2. Welcome to Paradise — Hawaii and Shrimp with Ginger Chili sauceAugust 30th, 2009
It has been hot as blazes in Los Angeles, and the thing about Los Angeles is it does hot extremely well.
3 digit temperatures, brush fires -- a heat wave turns the City of Angels from a reasonably convincing rendition of paradise (OK, in some places) to a reasonably convincing rendition of hell. So I think it's time for another piece in the travel series, because when L.A. gets like this, I would certainly love to be anywhere but here.
And I find myself (as I often do) dreaming of sea breezes and warm water and golden sand -- in short -- Hawaii.

3. We’ll Always Have Paris — Duck with Blackberry SauceJuly 14th, 2009
It's the fourteenth of July, known in France as Le Quatorze Juillet and in America as Bastille Day.
It's a national holiday in France, celebrating the Revolution and its principles of Liberte, Egalite and Fraternite.
So what day would be better to return to the summer travel series and talk about Paris? Is there any city more recognizable than Paris?
From the Eiffel Tower to the Arc de Triomphe, the city is firmly embedded in many people's imaginations -- full of romance and possibility and beauty.
And the thing about Paris is that it actually lives up to its reputation.
It is beautiful, and romantic and glamorous.
It's also noisy and crowded and exciting and infuriating.

4. In Bruges — Waterzooi de PouletJune 25th, 2009
It's officially summer time, and if you're lucky that means vacations!
I thought I'd start a little summertime series (of an indeterminate number of episodes) based on places I've traveled.
A little travelog in food, if you will.
And today's destination is ... Bruges, Belgium! Why would you go to Belgium?
It doesn't have an Eiffel Tower or a Parthenon or a Prado (Brussels does have the capital of the EU, but I'm not sure that should rank up there as "tourist destination).
What if I told you tha...
