This cruise has been an incredible journey i will write more about that later, unless I don’t. But I want to capture my trip through Egypt to the Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM). So I have prepared 3 comprehensive shared photo albums for your enjoyment. The story

I have finally finished 7 articles on the Time Scalable Design Process, the guide for every designer to assure their work is both professional and thorough, regardless of the context of the design project. It's an approach similar to the checklist approach of surgeons or airline pilots as

When one thinks of great Italian wines, immediately the great reds pop into mind: Brunello, Barolo, Chianti, Amarone, etc. World class wines that are in demand all over the world. When one thinks about white wines, however, different associations are made. Food friendly, quaffable, light, cheap, and so on. There

I have noticed that the so-called great cooking experts are creating a violence against decent cooking that actually is surprisingly simple. They will add complexity for its own sake, add surprising taste sensations when none are needed. Among the unnecessary ingredients I have found are lemon juice, white wine, bottarga,

There is an amazing film that is so powerful that watching it is one of those events you can’t get out of your mind hours or days after seeing it. The film, Piccolo Corpo (Little Body) by debut director Laura Samani is an almost virtuoso display of the all

Our trip to Sicily was an amazing adventure, I will try and give some of the highlights of our trip, out of sequential order. I already related my finest trattoria experience and here is my initial impressions of Sicily. I was never in Sicily before so I was prepared for
