“The smell of warming cheese and wine, mellowed with the heat, rose languorously toward their faces, and they all found themselves leaning forward, hypnotized by the smell and the soft bubbling below them.” ~Erica Bauermeister, The School of Essential Ingredients “That’s too much food.” ~our server at Swiss Chuchi in Zurich “Extra cheese, please.” ~usually, my request for almost anything with cheese Wow, Erica Bauermeister’s description of fondue is quite beautiful, romantic even. I don’t disagree with her. I didn’t really disagree with our server on Saturday night either. But that didn’t stop us. After all, I’m usually always about the extra cheese. Fondue. Truth be told I’ve had it twice…

Carnitas Lonja
“I could write prophetically about how perfect the taco is.” ~Ken Baumann When it comes to perfect tacos, San Antonio has more than its fair share. Maybe not prophetically, as Mr. Baumann suggests, but even I should be writing about them more. When it comes to the best thing I eat on a regular basis, tacos are often on my list. Whether those tacos be breakfast, lunch, dinner, beef, pork or chicken (or even fish), San Antonio has them all and I eat them all. And while mostly Tex-Mex, and mostly on flour tortillas they may be, we’ve definitely got a taco for everyone, every palate and every occasion. They…

So, What Have I Been Eating?
“Time and tide wait for no man.” ~Geoffrey Chaucer “Time and eating wait for no blogger.” ~Elda Eats I don’t know how long Mr. Chaucer ever went without writing a blog post (you know, once he got started), but I will say that I’m sure he took a break to visit Canterbury in order to do research, perhaps try out some new writing implements, practice a new prose, etc. Lucky for him, he didn’t also have to worry about any Gutenberg updates to WordPress while he was dilly dallying! Yeah, yeah, I know. Twenty-first century new blogger problems, and yeah, I’m not really comparing myself to an amazing poet who…

Eating Atlanta
“What’ll ya’ have?!” ~my new favorite folks at The Varsity What a great weekend I had in Atlanta! Not only because the food was great, a few bucket list items were ticked off, but also because, after this being my second visit, I find Atlanta to be one of the friendliest and prettiest big cities I’ve visited. I love Atlanta! It was always going to be a quick visit: leave Friday after work for a nice direct flight from SAT to ATL, and head back the same way on Monday morning. What would we do in between those flights to and fro? The small plan was to have some good…

Making friends and writing blog posts…
I know, I know, I’m behind…but I’ve been working on lots of research and have been taking some courses on this stuff. But, yes, I told myself that I wasn’t going to get caught up in, or rather get left behind because of the technical stuff, as the main thing is…yep: I’ve gotta write! So, here’s some writing… XO “The great thing about new friends is that they bring new energy to your soul.” ~Shanna Rodriguez So, I’ve decided to be a blogger. A food blogger. Maybe a travel blogger. A traveling food blogger. A food blogger who travels. A person who wants to write about something. Something I know, something…
