Not So Refreshing…

You're in a fine French restaurant along the Normandy harbor. The day has been a tiresome one and you are ready to eat like royalty, the various, desiring forms of French cuisine already forming within your mind. Suddenly, a waiter arrives with a dish you do not recognize... it would appear to be some sort of dessert, or perhaps an aid for the change of palate? You take up the spoon, scoop up a liberal amount of the dish, and plop the mix into your mouth. The resulting taste is something you did not expect... an unlikely blend of creme with most overwhelming companions in flavor.

WWII Tidbits: The Mortar Men

This gallery contains 1 photo.

“All the mortar men had to do was work out his load (his charge) to reach so many meters away – his height, his deflection – and they could drop them (the Germans were very good with mortars) and they within the first round, they could be dropping mortar round straight on the people’s specific positions – […]

He smells the battle from afar, 
The thunder of captains and shouting.

Blog Remodeling

Today the Adventure Writer’s Blog is getting a new look – the theme mystique! As well as providing a few new widgets, the mystique theme has an abundance of new features (such as a featured image, new post formats, etc.) and I am, at the moment, unacquainted with! Good thing I learn quickly… now to see what this theme can do.

UPDATE: Loving the features available with Mystique! May consider doing a weekly quotation with the quote format…

Off to see the family…

In a few days I’ll be off to see some family members that have just come up from Louisiana, and I won’t have the chance to do any blogging! Therefore, tomorrow I’ll be preparing a set of posts that will automatically publish each day until I’m back. Maybe I’ll even have time to throw in a review or two! Feel free to post comments on any of my posts, I’ll approve (or disapprove, in the case of spam) and respond accordingly when I get back!
