A New Orleans Food Experience
Having never left my small city life in Portland Oregon, due to being in a large family without the money for big trips with all the kids, meant that I had no idea what to expect when arriving in beautiful old N.O.L.A. However, I had heard so many things about the city throughout my life that I knew I wanted a taste of New Orleans for myself.

Rochester, NY food!
A few years ago, I left my home town Rochester, NY to a town in the mountains of Oregon. Culture shock for sure. The scenery, the weather, their form of English dialect, their relaxed way of life, dogs were in every establishment, the foliage, even the smell of the air was different.

A Cup of Tea
"Care for a cup of tea?" I asked. "Sure," my dad replied. I poured my dad a cup and one for myself. The day was wet and cold, the perfect sort of day for a cup of tea. I took a sip and added more sugar. I paused for a second, experiencing the moment. I was transported back to the trip I had taken to England.

The Diamond in the Rough
Today (Wednesday) was payday for me and I wanted to celebrate and splurge because I made it through another month without having to pawn anything. That's a joke, but if you live check to check like I do, then you know that a little splurge can surely do wonders for cheering up the spirit. I asked my husband if we could do a "memory lane" stroll through my favorite town in Pinellas County: Gulfport. He agreed and we chatted as I gave praise to all the beautiful houses there as we drove up main street. I saw some new buildings and businesses, remembered the places I stayed when I was getting to know the town, and then had him drive off the beaten path to see if the old "greasy spoon" was where I used to dine with my mom. It is, but it's no longer a greasy spoon. It has been updated and given a face lift. The outside has fresh paint and stylish tables, the inside is cleaner and has a new look, and it is now called "Comfort Cafe" with the little French chef logo. It's absolutely charming and we had a lovely lunch there.

Doughnuts Around the World
Wouldn't it be wonderful traveling from country to country waking up every morning with some hot coffee and a fresh and new doughnut? It would be difficult to do but you can read about the kinds of doughnuts that are made in various countries and then dream about this delicious, sugary treat.

Cafes In Cork
Cork City is the second-largest city in Ireland, with the capital of Dublin being the largest. Cork, despite this, is referred to by Corkonians as the “Real Capital” and is known as the “Rebel”. Cork has always been a seaport of considerable significance. It originated on an island in the swampy estuary of the Lee River (the name Corcaigh means marsh) and eventually climbed up both sides of the steep banks. The river flows through Cork City today in two key channels, so you are constantly crossing bridges and hence the coat of arms of Cork City bears the motto ‘A Safe Harbour for Ships’. Some of the main streets were constructed over channels where, a century ago, ships nuzzled their anchor chains. One can see wide gateways at street level along the South Mall, under steps leading to a higher main entrance. Walking is the perfect way to see the city of Cork and taste the flavour of its life. In this blog, some distinct coffee shops and some independent cafes in Cork have been mentioned.

The Best Cafes In Dublin
Cafes – One of the most underrated spaces for relaxation and serenity. You may think that cafes are no big deal, but we assure you that amazing things happen in cafes everyday. Take for instance, The Elephant House Cafe in Edinburgh. This tiny, unassuming cafe is widely regarded as the place JK Rowling wrote the first of her seven Harry Potter novels. Now if that’s not magical (no pun intended), we don’t know what is! The Irish city of Dublin may be famous for its beer but it’s fast becoming known for the quality of another dark liquid – Coffee! Irish coffee, to be exact. The coffee culture in Dublin is growing, thanks to a whole new generation of passionate roasters and baristas. One does not have to go too far to sip on some amazing coffee as there are cafes in both the city centre and surrounding neighbourhoods. Let’s take a look at some of the best cafes in Dublin –

Trip(s) to Italy (Travel from Home #2)
It all started with some pasta I wanted to try. So my next travel from home destination was Italy. I asked my BookCrossing group for recommendations and got so many! I ended up choosing two books from my To Be Read mountain. The first book has been on my TBR shelf for about twelve years now (it was on my friend’s Italy list in Goodreads) and the second is an audiobook I also got through BookCrossing and hadn’t even realized was set in Italy.

Home of the Rat-Trap
When I think of hometowns my mind always goes to the types of food that you can get there. Now, maybe I just have an unhealthy relationship with food...okay I probably do...but I'm pretty sure most will agree that when we think of a town that just gives us that hometown feeling, it's because it has some epic food!
