Friday Writing Prompt

March 30, 2012 athenapappasLeave a comment

Louisiana, May 2010 How does landscape and surroundings inform our writing? Think back to the landscape you grew up in…does it manifest itself in your writing today? Or do you see more of your current landscape? So for today’s prompt, think of a word that best describes that landscape. Take that word and do a… Continue reading Friday Writing Prompt

Adventures in Cooking: Sesame Chicken and Szechaun Green Beans

March 29, 2012 athenapappasLeave a comment

I have been waiting a week to try this one, ever since I saw it posted on Marcus Samuelsson’s blog . It did not quite turn out like the picture on the blog, but it was quite good.

I also came up with a great addendum to my musings on balance. Unfortunately, I completely forgot what I wanted to say. So, I will add ALWAYS WRITE YOUR IDEAS DOWN! I can’t even count the number of times I have written the perfect line in my head only to forget it the next day.

It has been almost a year since my trip to Turkey, and my writing on those travels has been rather…nonexistent. I’ll start to dip my toes into that with this picture. In the Cappadocia region of Turkey are these quite fascinating natural land formations known locally as “fairy chimneys.” Early Christians used this landscape to… Continue reading Cappadocia, Turkey

One of my all time favorite authors is Nick Hornby. His prose is just brilliant. The kinds of passages that you want to grab the nearest pen and underline to share with everyone you ever meet.

When do you become a New Yorker?

March 22, 2012 athenapappasLeave a comment

Storm from a Williamsburg Rooftop, Summer 2011 I would say you become a New Yorker after surviving an earthquake and hurricane within a month. And Godzilla. Or most likely when you truly believe in the greatness of the G train. But I read this really lovely article by Jackie Berg on Thought Catalog. She says… Continue reading When do you become a New Yorker?
