Cooking Class in Antigua

Guatemalan Cooking Class in Antigua

It’s hard to fully explain how much I love food.  An ex-girlfriend of mine had some idea when she accused me (I kid you not) of loving food more than her.  Needless to say, she wasn’t too happy when I made no effort to deny the accusation, and we broke up a short time later.  …

Tolma Festival in Dvin

Eating All the Things at the Tolma Festival in Dvin

There are few things which can make me so excited I get teary-eyed.  Coming upon an epic view while hiking is one.  Crushing a huge sale back in the day was another.  But food?  Food can get me just about every time.  So when I saw a meetup on Couchsurfing to go to the Tolma …

Meeting some of the camels for the first time

Camel Safari in the Thar Desert

If you don’t die of thirst, there are blessings in the desert. You can be pulled into limitlessness, which we all yearn for, or you can do the beauty of minutiae, the scrimshaw of tiny and precise. The sky is your ocean, and the crystal silence will uplift you like great gospel music, or Neil …

The Heaping Plate Before Me: Siam Rice Thai Cookery

The first time I went to the Siam Rice Thai Cookery, I experienced the single greatest day of over-indulgence of my life.  For my second visit, I expected more of the same, and I wasn’t disappointed. As friends and family might attest, I have two remarkably hollow legs in which I can store large quantities of …
