Food Corner: Panzaroti & Co.
You’re right! It’s actually not time for the Food Corner yet, since that normally gets posted on Wednesdays. But because of Spring Festival this week, I’m going to switch things around a bit, and do the Food Corner today. Especially after we had a very special treat last night: an Italian Dinner with friends. They had invited us to enjoy some homemade Panzaroti (deep-fried pizza pockets, also known as Calzone) and Tiramisu. It was very delicious, but what turned out to be my greatest pleasure that night was the fact that all the dishes were placed on the table and we were able to serve ourselves. I’d never realized – always eating buffet style in our foreign faculty cafeteria – how much I missed being able to sit down at a table and filling my plate right then and there. Still, this particular pleasure was topped by something even more delightful: the Tiramisu! Hadn’t had anything this delicious in a long time!
Monday Highlight: Chill Out!
It’s been a while since I did my last Monday Highlight. But today I have another product I want to point out to you. It’s not a new release as it hit the store at SSD about a year ago. However, it’s a great kit to use for all these wintery pages, and as we still are in the middle of winter (at least in that part of the world where I am), I thought I’d talk a little about … Chill Out! by Dani Mogstad First of all, I love the color scheme of different shades of blue, brown, red. Another thing that stands out to me is the “doodled/handdrawn” elements and paper patterns. This kit comes with a great set of elements and papers, and also includes a large number of word strips that really can help make your journaling pop! In addition to that Chill Out! provides a set of four felt alphas, matching the color palette. Look at what I was able to create recently, using this kit:
