive approach" of photojournalism. But she took some fabulous celebrity photos. When she appeared (at 93, shortly before her death) on the Tonight Show in 1976, she told Johnny Carson that Vanity Fair, for whom she worked in the '30s, once hired her to shoot ugly men, including Cary Grant. "Do you consider him ugly?" Carson asked, and the audience roared with laughter when she replied, "No—he convinced me that he wasn't."
Cunningham worked until her death. Her posthumously published monograph, After 90, chronicled the elderly, including the tattooed circus attraction Irene "Bobbie" Libarry (83, at right) in a nursing home. It was one of Cunningham's last portraits, taken months before she died, and I've read that it was one of her favorites. Oddly it's not included in this book (though a touching photo of Libarry's tattooed feet is).
I wish this collection featured fewer of Cunningham's double exposed allegorical photos, which haven't aged well, and more of her artists' portraits, which have. Even so, this visual bonanza–200 images, all on view at the Kulturhuset in Stockholm—is spectacular, confirming how fresh and sensual her photos were–and are.
This photo of a post- mastectomy tattoo from Bodies of Subversion went viral on Facebook this week after Custom Tattoo Design in Ontario posted it and Facebook repeatedly removed it for violating its nudity policy. In reposting it, Lee Roller of CTD wrote, "We feel this woman is both brave and strong so [we're] going to post it anyways and ask for your awareness and support. Please like and share this photo quickly to show your support for this and many other women who have lost so much.'
Odd that Facebook considers a woman without breasts indececent (she shows nothing more than a shirtless man would) or, for that matter, naked: her tattoo itself is a beautiful shirt. The image has been shared (as of April 22) almost 400,00 times and inspired 200,000 likes and over 60,000 comments, along with a slew of news articles internationally. And Facebook has evidently relented:the photo remains up. Seattle artist Tina Bafaro did the tattoo on Inga Duncan Thornell after her bilateral mastectomy. Here's what it looks like from behind:
A few weeks ago, No Doubt's "Looking Hot" video (featuring Gwen Stefani as a white Indian bound and writhing for the delectation of hunky hostiles) revived a centuries-old tradition of captive fantasy art just in time for Native American History Month. There was John Vanderlyn's 1804 "Murder of Jane McCrea," John Mix Stanley's 1845 "Osage Scalp Dance," Erastus Dow Palmer's full frontal "The White Captive" (1857-8, allegedly inspired by Olive Oatman), and this priceless lesser known piece, "The White Captive," by Astley D.M. Cooper:
A California artist with a drinking problem and a penchant for painting semi-clad ladies, Cooper was an erratic talent (but you have to hand it to him for this 4 x 8 foot piece of sheer high concept brilliance). Though it was painted in 1902, his captivity scenario is positively postmodern: the natives look like they could be Indians from a whole different continent, and the chubby little devils—wearing angel wings and carrying spears, tomahawks, and bows and arrows–merrily menace a blissed out androgyne who's about to get roasted and float to heaven.
This painting always struck me as a little late in the day for captivity fantasy art. But No Doubt has extended the timeline by over a century. After hearing from outraged viewers (and receiving an open letter from UCLA 's American Indian Studies Center), Interscope pulled the video and the band issued a formal apology (as did Victoria's Secret for dressing this model in leopard skin panties and a floor length Indian headdress):
One particularly offensive aspect of the No Doubt video, the AISC letter noted, is that one in three Native American women is raped (primarily by non-Indians). Perhaps as penance for singing "Do You think I'm Looking Hot?" in redface during Native American history month, Stefani should read Louise Erdrich's The Roundhouse, a novel about the rape of an Ojibwe woman, which just won the National Book Award. It was written, said Erdrich, to honor "the grace and endurance of native women."
From the 19th century to the 1950s, Hawaiian hula dancers performed for guests at home and foreigners abroad, establishing what author Adria Imada calls "imagined intimacy" between the U.S and the Aloha State as we made it safe for democracy, tourism, and the exportation of sugar. In Aloha America: Hula Circuits Through the U.S. Empire (Duke University Press), Imada traces the practice from its island origins (a "highly venerated, selective and restricted" dance that was both sacred and secular) to its kitschy reincarnation in the age of dashboard dancers.
Drawing intriguing comparisons to both the Maori of New Zealand and Native Americans, Imada explains how Hawaiians protected their rituals by exporting and adapting them. "Hawaiian women," she writes, "though frequently displayed as imperial objects, were not passive commodities….they improvised tactics to subvert colonial scripts that insisted on primitivist eroticized roles, asserted hula as a legitimate practice, and presented themselves as modern Native women and cosmopolitan tourists."Smartly theorized and well researched as it is, Aloha America is written in a rote, relentless academise that drains the life out of the dynamic subject it seeks to celebrate. And so a dance that was, by one 19th century account, "so amorous that the ladies [in the audience] turned aside their heads," is here a "sexualized discursive formation" that involved "performative stagings" in the service of "the erotics of empire." The history's solid, but what a shame the story doesn't swing.
The new film "Pink Ribbons, Inc." tracks the degeneration of breast cancer advocacy from activism to "pinkwash" consumerism. But one pink product has finally run its course: the ribbon tattoo. "I haven't done a straight up pink ribbon on a survivor in years," says veteran tattooist Mary Jane Haake, "unless it is incorporated into the body of a butterfly or some other design."
Pink ribbons are also her most requested cover-up. "After awhile," says Haake, "[women] don't want to be a 'survivor' who is asked about the ribbon in the grocery store line and have to relive their cancer experience over and over. And even if you put it on your body where the public doesn't see it, you don't necessarily want to look at it first thing every morning while you brush your teeth."
As the founder of Dermigraphics in Portland, the longest continuously running tattoo shop on the west coast, Haake was one of the first artists to cover mastectomy scars with decorative imagery and to tattoo nipples and areolae on women after reconstruction. When she started in the late '70s, she got about one such customer a year. Now she does one every day—many on women in their twenties and thirties.
Post-reconstruction tattoos done to conceal scars and to "fake" nipples and areolae have been common since the 1980s, though New York tattooist Charlie Wagner was attempting them back in the 1940s. Their quality improved after the Breast Cancer Recovery Act of 1999 allowed physicians to add tattooing to their reconstruction services: surgeons soon discovered they weren't good at it, and artists took over.
"Today," says Haake, "the tattooing—whether decorative or reconstructive—is covered under the breast cancer recovery act and paid for by insurance, so tattooers themselves are able to bill insurance companies for their work."

One of the few well-known black tattooists in the U.S., Miya Bailey is worried about the plague of scratchers defacing African-Americans across the country, Lil Wayne being the limit case for bad body art. In the documentary "Color Outside the Lines" by Artemus Jenkins, Bailey introduces a generation of black artists rectifying this problem. To stand out on dark skin, they explain, tattoos need to be large, with bold lines and what artist Russ Abbott calls "a readable silhouette." New Orleans veteran Jacci Gresham shows her decades-old Ed Hardy tattoo to illustrate how a detailed piece that might have worked on white skin didn't quite cohere on her. And self-described "token white" artist Brandon Bond says that 90% of white tattooists don't take the time to figure out how color works on black skin.
The artists also discuss the difficulty of breaking into this white-dominated trade (Julia Alphonso, below, apprenticed three of the Atlantans here after other white shop-owners turned them down) as well as the domestic turbulence this all-consuming, travel-heavy profession can cause. D.C. artist Chris Mensah says his success as a tattooist doesn't compensate for the time he's lost with his children, and his regret is palpable.
Miya Bailey and his mentor, Julia Alphonso
At a screening at Complex magazine last week, Bailey and Jenkins discussed the film, five years in the making at shops and conventions. "We just wanted to make our moms proud," said Jenkins. Afterwards, the mother-daughter team above (top left) showed their stuff—both Bailey pieces—as did the twins Coco and Breezy Dotson (top right), sunglass designers with big hair, blue lipstick, and a collection of matching tattoos. "We get a new tattoo every time we travel together," they said. Which just keeps people guessing which twin is which.

Take what they have left and what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own....And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind...."

We Nam Brothers pause to give a backward glance, and post this remembrance to you, one of the gentle heroes lost to the War in Vietnam:
Slip off that pack. Set it down by the crooked trail. Drop your steel pot alongside. Shed those magazine-ladened bandoliers away from your sweat-soaked shirt. Lay that silent weapon down and step out of the heat. Feel the soothing cool breeze right down to your soul ... and rest forever in the shade of our love, brother.

Help Me Sketch a trip to Modena, Bologna and Parma In Modena, don't miss lunch at Hosteria Giusti. They pour a few kinds of "house" lambrusco--chilled red sparkling, wine, perfect for a hot day. Some years back (gosh, could it be 10 years ago???) we used http://www.parmagolosa.it/ for a wonderful balsamic vinegar tour with 2 kinds in tow. Interesting for all. And you may already know but this is the year of Milan Expo |
Wow! All great info. Thanks so much. |
Thanks for the info. My husband and I will be spending 4 nights in Madrid, arriving 4 June. Can anyone suggest a place not too far from our hotel that would be serving around 4-6pm? We are planning to visit the Mercato San Miguel, maybe twice. I have a real weakness for markets and street food. But the first night I would like to sit and be served. Wine? of course! Also any suggestions for paella? After that first night we will walk and/or cab to places. Gracias! |
UF grads: Do you remember a sub shop that delivered to the dorms in the early '60s? Alan's Cubana! wow... There was also (just to stroll down memory lane) Frank's Sub base, on 441, south of sin city. But that was a bit later in the 60's. |
Heading up to Venice with the family (restos and more) I like the bakery in Campo San Toma--if you're facing Ciak's it's to your left. It's more bout bread than sweets. |
Celebrating Mom's Big 60! Please critique Rome/ Pienza/ Florence itinerary! Although I am not sure how you would fit it into your Tuscan itinerary, da Roberto in Montisi (near San Quirico) is certainly worth a small detour. Passionate cooking of only the finest local ingredients is the signature of Roberto. Call first because the hours are quirky. |
Have you seen this: Please report back! I'll be spending a bit of time in Milan in June. |
Here's a copy and paste from my blog--3 years ago, Figlie delle Stelle on Giudeca: We started with a really nice, home made bread basket which included my favorite, taralli --then ordered an app-- a fava bean puree with sauteed greens and crostini. We shared a primo of spaghetti with mussels in a very light tomato sauce and the pasta was made of farro flour. It was so much better than any whole grain pasta I've tried at home! The frittura mista was next. It had lots of shrimp and squid and little fish as well as vegetables. Gotta love fried food! We shared everything but couldn't finish the frittura. Bill was 60.50. Hope this helps a bit. |
What do you like? wine or not? Where is your hotel? Answers will come but narrow it down a bit, please. |
Madrid - a first timer's experience Gracias! |
We just had a very nice dinner at V on 30 A. I had grilled mahi on roasted vegetables and was perfectly cooked and very tasty. |
Florence restaurant recommendations Sounds like you would enjoy Zeb. |
Help with our trip to Italy April 2014 One idea, in general, is to make your "big" meal lunch which would be a bit less $$$ and then do something smaller for dinner. that being said, La SchaicchiaVino in Florence is a great little lunch spot. |
[Venice] Anice Stellato or Alle Testiere for Saturday dinner in January? I like both. a lot. The good thing about Anice Stellato is that there's more variety on the menu. If you find you're not in the mood for seafood you will still have lots of options and I think the desserts are better. Win/win, for sure. |
Help Us Plan Our Destination - Panhandle Beach With Best Food South Walton, (Seaside, Seagrove, Watercolor, Rosemary, etc.) 30A, without a doubt! |
It was about 3 years ago but we had a wonderfully simple, working man's lunch at Da Giovani. http://www.trattoriadagiovanni.com/ Don't forget the senape e cren (mustard and freshly grated horseradish.) |
Help--12 people need great Italian Here's my experience at Macchialina: We all ordered the tasting menu. Started with a very generous amuse of burrata with surprisingly tasty tomatoes. olive oil and micro greens on a crostini. The first apps were very good. The polenta was super rich as was the ragu that topped it. Loved the broccolini cesare salad. The pastas were the strongest course--all three were hearty, full of flavor and seemed hand made. The mushroom pasta was my favorite--umami city! For 6 people, they split the entrees so we were able to taste both. I thought the steak was a stronger dish, cooked very nicely. The snapper was a beautiful plate but letting it curl while cooking doesn't let the skin get crispy and it was difficult to cut that way. The desserts were good but not great, at all. I'm already tired of stuff served in a jar. Just put the tiramisu in a nice bowl! The service was not very good. The guy was friendly and likable but didn't really know the food or, especially the wine list, very well, for example I asked for a light red and he said what about the Barolo???? |
Well, if you run into some really hot weather and don't want to go south to Tuscany, I heartily recommend the Hotel Genzianella in Bormio --just north of where you finish the Bernina Express. The food is amazing with an extensive antipasti bar at dinner each night. They grow a lot of the vegetables right there behind the hotel. Everything is house made and the service in general is second to none. |
Can you be more specific than "Italian Restaurant"? I just made a reservation at Macchialina on Alton Rd. for my personal choice. I'm most interested in food quality and don't want to pay Scarpetta prices. |
Favorite cookbooks by NYC chefs Dolce Italiano--Italian dessert cookbook by Gina De Palma, formerly of Babbo. Absolutely fabulous! |
Do certain menu items put you off going to a restaurant? and Fettuccine Alfredo. |
Four days Rome, four days Venice I can recommend Estro in Venice. It's a newish (opened in June 2014) wine bar with fabulous food. It's not far from the Frari, near the well known Tonolo bakery. |
Here are my notes from diner at CoVino, June 2014: It's a very small place, open kitchen set up, only 6 tables and was, coincidentally, just written up in the NYTimes. We enjoyed everything but the flavors didn't knock me out at all. Best thing about it was Andrea who totally runs the front of the house. What a pro! We ate: very nice octopus salad, a decidedly un-Venetian baked pasta dish (which was maybe the best dish of the night--it had pecorino, becamel and ragu); Ken had sausage which he didn't love because it had a bit of cloves in it. I had some kind of "slow food" chicken which was good but I didn't love the thick sauce with it. Desserts were: tiramisu (I thought would be a lot more creative but was quite traditional) and Ken had "Fugazza" which turned out to be like Pennetone with a sauce. |
Just got take-out from Thai House 2 on 163rd St. I would give it a C-. |
Full disclosure--I have eaten at EMP under Daniel Humm 3 times and it is my favorite restaurant EVER. NoMad just isn't close enough. Maybe I expected too much but I was slightly underwhelmed. I loved the pumpkin app--great flavors especially with the citrus dressing. The duck dish was delicious but I really needed a steak knife for cutting the whole breast; it was a little "tough." My husband had the truly beautiful lobster dish but the lobster itself was short on flavor and very small. I really loved my Pimm's cup but when the cocktail is the real star of a dinner something's less than perfect. The service just didn't feel right either. We sat in the fire place room and felt too close to the other twosomes on our sides. |
Dinner at The NoMad (Restaurant) -- Recommendations Please report back. |
I Caffi is in the pedestrian zone and fabulous! |
First time in Venice- rec for light dinner on arrival? Cavatappi would be perfect. |
I think Fiaschetteria Toscana, Vini da Gigio and Al Paradiso are exacty what you are describing. La Cantina is very casual and certainly not known for their service--which is not to say they don't have wonderfully fresh food and I have twice had fantastic salad platters for lunch there. |
A day in Modena, with an acetaia thrown in Not able to answer your question but don't miss the Modena food market. It's an easy walk from Giusti, on the other side of the main piazza. I am not sure how you can plan on dinner after Giusti. We were so full! BTW--we drank the house lambrusco and loved it. The antipasto of mixed salume with gnoccho fritto was really memorable and the wine pairing was just right. They served a darker, fuller bodied lambrusco with the hot food that was also wonderful. |
