    Love all of these. I particularly love how glittery Ruby Mine is! I don't think I own that one yet!

      It was an impulse buy at Walgreens sometime last year. Great one if I do say so myself! :)

Adriatic Adventure: Slovenia, Part 2 of 3

Image
After our drive through the Soča River Valley and Vršič Pass, as seen in Part 1 , we checked in at Guest House Marco in Bled, Slovenia.  Our host Marco was an absolute delight with a warm and inviting personality.  He knew so much about his country and gave us great advice on what we should see and what we could probably pass on.  If you're ever in Bled I definitely recommend staying at his Guest House.  We were lucky and had the entire place to ourselves.  Perks of traveling right before summer tourism picks up! Within walking distance from Guest House Marco is Lake Bled.  As seen in this photo, Lake Bled also has a little island on which perches the Church of Assumption .  It's apparently tradition for the groom to carry his bride up the 99 steps from the island's dock up to the church.  You can visit the island via the pletna boats or by renting a boat (or swimming or stand up paddle boarding!).  While a lovely option, w...

Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge

Image
Another fantastic Northern Ireland site is the rope bridge at Carrick-a-Rede .  Located near Ballintoy in County Antrim, this bridge was first erected by fishermen about 350 years ago.  It spans over a 23-meter deep and 20-meter wide chasm and was traditionally used by the fishermen so that they could check their salmon nets.  Today fishermen no longer work in the area due to a diminished availability of salmon.  In the 1960's fishermen caught approximately 300 salmon per day, but by 2002 only 300 salmon were caught in a single season. The original rope bridge consisted of a single rope hand rail that was replaced with a two hand railed bridge by the National Trust .  So suffice it to say it's much safer now than I'm sure it was 350+ years ago!  For those afraid of heights, crossing is definitely a thrill since the rope bridge undulates as everyone walks across it.  However, the staff has safety in mind as only a maximum amount of individual...

Lemon Poppy Seed Bundt Cake

Image
Earlier this week was my boyfriend's birthday.  And what better way to celebrate it (and channel Spring) than with a delicious lemon poppy seed bundt cake.  I found this recipe on Sally's Baking Addiction  via Pinterest, so please see her site for the  full recipe .  Be prepared to use a lot of lemons (it's totally worth it, though!) and expect to eat more than one slice in a sitting! Preheat the oven to 350F.  Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl and stir the poppy seeds into the dry mixture.  Set aside.  In a separate bowl, beat the butter for one minute until creamy.  Then add the sugar and beat on high for an additional two minutes until they're blended well together.  Beat in the lemon juice and zest.  (I didn't include zest as I don't have a zester.) Combine the dry and wet ingredients along with the buttermilk and blend on low speed.  Pour the batter into a bundt pan and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a...
