Exploring the Places No One is Talking About
While on this trip we had a lot of good food. We didn’t eat a ton of Dutch food (besides stroopwafels and those are delicious) but we did eat food from a lot of other cultures. I don’t think we had anything bad. It is too much to list everything but here is a sampling.
It has been a while since I have done a Foodie Friday post. One thing I think all of us forget is the places that are localish to us aren’t for others. In addition it is always good to remember that there are wonderful things in our own backyards. We don’t have to spend a
Our first night in Berlin we were starving after a day of travel. We had come from the warm Mediterranean to a cold and windy city. A quick Google search told us there was a Vietnamese restaurant around the corner from our hotel. The food was so good. On our walking tour the next day

While we were in Valencia we treated Emily to an early birthday dinner. We had a 10 course tasting menu at a Michelin Star restaurant although we did have the option of 14 course. We did pick one that was on the more reasonable side regarding pricing. There were a few options but we chose
Way back in 2019 and early 2020 I started a series called on here called Close to Home to encourage myself and others to visit those places that are near where we live but have never visited. I have visited the places in the below video before but there is one thing to telling people
