It’s only natural that we would consort the best places to eat in Pittsburgh with the best place to sleep, because what goes hand-in-hand if not feasting and snoozing?  I’m no stranger to hotels given my perpetual on-the-roadness, which oftentimes results in one nice hotel blending into the next.  Just when I think I’m impervious to … Continue Reading

Now seems like as good a time as any to detail our recent U.S. road trip.  The United States is an underrated travel destination, and after months of international country-hopping, we were itching to head home for some domestic explorations.  For two months, we drove a big, bad, and very sexy Buick across many a … Continue Reading

Last Morocco post, we promised tales of sass and swindle.  The tail-end of that entry left us exploring Fes, after which we (and our entire trip) both literally and figuratively went south. Are you picking up what I’m putting down? Lemme be more clear: It was all Luis’ fault.  It may appear as though I’m … Continue Reading

As frostier temps draw near, I’ve been on the prowl for some new belly-warming recipes.  I think I’ve found just the dish to curb the clam chowder and chili overdose from which I annually suffer during my winter hibernation.  I hope you’ll share my appreciation for it! This is our second month experimenting with A … Continue Reading

Happy Halloween, readers!  I’m sure you’ll encounter no shortage of sweets today, but we’re about to one-up the candy corn coma you’ll likely fall into later on.  While you’re planning what to give out to all the little ghouls and goblins in your ‘hood, we’re planning the Thai treats we’ll be giving out to YOU!  Remember our new collaboration with A Taste … Continue Reading

When I was a little girl, I read about a Moroccan town enshrouded in hues of blue.  Since blue was my favorite color at the time, I fervently scribbled the town on my bucket list.  I finally made my way to Morocco a few months back, and since my travel criteria hasn’t matured over the years, seeing that blue-rinsed town remained top … Continue Reading

Yesterday, we introduced our new partnership with A Taste of Thai.  As promised in that post, we’re showcasing our first few recipes today!  I figure that Pad Thai is a good springboard, as it was a theme throughout our last entry, and it’s a dish with which most people are familiar.  I was interested to gauge A … Continue Reading

Have you ever made Thai food from scratch?  If your answer to that question is, “Yeah, it’s super simple,” I’m afraid we can’t be friends, as you may cause my healthy self-esteem to irrevocably plummet into a dark, lonely abyss.  On planet Earth (where I currently reside), Thai cooking is a complex art that takes … Continue Reading

Welcome back for Part 2 of two posts we’re devoting to our absolute favorite dining experiences in Cape Town.  If you travel often, you know that it’s pretty common for memories of places seen, meals eaten, and adventures had to blend together or fade away with time.  Heck, even if you aren’t big on traveling, … Continue Reading

Those of you familiar with me and my daffy ways know that I have a termination problem.  If a destination even remotely piques my interest, I cling to it until all of my curiosities are sated.  This usually comes in the form of my “needing” to try every restaurant on my wish list, which seldom … Continue Reading
