ThreeTuneTuesday - Wellerman: What Can You Make Out Of A Sea-Shanty?
Sometimes you come across a song that strikes you in a particular way. You immediately need to look it up and find other versions of it. It may in fact be nothing special at first, but you need to ...
World Press Photo Exhibition - Once More
It's been a year since I last visited the Museo Franz Mayer, for the same reason, with the same people: to see the exhibition of the best photos from the world press. I even posted about it. So onc...
Bableves - Hungarian Bean Soup, Village Nostalgia Style
Making a soup is the most straight forward thing: You cut up the veggies, throw them in water, and cook them. Right? Well, there is a lot more to it, if you really want to take it to the top. One s...
Mexican Murals - Market Corner in Tepoztlán [CCC's Street Art Contest #312]

[Movie] The Odyssey - Facing Our Own Demons at the End of an Era
Last weekend I participated in the global effort to save the cinemas, and went to see The Odyssey in a movie theater. It's been years since I last went to the cinema, but there was so much hype abo...
Making Delicious Pesto
I have to admit, one of my all time favorite things to eat is has always been a good pesto. Clearly, not all pestos are the same, and it really depends on the mix of ingredients. At this point it's...

Beer Saturday - The Taste of Agave
It's been over two weeks since the last Beer Saturday Challenge was posted by @detlev . Also, I already have covered Indio Beer, on more than one occasion. But never mind, there is a good reason to...
Stir Fry - High Heat and Fast Paced in a Wok
After my slow cooking recipe from last week, I want to swing to the opposite this time: using a lot of heat in a brief time. And what would be more ideal for this than a Stir Fry? Have Everything C...
ThreeTuneTuesday - Nina Hagen: Gorgeous Shock-Rock from Germany
Sometimes you tend to discover new things in stuff you thought you knew, only to realize it goes way deeper than you ever expected. For me that's the case with Nina Hagen these days. I've always li...
Mexican Murals - Weird Marine Stuff in La Paz [CCC's Street Art Contest #311]
As I said, the town of La Paz, Baja California Sur, is full of murals. So much so, that after a while it needs something extra special to make you stop and take a good look... and then, another one...
Slow Cooking - A Simple Curry on Low Flame
Sometimes you just want to take your time cooking. Letting the tastes combine gradually, over a low, simmering flame. Today I wanted to try this by making a simply curry dish. While the variety of ...
ThreeTuneTuesday - BlockTunes, the Future of Music?
Have you heard abot BlockTunes? I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't, since it is a pretty new app on the block (pun well intended), and thus it doesn't have too much music to offer... yet. Howeve...

I found this very pretty mural on one of the walls in Tepoztlán last weekend. Actually our objective was not sightseeing, but that town is just covered with beautiful wall paintings. And walking pa...
