Hi, all. If you’ve joined me here before, you know that I consider it my duty as a foodie and a food writer to experience local cuisine whenever I go anywhere. You know, when in Rome…
This time, I was visiting friends in Alabama, and here’s my foodie report.

Hi, all. Have you ever noticed that things always seem to happen all at once? I’ve been out of work all year, since January, and freelance projects have been few and far between. Now, all in the span of 2 weeks, I have this huge freelance project, a request to take a copyediting test, a job interview, and, consequently, several days’ training for a part-time seasonal gig. Add to that two doctors’ appointments, which I made when I had nothing on the
radar. And considering that I spent four hours at one doctor’s office earlier this week, you can see how that would put a crimp in my schedule. I’m not complaining—I’m grateful for the work. I just wish everything wouldn’t happen all at once. And I had to skip my blog last week because of it all.
Okay, enough of that.

When I was 16, my parents took me on a European tour. It was one of those bus tours, where you travel with a bunch of people for two weeks from place to place. We hit London, Paris, Lucerne, Venice, Florence, and Rome. I wish my palate had been more sophisticated then, because that’s a foodie’s dream. But, since I was only 16, don’t expect some European food manifesto.

Hi, everyone. Just got back from a two-week road trip Friday afternoon. My fellow road warrior, Andi Marquette, and I hit 14 states! We started in Colorado on Sunday, July 19, headed southeast through Oklahoma and Texas, then drove along the Gulf Coast through Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, then down to Orlando by Thursday for a writers’ conference. (Andi, by the way, won an award for Best Mystery Novel.) On Sunday, we headed farther south to Ft. Lauderdale to visit a couple of friends of mine, then hit the road again on Tuesday, heading north. We went through Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, and finally New York.
The adventure begins…

Hi, all. This coming week, I will be on the road again, heading to a writers’ conference in Orlando. It’s going to be a road trip because I’m starting out in Colorado. My companion and I are planning to go through Texas and then go along the Gulf coast to Florida. After the conference and a quick visit with friends, we’re going to drive back up to New York, possibly along the Atlantic coast. And you know what that all means? More food adventures!

Hi, everyone. I spent the last few days in New Mexico and I had a great time. I’ve had New Mexico on my list of places I want to visit but I never quite made it there until now. It’s an incredible place—funky, beautiful, mystical, historic, educational, and awe-inspiring. And for foodies, it’s a place where cuisine is an experience unto itself.
Let’s have a taste of the Southwest…
