I’m headed to the International Gastronomy Festival in Guadalajara, Mexico, the first week of March, followed by a week in Mexico City. All gastronomy, all the time. If I have any readers, friends, romans, countrymen, etc., who are or will be in either place, I’d love to meet up, hang out, eat, tour, see things.… Read More Mexico, Coming Right Up!

I return from a self-imposed two week blogging hiatus, I needed to put my attention on other writing and home projects, and just take a break, refresh, and come back to it. Lots of stuff fixed and/or replaced around the apartment that I’ve been letting slide! You know the drill – the good, the bad,… Read More Bite Marks #24
Time for Round #10 of The Bread & Soup Project! So it seems that Australia, as a whole, just isn’t all that into soup.
