Can someone please tell me how to pronounce tzatziki? Is it Tah-zee-key like in America; or is the T silent, Zat-zee-key, like they say it in the UK?  I’m inclined to go with the UK version because it just sounds cooler.

The bar is very narrow.  There are stools on the left of the bar as you walk in and one long line of tables with chairs on the right.  At the end a bathroom and a door that leads outside.

Randall sits by the back door.  It’s quiet there, a good place to write.  He writes poems, stories, sometimes ju

The Medieval Herauld The Episode Audio Originally published in The Medieval Magazine and posted to Medievalist.net this article discusses the three days King Richard II met with the mob in 1381 during the peasant revolt. It illustrates the ways in which the young, fourteen year old, king defied t

I'm so excited I came across this article! I plan on doing a serial of 10 (ish) 'episodes' and I've been trying to find good advice about this method for ages. Thank you!

Jeff Davis Peak in the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest is now Da-ek Dow Go-et Mountain. In the Washoe Indian language the name means saddle between points. The rock cropping at the top

How it works: We share two vases and YOU vote which is your favourite! The winner will then move on to the next round to face another competitor!

It’s vase-to-vase combat like you have never seen before! It’s . . .

This week we have our first competitors. Rea

I like being ahead. I’ve got two lessons planned (for this week and next), I’m ready for the next two weeks or so of Russian lessons and I’m digging into my teacher training course. I was able to get out for a bike ride yesterday afternoon and I took my road bike þor. What a difference on a road bik

Won’t lie. The first video game I ever played as a kid should have been something a little more constructive, but it happened to be a gorefest named Mortal Kombat. In a computer parlour called Cliff’s Cyber Chhaas (perhaps this Cliff guy – bless his soul – thought he was too cool for the generic ter

Today I want to welcome fellow Wisconsin author, Michele Olson. I asked her to do an author interview with me and she graciously agreed. Michele and I met through a friend of mine and a family member of hers. I enjoyed reading her book, Being Ethel (In a World That Loves Lucy), very muc

I am scraping in by the skin of my teeth with Three Good Things Thursday. I missed last week due to being highly disorganised so I am most certainly not going to miss this week. Nup. Nah. Nope.

My good things for today are …
