mmmmm... I fell in love with Thailand on my honeymoon. The food was amazing!! I could eat it every day.

I was in Phuket, Thailand over Christmas and the hotel we were staying as served plain oatmeal on their breakfast bar.

I ended up dumping in a few spoonfuls of Mixed Berry Compote and a few spoonfuls of Coconut Creme. Delish!

While I was at an orphanage in Kampala, Uganda, I was invited to eat a lunch prepared by one of the house moms. The best beef stew ever, over rice, with salad, candied carrots, and homemade flatbread. So good! I'm not sure if it was the fatigue of lugging mud bricks all day or what, but it was the best meal ever. Ever.

When in Austin, TX, The Salt Lick. When in VA, Uncle Fred's in Winchester.

greatest success: triple layer chocolate cake with ganache. the baking wasn't too hard, but the transport half way across town intact was ridiculous!

the curly fries from arby's. there's nothing better I tell you. nothing.

any thing involving plantains. delicious!!!!

a bastardized version of a Carbonara. Spaghetti tossed in an egg mix with ham, garlic, onions, peas, and mushrooms. And, when the fiance isn't around, a ton of kalamata olives!

It's the sausage yeast rolls that make this brand worth buying. They are the closest thing to a Kolache that I've found mass produced and outside the state of Texas.
