Sicilian Hot Chocolate Drink
When it’s intensely cold like now I always think of having a hot chocolate drink. I thought winter this time would be mild and dry but I didn’t count on the coldest month to be always the coldest month, lol! I have known that February is the month when winter is the most cruel here. Snow is fine but when the temperature drops to -11°C like this morning I don’t feel like working at all. My hands really froze after scraping snow off my car. It’s first time for me to be driving the car in winter. Anyhow, I’m home now and guess what I am thinking…
The hot chocolate drink I had at Baia Verde bar in Catania, Sicily
This hot chocolate was so creamy, I could just eat it, not drink. It’s so different from the hot choco drink I usually have in a café here, which is almost the same as what my Tassimo can make. But this thick choco drink is a real energy booster to me. I wonder how to make this – perhaps melt a block of chocolate in a pan and add some milk, or is it just cacao powder mixed in a hot milk. I’ll make an experiment.
The Public at The Louvre
So they say that the Louvre Museum is a must-visit place once you’re in Paris. It’s definitely true and for the art lovers it must be a sublime experience. It’s also a lovely experience for the not so art enthusiasts for it might be a memorable once in a lifetime opportunity. I was excited to see the glass pyramid at the Louvre though I would also love to see the Monalisa of Leonardo Da Vinci but it wasn’t the best of our luck at the time. Instead, I took some photos around and it so happened that I caught a lot of people in them.
A man standing on....?
Really, what was that man doing? And what was that he was standing on? I can’t seem to figure out what it was but in one of my photos I saw a man getting on that thing. I did not see it in my own eyes then but only when I was browsing my pictures.
People admiring the place?
Some were posing for picture taking and some were just looking around. Even on a cold winter day they didn’t mind at all. They must be tourists, too. I was admiring the entire structure and I didn’t mind getting these people in my photos. Continue reading
Stuck with Canon PowerShot G7
Believe it or not, this is the first time I have a digital camera that’s hard to get rid of. I used to fancy small digicams but after having problems with the battery-life I have stopped hunting for new ones in the market. This Canon PowerShot G7 is my fourth digicam and it was hubby (as always) who decided to purchase it after checking all the specs and reviews. We’ve had it for about five years now. Although it’s not as slight as the previous ones I had, I love to tuck it in my bag anywhere I go to take pictures.
My five-year old Canon PowerShot G7
The last time I checked for the latest models of Canon PowerShot it was the G12. It looks a little bigger than G7 and I could imagine how it would be in my hands. I have taken good photos with my 10-megapixel Canon PowerShot G7 and the battery is still working great. I must say it’s the best digital camera I’ve ever owned. As you can see, it doesn’t look like the normal handy and compact digicam but it resembles more of the good old film camera. Even so with that look I don’t want to bargain it with the small ones.
