GRAPE
Combining Georgia’s national grape variety with a juicy mix of berries, this deep ruby lemonade is crisp and refreshing on the palate, with a scent of Saperavi.
Early references to lemonade date back to ancient Egypt, but its modern-day formula developed after Joseph Priestly, a British theologian, philosopher and chemist, invented carbonated water in 1767. By 1833 the clear and sparkling lemonade we know today became widely available. It’s been evolving ever since…
SCROLL FORWARD TO 1914
Niko Zandukeli, a talented Georgian chemist and traveller set out for France and returned excited by the refreshing carbonated lemon drink he’d enjoyed there.
Obsessed with perfection, Niko Zandukeli was determined to create his own lemonade recipes by adding bold and original new flavours. Travelling around Georgia, the young Niko befriended fruit and herb farmers and began experimenting with different ingredients. Soon his unique recipes were being sold in pharmacies throughout the land, and fountains and cafes began to pop up as meeting places where Georgians could gather and socialise.
Colombo (Sri Lanka) is very humid plus the sun is up throughout the day causing us to sweat a lot. So nice glass of water especially a chilly cold glass of water is heaven dew
Glacier National Park, July 2014, Iceberg Lake Trail. There are tons of these meltwater streams/falls in GNP, and I was tempted to take a drink. Having experienced bacterial war in the past, though, I kept to carefully washing my face only.
Great minds think alike as I thought aboout capturing mine and my sisters Pimms as 'refreshing' she let me know she had already beat me to it!!!
We joked at how I was going to 'copy' her pic....and here it is lol!!!
EXOTIC EASTER FARE
Easter brunch at 1911 on 5th April 2015
Easter specials at La Baguette till 5th April 2015
Easter Sunday is upon us and it brings along a plethora of dining options in the city. 1911 at the classy Imperial is having an Easter Brunch this Sunday and going by the food I sampled there yesterday, is unmissable.
Other than the traditional Easter grub, Chef Vishal has laid out many Mediterranean dishes that liven up the menu. There is a pineapple Gazpacho is a refreshing departure from the tomato base and the smoked paprika gives it a spicy kick.
One of my favourite dishes will be the Prawn Escabeche. Again a departure from ceviche, this flavourful dish has a special blend of flavours in the marinade, giving it a deliciously sharp tang.
For the vegetarians, I will recommend the stuffed artichokes. These are high quality spanish artichoke hearts covered in a delicious spinach filling. Creamy and flavourful this will satiate most meat lovers too.
I loved the lamb chops on polenta. The braising (as opposed to just roasting) makes the lamb deliciously moist. I must write about the polenta as even on its own it was smashing. Tossed in just some parmesan and olive oil it highlighted Chef Vishal's philosophy of rustic, simply cooked but delicious dishes.
The other two standouts were the Confit of chicken and the Veg lasagne. The chicken was moist beyond belief and combine that with streaks of perfectly cooked bacon made the dish very special indeed.
Among the many desserts, the macaroons were truly special. I'd be hard pressed to find better macaroons in the city, an absolute treat. For chocolate lovers there is the chocolate verrine, basically a superb chocolate mousse with a dark chocolate syrup spooned on top. Sinful and indulgent, this kind of stuff is what Easter is made up of.
Executive Chef Vishal Atreya is planning to have a spread of nearly 70 delectable dishes so round up your family (or brunch crew) and head here to get your fix of eggs, chocolate, leg of lamb and bloody Marys.

My favourite not super-close shot of the set. The colours came out really well in this one. She looks pensive, no?
قالوا: السعادة في السكون وفي الخمول وفي الخمود
في العيش بين الأهل لا عيش المهاجر والطريد
في لقمة تأتي إليك بغير ما جهد جهيد
في المشي خلف الركب في دعة وفي خطو وئيد
في أن تقول كما يقال فلا إعتراض ولا ردود
في أن تسير مع القطيع وأن تقاد ولا تقود
في أن تعيش كما يراد ولا تعيش كما تريد
قلت : الحياة هي التحرك لا السكون ولا الهمود
وهي التفاعل والتطور لا التحجر والجمود
وهي الشعور بالإنتصار ولا انتصار بلا جهود
وهي التلذذ بالمتاعب لا التلذذ بالرقود
هي أن تذود عن الحياض وأي حر لا يذود
هي أن تحس بأن كأس الذل من ماء صديد
هي أن تعيش خليفة في الأرض شأنك أن تسود
إن السعادة أن تعيش لفكرة الحق التليد
وتعلم الفكر السوي وتصنع الخلق الحميد
هذي الحياة وشأنها من عهد آدم والجدود
فإذا ركنت إلى السكون فلذ بسكان اللحود
الشيخ / يوسف القرضاوي
The camellias are already beginning to bloom. Thought this would be a great way to start off the week.

A gorgeous Sunday morning in Rotterdam and a perfect subject for a fisheye lens ;-) The Hofplein fountain (and roundabout) as you enter the city centre. I haven't seen any people in it for a while, despite the Olympic medals the Dutch have managed to win. What's all that about?!? ;-)
This year i went in Kenya for holidays, here they are some shots! Most of that is taken at the Safari in the Tsavo East National Park, where i spent some days.
Here you can find ALL the shots: "Facebook Photo Gallery"

Glass bottle of imported Fresca soda made with real cane sugar. From Wikipedia: In Latin America, Coca-Cola markets an entirely different soft drink under the Fresca brand name. This drink is grapefruit-flavored, but contains sugar. Colombia is the only country in which this drink is distributed with the name Quatro using Fresca's same colors, logos and stickers.
