On a warm Spring afternoon we added Fried Elderflowers or fiori di sambuco fritti  to the menu - these edible flowers when fried in a beer batter create a light, crunchy, aromatic antipasti/appetizer!

Summer day, June 5. 2014. A beautiful daytrip to Andøya island, in summer, and the temperature around 17 degree C. It's hot here then!

There is an amazing event that happens here in West Virginia every year; the blooming of our state flower, the Great Rhododendron. All across the Mountain State these beautiful plants burst forth with color and one place in particular is a prime location to take in not only the sights of these blooms but the smells as well. I'm referring to Grandview Park.

So, about a year ago, my family and I stayed a few nights in a cave house in Andalusia. We had heard about Castril, a little village buried in the mountains, there was supposed to be a market. Feeling touristy, we decided to go check it out.

Cedar Point is the World’s Best Amusement Park (named for 16 years in a row!) – and one of the thrills of going to Cedar Point is the Roller Coasters. Cedar Point has 18 world-class roller coasters – something for everyone! Includes CP's newest coaster, Valravn.

Note from snsvs: I was one of the privileged few to get a sneak peek at this extraordinary book, and let me be the first to say how impressed I am with it - and with Jordan's talent at inspiring people to get out and pursue their dreams.

Most of us have likely heard of Mont Blanc, not the famous writing pens, but the tallest mountain in the Alps…and we’ve probably seen it, too. Of course, not everyone is lucky enough to see it in person, but you can on Google Images!

If you do plan to visit Mont Blanc, keep in mind one thing: driving up that (or a neighboring) mountain. It wasn’t easy reaching the park at the peak of the mountain; consider this a warning to all of the people who get car-sick or don’t like 15 minute rides of endless elevation.

For me, one of the most special things about Disney World are the little surprises that can pop up when least expected.
