Greek salad I had in Naxos..

my primary target in Venice: the Tetrarchs

from left to right: Diocletian, Maximian, Galerius, Constantius Chlorus.

Well, this is my first food submission. And I'm rather proud of it.

Sweet and spicy pan seared tuna with rice noodles, home grown salad, crunchy pickles, soya beans and home grown garnish. (chives and spring onion)
With home grown mint tea.

The trick is to get the pan really hot with some oil, while the tuna is seasoned with sugar (trust me) and chilli flakes. The oil I used was standard olive oil with some of my mum's chillies in it (for about 6 months) and it's hot. The outside of the tuna is cooked until crispy bit not all the way through.

This is a very famous golden statue of Everard 't Serclaes (*) in the centre of Brussels, Belgium.

It is said among locals that the statue brings luck & grants the wishes of all who touch it. Many tourists touch (or rather rub) the statue, and this constant polishing keeps the body depicted in the statue in a shining color compared to the rest of the sculpture. Other parts are also touched frequently by the tourists such as the face of an angel, a dog, and one of the shields.

(*) Everard 't Serclaes (c. 1320 – 1388), lord of Cruyckembourg (Ternat), a citizen of Brussels, was made famous by his recovery of that city from the Flemish.

At the death of John III of Brabant on 5 December 1355, his daughter Joanna and her husband, Wenceslaus, succeeded to the Brabantine throne, but this was disputed by the count of Flanders, Louis de Male. Louis invaded Brabant and quickly seized Brussels. During the night of 24 October 1356, Everard scaled the city walls at the head of a group of patriots and drove the Flemings from the city. This enabled Joanna and Wenceslaus to make their Joyous Entry into the city.

Everard was later made schepen (alderman) of the city five times. He was assassinated for having defended the city's rights against the lord of Gaasbeek. Everard is commemorated by a monument carved by artist Julien Dillens (1849–1904). The monument is located on Charles Buls street, close to the town square.

She's just like the other traveling fairies, but she also learns new things besides magic. She loves getting involved with mysteries and meeting new people as she goes. She dreams to become a guardian fairy one day.

A crappy photo for a good cause.
(This was NOT my idea, a friend told me about it)

THE RULES:
1. when you feel like you want to cut, take a marker or pen and draw a butterfly on wherever the self-harm occurs.
2. name the butterfly after a loved one, or someone that really wants you to get better.
3. NO scrubbing the butterfly off.
4. if you cut before the butterfly is gone, it dies. if you don't cut, it lives.
5. if you have more than one, cutting kills them all.
6. another person may draw them on you. these butterflies are extra special. take good care of them.
7. even if you don’t cut, feel free to draw a butterfly anyways, to show your support. if you do this, name it after someone you know that is suffering right now, and tell them. it could help.

A little warm up from today.
