For a few months we are all stuck in our houses, bored and not doing any of our usual activities due to COVID-19 :(. But that means a lot more time to cook and eat. I am going to write about my favorites that my family and I have cooked. Who doesn’t like a 3 […]
The following post was written by Libbey as part of her Kindergarten writing curriculum (spelling was corrected by her teacher): Yesterday I visited the Maasai. The Maasais killed a goat. It was cool. The Maasais sleep on cow skin. It was really dark in their room. They shell beans by whacking a stick on the […]
Morocco has the most different cuisine from American so far on this trip. My dad was telling me how sick I was going to get from the food and I believed him, but in the end none of us got sick, which was relieving to me. Most importantly the food was really good A restaurant […]
I left you with a cliffhanger at the end of my Hallowe’en/All Saints/Castañada post, in which I wondered how I was going to acquire a turkey for Thanksgiving here in Marrakech.

I am excited to explore the three major cuisines of Switzerland: German, Italian, and French. They speak those three languages in Switzerland because they are […]
What can I say about New York City that hasn’t already been said? I love this place. It has that “everything” quality I so admire. In spite of the fact that we were staying in Crown Heights, spending at least two hours a day on the subway, and experiencing weather of 90+ degrees and 90+ […]
Suffice it to say that things are pretty busy for us. In an ideal world, I would have carefully researched every city we will be visiting to find out which is the top-rated boutique ice cream parlor, the most authentic farm tour, the best museum for local art, etc, etc. In the real world, I […]
Canadian Foods (CARL FAMILY RATING SYSTEM SIX CHICKENS 1-6 CHICKENS) My good friend from school, Oliver Reid gifted me some Canadian money to spend on the foods and delights you can only find in Canada.
