Let's take a trip back to the Jamaica of 1967. Way before Reggae became a thing, but not long after Ska started taking on different forms. Slower rhythm with melodies inspired by pop songs from from American

Who says there are no more cool murals? You just need to look for them (preferably in places you have not looked before!) That's how I stumbled across this really nice image painted on the gate of ...

Sometimes you come across a song that strikes you in a particular way. You immediately need to look it up and find other versions of it. It may in fact be nothing special at first, but you need to see

It's been a year since I last visited the Museo Franz Mayer, for the same reason, with the same people: to see the exhibition of the best photos from the world press. I even posted about it. So once again

Making a soup is the most straight forward thing: You cut up the veggies, throw them in water, and cook them. Right? Well, there is a lot more to it, if you really want to take it to the top. One such

Today I would like to present a very simple, yet vibrant mural from the center of Tepoztlán, where the street Av. Galeana turns into Av. Ignacio Zaragoza as it crosses 5 de Mayo which in turn becomes Del

Last weekend I participated in the global effort to save the cinemas, and went to see The Odyssey in a movie theater. It's been years since I last went to the cinema, but there was so much hype about this

I have to admit, one of my all time favorite things to eat is has always been a good pesto. Clearly, not all pestos are the same, and it really depends on the mix of ingredients. At this point it's a to

I'm really glad to see the Scrobble.life site taking off. Since my introduction a month ago, and subsequent learning experience regarding film reviews, there seems to have been quite a bit of activity.

It's been over two weeks since the last Beer Saturday Challenge was posted by @detlev . Also, I already have covered Indio Beer, on more than one occasion. But never mind, there is a good reason to write

After my slow cooking recipe from last week, I want to swing to the opposite this time: using a lot of heat in a brief time. And what would be more ideal for this than a Stir Fry? Have Everything Cut and

Sometimes you tend to discover new things in stuff you thought you knew, only to realize it goes way deeper than you ever expected. For me that's the case with Nina Hagen these days. I've always liked

As I said, the town of La Paz, Baja California Sur, is full of murals. So much so, that after a while it needs something extra special to make you stop and take a good look... and then, another one. This

Sometimes you just want to take your time cooking. Letting the tastes combine gradually, over a low, simmering flame. Today I wanted to try this by making a simply curry dish. While the variety of options

Have you heard abot BlockTunes? I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't, since it is a pretty new app on the block (pun well intended), and thus it doesn't have too much music to offer... yet. However, it

I found this very pretty mural on one of the walls in Tepoztlán last weekend. Actually our objective was not sightseeing, but that town is just covered with beautiful wall paintings. And walking past this

Over the last two days my wife and I went to Tepoztlán, a small town about an hour south of Mexico City. Since we were there "on business" I did not go crazy about preparing a touristic post,

This video keeps getting lost. It was created waaaay before the actual construction documented in this series of posts, as the final project of one of our classmates from the Earthship Academy. Then it

When vegetables are exposed to the right conditions, something extraordinary happens: The sugars and proteins break down and combine into new compounds, which in turn can break down and combine further,

This was the video for our crowdfunding campaign four years ago. Though the campaign itself is long and gone, the place, the people, and the theater are doing well. And I thoght it would be nice to have
