Dinner parties galor!!
As many of you may have realized, I love food. I love cooking it, eating it, preparing it, buying it -- and above all, sharing it. I have shared a dinner table with people from India, Panama, Japan, Spain, Norway, Germany...all corners of the world! Food brings people together. It relax's them, comforts them and put rather simply - makes them happy! James Beard said that "Food is our common ground, a universal experience". How true, and how close to my heart. Preparing a meal is my way of showing love - opening my home {or sometimes hostel, or shack, or temporary house} and connecting with people. Whether it be coffee or an exquisite four course meal, I am so thankful for those that I've been able to share this passion with.
"If the divine creator has taken pains to give us delicious and exquisite things to eat, the least we can do is prepare them well and serve them with ceremony." -- Fernand Point
Ladie's Dinner in Encinitas: green pea soup, curry apple salad, grilled steak and sauteed brussel sprouts.
Galapagos Islands: Aboard wooden sailboat, Sulidae: I'd make coffee every morning for the crew and all the guests - using my old tank top. It was very tedious, but I refused for us to drink instant coffee!
Hermosa Beach, CR: Dinner party @ Noah's. Big pot of Coconut Curry.
Banos, Ecuador: Bar {from Israel} and I made dinner for the hostel. Australians, Americans, South Africans. 
Panama: A huge feast on Juan's farm...all food from the property. 
Esterillos Oeste: Wake up at 4:45am, make coffee and then deliver it to my friends in bed. Watch the sunrise.
Dominical, CR: Dad and Me, cheffing it up -- every night!
South Jersey: FRIED CLAMS!
Casa de Adam...cooking up some goodies.
"Tomatoes and oregano make it Italian; wine and tarragon make it French. Sour cream makes it Russian; lemon and cinnamon make it Greek. Soy sauce makes it Chinese; garlic makes it good." -- Alice May Brock
