Prague has captured my soul and tugs at my heartstrings, thus I want to share my love of this beautiful city with you.

I'm excited to go and give it a try, and of course, I'll let you know what I think. And guess what? They offer Champagne from <a href="https://www.champagne-collet.com/en/portfolio/brut/" target="_blank">Collet</a>, which is an amazing Champagne house. Can't wait to share my experience with you at <a href="http://champagneria.cz" target="_blank">Champagneria</a> and let you know if this is merely a fling, or if it will lead to an engagement.</span> </p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjL831E3j452pp5AeWHKhoqsJcMa6ymQw8DSiq15kvVUbhVzrr_0HpnJsesuXcrxi2l0ywNB4lCuN5n64hVUVjVRXKpD6RaRPs96FVBFLbdUQH-ODmCIGGupl17vajEfYY3mkAIHI6CYtRS9Xsdru-apO3MEiG5ZAQGV_y4JlDv-yHaWg6Zh5W5ei-AZfA/s4000/20230922_204302.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="2252" height="242" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjL831E3j452pp5AeWHKhoqsJcMa6ymQw8DSiq15kvVUbhVzrr_0HpnJsesuXcrxi2l0ywNB4lCuN5n64hVUVjVRXKpD6RaRPs96FVBFLbdUQH-ODmCIGGupl17vajEfYY3mkAIHI6CYtRS9Xsdru-apO3MEiG5ZAQGV_y4JlDv-yHaWg6Zh5W5ei-AZfA/w136-h242/20230922_204302.jpg" width="136" /></a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Bubblehead enjoying Champagne on a visit to Paris<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhQFN1cO9_ZfWQwBWMUz8GMSZVwqzXAs6zzvCfeoZR8NP5je4E4btBThl65wPTN7T6O53gOTHglv2exy7ulW8sGyGvsCI8zBtiiiwVeRmPrmEinDXK8K2VLmoOoXuxPgX1x2oxWinke-D_C8dlVKD07fVTAQp3SyMIhTEe03iIE6S4T1ArCfnQOQS37rhy/s1600/IMG_9210.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhQFN1cO9_ZfWQwBWMUz8GMSZVwqzXAs6zzvCfeoZR8NP5je4E4btBThl65wPTN7T6O53gOTHglv2exy7ulW8sGyGvsCI8zBtiiiwVeRmPrmEinDXK8K2VLmoOoXuxPgX1x2oxWinke-D_C8dlVKD07fVTAQp3SyMIhTEe03iIE6S4T1ArCfnQOQS37rhy/s320/IMG_9210.jpg" width="240" /></a></div></div><br /><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><br /><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2927151289381775199.post-61573004319599441982023-11-29T10:10:00.005-10:002023-11-29T10:10:42.627-10:00Believe <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Pacifico; font-size: medium;"> Believe </span></p><p></p><div style="text-align: center;">In the magic that is Christmas</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIIx5SROu1HZql5gWbkGB7UGfPZ_awA45djEefXO6ira9P2iW2cRph0Jx1zOfGfHpWFtbQ0I5ES-jRmMjVo0k_N02rU2CeAmkBnKau-MYOwyEXWCS5Fhk9dOHW9O0aqVEMyfgydoNLhRbBtv9meM3VRoZigz3ywEcJe-tdx0qqoVG7Ahw0TSELqkGYu7HA/s929/20211201_162653.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="929" data-original-width="523" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIIx5SROu1HZql5gWbkGB7UGfPZ_awA45djEefXO6ira9P2iW2cRph0Jx1zOfGfHpWFtbQ0I5ES-jRmMjVo0k_N02rU2CeAmkBnKau-MYOwyEXWCS5Fhk9dOHW9O0aqVEMyfgydoNLhRbBtv9meM3VRoZigz3ywEcJe-tdx0qqoVG7Ahw0TSELqkGYu7HA/w360-h640/20211201_162653.jpg" width="360" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2927151289381775199.post-9768228601153009222023-09-27T05:02:00.000-10:002023-09-27T05:02:05.978-10:00BOO! <div><br /></div><div><ul class="break-above" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2a2a2a; list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: var(--article-body-bullet-width); padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; position: relative; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">“Last night you were unhinged.

It was most likely built at the end of the 17th century by a German craftsmen in <a href="https://www.germany.travel/en/cities-culture/wiesbaden.html" target="_blank">Wiesbaden, Germany</a>. Originally, this carousel was operated by live horses and the music came from a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calliope_(music)" target="_blank">calliope</a>.</span></span></div><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"></span></span></div><p></p></blockquote><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: small; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXeDj4OQIafJ_ky3j_vOK8KA1DVStnUA1b0-x78IxWeIODKM6AnoWyD7FezDu9I6ALxdVs9DPWVRk3_J09YGE26d9lSrZiwzw3MOTgeOl5_kXRWLw3VsqJK5A0d5S0sxXMP1siuRvHCeIvpQMRaRTx_WKvvaq0ltT0MKVpppSKIV0khoiNYkLXr1qSYTc2/s4000/20230831_162133.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="2252" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXeDj4OQIafJ_ky3j_vOK8KA1DVStnUA1b0-x78IxWeIODKM6AnoWyD7FezDu9I6ALxdVs9DPWVRk3_J09YGE26d9lSrZiwzw3MOTgeOl5_kXRWLw3VsqJK5A0d5S0sxXMP1siuRvHCeIvpQMRaRTx_WKvvaq0ltT0MKVpppSKIV0khoiNYkLXr1qSYTc2/w360-h640/20230831_162133.jpg" width="360" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">This carousel belonged to the Degli Innocenti family and has been handed down from generation to generation since the 19th century.

When we think of eggs, most of us picture breakfast - scrambled, over-easy, and my favorite, sunny-side up. Served with a side of bacon, and we're good.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But then we have Czechs. The superstitious traditionalists who believe that an egg symbolizes good luck. New life, rebirth, marriage - all must be celebrated with an egg. Gasp, you didn't hold up an egg on your wedding day?! Well then your marriage just wasn't properly blessed. Who needs a minister when you can have an egg?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I came across this company <a href="https://czecheggs.com/p/weddings" target="_blank">Czech Eggs </a>whole browsing the Christmas market at Columbus Circle in NYC, and I am smitten. I must say, this would be stunning at any wedding</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I don't need to worry about eggs getting crushed in my luggage en route home from CZ...leaving more room in my bag for Slivovice and Becherovka, yeah!</div>

Sometimes it takes being stuck at home to light a fire under someone's passion. For me, it was cooking that brought me back to this blog after a long hiatus. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To catch you up, I had a baby, still run a business, and take care of the home. That's enough to keep anyone busy! Sometimes when we are busy we let the things we really enjoy slide to to side, which is what I did. Sometimes it takes a coronavirus to slow us all down, stop and smell the roses so-to-speak. The silver lining I will take from this lockdown we are all in is that it gives us time to reconnect with ourselves, and rekindle our passions.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have to give a shout out to <a href="http://www.tresbohemes.com/" target="_blank">Tres Bohemes</a>. It was their recipe for <a href="http://www.tresbohemes.com/2020/02/healthy-czech-keto-dish-zelofleky-from-cabbage/" target="_blank">Zelofleky</a> (healthier version of my beloved Šunkofleky) that fired me up again. And damn, it was excellent! If I hadn't cooked it, I would have thought I was eating noodles, not cabbage. It was as though Lasagna and Frittata had a baby, and name it Zelofleky.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So thank you Quarantine - for you have helped me get my groove back</div>

Good thing RumFest is a mere day away. Rum cocktails, rum on the rocks, rum neat, rum-from-the-bottle, rum shots (ok, perhaps not shots), but an adundance of rum in my glass whilst at a great locale on the waterfront? I say run, run, run to drink rum. </div>

I know I am a tad late with this, but what can I say... I was celebrating. My heart is with both the US and CZ competitors, and I am thrilled for <a href="http://www.ester-ledecka.cz/" target="_blank">Ledecká </a>. She killed it on that slope and her humble response to her win makes her, in my opinion, extremely likable. So I say, "You Go, Girl!"

This year the traditional American holiday of Thanksgiving falls on Thursday 23rd November. For those hoping to celebrate it but who are ‘stuck’ in Prague (definitely not a bad thing) don’t despair, as there a number of places putting on special Thanksgiving dinners. It may not be a Czech holiday but with many mixed Czech and American couples and expatriates now living in the country, the demand for Thanksgiving meals has risen from almost zero to nearly 30 years ago to numerous places now putting them on. For all of the places mentioned below, it is advised to book in advance in order to avoid disappointment.<br />

That being said, it was as if this post by <a href="http://jetsettingfools.com/16-places-drink-craft-beer-in-prague-czech-republic/" target="_blank">JetSetting Fools</a> spoke to me. I love me some beer, and now I have a new list of places I must try. One of the spots on this list is like an old comforting blanket to me, and that is U Medvidku. It is where I had my first Budvar, and where they brew X-Beer 33, which is a story for another day (#debauchery).</div>

<a href="https://prague.tv/en/s72/Directory/c217-Sightseeing-Attractions/n11402-Prague-tops-Christmas-lists-again" target="_blank">Prague.TV</a> had an article recently that made me yearn to be in Prague for Christmas, or as we say, Vánoce. Being in Staroměstské náměstí (Old Town Square) and amongst the market along Václavské náměstí (Wenceslas Square) is just magical. There is no other word I can use to describe it. It is simply magical. </div>

<b><span style="color: #323232; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt;">Prague was ranked as
the number one place for a Christmas vacation by news magazine U.S. News & World Report. Earlier, news server CNN ranked the Christmas markets at Old Town
Square and Wenceslas Square together as among the top 10 in the world.<br />
<br />
The rankings are no surprise, as Prague typically appears on similar lists at
this time of year.<br />
<br />
U.S. News & World Report also ranked Prague highly in other areas. It is
third for a winter vacation in Europe and fourth for an affordable vacation in
Europe, fifth for both an affordable European honeymoon and a European family
vacation, sixth-best place to visit in Europe and the eighth-best place to
visit in the world.<br />
<br />
“For the month of December, the capital of the Czech Republic turns into a
winter wonderland you've got to see to believe. Its medieval architecture is
blanketed in twinkling lights and the Christmas markets are some of the best in
the world. Plus, many of Prague's attractions are free, so you won't have to
spend a fortune to sightsee,” U.S. News & World Report stated.<br />
<br />
It did not list what it considered free attractions, but places such as the
courtyards of Prague Castle, Charles Bridge, some churches and the streets of
Old Town and Malá Strana can be seen for free. The interiors of buildings in
Prague Castle, viewing towers, and most museums and galleries have an
admission.<br />
<br />
As for the city in general, the magazine described it as “a prosperous and
bustling city.”<br />
<br />
“Prague now attracts more tourists than ever. But its picturesque downtown
veils both a dark legacy and a resilient past. Dating back to about A.D. 870,
Prague has withstood numerous overthrows, invasions, fires and
floods. It's this reputation for survival and perseverance that has made the
Czech capital so fascinating. Today, its storied churches, narrow streets,
daunting hilltop castle and statue-lined bridges create the scene of an urban
fairy tale. Even the most jaded traveler would have trouble resisting this city's
charms.”<br />
<br />
Other cities on the U.S. News & World Report list for Christmas vacations
were Vienna, Taos, London, New York, Zurich, Munich,
Quebec, Edinburgh and Amsterdam.<br />
<br />
Most of the choices aside from third-placed Taos seem to be obvious picks.
Regarding Taos, the magazine said: “For a twist on the traditional Christmas,
consider spending the holidays in this small town 70 miles north of Santa Fe,
New Mexico. Snow-covered adobe buildings dot the historic downtown and handmade
gifts are available at the Taos Folk pop-up store. The roster of unique events
includes bonfires on Bent Street, which features traditional Aztec dancers.”<br />
<br />
The U.S. News & World Report travel rankings are based on analysis of
expert and user opinions. Destination rankings are updated once per year on a
rolling basis.<br />
<br />
CNN did not provide an explanation of the criteria for choosing the best
Christmas markets. Prague appears fifth on the list, though it is not clear if
that means fifth place or it is just random as the list is not numbered.
CNN recommends the markets as an alternative to “joylessly battling through
department store crowds or trawling the Internet for bargains.”<br />
<br />
Gendarmenmarkt in Berlin, Germany, was first on the CNN list, followed markets
in by Strasbourg, Vienna, and Montreal. The cities coming in after Prague are
Florence, Krakow, Birmingham, Copenhagen, and Brussels.<br />
<br />
Prague won high praise from CNN: “No city lends itself to Christmas better than
Prague. The city's two main Christmas markets, in Old Town Square and Wenceslas
Square, are only five minutes' walk from each other, so can both easily be
explored in one day,” CNN said.<br />
<br />
“Each one has the usual wooden huts found in similar markets across Europe, but
the Czech treats are what really set them apart. Visitors can grab a klobása
(Czech sausage) and wash it down with a Pilsner Urquell in the afternoon, then
hang around for the main tree to be lit up on Old Town Square,” CNN stated.<br />
<br />
The two Christmas markets start relatively late this year, on Dec. 2, due to the
late start of Advent, and run until Jan. 6, when Christmas is celebrated on the
Orthodox calendar. The start of Advent changes every year and is the fourth
Sunday before Christmas. The markets traditionally open the day before.<br />
<br />
For the past few years, there has been no single tree lighting ceremony for
security and safety concerns. The crowds had been reaching such a size that
there was the potential for accidents. The details of this year's opening day
have not been disclosed yet but most likely will follow the same pattern, with
the tree going dark and relighting several times during the first day.<br />
<br />
There should also be a program of daily entertainment on the square for the
duration of the market. Carp soup should be served for free Dec. 24 during the day.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

The piece, written by Daniela Lazarova, states, "<span style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-family: Arial, "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16.1px; font-weight: 600;">Czech Radio has brought readers rare, as yet unpublished photographs of the 1968 Russian-led invasion of Czechoslovakia. The photos were taken by Polish geologist Leszek Sawicki who was attending a conference in Prague at the time and was trapped in the capital city for several days after the invasion. Mr. Sawicki died earlier this year and the photos have come to Czech Radio courtesy of his wife who discovered them among his belongings."</span></div>

21 AUGUST 2017</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
Prague, Aug 20 (CTK) - Prague plans to offer one or two luxurious flats in the reconstructed house in the centre where Jewish German writer Franz Kafka was born to foreign writers who would not pay rent, but write a book in which the Czech capital would play the main role, Mlada fronta Dnes (MfD) has reported.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
The house situated near Old Town Square, which was used by the City Hall in the past, is now empty. Luxurious apartments are to be built there during an overall reconstruction for more than 100 million crowns, MfD wrote in its Saturday issue.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
"One or two would be designated for foreign writers. They would come to Prague for several months and write a book there that might make the city famous all over the world," Eliska Kaplicky Fuchsova (ANO), head of the City Hall's culture and tourism committee, told MfD.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
Prague would like to invite Nobel Prize laureates and other awarded writers as well as the authors of bestsellers whose books set in Prague might attract more tourists to the city, MfD writes.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
The paper also points to other bestsellers that attracted people to European cities, such as U.S. Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code set in Paris and London. It readers wanted to see the localities that the book's characters visited.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
The Prague City Hall has not mapped yet whether famous writers would be interested in its offer of creative stays, MfD adds.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
The Prague councillors are to debate the idea of Kaplicky Fuchsova in October.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
However, even if she failed to push it through, it would not mean that foreign writers cannot stay in Prague now and use its motives in their novels and poems, MfD writes.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
Two years ago, the Prague Municipal Library launched a project of residential stays for foreign writers, who had at least one book published. The interest in the programme is high, the paper writes.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
"Every year, we receive more than 100 applications of which we select six writers whom spend two months in Prague each," Katerina Bajo, coordinator of the Prague - City of Literature project, said.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
Eleven writers have already stayed in Prague and are writing books in which they mention the city within the project.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
These writers cannot count with a luxurious apartment in the centre, but they are accommodated in ground-floor flat in a prefab building at a housing estate in the Barrandov neighbourhood.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
Along with accommodation, Prague covers their travel costs and pays them a scholarship of 600 euros a month. The stay of one foreign writer costs from 50,000 to 70,000 crowns, including the costs of the promotion of the events in which the invited writers take part. In return, they are expected to create a literary work connected with Prague.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
"If the author does not meet our conditions, we may terminate the contract and they will leave," Bajo said.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
The guest writers should present part of the book featuring Prague before the end of their two-month stay. However, the contract does nor specify the deadline for completing the book.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
"Naturally, it may happen that the writer will never complete the book since Prague does not suit him, but such is life," Municipal Library spokeswoman Lenka Hanzlikova told MfD.</div>

The moment we've all been waiting for...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

.Get your Pomlázka out, boys! There aren't many days in the year when ladies want a <strike>whipping </strike>gentle whipping.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So get out your Pomlázka and make your way through the village, neighborhood, apartment building, what have you. But don't forget to start with the females in your home. Some may not like it, some may like it more than they will admit, but these <strike>whippings </strike>gentle whippings chase away illnesses and bad spirits, and bring health and youth for the rest of the year. Ladies, you know we are forever chasing that damn fountain of youth, so take it on the legs and be glad you didn't get doused with water (that's an alternative...).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Boys, recite <i>“Hody, hody doprovody, dejte vejce malovaný, nedáte-li malovaný, dejte aspoň bílý, slepička vám snese jiný…”</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Essentially, you're asking for eggs, an egg will do. Preferably painted, but white will do just as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But these days who wants eggs? These days you get money, or most likely shots of Slivovice (plum brandy) instead. YES!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So all in all, when you break it down, Easter Monday is a day when </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ladies take a <strike>whipping</strike> gentle whipping to stay young & beautiful and the men get drunk.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Na zdraví!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
