The mental image of a happy oldhood.
Obama has not been everything I’ve wanted him to be but he’s sure a heck of a lot better than any of the Republicans who have raised their hands.
Quote by Tom Bordeaux (Georgia Democrat}
I think I share this sentiment with millions of Americans. Very much the same situation that Reagan was in in 1984, the first time I lived in California. Republicans obviously hate that comparisons but they don’t have much credibility in this election cycle, supporting candidates that would do much better as circus clowns than in Washington.

Tarte Tatin (4 people : takes 45-minutes) #wcwed @Rikard_Nilsson
The Tarte Tatin is one of my favorite desserts, invented by the Swiss Tatin sisters. The original recipe used apples but any fruit would work (bananas, pears, plums et cetera).
- Shortcrust pastry (made the day before and part of a larger batch to be used for other tartes like quiches and pies)
- 1-2 small apples
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 Tbs butter
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Caramelized the sugar, butter and cinnamon in a small oven-safe pan. Make sure it turns into a dark liquid but w/o burning. Slice the apples. Roll out the pastry in a circle. Add the apples in the pan and the pastry on top. Tuck in the pastry all around the pan. Cook for 30 minutes in 350 °F. Flip upside down on a plate and let cool.
Enjoy with real (homemade) vanilla ice-cream or flambéed with apple cider brandy. Enjoy!
As a result of epochal shift of power in the marketplace from seller to buyer, the customer is now in charge. We now live in the age of customer capitalism. Making money and corporate survival now depend not merely on pushing products at customers but rather on delighting them so that they want to keep on buying. To prosper, firms must have knowledge workers who are continuously innovating and delivering a steady supply of new value to customers and delivering it sooner.
What I’d call a real bookcase!
If you want to change a system, you have to disrupt the resources on which the system depends.

Fresh Homemade Swiss Müesli (8 people : takes 5-minutes) #wcwed @Rikard_Nilsson
This is an insanely easy, fast and nutritious breakfast treat that I eat almost everyday and make from scratch the night before. It last for a few days in the fridge and is crunchy, tasty and real.
- 1 Apple
- 1 Cup Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice
- 3 Cups Rolled Oats
- 1/2 Cup Raisins (other dried fruits works as well)
Grate the apple. Pour in the squeezed orange juice. Mix. The orange juice protects the apple from turning brown as well as soaking the oats. Add the rolled oats and the raisins. Mix. Let rest overnight.
Add the müesli to a bowl of whole milk yoghurt and top off with some homemade strawberry jam (picture) or a dollop of honey. Delish!
The study found that getting parents involved with their children’s learning at home is a more powerful driver of achievement than parents attending P.T.A. and school board meetings, volunteering in classrooms, participating in fund-raising, and showing up at back-to-school nights.
