Itadakimasu!
Japan. There it was. It came into view under the left wing as we descended below the cloud cover. A journey that I had been wanting to make for over ten years was now being made. It hadn’t been a planned event, but rather a spur of the moment decision when I found myself in a doldrums of a place in my life. My mind and health were not in a good place and hadn’t been for some time.

HEY MOM WHAT'S FOR DINNER?
falafel pita sandwich jollof rice As you may know many great dishes are the one made by non-Americans. Don’t get me wrong American’s have some tasty dishes as well, but if you travel different countries your taste buds get a rude awakening. I mean if you go out of country the first thing you want to do is eat. So you look for a restaurant that will fill your belly and entice your taste buds.

Soups of the World
Before the pandemic, I traveled a lot around the globe, both for work and pleasure. I’ve been to almost 30 countries and 150 cities of the world, many multiple times. Wherever I go, one of my favorite things to do is to sample local food, and soups in particular. I’m pretty adventurous with local cuisines: I would try anything once, even (or especially) if I don’t know of what the dish was made. My rationale is simple: If people have been eating something for centuries or even millennia, who am I to judge them? If I don’t like a food item, I will avoid it in the future but at least I’d know what it tastes like.

Best NZ (or AUS) Dessert
Back in 2015 I travelled New Zealand for eight months. I spent most of the trip WWOOFing (Willing Workers on Organic Farms) around the North Island. Of all the farms I visited, my favourite had the perfect view of Mt Taranaki and was primarily off the grid. The family was incredibly welcoming. I spent my morning helping feed the animals (mostly guinea pigs being raised as pets but also chickens and ducks), checking cows and sheep, and weeding the garden that was designed using principles of permaculture.

The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach
Christmas with no snow. Gotta blame it to Climate change, or maybe I got used to the cold winters here. The ‘white Christmas’ wasn’t white this time! A horror for many. For me it was perfect. Cold as usual. No snow. Minus the usual greenery, all looked grey. Pine trees were the only ones endured enough to accept the low temperatures, sleet and freezing rain.

Seaweed Birthday Soup
In Korea, miyeok-guk (seaweed soup) is also known as birthday soup. It’s the first soup mothers are fed after giving birth, and it’s eaten every year afterward in remembrance. It’s a clear broth, heavy with seaweed and tiny pieces of beef. I grew up eating seaweed soup. My mother didn’t cook, but she did miss Korean food and would sometimes ask one of my Korean great-aunts to cook for us. I loved those meals. Often we would be too eager to take the soup to the table and would eat it standing in the kitchen, slurping up the hot salty liquid and slippery wakame. My mother would be there too, standing in her slippers and a bathrobe, making small noises of pleasure as she ate. It was one of my favorite things— watching her enjoy food. She spent a lot of my childhood on extreme diets, but she could never say no to seaweed soup.
