. "You know, I've been thinking... we-should-have-chocolate-pudding-tonight..." The words tumbled out, stepping on each other in their urgency to be heard, as if she thought I'd say no. Funny thing was I too had been craving pudding only a few hours earlier, and even if I hadn't, who am I to say no to chocolate pudding? L and I made our way through the supermarket which sells food that is whole [ahem] collecting bits and bobs for the next few days and plotting what dinner that evening would … [Read more...]
Honey-Pistachio Granola | Guest Post
As you read this RJ and I are practicing our extraordinarily poor Spanish on the unsuspecting population of Buenos Aires, and in a few days will be setting off to hike the Inca Trail. Conveniently, Katherine Martinelli is here with a gorgeous granola to keep you well fed! I've admired Katherine's blog for ages and regularly link-up in her weekly blog hops. We had hoped to meet in person in NYC this year during both our trips home but schedules didn't quite synch-up. So instead, she's here to … [Read more...]
Glacier National Park: Hidden Lake
The closer we got the more drinkable the air became, if that was even possible. It was tempting to stay at the top of the hill - the label of hill being about as accurate as that of kitty for a bobcat - but we were ravenous and lunch still needed to be assembled so down to Hidden Lake we went... A few hours earlier, the morning had started with a bear sighting before we even left the house - we weren't sure it could get much better. But on our way into Glacier National … [Read more...]
Vegan Creme Anglaise

Delicious Power Crackles | Guest Post
About now we are somewhere on Route 66 - taking the long way from Kansas City to Chicago because we can. So how, you may ask, have I had time to bring you these little morsels of goodness? Cue the magic of the blogging community! You may know Christina as one of my co-hosts for the monthly Sweet Adventures Blog Hop, or perhaps as the co-chair of Eat.Drink.Blog-2012 or maybe just from her own gorgeous blog The Hungry Australian, but today she's here to visit. A few months back I did a guest … [Read more...]
Welcome to Montana, please don’t hug the bears
"Quick, quick, come'ere, QUICK!", he bellowed. We dropped what we were doing, thankfully fully dressed already, and bolted downstairs just in time to see a 300+ lb Black Bear saunter across the front yard. Welcome to Montana. The previous afternoon we had arrived in Kalispell from Portland via Seattle and other than a remarkably turbulent descent where my brain was screaming "Oh my god we are all going to die" as my face was fixed into a slightly maniacal frozen grin in an attempt to convince … [Read more...]
2012 Trip’n: First up – Portland
We are a week and a half into our trip and I was once again far too ambitious in my 'I'll just do it on the road' planning. As such, there has been little other than one delicious soup round these parts lately. That said, the relative tranquility [neglect, sorry] is solely due to the fact that RJ and I have been traipsing around the Pacific Northwest, taking Portland by storm and eating as much as possible along the way. Here's a taste of what we've been up to once we landed in LA and hopped on … [Read more...]
