Even a light meal in an informal...

Jennifer 2008-05-01T23:27:16-05:00 http://www.bloggingsouls.com/archives/2008_04.html#000262 Lots of people are excited about milestone birthdays--sometimes not so much because of the age but the celebration it entails. Adam's been looking forward to his 30th birthday party for at least a year. The preparations kicked off last spring... Jennifer 2008-04-20T11:27:16-05:00 http://www.bloggingsouls.com/archives/2008_04.html#000261 I'd been wanting to go to Ippudo for a while and Adam and I finally made the trek down there on Friday. Not unexpectedly, there were a lot of people waiting for tables and we ended up having to wait... Jennifer 2008-04-13T20:11:35-05:00 http://www.bloggingsouls.com/archives/2008_04.html#000260 Adam had a conference to go to in Chicago and since I had never been and Adam had only been in passing we went there a few days early to explore the city. The city is nice--lots of charming neighborhoods... Jennifer 2008-04-07T20:55:47-05:00 http://www.bloggingsouls.com/archives/2008_03.html#000259 Last weekend, Adam and I went to Baltimore to visit our new neice--she's super cute, smiles and happily babbles a lot. While we were there, we accompanied his brother and our sister-in-law to their nephew's birthday party and took a... Jennifer 2008-03-21T22:39:55-05:00 http://www.bloggingsouls.com/archives/2008_01.html#000258 You should be jealous of me right now. I just finished baking a low-fat choocolate hazelnut torte and it is good, really good. Adam made a butternut squash dish with hazelnuts on Saturday and had some leftover hazelnuts so I... Jennifer 2008-01-29T22:57:09-05:00 http://www.bloggingsouls.com/archives/2007_11.html#000257 This weekend has just been a non-stop eating fest. Met up with friends for lunch at Jackson Diner yesterday--I didn't want to do the buffet thing so I ordered the chicken biryani. Jackson Diner has a reputation for being a...

Jennifer 2007-11-04T19:48:52-05:00 http://www.bloggingsouls.com/archives/2007_10.html#000255 Today was our last day in Argentina and, unfortunately for me, it was also a holiday (Dia de la Raza, or Argentina's Columbus Day) which meant many stores were closed (I had been hoping to squeeze in some last minute... Jennifer 2007-10-17T08:58:32-05:00 http://www.bloggingsouls.com/archives/2007_10.html#000254 When I read things like this, I knew I wanted to go to the Parana River Delta. The problem was finding the right tour--the only tours I could find involved rides on catamarans that looked pretty touristy. I wanted a... Jennifer 2007-10-16T21:19:29-05:00 http://www.bloggingsouls.com/archives/2007_10.html#000253 I couldn't pass up the opportunity to do some more bird-watching at Costanera Sur and for the first hour or so, it was really nice and relaxing as we walked along the main reserve trail and stopped and looked at...

Cafayate has a number of wineries and drinking wine is one of Adam's favorite things to do so I thought this would be... Jennifer 2007-10-16T19:39:42-05:00 http://www.bloggingsouls.com/archives/2007_10.html#000251 We had another group tour excursion scheduled for Thursday and when our guide brought us to a car with no other people, I thought perhaps he was taking us to a bus but, as it turned out, no one else... Jennifer 2007-10-16T17:46:44-05:00 http://www.bloggingsouls.com/archives/2007_10.html#000250 In case you haven't figured it out, I love birds and will happily take any opportunity to go bird-watching when we travel. Unfortunately, I'm not a very good birder so I generally rely on guides, particularly if we are visiting... Jennifer 2007-10-16T16:50:44-05:00
