    YOUR O.A.T. ADVENTURE TRAVEL PLANNING GUIDE® The Baltic Capitals & St. Petersburg 2022 Small Groups: 8-16 travelers—guaranteed! (average of 13) Overseas Adventure Travel ® The Leader in Personalized Small Group Adventures on the Road Less Traveled 1 Dear Traveler, At last, the world is opening up again for curious travel lovers like you and me. And the O.A.T. Enhanced! The Baltic Capitals & St. Petersburg itinerary you’ve expressed interest in will be a wonderful way to resume the discoveries that bring us so much joy. You might soon be enjoying standout moments like these: What I love about the little town of Harmi, Estonia, is that it has a lot of heart. Its residents came together to save their local school, and now it’s a thriving hub for community events. Harmi is a new partner of our Grand Circle Foundation, and you’ll live a Day in the Life here, visiting the school and a family farm, and sharing a farm-to-table lunch with our hosts. I love the outdoors and I love art, so my walk in the woods with O.A.T. Trip Experience Leader Inese turned into something extraordinary when she led me along the path called the “Witches Hill” in Lithuania. It’s populated by 80 wooden sculptures of witches, faeries, and spirits that derive from old pagan beliefs. You’ll go there, too (and I bet you’ll be as surprised as I was to learn how prevalent those pagan practices still are.) I was also surprised—and saddened—to learn how terribly the Baltic people were persecuted during the Soviet era.

  • La Carta La Historia Del Restaurante Georgiano Kinza Les Interesa a Muchos De Nuestros Visitantes
    La Carta La historia del restaurante georgiano Kinza les interesa a muchos de nuestros visitantes La historia del nacimiento del restaurante georgiano Kinza les interesa a muchos de nuestros clientes. Todo empezó cuando en la primera mitad del siglo XX llegaban a la plaza de Santo Domingo muchos comerciantes de diferentes países. Todos los fines de semana había grandes ferias de flores, fresas y quesos. El queso español más famoso fue el requesón de Miraflores. A estas ferias también venían los comerciantes georgianos que traían sus legendarios quesos georgianos. Suluguni, el queso de Georgia, sorprendió y les gustó a los españoles. Después de un exitoso día de ventas, los comerciantes georgianos caminaban por la calle San Bernardo en busca de diversión, ya que esta calle estaba llena de bares, restaurantes y otros establecimientos. Les encantó el ambiente de la capital española y la amabilidad de las personas. Según las leyendas de que muchos georgianos han permanecido en esta gran y hermosa ciudad. Después de saber que hay historias y leyendas georgianas en Madrid, decidimos abrir un restaurante que estaría lo más cerca posible de este lugar tan histórico. Además, un dato interesante, el nombre "Kinza" o cilantro, es una hierba o condimiento muy popular y ampliamente utilizada en la cocina georgiana. La filosofía principal de Kinza es transmitir la hospitalidad de Georgia a través de la comida, las tradiciones, los bailes folclóricos y los brindis. ¡Te esperamos en nuestro mundo de amistad, diversión y hospitalidad! @kinzamadrid @kinzamadrid

    The Flavor Thesaurus A Compendium of Pairings, Recipes and Ideas for the Creative Cook Niki Segnit It seems fitting to dedicate this book to a pair: my cooking adviser and mother, Marian Stevens, and my writing adviser and husband, Nat Segnit. Contents Introduction ROASTED MEATY CHEESY EARTHY MUSTARDY SULFUROUS MARINE BRINE & SALT GREEN & GRASSY SPICY WOODLAND FRESH FRUITY CREAMY FRUITY CITRUSY BERRY & BUSH FLORAL FRUITY Bibliography A Note on the Author Copyright Page “. lamb and apricots are one of those combinations which exist together in a relation that is not just complementary but that seems to partake of a higher order of inevitability—a taste which exists in the mind of God. These combinations have the quality of a logical discovery: bacon and eggs, rice and soy sauce, Sauternes and foie gras, white truffles and pasta, steak-frites, strawberries and cream, lamb and garlic, Armagnac and prunes, port and Stilton, fish soup and rouille, chicken and mushrooms; to the committed explorer of the senses, the first experience of any of them will have an impact comparable with an astronomer’s discovery of a new planet.” John Lanchester, The Debt to Pleasure Introduction I hadn’t realized the depth of my dependence on cookbooks until I noticed that my copy of Elizabeth David’s French Provincial Cooking had fingernail marks running below the recipes. Here was stark evidence of my timidity, an insistence on clinging to a set of instructions, like a handrail in the dark, when after twenty years of cooking I should surely have been well enough versed in the basics to let go and trust my instincts.
