Read moreMi limón, mi limonero
In our 8th annual edition, yesterday December 1st 2019, we celebrated our version of Thanksgiving. This means a harvest celebration of the fruits of our actions during the year, with friends and loved ones. Petra and I cooked for three days with help from our friend Christophe. We served plenty of food that included garlic-ginger green beans, shiitake mushrooms with bok choy, vegetarian stuffing, cranberry sauce, sweet potato cornbread muffins, carrots with cumin and herbs, and an organic mojo turkey. For dessert we served a Garam Masala pumpkin pie, and a chestnut-purée cake with birch sugar. Wine was kindly provided by our friend Rolf. One of the highlights of the evening was singing Mi limón, mi limonero with Petra playing the accordion.
Read morePa i coques
Al llegar a San Boi de Lluçanès, poblado de quinientos habitantes en la zona catalana de los montes Pirineos, nuestro anfitrión, y panadero del pueblo, me envía un mensaje via WhatsApp invitándonos a pan y coca, pa i coques en catalán.
Hasta ese momento solo conocía dos acepciones de la palabra coca: la bebida azucarada y la planta de hojas estimulantes. No pensé que me estuviera invitando a darme un pase de cocaína, y no me entusiasmó en nada la idea de beber Coca Cola. Presentía que algo no cuadraba.

There are many stories about the Loch Ness Monster, the Jeti, Bigfoot, Yeran, and many other large mysterious creatures that inhabit our Planet. They are rarely (or never) seen. But on our recent trip to the island of Ratonneau, off the coast of Marseille, we spotted the Boat-Eating Sea Dog. To our surprise no one else saw it. However, I was lucky enough to have a camera, and snatched a picture before it submerged, as a proof. I tried to look for references to this creature in Google and came up empty. By the way, the photo is not doctored or photoshopped in any shape or form.

During our recent visit to Marseille, we discovered the fattest car in the world inside the Vieille Charité in the old Panier quarter of France’s second largest city. Driving it probably will make you feel skinny. See for yourself.

I like city walls, especially those that leave space to the imagination. This one around a tight corner is unique. It looks like a musician left a big horn leaning on the wall, and forgot about it. That’s why the graffiti is perfect. Actually the vertical metal structures are meant to protect the wall from damages by cars and trucks that cannot make the sharp turn.
