About my Blog

With a combined love for food, travel and the written word, a blog is born. I have a passion for food - the textures, the tastes, the smells, and most importantly of all: the memories that go along with sharing a great meal with friends. I am spending a year in Germany with the ultimate goal of traveling as much as possible, eating as much as I can, and documenting it all for you to enjoy. We'll call this research for my future food establishment...which means I can write off all the money I spend on food. Right?

Really good soup...I mean REALLY, really good soup

Even on a hot day, sometimes a great bowl of soup can really hit the spot. A few weeks ago I went to Munich to spend a few days exploring the city on my own. I fell in love. Munich is a big city with a lot to offer. It is gorgeous. I have never been to any other city that is so modern, yet can still retain and proudly display its unique and fascinating history.

On my second day there, I went on a three-hour walking tour of the city. Afterwards I was starving! The tour guide was vegan and recommended a suppenkuche in the Viktualienmarkt, a small farmers-type market near town hall. I booked it over to the small tent and after a brief scan of the mostly-vegetarian menu, I chose a tomato tofu curry soup to satisfy my hunger. I watched as the woman helping me scooped a large portion into a bowl, add a scoop of jasmine rice and a generous sprinkling of saffron. Amazing. My piping hot bowl of yum was just
as delicious as it looked.


Can't wait to go back!
