Crazy in Alabama with Kiev Cake
I just finished Crazy in Alabama by Mark Childress, while eating a massive slice of Kiev cake. A very good book, and good cake. I had never heard of this author before, but several customers recommended him. This book is for everyone who should have grown up in the Sixties, but whose parents did not oblige.Read more »

Dutch New Years
I had the pleasure of escorting my neighbor from Szakacsi Thursday night to the New Years party at the Dutch Ambassador's residence. I bought a suit a year ago, but this was the first time I had worn it. This, after several years of borrowing from friends when the need arose.

New Years in Szalonna
As it happens, we had a bit of a party on the 30th, and a very quiet 31st. Jeroen, Lennard and I invited our friend

Two Hungarian friends invited me to the theater (Siraly) last night, but I had no idea what we were going to see.

Then when I found it was the same troupe from Vojvodina that we saw in the Brecht play a couple weeks ago, I entered with some trepidation. My fears were totally unwarranted, and it was an excellent production.Read more »
