  on Dec 30, 2012
  After nearly 4 months in the pot, here is the bounty from about 5 spuds planted from a grab bag of mixed fingerlings that had been sitting around. Not too bad. The greens and leaves hadn't really completely wilted or died as most literature I read sa...

• Roti
  on Nov 29, 2012 in Roti Krabi Thailand
  Thai roti, not to be confused with Indian roti, is a rolled up crepe-like desert pancake, usually sweet, typically filled with condensed milk and bananas. Here in Krabi, we sampled it nightly, whipped up in saute pans in carts alongside the streets.

• Thai Markets
  on Nov 7, 2012
  Anyone who has spent a minute or two with me while traveling knows one thing: I love markets. I'm drawn to them like a magnet. Chiang Mai and the surrounding region, in northern Thailand, has some of the best food markets I've ever been to. They are...

• Amman
  on Sep 14, 2012 in Jordan Amman
  Having spent time in Doha and Dubai, it was really refreshing to scope out Amman in Jordan, to get a feel for the buzz of a true middle eastern capital city. Doha and Dubai are super modern, new, even botique-ish, and finding any grit, bustle, or his...

• Luxurious Lux
  on Aug 31, 2012 in Luxembourg
  I visited Lautauro in Luxembourg a few days before flying back to the US. While not the most scintillating place in the world, it does have some redeemable factoids. For example, they speak luxembourgish (even the name is weird), which is some strang...
