Simple is Better
Simple is better. At least in my opinion, everything is better when it's kept simple. Except for sex. Sex should be adventurous. But I digress.

Aruban Penne Pasta
I was fortunate enough to be sent to Aruba on a conservation-education trip back in the 1990s. Uncharacteristically, I did not do much “homework” on Aruba and was surprised by it’s desert feel. I was expecting tropical lush Isle. What I got was a lot of scrub brush and scrabble.

What a Fish Means
I love seafood ever since I was a little kid ordering shrimp cocktail off the kid’s menu on our annual family beach vacation. But the one fish that’s been the most impactful on me, in addition to being one of my favorite meals, has been salmon. I didn’t really understand salmon until I moved from the East Coast to Seattle, in the middle of the Pacific Northwest. Before moving here, salmon was just another (delicious) entrée. But the Pacific Northwest-from California all the way up to Alaska-is where fresh salmon comes from. And it’s also one of the most important fish in the region-scientifically, economically, politically, and culturally.

Around the World with Royal Caribbean
Anyone who knows me knows that I love to cruise and only on Royal Caribbean. I recognize that every cruise I take is different and that not everyone has the same experience. Over the last ten years though, I have had some pretty amazing food from around the caribbean; these are just a few.

Champei's Amok. Top Story - July 2021.
When I was eighteen, I was in the peak of my youth and having just been freed from the clasps of school, I packed a bag and lived solo in Cambodia for six months. The first moments that I spent in Cambodia, from stepping off the plane to sitting on the gutter with a lady who had no teeth but the biggest smile eating amok are the clearest in my memory.

Which is the best Greek Cafe in the U.K? and why is it “Think Pastry” in Edinburgh?
Because it exceeds expectations of what a Greek cafe is. The best Greek cafe in the U.K needs to have the best Freddo Espresso. Think Pastry has exactly that. It’s intense but not bitter.It’s pleasing and aromatic and made with a lot of love.

Rum cake Nostalgia
Picture this: Laying on the beautiful and warm sand in the Bahamas, the water is bright blue, staying at the Atlantis Resort and having a delicious rum cake on the beach. Well most of everything is true but me eating rum cake didn’t happen because I was 10 when my family went to the Bahamas and of course I could not have rum cake, but the smell was amazing! It was sweet, warm and made my mom laugh, which I did not know why until years later was her being drunk off a slice of cake.

Garlicky Green Beans with Nuts & Raisins. Top Story - July 2021.
One of the absolutely best parts of traveling, is newfound food! There is always something novel to try—especially when you travel outside of your country of origin. I’ve eaten green beans all my life, but growing up in the USA, it was always in just two boring ways: 1) Boiled with bacon, to flavor them; or 2) Slathered with mushroom soup, cheese, and dried onions in a green been casserole. It was only after I first moved to Australia (as an expatriate for a while), that during supper at the home of some hospitable mates (friends), they excited my taste buds with green beans as I had never before experienced them! Thus, I call this dish: “Australian Green Beans” (even though I suspect it probably originated somewhere in Africa). Who knew green beans could be so exciting? It’s an easy dish to make, too.

An Egg-cellent Treat. Top Story - July 2021.
The acrid tang of fresh cigarette smoke fills your lungs as you step out of the subway station, mixing with the horrid stench of butchered fish blowing in from the harbor. You cough and slam the bottom of your woolen scarf over your nose in a futile attempt to block it out, hurrying away from the exit, eyes watering as you try not to breathe in the toxic fumes.

Sharing is Caring
When on an expedition to Borneo at the age of sixteen, and having been a rather fussy eater growing up, it’s not surprising that I experienced many foods I'd never had before. To be honest, there were times I struggled with the new cuisine - and I never quite got the hang of having noodles for breakfast. But there were some real joys in experiencing the new foods I encountered there.
