FOOD PORN

Like some people collect postcards or spoons or cigars from the places they visit, I collect photos of the food I ate. This, to me, is the best way to remember a vacation. Though, the "v-word" is hardly what travelling feels like these days...geesh! Ah well, all the more reason to take pleasure in the everyday simplicity of a surprisingly good meal.

Here are some of my favorite foodie memories, with photos to match. Note how the cuisine has nothing to do with the place I ate it. For example, sushi in Cape Cod, chevre in Nebraska, tacos in New York....Oh, how I love discovering a culture within a culture, especially when it's edible.



Ricotta & Lamb Meatballs/ Fish Tacos with Pineapple-Jicama Slaw, NYC 2006






Sri Lankaan vegetarian curries, Santa Cruz 2005

French Cheese & Olive Plate, Omaha 2006 Seaweed & Daikon Salad, Cape Cod 2005 (obviously an American-sized portion)
Huckleberry Soft-Serve, Bonners Ferry ID 2006 (in the peak of Huckleberry season)

This is just a sampler. I've got a lot more to dig up, and a lot more to come!
