One of the intriguing aspects of walking around the Bologna Book Fair was perusing the array of books in so many different languages and wondering which ones would be the ones to be chosen for translation for editions in other countries… and why.

It was fun to see books we have featured on PaperTigers - like The Magic Horse of Han Gan in Italian -

but there were also lots of beautiful books that caught the eye, and which unfortunately I cannot yet begin to read. I thought for my Books at Bedtime post this week I would just share a few of these images with you, starting with one that immediately struck me as being perfect for a bedtime story:

The little girl (more…)

Tonight I made Pad Thai for dinner. A few months ago my friend Sunaree who is Thai and her husband had my husband and I over for dinner and she cooked Pad Thai for us. I have to tell you it was the most amazing and delicious experience. I didn't take a photo of dinner as it was the first time we had dinner together and I thought it would be rude. The food was incredible and the presentation so colorful. Her husband loves her cooking too and is her perfect match.

Yesterday Sunaree brought me some rice noodles and I tried my first hand at it. I bought a sauce mix ( I know, not very original) however I am going to try making the sauce on my own when I have more time. I only have about an hour in the evening during the week so cooking quickly is often a must. My husband and I had seconds and we'll both have some left over for work tomorrow. Yum!

This is the closest photo to what Sunaree served us for dinner that night (an exceptional photo of Pad Thai I might add!). Pim used a few different ingredients than Sunaree did and I used a packet of sauce picked up at the store which my husband and I both found quite good. I also substituted the shrimp for chicken and left out the egg as we are watching our cholesterol which is a good thing but fresh shrimp with this meal is incredible. I'll save the times to have it with shrimp when Sunaree is doing the cooking. Visually, hers looks so much more vibrant.

I can't say enough about Sunaree, she is an amazing cook and so sweet too, I can't wait until she cooks for us again. After all, why have a copy when you can have the real thing! :)

Sorry this is late. Busy week.

Here's Cap showing the Red Skull the label on his new boots...


and a more recent commission:



If you're interested, I have a step/by/step on the commission:

Well... I normally don't draw superheroes... I thought about Jeff's email and thought that even Super Heroes have days that they feel under the weather... and not so confident about their powers... so when Captain America is under the weather (Pun intended) and not fighting crime, he protects himself with his shield. This is a very loose sketch done in Painter.

I originally posted this on LiveJournal, and then on my website, but here it is one more time:

SFG: Captain America

How about a tribute to Captain America?
He's had a bad week.

First, in Brevard County, FL, where I live:

Capt. America' doctor faces drug, battery charges

Captain America' arrested over pants-burrito

When Capt. America Throws His Mighty Burrito
Florida doctor in superhero costume busted for groping women


And then, he gets killed!
Shocking event for Captain America
