		<description><![CDATA[The time has come yet again to hop across "The Pond" to my native Slovakia for a bit of rest and recreation. After a year 's hiatus, I am joined again by Andi and for 10 days also by Francis and Lisa who will be taking a train from Switzerland to join us in Slovakia on the 27th of June.  We have been here for a week now so I am using the first day of bad weather to update this thing.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don't remember what my first encounter with Kurt Vonnegut was, but it must have been impressive. Impressive enough to prompt me to look him up and to read some of his novels. I think it all started with his last one - A Man Without a Country, which I listened to while I tried to fall asleep one night. I did eventually fall asleep, but only long after the book finished. Then came a classic - Slaughterhouse-Five: A Novel which undoubtedly is one of the best written books I have ever read. Browsing through library stacks one day I stumbled upon a tiny little book with an intriguing title - God Bless You Dr. Kevorkian.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From our kitchen, that is. Over the years we have accumulated quite a collection of spices. Starting with asafoetida (or hing, if you insist), through berbere and cardamom pods (both green and black) to vanilla and yellow mustard - it was all in there, stuffed several rows deep in a cabinet. An unfortunate  consequence of this arrangement is that every time we needed a bottle of spice that was not in the first row we had to rummage through everything and inadvertently drop some of them on the counter.]]></description>
