Yesterday in my Earth Day post, I posted that I was wanting to start a garden. Silly me though, I forgot that we already did kinda start.
(Left to right- lettuce, strawberries, cucumber/tomato, basil)
For Christmas this past year I got my mom a little basil kit that you grow in side on a window sill. We finally got around to planting it and have got a nice little basil plant going. Mercy loves helping to water it, so when I was out shopping the other week, I picked up another little kit. This one was specifially aimed towards kids (Disney's Cars themed) and came with cucumber and tomato seeds, along with a little plastic lid to make a little green house. Those things have been growing like their on steroids! Then today at our local farmers market my sister and picked up some veggie starters from a local organic farm. We got some strawberries and green leaf lettuce. Now we just need to get some planters so I can transplant them and move them out onto our deck. I'm also hoping to get green peppers, broccoli, onions, and maybe a few other things to grow to. I'm excited!

I love reading knitting magazines. I haven't checked that one out yet. Have you seen the Verena knitting magazine that just came out? It was full of fun patterns.

I just bought this mag last week too and love it. I liked the socks that are inspired by a kimono, although to me they have the look of ballet slippers - I want to knit them in pink.
I am off to England for a 2 week trip to visit my family on Friday and plan on buying every knitting magazine I get my eyes on :-)

I love going into borders, loading up with all the knitting magazines and whiling away an hour over a strawberries and cream while I browse the magazines. The if there are more than 3 patterns I like I buy the magazine. I like the Opulent Raglan too, what a sweet neckline.

The first shot was taken on a Polaroid SX70 Sonar camera. The film is PX70 PUSH! from The Impossible Project.
As a comparison, the next two shots were taken on a Polaroid SX70 Alpha camera using The Impossible Project's new PX680 film. I was using a beta test pack, so it has some tiny white specks, but those are sure to disappear when the real stuff rolls out on May 5th!
The next two were taken on a Polaroid Spectra System camera using expired Softtone film.
The last three shots were all taken on my Polaroid 430 land camera using expired 690 film.
As you can tell from the last photo, the storm didn't last terribly long. Within a couple of hours it was all but spent and the clouds really started to dissipate. Our pup did awesome for all the new stuff we were throwing at her on this excursion, and we really enjoyed being out in nature.

"You have to fail in order to practice being brave." ~ Mary Tyler Moore
Tyler Moore encourages people to continue trying. One should never
discontinue trying something out of fear of failure. In life there will
always be failure. There will always be success as well. Internally one
should always balance out his/her successes against the failures that
were found along the way. The recovery from a brain injury is always
riddled with failures along the way. The trick is to not give up the
pursuit of gaining things back. True success never comes without its
fair share of failures.
The recovery from a brain injury
is by far the strangest phenomena that I have ever experienced. You are
forever bonded with citizens who have gone through a similar experience.
Every survivor goes through an unbelievable spectrum of ups and downs. I
have a shared the importance of joining a community where you can feel
safe to express your thoughts and emotions as you proceed on in your
recovery. I can promise that the recovery from a brain injury will
certainly have many opportunities for a person to display bravery and
There is always the temptation to throw your
hands up and give up; it is incredibly important not to do so. Through
support groups survivors can observe others who are in varying different
levels of his or her recovery. In speaking and discussing with others
who have proceeded further in his or her recovery, an individual can
realize that they are not alone. I always gained an incredible amount of
encouragement by speaking with others who traveling along similar paths
to myself. I welcome any comments that you may have. Thank you very
much for reading.

London, July 24 (IANS) Singer-actor Harry Styles was overwhelmed while working for his film "Dunkirk" as the place in real world witnessed a loss of thousands of lives during the Second World War.
The 23-year-old says shooting "Dunkirk" on the place where the real World War II evacuations took place and where almost 70,000 lives were lost, brought home the scale of the tragedy to the cast and crew and they all felt a lot of "respect" for the "energy" of the French coast, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
"I think everyone was very aware of where we were. There was a sense of knowing it happened there, which comes across on screen. The first thing for me was just real shock at the size of the beach. You try to imagine it filled with men and filled with bodies," Styles told The Sun newspaper.
"The area has an energy which people respect because it's difficult to do anything else."
"It's quite overwhelming. And I think being there — as opposed to just in a film studio — left no room for complaints for the whole crew. Filming was very physical, but I think everyone was aware that in comparison to the real soldiers' experience, we weren't going through much at all," he added.
The "Sign of the Times" singer was desperate to get a role in the movie as soon as he heard about director Christopher Nolan's plans.
"When I first heard about the project, I think it was something that — even before it started filming — I was already excited to watch," he said.

LA PAZ, Feb 6 (Reuters) - Bolivia's consumer price index rose 0.3 percent in January as heavy rains and flooding prompted a spike in food prices, the official National Statistics Institute said on Tuesday.
Economy Minister Mario Guillén told reporters that 2018 inflation would total 4.5 percent, higher than the 2.71 percent figure in 2017. The government said it would take action to stabilize the prices of basic goods in the coming months, given the expected continued rise in food prices.

I ve been waiting for one of these to open in Kansas City for forever, after seeing them in many other cities. If you work on your own car, you need to know and try this place out. It s a place to go and work on your own car in an air conditioned, roomy facility. They ve got 4-post lifts ($20/hour), 2-post lifts ($15/hour) and open bays ($10/hour) all for rent, plus a wide selection of tools and specialty automotive tools for you to use at no additional cost.
Those prices are incredibly cheap, especially when you consider the alternative – jackstands and lying on your back in your own (likely) non-air conditioned garage. The facility is open seven days a week but weekdays require an appointment. On weekends, just give them a call to make sure they have a spot and head on over there.
I used one of the open bays to do a complete polish/wax on my car – the lighting is pretty decent for that kind of job, and I had plenty of space to work. I brought all my own detailing supplies/tools though – they don t have those to use.
David, the manager, is a great guy and this is a fantastic resource for car enthusiasts in Kansas City, so I hope we all support this place and help him build a strong business. Otherwise, it s back to the jackstands/lying on your back!
And one other note, they re also a distributor of Amsoil products and have the cheapest prices I ve seen in KC.

Whether I am on vacation or hanging out with friends, there is nothing I like better than a relaxing drink. Typically, I am a wine drinker. I like reds, whites and especially champagne! Occasionally I may stray from the course and have a cocktail if the situation warrants. For example, the Bangkok bar where I finally had my first Cosmo. Yes. I know. Lame for me to have never tried one before. Thanks Dana, Katie & Ronna!! Dopey me, I always assumed that Cosmos would be sweet and avoided them. But as I discovered, they are not sweet, but more tart.
Which brings me to my latest find. Prior to the Julia Clancey Spring/Summer 2011 show at the Palihouse in West Hollywood, Julia hosted a reception in the hotel lobby. The sponsor of the event was a beverage that I had not been aware of before. Fresita, a strawberry flavored high quality rosé sparkling wine from Chile. My first reaction, like with Cosmos, was to think that it would be too sweet and almost dismissed it without trying it. As I said earlier, I love champagne and having grown up going to the Champagne region a lot, I admit to being a bit of a champagne snob. But how bad could it be, right? Since they were sponsoring the event, I figured that I should at least give it a try. So with misgivings, I took a glass of Fresita.
And the verdict? I was very pleasantly surprised!! A nice light sparkling wine with the taste of fresh strawberries. Only mildly sweet, Fresita proved to be light and refreshing and before I knew it I had finished one glass and moved on to a second. The thing that impressed me the most about it was that it truly captured the aroma and flavor of fresh strawberries, as if a real strawberry was in the glass. Kind of like the strawberry version of a Bellini, but less sweet. Fresita is 100% natural, no artificial colorings or flavourings, with 3% of its make up being crushed strawberries. And yes, those of you that know me know that the crimson color is appealing to me too. :-)
When I got home, I found the Fresita website and explored further. The website is full of humorous videos about this delish beverage and you can even find out where to buy it at a nearby store or sample it at a local restaurant. I have already found a local store that carries it and will be buying a bottle to try nicely chilled at home!

Brighton daily photo will recommence tomorrow after a short period away. Over the past few weeks I've been lucky enough to visit the Sultanate of Oman with my work and also spend a whole week on holiday with my family and parents in Devon in the UK. Here's a short selection of shots from the past two weeks. Normal service resumes tomorrow.
Tuesday, June 06, 2006
I'm back - and I feel an explanation must be offered - a mixture of holiday and work stuff has kept me from my PC for a few weeks and the same will happen again this Saturday for another two weeks. I shall be seeing Oman and Devon (contrasting aren't they!). My sincerest apologies for those checking in for a daily photo but normal service will be resumed asap. So for now here's a photo of the exterior entrance to the Brighton Dome.

Global security threatenedSeptember 21, 2010 - 9:59AM
The United Nations and national governments are ill prepared to tackle the rapidly evolving threats to world peace and security, a joint US-EU report says.
Thanks to globalisation, what used to be "localised threats are no longer locally containable", says the "Global Governance 2025" report compiled by the US National Intelligence Council and the European Union Institute of Security Studies.
These include ethnic conflicts, infectious diseases and terrorism and "a new generation of global challenges including climate change, energy security, food and water scarcity, international migration flows and new technologies", says the report released on Monday.

This isn't the first chocolate cake that I have made, and certainly not the first one I have eaten. It is, however, MY first chocolate cake. This was my idea and my recipe.
I always liked baking because it was such an exact science. If you followed the recipe, you would get the right result. Cooking isn't always as exact, but then again, there is more room for error. That's why I do almost all of my baking with recipes, but play and experiment often with cooking.
Let's face it though. My "original" recipes for cooking are often made up of multiple recipes that already exist that I have cobbled together into something new. Sometimes I will use someone else's "base" recipe and simply change the bells and whistles. Why can't I do that with baking?
That still can make for an original baking recipe.
I have occasionally made up my own baked good recipes. Some have been better than others. My Tiramisu bars were the first flop ever recorded on TERP. My Orange Bourbon Pound Cake, on the other hand, was one of the best cakes I ever made (and it wasn't even chocolate!) I think I know enough about cakes and baking to come up with a cake.
Monday I had my last day off from Thanksgiving break before going back to work. I was broke, the weather was crappy, and I was stuck alone at home. It's days like these that just beg for baking. I had a decent number of supplies in the house. I had some squares of unsweetened chocolate, some milk that was getting close to expiration, butter, sugar, eggs, and flour. Why not make a chocolate cake? The real question was what chocolate cake would I make? I have endless chocolate cake recipes (as last summer proved). Why was one better than the other?
I decided to make a bold move. I would take a look at a bunch of my chocolate cake recipes, see which elements they had in common in terms of ingredient measurements, and then use those proporations to put together a cake of my own. I've baked enough cakes over the years to know the process of baking a cake. All I really needed was a good idea of the right ingredient measurements. With a little research I was able to come up with a recipe that I felt would succeed using flour, butter, eggs, milk, and, in Ina Garten fashion, a pinch of coffee powder.
The cake had a very nice deep chocolate flavor that wasn't cloyingly sweet. The texture was fluffy and almost had a melt-in-your-mouth quality. I think this may be my new recipe for whenever I need a go-to-chocolate cake. It's that good. It is a cake I have to handle with care though. That "fluffy" texture means it's very light and delicate. If I made this into a layer cake, I would have to be verrrrrry careful moving the layers around.
I might want to tinker with this from time to time though. Maybe I'll try different dairy ingredients, different types of flour (how might cake flour change the texture?), or different proportions of eggs and butter.
I didn't have anything to make a frosting. I had to eat it plain. Oh well. I could try to develop a new chocolate frosting recipe, but I don't think there is a chocolate frosting recipe out there that I like better than the one Emily uses on the chocolate peanut butter cake.
The Short (dis)Order Cook's Chocolate Cake
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2 sticks unsalted butter
4 oz unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup light brown sugar
3 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1 Tbl instant coffee powder
1 cup milk
Heat oven to 350. Grease and flour 9"x13" pan
In a bowl sift togther flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa. Set aside.
In a large bowl cream butter for about 2 minutes until you have a nice, soft, workable fluff. Add sugars and beat another 3 minutes until all is fluffy and beautiful.
Beat in eggs, one at a time, mixing about 1 minute after each addition. Stir in vanilla, coffee, and melted chocolate. Blend well.
Stir in flour mixture and milk alternately in about 4 batches, ending with the flour. When all is absorbed into a happy cake batter, spread into prepared pan.
Bake 40 minutes or until it springs back when you lightly touch it and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Odds & Ends
I was cruel to not include the links for my Thanksgiving bread recipes. Forgive me. I lost them when I first typed up that blog. I found them again.
Cranberry Walnut Bread
Rosemary Rolls
I confess I have no clue how to use my Foodbuzz account and so I don't go to FB very often. I keep a Foodbuzz ad on my blog, but I don't have that big one that some of my friends do that beautifully displays the food of the day.
Lucky for me, my friends do display that nice big ad, because I found a great recipe on it. As soon as I saw these "Naked Ravioli" I knew I had to make them for dinner. After all that turkey, I needed something less meaty for dinner.
I made my own marinara recipe instead of the one listed here, but otherwise, followed the recipe and it was delicious. SPP liked it too.

Chelsea Manning's prison sentence has been reduced from 35 years to 7 years by President Obama. The Army soldier was convicted back in 2013 after leaking hundreds of thousands classified documents about US national security activities to WikiLeaks. Its estimated that Manning leaked approximately 750,000 classified documents.
The content of the leaked documents includes military intelligence in Iraq and Afghanistan, diplomatic cables and video files that show US strikes against terrorists. Unfortunately, one of the instance shows strikes that claimed the lives of two Reuters journalists.
Obama has granted Manning clemency and as a result he admits that the massive leak of classified intelligence information was damaging but not so damaging to call for a 35 year prison sentence. However, Manning's leak is arguably the most damning US intelligence leak ever.
In comparison to the John Podesta's email, Manning's intelligence leak is worse in relation to the US national security. Surprisingly, the establishment is up in arms calling for a heavy retaliation for Podesta's email leaks.
Its important to note that Chelsea Manning has pleaded guilty and admitted to the intelligence breach. As for the DNC leak, no evidence has been provided to the public that proves the Russian state was behind the hack. This begs the question as to whether the Democrats and their outgoing President Barack Obama, are gravely concerned about Russian election hacking to the extent that they are willing to impose sanctions on Russia and expel Russian diplomats and even call for war with Russia, without any evidence or are they simply unleashing a political ploy to ruin President-elect Donald Trump and excuse Hillary Clinton from running the most pathetic election in history.
For any reasonable individual, its hard to believe that John Podesta's email were worthy enough for conflict with Russia, but Manning's classified document release that exposed the highest level of US military intelligence information is now considered forgivable.

What's the best part of raising a family in Canada?
Canada is a beautiful country... from the east to the west coast... and we are a country where individuals are proud to say they are Canadian. Je suis Canadien!! We live in a country where we have our freedom and for that I am thankful for that every day! I also celebrate Canada's incredible diversity. It allows society, which includes our children, to learn about different ways of life... different ways of seeing the world. As a special needs parent this is so important, as our society, in comparison to a lot of other areas in the world, is doing a pretty job of 'learning' to be more accepting of those that are differently-abled.

Eco-Friendly Chef Rich Mead of Sage Restaurants cooked a sit-down dinner for 192 as part of The Ecology Center's first annual "Green Feast" at South Coast Farms in San Juan Capistrano. The meal was served family-style in the middle of the field, where Mead showcased locally-grown vegetables, seafood and meats, emphasizing the connection from farm to table. Chef John Sedlar (of Rivera Restaurant, Los Angeles) was also on hand to create his signature hand-made herb and flower-infused tortillas. Other notable Chefs on hand included Abe, Paul Buchanan, Reuben Gerber, Paddy Glennon, Ian Hill, Kris Kirk, David Womack and students from the Laguna Culinary Arts.

Just like the State Fair, your guests will walk up to one of the most impressive games available for indoor use. The horse race is truly a crowd stopper from its chrome edged stools, to the flashing overhead lights, to the sound system it's impossible to walk past. The only rival to the look of the Roll A Ball is the action the guests receive. From the sound of the bell, the cue balls are released simultaneously to all players, starting the rolling frenzy as they attempt to propel their horses to the finish line. To even the odds, there are nine holes in which the balls can go. Three run, three trot, and three walk. The race ends to the sound of a bell, the corresponding numbered light of the winning player stays light so all know who won. The balls are lock back up in the unit, the horses return the starting line, and the race is ready to run again. We have both an 8 player and 10 player horse race available for any event. The horse race rental is a perfect piece for any corporate event, social gathering, or brand activation. With a wide array of customization options you can make this game your own.

Team Spirit Dress
Added Mar 19, 2011
by robiedodson
Austin, Texas, U...
I make this dress out of 100% cotton…I started with a pajama pattern, but tweeked it by removing the sleeves and the button placket – replacing the sleeves with dainty ruffles and the button placket with loops.
As you can see by the photo, sometimes I add an extra layer for fun…and also to work as a slip.
I call it the Team Spirit Dress because it's really fun to make and wear in your favorite team's colors….Co Cowboys!
Material Notes
It looks darling in a print, but I mostly make it in solid colors. Almost always using 100% cotton, but I've also used blends and wool.

This is the first time I've felt comfortable inside a car dealership. Raymond treated me with respect and carefully explained anything I didn't understand. He worked with my budget and I was able to drive off with a new car (to me) for the new year. I smiled the whole drive home. Thank you Raymond for not losing patience with all my questions and negotiation. A win-win compromise, the great compromise.
Ray and Maria were amazing in being available to answer all my questions. There were a few hitches in the buying process but Ray did an amazing job keeping in touch and making sure I was satisfied with my purchase.
This was the best dealership experience I have ever had ! Start to finish was outstanding! Raymond Lewis is phenomenal! He was patient with me . He never made me feel rushed or foolish for asking simple questions multiple times . I felt like I was being taken care of and not pushed into anything. Same goes with Johnny Mora . Everything with the financing was explained in such a way that made it easy for me to follow and understand! Both individuals made the DTLA Toyota organization shine today !
Good experience leasing a 2019 Highlander LE Plus. Internet Sales Ray Lewis was very responsive and transparent through email, phone, and in person. Pricing was very competitive. Worth the extra drive
Friendly staff. No pressure from the internet staff. I would return to this dealer. But, do your homework ahead of time and check Costco pricing, if your a member.
Ray was a pleasure! Very patient with me and my mother and gave us the beat deal possible. He was honest about the cars which made the decision making easier
Knowing what you want helps a lot. If you don't Raymond will help you to the full extent he can. Positive and real answers
Ray provided excellent customer and ensured I left with the car I wanted. He took his time and explained the differences of each car to me and my family. He went up and beyond what was expected. I would definitely refer him to others.
I went in because I had an issue with the previous truck I had purchased and Ray Lewis help me out commit everything just right one of the best sales men's I've ever dealt with
Ray was great and the experience was quick and painless! He answered all my questions and got me exactly what I needed to drive off the lot with a smile
No phone calls No pushy agent Professionalsm Great human been Patience he showed me mkre than 2 hrs cars Fair price I like his way to sell !' Extremely recomend him RAY YOU MY MAN!!
Ray was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. I truly felt like he got me the best deal. Great customer service. All around great experience. If you are looking for a Toyota, Rays your man!
Ray made buying a new car painless and easy. Gave me a great price on the car with all the features I wanted. Will shop here again!
Came to the dealership after shopping around for two weeks, the staff I worked with made the experience quick and easy. I left a happy customer with a pretty sweet deal for my first car.
The sales man sold the vehicle even when I was still at home. He hold his word about the price and helped me all the way through it.
The purchase of my 2019 Camry SE was hassle free, straight forward and without difficulties. Raymond, the sales man, was to the point and look for every necessary detail to make the purchase a win to win experience.
Ray was great in finding the car. The price is not the best, but the car is certified. The dealer have sufficient information on the site.
Working with Ray made the experience enjoyable. He was very friendly and took his time to listen to what I was looking for in the vehicle and pricing. I appreciate him working with me to get the deal I am satisfied with!
Hi is the Greatest dealer we had. Just pick him! Really nice service. And great price. And great friendliness. A real five star dealer you must pick.
Raymond Lewis made my purchase simple and easy. He was very friendly professional and welcoming. The car was pulled up and ready for me to view and take for a test drive! Thank you Ray!
I was referred to this dealership by the Costco auto program. When I called Philip, he was extremely helpful and so efficient. He asked a couple of questions and by the time I got to the dealership first thing the next morning, all the paperwork on his end was ready. It was the easiest, smoothest, most stress-free experience of buying a car! I would highly recommend getting your car from Philip. He definitely works with you and makes you feel confident about your purchase. He is also extremely knowledgeable and can answer any questions. Definitely a straight shooter...
Philip is a wonderful, considerate and intelligent dealer who helped our family get a great car for a fantastic deal. He handled the process with care and is incredibly personal. Also, he recommended a great restaurant afterwards because we were super hungry. Thanks Philip!
My daughter and I came to this dealership thinking about getting two new cars. We came to this dealership and Philip helped us out right away. He is extremely knowledgeable and helped us get our cars with great ease. If you ever go to Toyota of Downtown L.A., ask for Philip! He won't disappoint you, and you will walk out of that dealership with a huge smile on your face and a brand new car.
I requested information through Costco and was contacted by Philip immediately. From the start, Philip was professional, accommodating and knowledgeable. When I let Philip know that I had a tight schedule on that day, he went through the trouble of having the car detailed and gassed up before I arrived. He was very thorough when explaining the car's many features, and gave very clear information every step of the way, in particular when talking about my financing options. I will definitely seek Philip out for our next car purchase!
When I was searching for a new vehicle, Philip was able to help me out better than any other associates at Longo Toyota, Culver City Toyota, Toyota of Orange, Toyota of North Hollywood, and other dealerships around Los Angeles and Orange County. He treated me with true service, both quickly responding to my needs and making sure we could find the best price possible. Philip and his team cut straight to the chase too, there was no extra runaround or fluff sales. I was able to roll away in the exact car I wanted for the exact price I wanted. How often can you say that? If I ever need another car, will absolutely stay with Toyota and Toyota of Downtown LA. You should too! You can thank me later!
I contacted Philip Kim regarding a purchase and he immediately provided me with his possible price, no B.S. I was able to agree to a deal with him via text the same day. When I arrived at the dealership to sign paperwork, car was already waiting for me and there were no surprises at the finance office. I would totally recommend Philip Kim and definitely contact him when I am looking for another Toyota.👍
I was in the market for a new truck and this dealership was awesome! It's the biggest toyota dealership i have ever seen and the staff was super professional and friendly. They had a wide range of trucks for me to choose from and my salesman Philip Kim was very knowledgeable and professional.
I talked with Phillip on the phone before going in. He was easily the most helpful sales person I've dealth with when buying a car. There were a few snags with finance processing the paperwork. Phil was on top of it and checked in with me periodically to ensure things were moving forward.
The sales rep Philip knows Toyota cars well and explained us the details of the cards. He does not recommend wrong things and provide prompt servies. The Toyota also delivered the same or better car w/o changing the promised price.
I had excellent service from Philip Kim. I was so impressed with his customer service demeanor and how patient he was with my questions and concerns. This type of service is a thing of the past. I went through the Costco Auto Program which eliminated the haggling. Philip contacted me to set up an appointment, took down all the info of what I wanted, reconfirmed on the day of my visit and had the vehicle waiting for me when I arrived. Philip was such a gentleman, personable and yet very professional. He is definitely an asset to the dealership. I also had a very nice Finance person, Aurelio Lopez. He too was very patient with my many questions. I would and have recommended Downtown Toyota.
The sales man Phil Kim is nice and help me to make the deal thru . And Toyota down town LA is very convinience for me.
Philip displayed excellent customer satisfaction! My finance manager as well as Philip displayed great professionalism. I would highly recommend friends and family to go to them for their New/Used purchase!
All the way browsing around the dealers near LA, but the price and finance rate were the best. And Philip Kim, the sales guy and Georges Kalaja, the finance guy are super kind and friendly.
Philip Kim provides straightforward numbers and made it easy to buy a new Sienna. I highly recommend contacting Philip for your next Toyota. After working with three other Toyota dealerships Internet Departments, I found Toyota Downtown LA to be not only aggressive in pricing but also the easiest to work with.
Hank was so very helpful. I was double minded on which car was right for me. Hank was very patient and compared different cars and got us in the car that was right for me and my family.
Everyone was great to work with. We're so glad we bought from this dealership. My husband loves his 4Runner. He's the happiest guy ever!
I used the Costco buying program and it was quick and Painless. Hank showed me all my options and walked me right through the process while making sure I got a great deal. I didn't know buying a car could be this easy.
Everything good only I don't like finance guys he is very rude . Internet Person his very nice and helpful!! Love downtown Toyota . Thank you
Hank was really great in helping us with my 2019 Toyota Camry Hybrid. We knew what we wanted and Hank helped us get there. He was very straight to the point which is much appreciated.
First I must say that I really, really hate buying cars and I was also fighting a cold during our experience with DTLA Toyota. With that said, my girlfriend and I really had a good experience buying our car here. Hank and Jaime were straight forward with no pressure and didn't trying playing the normal games with numbers that we're used to. We went in knowing exactly what we wanted with a pre-approved loan from my bank. Although, we already had a pretty low interest rate, Hank was able to offer us an even lower one through Toyota. I must also mention that Hank gave me an awesome price on the car that we were looking for over the phone so we drove all the way from Huntington Beach to lock it down. I'm sure that somebody might have beat his offer by hundred bucks or so, but because he was so straight forward over the phone and we had already dealt with some sneaky salespersons from about ten other dealerships the previous two weeks, we were happy to give him our business. I highly recommend buying your vehicle from DTLA Toyota as well as asking for Hank when you get there!
Estoy encantado con el servicio, la atención de todos sus empleados en especial Hank wow fue muy atento y servicial. Y claro que lo recomendaría.
Hank was great and straight to the point. Once I made my mind up we were off and running. I felt I got the deal I was looking for. Excellent experience. Customer service was top notch.
Great customer services and they help you with what pricing for leasing a car. They also explain on what topic you dont understand to make it clear to you.
I have purchased many vehicles in the past, and the experienced that I received in dealing with Hank surpassed all previous buying experiences. Dealing with Hank was simple and stress free. I had previously worked with other dealerships but I was not convinced that I was getting the best deal. After speaking with Hank, within minutes, I knew I was getting a great deal. We agreed on a purchase price before stepping into the dealership. When we arrived at the dealership to purchase our vehicle, we were pleasantly surprised with how nice the dealership showed. Everyone that we met was pleasant and very professional.
John Vega did such an amazing job at helping me make a new purchase. He was very professional, respectable, and patient with helping me meet my car needs. I felt in really safe hands, being a first-time buyer. I valued his honesty and diligence with working with the Toyota family to make my experience an exceptional one. I highly recommend others to come to him if they want an amazing car deal. I feel that I am now a a part of the Toyota family and I will most definitely do business with him and DTLA dealership again in the future.
From the first phone call to the sale conclusion, John was honest and straightforward and I knew they were giving me the best deal on my 2018 Prius Touring Three. I called around to five other dealerships, and none of the other dealers came close to giving us the low price that Downtown Toyota gave us. The dealership building itself is new and not depressing, and the financial guy who finished the deal was also nice and straightforward. I had a great experience. I wouldn't go anywhere else for a Toyota.
I been to manny car dealership Toyota of downtown la is the best and John is even better , Jame is friendly also and kind person
Everyone was great to work with. We're so glad we bought from this dealership. My husband loves his 4Runner. He's the happiest guy ever!
The salesman, Richard Silva, was friendly, professional and very helpful. He made sure we got the car we wanted at a great price. We never felt pressured by either the salesman or finance. It was a great experience.
All the way browsing around the dealers near LA, but the price and finance rate were the best. And Philip Kim, the sales guy and Georges Kalaja, the finance guy are super kind and friendly.
In the past, I hated all the time wasted on haggling. I would always feel cheated. But not this time working with Jin Chun. The price was settled quick and easy
Jin chun is my Internet salesman. He is cool and friendly. When I was at the car dealership, I didn't feel any pressure choosing a car. Some salesman will try to push you buying a car right now or certain time. He didn't. I believe the first impression is very important. He answered all my question about the car. I would recommend him without hesitation for shopping a car.
Julio Garcia @DTLA Toyota was great and a pleasure to work with. Located the vehicle I was interested and provided me a great deal. Thank you to all at DTLA Toyota.
The service center makes sure to take care of my car in a timely manner and see that my needs are met. I will continue bringing my car here even after my warranty runs out
Friendly staff. No pressure from the internet staff. I would return to this dealer. But, do your homework ahead of time and check Costco pricing, if your a member.
Was good experience people is super friendly, I like to going there always have what I need. This is my second time getting car 🚗 there am happy the experience always excellent.
Ray and Maria were amazing in being available to answer all my questions. There were a few hitches in the buying process but Ray did an amazing job keeping in touch and making sure I was satisfied with my purchase.
Great customer services and they help you with what pricing for leasing a car. They also explain on what topic you dont understand to make it clear to you.

Source: Edmunds* The world's first and most successful mass-produced hybrid car, the Toyota Prius hybrid continues to expand its dominance. If you're looking for the best fuel economy in the hybrid field, the Prius' 51cty/48 hwy mpg rating is still king. The plug-in model also allows for more options and with the ability to run solely on electric power at ratings of 95 MPGe. The driver is given a range of performance options via the EV, Eco, and Power buttons, which allow for variations in throttle application and fuel consumption. In EV mode, the Prius hybrid functions solely on electric power (speed and miles permitting), while the Power mode setting delivers the full potential of the gasoline engine assisted by the electric motor. The Eco mode setting is probably the most useful of the three, allowing the Prius' computer to modify the throttle response for the best balance of fuel consumption and performance. The Toyota Prius hybrid hatchback features an interior as modern and different as its exterior. The available Solar Roof is embedded with solar panels that can power a fan to circulate ambient air through the cabin when parked in direct sunlight. The contoured dash looks particularly handsome with its 2-tone panels. The Prius' sheet metal is designed to cheat the wind, with sharp-edged creases and flush glass panels. Even the car's wheel covers are aerodynamic. Available safety features include Dynamic Radar Cruise Control which can regulate vehicle speed when cruise control is engaged, a Pre-Collision System which can automatically apply brakes if collision is detected, and Lane Keep Assist which can give a warning notification or when Dynamic Radar Cruise Control is engaged it can gently correct steering.

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani defended President Donald Trump's chaotic White House, saying it is a by-product of change that he hoped to see after Trump was elected.
Giuliani, who was a key adviser to Trump during the election, was spotted at Reagan National Airport by a reporter from TMZ and asked, "Things seem a little scattered in the White House right now. What advice would you give to calm things down?"
The grinning Giuliani, pulling a carry-on, skipped over the White House's leak problem and fighting among staffers to say that conflict is good.
"I don't know that I want to calm things down, I want to see change," he replied. "Whenever you have change, you have disruption. On a way I kind of expected this kind of discussion to be going on."
"He [Trump] is trying to change things and trying to get America moving in a different direction," he added.
The video can be viewed at TMZ.

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Scalo Northern Italian Grill Restaurant Review: Serving upscale Italian in a cleanly contemporary dining room in the midst of the action around Nob Hill, Scalo is one of Albuquerque's most reliable dining destinations. Overall the menu isn't exactly groundbreaking, but it does have its inspired moments --- think braised short rib agnolotti, branzino with forest mushrooms and orange beurre blanc, braciole made with Berkshire pork rather than the usual beef, or a refreshing insalata tossed with grilled eggplant, white beans and Gorgonzola. And the classics are worth considering as well, from elegant carpaccio with crostini to homey veal piccata. Desserts likewise run the gamut from standard-issue tiramisu to unusual polenta pound cake. As for the wine list --- which resides largely in the $30 to $60 range --- its emphasis is naturally on Italian pours, but the New World is a secondary focus, including a few local selections (New Mexico is, after all, an emerging producer). In summer, the patio is the place to people-watch, but live music adds a festive touch to the atmosphere several nights a week year-round. Sunday brunch is a welcome change of pace too; try the bruschetta with mint-spiked, honeyed ricotta and house marmalade or the frittata with white truffles and pancetta.

i watched josh shine both as a teacher and a musician
last nite as he combined his cd release party with his
student's recital, the monster jam.
how fun!
his brothers and i arrived early to help set up.
and um....well.......he needed the help.
and we stayed late and helped clean up.
on the way home noah was marveling at how smoothly
josh can keep the whole thing running. he commented
on how he would never be able to hook up an 8 year old
and his guiter, keep talking, and keep the show going.
but josh could do it with ease and grace.
or how he joked thru the goof ups and kept everyone
and then he said 'and yet, he can't remember to
bring anything he's sposed to bring to the party.'
and i laughed. and loved it.
cause it was a completely honest appreciation and
puzzlement of josh.
he was about as disorganized as you get last nite,
and we just kinda kept glancing at each other, wondering
how this guy got thru life.
and then.....we watched him light up the room and
make everyone in that room feel like they mattered
and that they were special.
it's got me thinking about our strong points and weak points.
that's actually been something that's been running thru
me all week, altho i didn't have those words for them.
strengths and weaknesses. and how they all interact with
everyone else's....and the whole mishmash it creates.
josh is interesting to me as he reminds me a lot of his dad
that way.
his dad drove me crazy with that stuff.
josh doesn't make me crazy like that.
i keep thinking of that.
and different relationships.
different expectations.
different levels of patience.......
and why?
they sure do matter, don't they?
i gotta check mine often.

Moms observing their boys turn into men....it's amazing what feelings and thoughts come to us, isn't it, as we review the absolute unconditional love we have for them...that we "maybe" didn't extend to other important "men" men in our lives! (did that even make sense? LOL)
Sounds like a wonderful evening was had by all. Kudos to Josh!
I'll never forget the first time I saw my son and his band perform. He was the lead singer. I showed up to the bar, which was already packed out, and remember being 'son-struck'. NOT because I liked the music so much - it's a genre I don't really get. But it was my son that I couldn't take my eyes off of! Who was this man, dancing around, singing, intereacting??? Certainly not the quiet, keep-to-himself person I was 'used' to. It was definitely a change in perspective!

The effect of an expanding microchannel cross-section on flow boiling critical heat flux (CHF) is experimentally investigated across four rates of expansion. A pumped-loop apparatus is developed to boil R-134a in an array of microchannels cut into copper; a test section is designed to facilitate interchange of the microchannel specimens, allowing consistency across experiments. An optimum expansion angle allowing maximum heat flux is observed, the location of which increases with the mass flow rate. The boiling number does not indicate any optimum in the range observed, showing a nearly monotonic increase with expansion angle. The familiar increase in critical heat flux with mass flux is observed, though expansion shifts the CHF-mass flux curves in a favorable direction. The existence of an optimum expansion angle confirms an earlier qualitative hypothesis by the authors and suggests that microchannel heat sinks offer opportunities for methodical improvement of flow boiling stability and performance.

The Pygora Goat is fluffy, soft, beautiful and comes in many exciting colors. The breed derived initially by breeding a registered National Pygmy Goat Association (NPGA) Pygmy and a registered American Angora Goat Breeders Association (AAGBA) Angora. Since 1987 Pygoras have been a registered breed, known as the Pygora Breeders Association.
Welcome to Hollyhock Hollow. I, Jill Gallagher along with my husband Jim, have been raising Pygoras since 1989. Pygora kids start arriving in early March here in Santa Margarita which is located in the mountains in beautiful San Luis Obispo County in California, USA.
Pygoras breed true to type when bred Pygora to Pygora. Mature animals minimum size at the withers are 18 inches for does and 23 inches for bucks. My Pygoras are on the larger size with does at 22 and 23 inches and bucks and wethers at 23 to 25 inches.
Feb. 2014 - We have kids! Watch the video and contact me if you are interested in Pygora bucklings.
Pygoras make great pets and wonderful fleece/fiber animals.
A $50 deposit holds your pick number on a kid born each season, and for this price you get a video of the kids born that year.
Shipping of your kid will be the buyers responsibility.
Any questions please E-mail me email@example.com.

are at least 5 years post diagnosis and 2 years post active therapy and their
parents/guardians will be approached to participate during clinic visits. If the patient and
guardian agree to participate, they will be administered three questionnaires in the clinic
during the patient's visit. From the medical record, the following variables will be
utilized to characterize the subjects and estimate which groups are at greatest risk of
sleep disturbances:
- Specific brain tumor diagnosis
- Location of tumor (cerebral hemispheres, parasellar region, posterior fossa, or spine)
- Age at diagnosis
- Treatment modality (surgery, radiation therapy, and/or chemotherapy vs. observation
Observational Model: Cohort, Time Perspective: Prospective
Sleep disturbance in a cohort of pediatric brain tumor survivors.
Estimate the rates of parent- and self-reported excessive daytime sleepiness in pediatric brain tumors Estimate the rates of parent-reported sleep-disordered breathing, including snoring and witnessed apneas, in pediatric brain tumor survivors Estimate the rates of parent- and self-reported behavioral sleep problems, including nocturnal enuresis, bedtime resistance, nighttime awakenings, nightmares, and fatigue in pediatric brain tumor survivors.

Sámi National Day is February 6, which is celebrated in memory of the first Sámi congress in Trondheim in 1917.
Sámi is used to name the Lappish people, the indigenous population of Sápmi (northern Norway, Sweden, Finland and Kola peninsula in Russia).
Twitter Moment
Sámi National Day
Sámi Flag
The joint flag dates back to 1986. It was then that it was approved by the Nordic Sami Council at a conference in Åre. The flag was designed by Astrid Båhl from Skibotn in Norway, and neither the colours nor the symbols are there by chance.
The circle is a symbol for both the sun and the moon. The sun circle is red and the moon circle is blue. The flag's colours – red, blue, green and yellow – are the same as in the traditional Sami costume, the "kolt". The colours are symbols for things that are important for survival, red for fire, green for plants and nature, yellow for the sun and blue for water.

It was another bad day on the Street again today. Sun Microsystems issued an earnings warning yesterday after the bell, the same day that Goldman Sachs cut their own earnings estimates for both Sun And EMC. Sun is warning that profits could be 1/3 of what they had forecast and blamed the Asian and European markets for slowing sales of their midrange servers (the Wall Street Journal has an excellent report). This helped set the stage for another round of losses in tech stocks as traders moved to lock in gains scored during the last two months before they eroded any further. From a Reuters report:
"Certainly Sunis earnings warning was much worse than expected and weighing heavily on technology stocks," said Tim Ghriskey, senior portfolio manager at mutual fund company Dreyfus Corp. "Thereis been a big run-up in tech stocks since April 3 and the sector was really due for a correction."
Possibly signifying a more aggressive bearish trend, volume picked up with the sell off, helping to propel the Dow below 11000 for the first time in 10 trading sessions. The Nasdaq saw just shy of 2 billion shares trade hands, with the Dowis volume clocking in at 1.1 billion.
Gateway stepped up the PC price war today by announcing that it would beat advertised prices from Dell, HP, Compaq, Sony, Toshiba, and IBM. Dell, Compaq, and Gateway have been competing on the pricing front in the face of slowing PC sales for the last two quarters. In a world of boring beige boxes running really bad operating systems from Microsoft, it would seem there isnit all that much more they can do. Dell and Gateway in particular seem to be suffering from the delusion that increased unit sales at lower prices will somehow allow them to sustain profits. From a Reuters report:
"From our perspective, thereis been a price war in the PC industry since we opened for business in 1985 ... so weire veterans of this -- in fact, we love it," Waitt, who launched what is now the No. 4 U.S. personal computer maker from a South Dakota barn, said in a statement.
History has shown again and again that someone will be an eventual loser in the price war game. The PC industry is no exception, and someone is going to exit the PC business or be bought out if this keeps up. Hear that Andrew Neff? Itis time for you to come out with yet another pronouncement to that effect. Remember, if you say something loud and long enough, reality will come around your away sooner or later. All the hardware stocks closed lower today.
Apple opened up a buck lower and steadily trended down even lower on some very strong volume. Once again, there doesnit appear to be any news driving the downward mobility except for the negative sentiment for hardware stocks in general. While no analysts have come out and said so just yet, it is often assumed that Apple will suffer lost sales as the result of any major PC price war due to the companyis specialty status. Whatever the case, AAPL traded in volume that was twice that of the last two weeksi normal, and almost twice their long term average. 13.8 million shares traded hands, and the dayis rage was 19.30 - 21.50. This marks the first time since April 4th of this year when it closed at 19.50.
Apple closed at 19.78, a loss of 1.69 (-7.87%), on very strong volume of 13,876,900 shares trading hands.
The Nasdaq closed at 2084.50, a loss of 91.04 (-4.18%), on volume of 1,991,755,000 shares trading hands.
The Dow closed at 10872.64, down 166.50 (-1.51%), on volume of 1,154,599,000 shares trading hands.
The S&P 500 closed at 1248.08, off by 19.85 (-1.57%).
Adobe closed at 40.12, a loss of 1.56 (-3.74%), on light volume of 3,372,500 shares trading hands.
Akamai closed at 10.05, a loss of 1.08 (-9.70%), on volume of 3,016,600 shares trading hands. Apple is a large shareholder of Akamai.
Earthlink was one of the recipients of this scathing condemnation of coverage of AOLis price hike and MSNis response to that hike. Earthlink announced a new Internet radio service for its subscribers. ELNK closed at 12.14, a loss of 0.77 (-5.96%), on light volume of 1,561,700 shares trading hands.
IBM closed at 112.65, a loss of 2.62 (-2.27%), on volume of 9,598,700 shares trading hands.
Macromediais closed at 22.19, a loss of 1.11 (-4.76%), on light volume of 838,900 shares trading hands.

The prodigal son. The bad boy who decided he didn't want to stay at home on the family farm. The kid who was bored and itching to go out into the world. What an idiot!
He asked his father for his inheritance ahead of time, essentially saying "you're not dying fast enough for my plans, so give me the money now", went out to see the world and experience something beyond the farm, spent all the money he had gotten on wine, women and song, realized he had made a major mistake, and came home, asking his father's forgiveness.
Yup, we know the story.
And we hear the word "prodigal," and we think that it modifies the word "son." Well, it does. It means "spending money recklessly and freely." Sure sounds like the wild boy.
I expect we know someone like this – everyone does, it seems. We may have been that boy ourselves. It's a common theme in movies and novels, and in life: we have to leave home to appreciate what we have at home, and we have to make a few mistakes along the way. We may not have done it in as dramatic a way as the bad boy in today's tale, but we recognize the urge, even as we may judge.
This kind of behavior is usually associated with a young person (or a middle-aged person, sometimes) saying "Who am I? No really…who am I?" and then the person goes out and acts in an irresponsible way to test out their perception of who they are.
Perhaps our bad boy thought "I'm not really a farmer-type. I'm a city boy. I'm a party boy. I'm a playboy. I just need to go live that life!"
So he got the cash and went to fulfill his vision of who he thought he was…until it all fell apart. And in that moment, something happened. The Gospel says "he came to himself." It's as if the veil fell from his eyes and he realized that he was not the crazy playboy city party guy…he was simply his father's son. He came to himself, and realized that he had made a mess of things, and he wanted to go home.
Like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, he wanted to click his heels and say "there's no place like home."
So he went home again, not knowing quite what he would find there. He had squandered his inheritance, he had acted like an obnoxious fool, he had insulted his father, and by extension, his whole family, by abandoning them. It would serve him right if they made him lower than the lowest slave. They owed him nothing.
But what was the response when he approached his father's land? Not scorn. Not excoriation. Not a snub and the words "you are dead to me."
No, his father was as prodigal with his forgiveness as the son had been with the spending of his inheritance. It was a reckless, wildly over-the-top forgiveness, as incomprehensible and illogical in its way as the son's behavior was. He forgave the boy's rude and heartless demand for his inheritance ahead of time. He forgave the son wasting his money on profligate living, living in a manner that rendered him ritually unclean. He forgave his son coming home with nothing to show for his adventure but pig waste under his fingernails. And this father not only forgave, but he celebrated the boy! A party!
Why? Because the boy finally came to his senses. He finally came to himself, and in coming to himself, he realized what truly mattered.
A prodigal forgiveness, beyond what any son like this one would rightfully expect for the sins he had committed.
And we think of this story of prodigal forgiveness as a marker of the new covenant that Jesus brought, a shift in mood from the Old Testament where God exacted fearful judgment on his people…
…and yet it isn't that simple.
Look at our Old Testament reading this morning. We hear the dialogue between the Lord and Joshua, as the Israelites arrive in Canaan. This is the first generation of Israelites who have no memory of Egypt. They are landed in their promised land. There is no more need for manna. They have finally and truly been released from their slavery, and God says to Joshua "Today I have rolled from you the disgrace of Egypt." Prodigal redemption from a prodigal father who loved his children despite all their murmurings, their complaints, their infidelity to him over the years of wandering. There is no love to compare to the prodigal love of such a father…
…unless we see the prodigal love that is demonstrated when the Psalmist tells his story: "Then I acknowledged my sin to you, and did not conceal my guilt. I said, 'I will confess my transgressions to the LORD.' Then you forgave me the guilt of my sin." And who is this prodigal son, this psalmist who asks the Lord's forgiveness? King David, regretting his sin of the murder of his lover's husband. Talk about reckless, prodigal squandering of the inheritance of God's blessing! And talk about the even more wildly reckless and prodigal forgiveness, spoken of in this psalm in such understated terms!
This God of the Old Testament forgives exactly as Jesus described in the parable from Luke: love trumps punishment. Forgiveness trumps recompense. Yes, God judges, but if we acknowledge our sin and ask for forgiveness, God forgives. And forgives. And forgives. The God of second chances, and third, and fourth, and fortieth.
If we have spent the previous weeks of Lent reflecting on who we are, and have seen where we have failed, where we have not lived into our promise as God's beloved children, we have the prescription for the cure here: ask for God's forgiveness. God gives it. It is as simple as that. God gives it. God sets a table for us as we come to ourselves once again, a table around which we will gather in a few minutes, a table where all of us, the prodigals of every stripe, are welcome, a table where we will be fed in ways that will help us to live into our best selves. We, too, will experience a resurrection as we join God at the table. All because of a prodigal father and his prodigal forgiveness.

Some room for improvement:
- Canoë ought to implement trackbacks in their blogs. Only comments seem to be supported at this time;
- Permalinks should be more clearly accessible. Not all readers will know that they have to click the "comments" hyperlink in order to access to permanent link to the URL post, etc.;
- On this note, some of the links in the "previous posts" section do not seem to be properly coded. For example, when I tried to access a post "Petit délice d'un..." in Jasmine's blog, although the browser displayed a permalink - that link took me to her blog home page.
Overall, a pleasant suprise to see mainstream media en français embracing blogging (timidly!), even if a few quirks need sorting out.

Submitted by alvin on Sat, 2016-07-16 16:12 New Delhi: Women in the Delhi-NCR are contributing 15 per cent of the home products sales online, a new survey revealed on Saturday, adding that women are now purchasing more advanced products like dishwashers, vacuum cleaners and washing machines online. Conducted by etailer Flipkart that has 75 million-strong consumer base for over a year looking into the buying preferences of people in Delhi-NCR, the findings revealed 20 per cent growth in its home product category, with women playing a major role. The sale of advanced home products has grown by 35 per cent in the last one year. "Shopping online is more comprehensive in comparison to real-time marketing. One can order in between work hours without worrying about delivery. Also, availability of various options, easy exchange policies and offers make online shopping more easier and it is growing," Amitesh Jha, Vice-President Home, Flipkart, told media. While the sale of mops has grown over 60 per cent in the last one year, cook-ware products have seen over 20 per cent growth. Knife blocks have seen a growth of 40 per cent while plastic products are contributing 25 per cent sales. "This trend is not only common among the working, independent women but has also picked up among homemakers who have become digitally active," Jha added. The study reveals that people are eager to reduce their dependency on plumbers, carpenters, electricians and others to get simple jobs done. They prefer buying DIY (Do It Yourself) tool kits which also enable them become new-age crafters. "Homes are turning into a reflection of one's personality triggered by beliefs, practices, hobbies, aesthetic values and choice of life, consumers now prefer to purchase products that reflect their personality," stated Jha. For interior decoration, people prefer colorful and multi-purpose products to ensure the room is presentable at all times. Cookware that serves as serve ware in variations of colours and designs such as red, neon green, yellow and orange have seen a significant rise. "Consumers are now shifting from being only price conscious to being more conscious of value for money. They are willing to pay a premium for better quality products," Jha mentioned. Carpet sales are contributing 15 per cent of home furnishings on Flipkart while readymade curtains have seen a spike of 10-12 per cent in the last one year. (IANS)

Welcome to Eva in the Kitchen, where it's all about food, and food in Paris.
I'm Dutch and living in Paris, France with my French boyfriend, my boyfriends daughter, the Teen (17 already, time flies!) and our baby Lea. I'm currently working from home as a photographer and writer, while also taking care of Lea (and as anyone with a baby will recognize: this sounds waaay easier than it actually is). As fabulous as Paris is, I do miss my home country so I still travel regularly back to the low lands (aka the Netherlands).
As far as I'm concerned, there's nothing better than cooking for the people I love, and sharing delicious food with family and friends. I hope this website inspires you to get in the kitchen and start cooking.
Let's eat great food!
PS You can follow me more or less everywhere: on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, or Bloglovin. Or subscribe via RSS or Eva in the Kitchen's Newsletter!
What kind of products do you use?
Because I believe it's better for us and our planet, I try to use as many fresh, organic and fair trade products as I can. However, I'm very practical about this. If there's no fair trade or organic variant available, I'll buy whatever they have. Because it's easier to buy organic products in the Netherlands than in France, and I don't always want to make the trip to the special bio store, I tend to eat more organic food in the Netherlands. But on the other hand, the choice of regional products is bigger in France, so I buy more locally produced food when I'm doing my groceries in Paris. The cost of different products is important as well, at the end of the month I often pay more attention to price than when my paycheck just came in.
Do you make everything from scratch?
No, I certainly don't! Frankly, I'm a big fan of a bit of cheating in the kitchen. For example, if I have the time I prefer to make my own stock, but I also have a day job and spending hours cooking to make stock is just not always an option. I love to make everything from scratch if I have time, but if not, I don't feel ashamed at all to take the shortcut. There are many good products out there that save you a lot of time and even allow you to make more 'difficult' dishes than you would if you were to make everything yourself.
Are your recipes and pictures free to use?
All photographs, recipes and text on this website are subject to international copyright © Eva in the Kitchen 2013-2016, unless otherwise indicated.
You are welcome to link to a recipe on Eva in the Kitchen by using one image, a title and a direct link back to Eva in the Kitchen for all recipe details and instructions. You are not allowed to publish recipe details (including the ingredients list or instructions) on websites or media of any kind.
If you wish to publish recipe details, please contact me and I'm sure we can work something out. I am one of the food photographers for StockFood, food image agency.
Are these your own recipes?
Yes, I develop and test all the recipes on this website myself. If they're not my own, or if I have adapted someone else's recipe, I always mention this clearly in the blogpost.
Are these your own pictures?
Yes, I do my all of my own photography. For photography tips, please see my post on my photo set up and my post on my favourite equipment and tips.
Can I hire you?
Sure! Take a look at my portfolio for more information. If you wish to contact me for business opportunities, please send me a message.
I'm going to Paris, and I need a restaurant/hotel, do you have any tips?
You can find different tips for eating in and around Paris on the Eva in the Kitchen Paris Food Map. If you require something specific, please contact me.
What language do you speak in Paris?
That depends. With my boyfriend I usually speak English, but when his daughter (the minichef) is around we speak French. I speak Dutch to Lea, she doesn't speak back yet though ;-)
With my French family and our friends I usually speak French.
Why are all your restaurant reviews positive? Don't you ever come across a mediocre place?
Of course I do! But since I'm not a restaurant critic, I chose to only write posts about restaurants that are recommendable. The restaurants you'll find on my blog, are the ones I'd visit for a second (or third, or fourth…) time myself. I would like to remark that I always pay for my own meals, my restaurant tips are not sponsored!
All photographs, recipes and text on this website are subject to copyright © Eva in the Kitchen, unless otherwise indicated. All rights reserved.
Why do you blog in English and Dutch? And why aren't all pages available in Dutch?
Eva in the Kitchen has been around since November 2013, and up until January 2016 I only blogged in English. It wasn't until recently that I started blogging in two languages (see the two flags in the menu on each page) and I haven't translated all older posts yet. It is possible to find a link to an older English post on the Dutch version of this site. I'm trying to translate everything, but as we're talking about more than 250 recipes, that might take some time and I might never really get round to do all of them, sorry!
