08/24/08 16:58 - 72ºF - ID#45440Stolen journal
So I guess I have been in a blogging rut this summer. I have posted very little lately. But I did manage to steal this from my brothers bloglink , who originally stole it from this bloglink

Here's a chance for a little interactivity for all the bloggers out there. Below is a list of 100 things that I think every good omnivore should have tried at least once in their life. The list includes fine food, strange food, everyday food and even some pretty bad food - but a good omnivore should really try it all. Don't worry if you haven't, mind you; neither have I, though I'll be sure to work on it. Don't worry if you don't recognise everything in the hundred, either; Wikipedia has the answers.

Here's what I want you to do:
1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.
2) Bold all the items you've eaten.
3) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating.
4) Optional extra: Post a comment here at www.verygoodtaste.co.uk linking to your results.

08/17/08 12:20 - 74ºF - ID#45348The post concerning engrish
Engrish.com is one of the web sights of my taste. But in addition as for me this one is liked.link That translates English in engrish. That when being boring, is large for the sake of. Elizabeth concerning that called to me. Occasionally, the place shows completely nonsense exactly, but other things measure somewhat strange time.

I had not posted the difficult here of the thing which ever since May is believed. I show the image of my dinner perhaps after the tonight.

Well it has been a long few days adjusting back to eastern standard time, starting class and working full time. It was a fun trip and nice to see e:ladycroft, e:lizabeth, and e:john. I was a little worried about how meeting up might work with only one of us having a phone. But despite our lateness at Zagreb airport to meet e:ladycroft it went pretty smoothly. Anyway I'll let the pictures do the talking.

The streets of Tokaj in Northeastern Hungary. Home of the world famous dessert wine Tokaji. And to think I used to hate dessert wine.

Rakoczi Pince, Tokaj. This is the largest and most famous wine cellar in Tokaj. They store and age wines from the Hetszolo Vineyards.

The tasting room at Rakoczi Pince, Tokaj. This is where we sampled some really awesome wines.

Gyomolcsleves, don't ask me to pronounce this, Hungarians couldn't understand me when I tried. It's a cold fruit soup that is served in the summer. It varied everywhere we tried it. Its basically a creamy soup made with sour cream and pretty much any kind of fruit can be added. Towards the end of summer when sour cherries are in season they are used more often than the pears we encountered frequently. This one also had whipped cream, black currents and blueberries. One place we had an awesome one(I don't have a pic), but is was a lime and peach cream soup with mint sorbet, absolutely delicious.
