Returning food to the sacred
I’ve been quiet here. The rush and constant movement of traveling has made it hard for me to find a rhythm for my writing. Even more-so difficult with food and how much I’ve been taking in and learning. I have some reviews of amazing places to share, but you know my heart lies with the […]
I’m beginning to plan for two upcoming gatherings that are centered around food. I can’t quite say they are both dinner parties, as one is another of my Blooming Table gatherings where we will be engaging in the art of putting bouquets together. The other is a proper sit down meal. Both however, contain […]

I’ve been eating out for every meal since we landed in Thailand. It’s the way of things for digital nomads unless you’re renting a place with a kitchen, and this is rare, certainly not the route we are going. There have been places here where the food tasted great, but the service was awful. We’ve […]
Working for yourself in a world that predominantly centers around the computer makes for an incredibly mobile life. I’ve always been a writer, but when I found the world of blogging, all of my work went digital with the exception of the occasional mixed media art piece I’d create. For Jon and I, this was […]
If you follow me on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, you know that I’ve finally landed in Thailand. Jon and I have been wanting to come to Thailand together since we met 10 years ago. Even though he set out on a year long trek through Asia while we were together, at that time I was […]
I love this time of year, Thanksgiving, the chill in the air, (yes… even in Maui), and the way we gather together to share our gratitude and break bread. I love the colors, the teas we drink, how coffee just tastes better with the cooling weather and how we are inundated with squash at every […]
