This afternoon I was hit by a massive, arresting, tidalwave of hunger. Lunch and every snack I could get my hands on did nothing. I had no tv handy, so the Food Network was out of the question. I opted instead to go through almost the entire Flickr photostream of my absolute favorite cooking blog, Deb and Alex's Smitten Kitchen. You know, 'cause I have nothing to do right? No weddings coming this weekend or anything like that. But a girl can't work when she's got food on the brain! While I was practically salivating I found this sweet little photo set for Deb's Project Wedding Cake. For a friend's wedding Deb created what looks like a scrumptious cake made up of chocolate and vanilla layers, that somehow involves chocolate ganache, mango curd and swiss buttercream frosting. I love homemade-looking wedding cakes. And I guess it was somewhat work-related. You know, research. Mmmmm.
I know what your thinking, there's no way looking at these gorgeous shots of sumptuous food satisfied my hunger. But really, you couldn't be more wrong. It's soothing. Pleasing to the senses.
Enjoyable? Agreeable? Sigh. To hell with it. You win Deb.The finished product was quite lovely, don't you think? Now if you'll excuse me, there have to be some cookies around here somewhere.

Title: Jonny Collins (Modesty Blaise), 'Girls Just Want to Dance', The Croft, Bristol 7.11.10
The ridiculously charming Jonny Collins of Modesty Blaise sang a handful of wonderful songs with his sweet, high voice. He's exactly what you'd want when seeing a solo performer - a big, adorable personality, a lovely voice, fun songs, and lots of stories to tell. I had no idea what to expect but was completely smitten! This song also had the audience singing along which was even more fun. Aw!
Title: Ice Cream and Cake
Like most folks who have seen the Baskin Robbins "Ice Cream and Cake" commercials, I became smitten, to the point of obsession, and was finally driven to create my own, albeit brief, tribute. Enjoy!

Title: They Don't Speak English But They Love To Dance - Sandakan, Malaysia (orangutan tail)
A TripAdvisor™ TripWow video of a travel blog to Sandakan, Malaysia by TravelPod blogger Jmo. See this TripWow and more at http://tripwow.tripadvisor.com/tripwow/ta-00c0-0d02-c807?ytv4=1
They Don't Speak English But They Love To Dance "Greetings from Borneo, It has been a really busy couple weeks since we left the beautiful, relaxing beaches of Cambodia for the steamy jungles of Malaysian Borneo. But after two full days of travel by motorbike, bus, airplane, bus, airplane, taxi and finally ferry we arrived in Kota Kinabalu in Sabah. We stayed at Gayana eco-resort on Gaya island right outside the city in Tunku Abdul Rahman marine national park. This seemed like a good idea as it boasted lots of activities and after lazing around in Cambodia we both felt in need of some activity. Our first day on the island we decided to go for what the eco-resort billed as a "nature walk". Feeling like we were being a bit over prepared for such a simple 4km walk, we grabbed a bottle of water and a couple granola bars and headed off to embrace nature. The first signal that this would not be a simple nature walk was the large sign at the start of the trail warning "Beware of Snakes". Not being a fan of snakes Janice decided I should go first. Normally she leads as I have a horrible sense of direction, I've gotten lost on the Upper East Side let alone the jungle, but as there was the possibility of having to wrestle with a 12 foot python I got the nod. We headed off under the dense, steamy canopy immediately wishing we had worn hiking boots instead of sandals and put on mosquito repellent before leaving for our simple "nature walk". I went along very slowly at first, remembering something from the Discovery Channel about sneaking up on snakes being a bad thing. But as we progressed further into the dense jungle I felt a strong desire to move faster so as to end our "nature walk" as soon as possible. But the trail was narrow and often blocked by either fallen tree limbs covered in massive ants or rattan (palm branches covered in spikes) so the going was slow. Then the truly expected occurred - I got us lost. Not sure how I did it, one minute we were on the trail, markers every 50 meters, next thing we are at the bottom of a steep hill in the middle of a mangrove swamp with no idea which way to go next. We had about an hour or two of sunlight left so deciding sleeping in the jungle was worse than running into a snake Janice forgot her fear of snakes, pushed me aside and powered off into the jungle to find a way out. I won't bore you all with the details of our daring escape from the "nature walk" but it did involve an iguana. Not wanting to repeat our disaster on land we decided to spend the next two days at sea getting our advanced PADI scuba diver certification. The course itself was pretty uneventful, and the visibility of the diving was really bad so we couldn't see much except floating bits of mud, so the highlight was when one of the dive masters played Santa Clause at the resort's Christmas party by wearing a scary white guy mask with a beard. Fortunately, he didn't ask either of us to sit on his lap and tell him what we wanted. After another day or so at the eco-resort spent snorkeling in the national park, and eating at the wonderful seafood restaurant - I know it sounds bad to eat seafood in a marine national park, but it was just so fresh - we met the other travellers who would be joining us on our group trip through the rest of Borneo. Everyone seemed non-axe murdererish, which is always a bonus on a group trip, and we headed off for a small village at the base Mt. Kinabalu before our ascent the next day. Mt. Kinabalu is the tallest mountain in S.E. Asia and had only first been summited within the last fifty years. Upon reaching the summit it used to be tradition to sacrifice 7 white chickens to appease the gods who lived there, but now that KFC has come to Borneo the gods can get chicken any time they want and the sacrifice is no longer necessary. The night before the climb we met our guide Sapingee who decided the best way to prepare us for the arduous climb, was ..."

2. The potential for action learning ¦ Part 2/4
Key insights: The role of action learning in advancing people
Dr Howard Spittle, General Manager, Beaches Boscobel, Jamaica, comments on his learning journey with GULL: "I believe action learning offers the best way forward for many professionals in the Caribbean as well as for every level of employee both in the hospitality business and indeed the wider community. I am now proud to have been a founder member of the GULL Executive Doctor of Management programme for General Managers and Directors of the Sandals group. I know without doubt that unless we walk the talk and truly commit to educating one and all we cannot expect Caribbean society to grow, to improve and to compete effectively in a global environment. GULL makes it possible for everyone to advance personally and professionally and to obtain recognized, professional certification at work."

Wedding Night
The night you have dreamed of is finally here
The future surrounds you with hope and yet fear
You’ve wanted so long to find your perfect mate
Sip this wine and toast this perfect date
The night is meant for you to share
Enjoy each other – a perfect pair!!
First Fight
When fights occur and tempers get hot
Pour a glass and be thankful for what you’ve got
If you always agreed it would certainly be a bore
And by asking for (BRIDE's) hand (GROOM) is surely
in for more!
First Anniversary
Been married a year, where did the time go?
No longer newlyweds, now you are pros
Hope the days found you in good health and
good spirit
Keep saying I love you –
one always needs to hear it!
Now toast this first date, it’s certainly not the last
And as you build your future don’t ever forget
the past!
First Dinner Party
Open your home to entertain and eat
Catch up with old friends and new ones to meet
When the night is over share this bottle of wine
But don’t sit down yet – it’s clean up time!!
Christmas Eve
A wise man said wine is better than beer
And now is the season for lots of holiday cheer
So pop the cork and relax a bit,
And when the night is through,
Kiss goodnight, close your eyes
And Santa will be good to you!
First Baby
The news that a baby will soon share your life
will make you a mother, not only a wife
You’ll see it through good times and sometimes
through bad
(BRIDE) the loving mother
and (GROOM) the dearest dad
Sadly Lonnie must drink this one alone, and (BRIDE) with an empty glass
Sit back and relax – nine months will quickly pass!
