Food & Drink > Soup & Stew Recipes Recipes: Your best soup recipe

20 of 77

During my two years spent in Indonesia, nothing I ate compared to a good bowl of soto ayam, literally, chicken soup. It varies across the country, but everywhere I went it seemed so hopelessly complex that I never tried to make it. It involved using a mortar and pestle while seated to mash garlic and turmeric root to a smooth... More..

Pets & Animals > Horse Training & Riding How to teach your horse to side-pass

2 of 5

A high-level dressage horse effortlessly moving sideways across the arena is a sight to behold. The horse's legs cross and uncross neatly as the rider sits motionless above and the crowd holds it's breath. The side-pass is a beautiful move in the show ring, and also useful for tricks like opening gates on horseback. The well-... More..

Although pressing flowers in books will do the trick, provided the flowers are layered ... More..

Christmas morning I sat down near the beach on Bunaken Island in Northern Indonesia, and was served a delicious jam with my toast. I was told it was nutmeg jam, yet it possessed none of the sweet, sharp scent of the spice found in pumpkin pie. I thought nothing of it until later that evening.After a day of scuba diving, I ret...

So often, I hear people talking about their recent vacations, and every time, I am shocked. How is it possible that my good friend spent a week in Mexico and never left the all-inclusive resort? Why did my great uncle go all the way to the other side of the world, returning only to complain about how 'backwards' things are 'o... More..

Early on in my horseback riding lesson experience, I became a proud member of the Flying Dismount Club. Of course, my flying dismount was not exactly planned.
