As I sit down at work this fine Monday, I realize that I have somehow had this blog for over a year and never written a thing. It was one of those spur of the moment ideas when I returned home from a wonderful trip to Thailand last spring. That trip really made me realize how much of the world I have yet to experience and along with that all the tasty treats that await me. I actually made a pact with myself to take 2 weeks off every year to leave the U.S. and totally immerse myself in something new. This year my journey will lead me to Paris, Munich for Oktoberfest, Amsterdam and possibly London. I am extremely excited to see what new things await me.
In the meantime, I have been trying all sorts of new foods recently which also sparked me to start writing in this blog. Lucky for me, living in New York, I have access to all sorts of interesting food choices. For instance, my Sunday breakfast/lunch included the following:
- Home made banana pancakes made by yours truly
- Eggs with peppers, red onion and spicy sauce
- French baguette with slices of cured pork
- Mussels in a spicy vinegar sauce
- Escargot with garlic butter and pesto
Now, this may sound like a lot, but we had bits and pieces of everything. I guess this is the type of meal that results in a small town girl from Illinois dating an Eastern European...but I wouldn't have it any other way. And if you are looking for these types of tasty foods, check out the market we got our treats from on the upper east side in Manhattan:

Anyone else into interesting food choices? What is your favorite Manhattan market?
