“It seems to me that our three most basic needs for food, security and love art so mixed and mingled and entwined that we cannot straightly think of one without the others. So it happens that when I write of hunger, I am really writing about love.” -M.L.K. Fisher

alright, i’m officially back. Not just back in the United States but back to more regular blogging habits. Now that I don’t have to find an internet cafe and pay for the use of a computer every time I want [...]
Let’s see… where did I leave you? In Thailand I believe. So now I want to give you the low-down on Malaysia since that is where we’ve been for the last month. And here’s how I plan to do it: food. Bet you didn’t see that coming…

Food is a very big part of my life, and of Gavin’s life (thank goodness, otherwise I’m not sure how well this would work out…) so for my first food-themed post on this blog, I’m going to talk about campfire cooking… I hope you didn’t think us being in the [...]
