Travel writing, food journeys, and dispatches from the road.
Today, I booked two trips, one for next weekend, is the first of many to come, to Ithaca, NY where my dear friends Tom & Sue have relocated from San Antonio. The second trip was…
Texas, prior to 2005 it was on my visited map because it met my standard rule of inclusion which is, you just can’t drive through, you have to stop and do something, and in summer…
As well as France in general, this is the one a certain Aussie in London has been waiting for. THE FOOD. Oh the food, the food, the fucking glorious food. It is beyond words, though…

I didn’t take as many of these as I wanted, but here’s what I’ve got. Not a street sign, an address 81 rue de l’Universitie the post WWII address of Paul & Julia Child. This…
