Previously there was a long and broad introduction to German wines from a historical and theoretical perspective. Now in more detail about the actual evening of indulging the taste buds and the six wines from various German regions.
Another meeting of the wine tasters' club. Sounds good, doesn't it? But about how it tasted and how much valuable information we gathered about German wines from Larisa's presentation - a little more detail. For example, the flavour and aroma bouquet of Riesling: peach + apple + grapefruit + rose petals + honey + freshly cut green grass.
Just a few more days and Easter - the Great Day, the spring equinox - will be here. I am convinced that the festive feeling can be created not only by the anticipated days off, which can be spent with family or loved ones, but also by sprucing up one's surroundings, so to speak, dressing them up for the occasion. Here are some ideas for how to decorate the home.
To paraphrase a saying about many small happinesses, one could say - there is no such thing as one single truth; there are many small truths. I would like to apply this saying to the chamber production "The Fundamentalist" recently watched at the JRT.
While browsing the internet I came across original, visually appealing, and judging by the ingredients, quite tasty snacks. Yes, yes, these little penguins, neatly lined up one after another in the image below, are edible.
Of the promised delicacies, what was to be found were the culinary secrets of Sardinia - who else but Roberto to prepare and serve them. There were also nuts - whether from India itself, I couldn't say.
Bodies interweave, hurried steps pass by, endlessly past through puddles, glances that casually notice nothing. Am I alone in this city, in this world, or is there always someone watching over me? Some inner force, some light that allows the chrysalis to be reborn as a butterfly. That too can be called God. When you have found it within yourself, fallen in love with yourself, then you can lift your eyes to another and fall in love with God in the other person. Butterflies are drawn to the light, people to love.
It must be said straight away that the name "festival" has been taken rather too boldly. To even notice this so-called festival, you have to enter and exit the "Gastronome" department of the mc2 shopping centre almost twice. Ordinary shop business-as-usual. The pastries, though, were perfectly fine - delicious, in fact.
Today on the second floor of the Nature Museum we visited the annual rabbit and other pet exhibition, open from 24 to 28 February and organised by the Latvian Small Animal Breeders' Association "Rabbit and Others". We looked at, photographed, and filmed all the exhibits - here is a glimpse of the event.
From a polite phrase, you can infer the mood of the person asking. For example, "How's it coming [work]?" suggests that the questioner still can't decide whether to begin some process; while the laconic "How's it going?" is nothing other than a wish to pass the conversational baton to someone else - or simply having nothing to say.
