Hungary's Hellish Kitchen

We stopped at a market booth for lunch one day, and it was awful!  The service was slow and the food was cold and blech.  The name of the place, we found out later, was Hungary's Hell's Kitchen.  Evidently this was their Christmas booth.  It SO made me not want to go to their restaurant!

Royal Times

The people of Cluj publish a newspaper on National Day showing the return of the royals to Bucharest on the first National Day in 1918.  Good way to remember history!

Not So Joyful

I am on a really boring and dense stitch at the moment.  It's time consuming!

Crazy January Start #17: Blue And Gold Egg

This egg is going to look fabulous when it's done.  The problem is finding the time to finish it.

First Bazilika

We went to this restaurant at St. Stephen's square in Budapest twice.  The first time was really good.  The second time was awful and we both caught food poisoning.  The only difference seemed to be the staff.  I had a cappucino to warm me up, and we both had goulash.  I also had a steak and egg thing while Andreas had chicken paprikash.  His was better.

Beautiful Counted Work

I found this beautiful table runner at the market in Budapest.  It's all hand stitched, with both  cross stitch and pulled work.  I love it.

Crazy January Start #16: Rico Design Tablecloth

Last time we were in Germany I bought this at the Karstadt.  It was on sale and looked pretty.  Now I've started it.  It's a square tablecloth with a Christmas motif.
