I may not be keeping up with the news while traveling, but one subscription I was sure to keep was the Chicago Magazine’s weekly “Dish” newsletter. I may not need an email digest about shootings in West Virginia and bombings in Iraq, but don’t think I’m going to ignore the Chicago food scene.
Anyhow, the [...]

a different road
eating our way through asia
So as you may be able to imagine (or tell from our photos), one of the things rIAm and I are focused on during our travels is food. And perhaps we’ve talked about food a bit on this site; we’ve definitely shown photos and made commentary on flickr. But when we had a question come [...]
more photos!
I got a lot more photos uploaded yesterday, so have a look. There is also a new Malaysia 2007 set, where I have our KL and Taman Negara photos, as well as some from Penang (more coming soon-ish). If you haven’t seen them yet, all of the Taiwan photos we’re posting from the road [...]

delicious dinner
Not that it’s a contest or anything, but the epod user in Seattle has two posts that inspired this one: here’s what we had for dinner tonight. Super tasty and delicious! (click the photo to get a description of the meal)
Queso Fundido con Rajas y Maiz
Our friend Armando first exposed us to queso fundido at Nuevo Leon. With rIAm’s family, we had more at Mi Tierra. rIAm went gaga over the version at La Taqueria Superrica. It was still good at El Jardin. So when I came home with some poblanos and the idea we could make our own version, [...]
