Yesterday was Father's Day. I, being hungry, decided to bake a cake. So, I get through the process and put it in the oven. It occurs to me that I didn't have frosting.

Posh Nosh
Restaurant menus are like blurbs for real estate properties. Colourful, descriptive, and mostly unintelligible language used with flourish to sell mutton dressed up as lamb. Heavy on the adjectives, a particularly pretentious and pompous menu might boast "slow roasted tenderloin of wild African boar, hand glazed with New Zealand Manuka honey, nestling on a bed of Moroccan couscous and finished with an Indonesian green pepper sauce." Our salivary glands should be full to overflowing with expectation at this magnificent dish, made with elements from no less than four different global locations.

Cuisine Spotlight: Bandeja Paisa
For my first post in the new "Cuisine Spotlight" series, I will be focusing on my favorite dish here in Colombia, which is known as the "Bandeja Paisa." Flavorful, unique, and made up of different food groups, "Bandeja Paisa" is a conglomeration of the best of Colombian cuisine, specifically of the Antioquia region. You can tell by its name that this popular food dish has its origins with the Paisas, who are the inhabitants of Department of Antioquia. If you translated "Bandeja Paisa" from Spanish to English, it would roughly mean "Paisa Platter."
