I'm traveling this week and won't have my trusty computer for regular posts, so I'll share some images from my trusty iPhone. I think I take more photos than I make calls.
Button Cookies
I bet these taste as good as they look. Head over to Sugar and Meringue for a tutorial on these Button Cookies.
Beautiful Budapest Bridge
Bridges are crucial structures and the engineering minds that create these spans to carry us safely across the abysses leave me in awe. I'm particularly moved when I see a structure that's not only functional, but beautiful. The Liberty Bridge in the photos is located in Budapest, Hungary. Completed in 1896 for the Millennium World Exhibition, it's original name was the Francis Joseph Bridge named after the Emperor. The designer was János Feketeházy, chief engineer of the Hungarian Railroads.
During World War II, this Bridge as well as every bridge in Budapest was blown up by the retreating German troops. It was the first bridge to be rebuilt and reopened in 1946.
The images were captured on our last vacation almost 2 years ago. We found the city to be full of beautiful architecture, warm people and incredible food.
Blinking Ketchup & Mustard Bottles
Sometimes I just wonder who thinks up these things? Blinking ketchup & mustard bottles? Was it a doll parts supplier with an excess of eyes? At $24.95 I have to admire the profit margin that must be involved with these babies.
Drive-In Movie Theatre Finder
I have fond memories of going to the Drive-In Movies as a kid. The scale of the big screen, the popcorn, the parking of the truck backwards so you could stretch out in lounge chairs in the back to watch the show. Sadly, most of these places have closed, but there are still a few around that light up the nights. Use the Drive-In Theatre Finder at Drive-Ins.com to find the closest Drive-In to you and take a carful of friends or just your squeeze to the movies the old-fashioned way. I've had enough lately of 3-D and overly climate-controlled artificial environments.
Split Decision Pie Pan
Now this is a product that's made for me! The Split Decision Pie Pan lets you bake two pies at once in the same pan! Brilliant! Lord knows one can't have too much pie.
