Chinatown Food Crawl

[6 September, 2022]

A fun afternoon with a couple of my nephews exploring Manila’s Chinatown, the world’s oldest Chinatown, and sampling several of its many culinary delights.

Manila!

[1 September, 2022]

Touchdown Philippines! A misty, steamy, and rainy Manila greeted me upon arrival at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA). And so begins a month-long visit to the motherland!

Nature Moment

Today’s moment of zen brought to you by the lovely landscaping at the Visitor’s Center at Raystown Lake, Hesston, PA (May 25th, 2022).

Cooking Italian

Putting the Italian cooking classes I took in Florence to the test at home.

LA Trip

Went to LA this past weekend to attend baby Kamille’s baptism and got to see old friends and indulge in a lot of off-diet grub as well.
