Contemplations and Ruminations

My brother bought a bottle of Irish bailey's cream, and I had some choco chips lying around... and decided to make some Bailey's Irish Cream Brownies and they came out pretty good. Here's  the instagram video  (click on the link). I've been hooked to Instagram since the first time my sister told me about it, in fact....  I waste so much time on instagram nowadays that I don't have any time to waste on Facebook. Here are the brownies, with a flaky exterior and a dense chewy interior.... these were quite good, I could get the taste of bailey's with each bite.  Here's an article about Easter I wrote for the church magazine... In case reading the image might be too trying, the text is given below: I have always wondered  why Easter isn't as big or as exciting as Christmas... I mean who wouldn't want to celebrate the knowledge that death isn't the end of everything, that one day we too will be resurrected and live forever in the Fa

An uncle and aunt live in Baden, which is about 3 hours from Geneva, so we (me and Nam) set out to meet them one fine morning.

Continued from the previous post , so after lunch we continued exploring Yvoire...  This place is such a haven for people who love to walk around and get lost in the beauty of ancient stone houses shrouded in vibrant hues of flowering plants...  Flowers everywhere...   The tourist office, every city or village in Europe seems to have offices like this for tourists, where one can just walk in and ask for maps or directions or recommendations for food.
