I will write about the cruise, but sufice it to say, the food was quite good, and I bought a cookbook. We tried to make something form it when we got home, but that will have to wait until tomorrow to see more about that. At first, I tried eating only bland simple food, but […]

I am about to embark on a cruise, to celebrate Cartoonist’s 16th birthday. I don’t know what to expect, but I do know I won’t be cooking. I’ll report back what happened and if I was able to eat as close to the source as possible while I was away. We shall see. I’ll miss […]
