Even though Rob and I don’t work for the same organization, we do the same type of work, so we had the happy opportunity this year of being able to attend the same professional conference, which happens to be in San Diego. While we were extremely excited to get out of frigid Boston for a few days, it turns out the west coast is experiencing … Continue reading Grazing in the Gaslamp
Portland, Maine is one of our favorite local places to visit, and while we certainly love being here in summer, winter is great too (if much colder), with fewer tourists, lower hotel prices but just as much delicious seafood. We’ve had this weekend in Portland planned for several months, our Xmas gift to each other, and we have been anticipating what we’d eat once we … Continue reading Grazing in the Old Port
It hasn’t quite been three weeks since we returned from our trip, and yet it seems like months. Even though we haven’t posted much about it yet, we’ve certainly been thinking about India and Nepal every day since we got back. I still have the yellow and red string a sadhu at Pashupatinath tied around my wrist, right before he showered me with bright orange … Continue reading On India, Nepal, and being thankful
Context and memory play powerful roles in all the truly great meals in one’s life. -Anthony Bourdain We’ve been back just a week, and are still trying to get back into the swing of work and regular life.

He who would travel happily must travel light. – Antoine de Saint Exupéry We leave for India in the morning. The last couple of weeks have been a bit crazed, between finalizing our travel plans, wrapping up work projects, arranging for cat sitters and doing laundry and packing and all the little details (did we buy enough cat food? did you pick up the prescriptions?) … Continue reading Packed and ready for India & Nepal
“If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.” ― Oscar Wilde The question of what reading material to bring on vacation is serious business for us. It’s one thing if we’re just away for a long weekend, but when we are traveling somewhere by plane, and know we’ll have a good bit of dedicated … Continue reading Vacation reading: what do you bring?
“I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list.” – Susan Sontag One month from today we’ll get on a plane heading for India (well, by way of London first). If you’ve been following our blog these past seven months or so you know how much research and planning have gone into this trip, not only because it will be the longest vacation we’ve ever … Continue reading Countdown to India
