We like to think we’re savvy, experienced travelers. But we still get surprised when the unexpected happens.
Swedish food – Låt oss äta! (Let’s eat!)
In Stockholm, Mary gained a true appreciation for Swedish food. This week she writes about her favorite dishes…and shares two recipes.
My new word for the summer
Mary has the writer’s chair this week. She has a story to tell about a French / Peruvian / Spanish word that brought her great joy.
Athens, Not So Much
Our trip to Athens didn’t go as we’d planned. A big setback on day 1; took the rest of the trip to recover.
Feliz Ano Novo!
We celebrated the New Year in Portugal with a mix of holiday traditions. Plus, Mary is sharing a recipe for a delicious party dish.
In the Land of the Ninots
At the Museu Faller de Valéncia, we enjoyed looking at ninots saved from the annual Fallas Festival since the 1930’s.
This Cook is Not a Chef
Mary shares two delicious recipes that utilize ingredients we brought back from Spain – saffron and pimentón (paprika).
Holy Ghost Wine-and-Spice-Braised Beef
Mary found a recipe for Holy Ghost Wine and Spice Braised Beef, a delicious dish with a fascinating history.
