Monthly Archives: August 2005I ordered a new camera last week and it has arrived! It was shipped to my parent’s house so I will not get my hands on before this Saturday –but soon, soon dear friends, I will once again bring regular posting and pictures of food to all those who graciously allow me to bend their […] show 4 comments hi gemma, can’t wait to see the food pictures you’ll be taking with your new camera…cheers,j Hi Gemma, that picture is stunning. And please do post about non-food related things, we want to hear it all :) All the best on your upcoming trip, it sounds very exciting and I can imagine you must be completely thrilled about the adventure that lies ahead of you. I look forward to reading about it! Hola from rainy Panama! Congratulations on your new camera… Thank you! It has been fun getting to know the new camera. It isn’t fully under control yet, but I know we are going to be great friends. I stumbled across a neat map that Tana at the Small Farms Blog has set up. If you have a food blog feel free to add it to the map. Even though I already know where most of the food blogs I read are based out off, this seems like a great way to get […] show 1 comment La mappa dei food-blog Deliziosa idea, quella di segnalare su una mappa le “sedi” dei food-blog ! Exciting News! I have officially given notice at my job and I will be leaving my place of employment in a matter of weeks. Shortly thereafter John and I will be boarding a plane to London and setting out on six months of traveling. (The impetus for all of this is a result of our […] show 11 comments that is very exciting indeed! i have been a lurker at your blog for a while now, and i do hope you’ll be able to post during your adventures! the inn crowd in singapore is probably the best deal (hostel) in the city, if you end up there. if you do go to malaysia, kuala lumpur isn’t so great, kind of hard to navigate, i hear the highlands are nice. that’s great news & i do hope you enjoy your travels. if you end up in auckland new zealand, i have a friend that might help you find a place to stay. Hey there, sounds like a trip and a half! You’ll love it, remind me of my travellin’ days [looks wistfully into the air] Do come to Malaysia then you get to eat all the yummy food we have. KL is nothing much as it’s a big city but you should go to places like Malacca and Penang which is more historical. If you’re coming during non-monsoon season (around Sept/oct), then you can also make a trip to the East Coast for the beaches and diving. What great news, Gemma! As is only appropriate, I’m very, very jealous. Please do keep posting and reporting from wherever you are, if it’s not too much trouble. But more importantly, soak it all up! hi gemma, wow! how tremendously exciting…if you do wind up in southeast asia, and are dropping by singapore, would be more than happy to fill you in on the sights, smells, tastes …cheers,j Thank you everyone for your kind words and advice! Have fun travelling! If you’re near the Baltics sometimes in December/early January, drop me a line, and I may show you personally or then email the links to the best cafes/restaurants to visit in Tallinn:) Likewise, if you reach Hanoi and feel like some street food experiences, drop us a line at stickyrice. Pille and Sticky, thank you so much! Those are two areas that we are seriously considering/hoping to get to. I will be in touch if it works out. Last week my parents, my brother, and I drove four hours north to Waupaca, Wisconsin. We have spent a week in Waupaca every summer of my life. Waupaca is a tiny town situated about an hour and a half North of Madison by car. While Wisconsin is home to many lakes, Waupaca itself boasts 22 […] show 12 comments I didn’t think anyone else knew about ting. and that picture of the cheese curds made me hungry… I know what I’m doing first thing when I get back to wisconsin…spotted cow and fried cheese. delicious. Hi Gemma, what a wonderful description of Waupaca. I’ve never been there but you certainly make it sound very charming. Inner tube rentals and the Ting Pop! Wow Lizzy, I had no idea anyone else had heard of Ting either. I am impressed. Mmmm. fried cheese curbs and spotted cow. I wish I could eat some with you, but it sounds like I will be gone when you are here. . sniff. I don’t think so… but it’s really that book.. http://www.duroboat.com/experience/NorthToWaupaca.htm I found your post while searching for Ting. Having grown up in Waupaca, I have very fond memories of Ting and thought it was long gone. I used to love the orange. I want a Ting shirt! Where can I get one?! I wish I knew Tammy! I want one too. Just got back from Waupaca. after 27 years of almost yearly waupaca vacations, my daughter, now 25, had to announce that her “childhood is officially over” when told that ting is no longer being made. sad. sad. sad. and to think of how i recycled the cases of ting that we’d bring home to downers grove, il., but then forget to return it to waupaca. now, i feel responsible for the end of ting. we did visit clear water harbour, the red mill and our favorite restaurant The Pine Tree Supper Club that is closer to New London. Also, scooper’s ice cream and the Tom Thumb miniature golf continues! I spent every summer of my childhood in Waupaca as well, making the 2 day drive from New York with my parents and brother and sisters. We would stay a couple weeks on Round Lake with my grandparents, who lived there year-round. Katie, I read your Dad’s story and loved it (I started going to Waupaca in the ’60s). Sadly, my grandfather passed away 4 years ago, the house was sold, and we have not been back since. I was just up in Waupaca and can confirm that Ting was no where to be found – Even at our old stand by Weller’s. The end of an era indeed. This is awesome. I am the granddaughter of Sarah Lorimer who ran the Trading post. |
