Look at the beautiful town of Auxerre, France Nice Notre Dame on the Yonne river. This is in the Burgundy region of France. I snapped 2 pictures from this beautiful French town called Auxerre. I really wished we had the time to visit, but we didn’t. It was one of those “passing thru” towns that […]
Normandy Beaches
SURREAL On June 6, 1944, something unimaginable happened. As I walked Omaha Beach, it was too hard not to think about what resonated over the skies. The terrible outcome of that day marked a momentous chapter for mankind; it was the invasion of Normandy, otherwise known as Operation Neptune, but the rest of […]
Brownies à la homemade
I love brownies. Brownies are like an old time favorite movie classic. You can watch it, over and over and over and…you get it. Who does not love a sweet, chewy-chocolaty brownie? Ok, don’t answer that. Still, it’s one of my daughter’s favorite things to eat, and since I haven’t written about brownies yet, […]
Beaune…la grande petite ville!
In Burgundy, France If you’re looking for your next sweet escape in Burgundy, France, then I suggest to skip the big city of Dijon and head out to le grande petite ville of Beaune. Don’t get me wrong. Dijon is great. Dijon is awesome. BUT! If it’s a —let’s hit as many caves […]
I made Tembleque!
Wait! Nope. It doesn’t come from Tembleque in Toledo, Spain. Although I must say, Puerto Rico was a colony of Spain for many many centuries ago. But no, it’s not from there. It’s actually from Puerto Rico. It JIGGLES! That’s why we call it Tembleque; it jiggles, but in a sweet way. Back when […]
HERE’S THE THING…
Every time I think about coloring my sketches, I stop. I halt and stare at them for a while to eventually realize that I can’t visualize them with a splash of color. This is terrible! I know. My believe is that if I put color, I will ruin them sketches! That’s why I can’t bring […]
Time for penciling sketches
I can’t honestly remember when was the last time I sat down to sketch. It has been a while. Funny. It’s actually the reason why I created this website in the first place. I think about having my latest collection shown off during Fashion Week in Paris. I see a boutique in Avenue Montaigne too […]
Leysin
Quite stunning! Recently, I visited Leysin, Switzerland. Actually, this is my second time here. Granted, it’s not Zermatt where you get a view of the glorious Matterhorn. Nope. Instead, you get to view more. From atop Leysin, you can visibly enjoy a view of the Jura Mountains, the Rhone Valley, Lac Léman, the incredible peaks […]
At the Christmas Markets
In Altstad Köln, Deutschland This was definitely a first for me. I’ve been to Cologne before, but not during the Christmas Holiday. This time around was very special. I went with my family and I got to see dear friends of ours. We drove to Cologne from Switzerland. Upon arrival, the traffic was […]
Decadent Mousse…
choco, chocolicious!!! A lot of trials ago, I attempted to do a mousse and it was a disaster. It was horrible! It wasn’t until last year when I found a recipe by Lorraine Pascale that changed my mind about making mousse. She made it look so simple that I had to give it a go. […]
In Riquewihr, Ribeauvillé, and Château du Haut-Koenigsbourg!
Our first stop is Riquewihr YOU’LL LOVE STAYING AT THIS LITTLE VILLAGE. I always wanted to stay in some little town, and finally we got the opportunity to do so. The only problem was finding our place to stay. It was stupid-fun, really. I literarily felt like “The Griswalds” in National Lampoon European Vacation; you know, […]
“Rude” is my new beat…
Love this song by MAGIC. This Canadian fusion style of reggae is right around my alley…LOVE THE BEAT! Talking about taking away my stress out this morning…all I need is to hear this song and suddenly I’m in some beach in Puerto Rico (I’m from there, that’s why…). Oh, Flamenco Beach in Culebra Island, soaking […]
