My not so little man in Provincials with his Club Team. So fun!!! Is it weird that his 4 inch height and 7 inch higher reach advantage is something I wish I had at his age. Alas, he’s the dream striker that this Setter dreamed about!

Met this lovely Korean woman where both her and her husband run this Korean Buddhist funded school and hospital in Bodh Gaya, India. They serve over 1,000 children from kindergarten to high school. They were kind enough to give us a tour and tea. We just walked in and the hospitality was lovely!

Dosa Time! First morning in Delhi and off to a delicious start! A Masala Dosa to get the day started!

A local favourite here on Jeju Island: Abalone Juk or a Korean version of Congee. It’s a colder day here so it certainly warmed the body after a long day of exploring this beautiful island, the Hawaii of Korea.

This was a Korean cultural immersion trip for language school, museums, galleries and visiting family. One thing I did want to do is experience Temple Food and I was fortunate to visit the Central Temple for the Jogye Order. Surrounded by mountains with babbling brooks and creeks. More in the story!

Super Crazy popular street food in Korea. Eomuk (어묵) or Fish Cake on a stick. Don’t know it till you try it and I prefer mine 🌶️

Nothing like Sports to bring people together. Shared an Uber with this Moroccan fan to the stadium.

Country #56: Egypt

How did it take so long to get here?!?!

So many mysteries, and unanswered questions about this place. Had a private tour of all the key stops. It was pretty cool and I would love to drive in this city one day. It’s absolute chaos!!!

Now off to country #57. Stay tuned as it’s going to be a doooooosy! Whoot!

Ok… a Pizza Vending Machine?!?! In the middle of nowhere and I find this unique find. Yes, I will report how it is.

Well… this should be a dangerous way to end my time in Wisconsin. Gonna be a hot ride back home.

They just couldn’t get it right when they sold this in Toronto. Biscuits are just better in the US of A.

Excited to eat through my very 1st American County Fair. In Wisconsin to boot! Follow the story and let’s see how fast I can have a heart attack. Whoot!

A bit of Brazil with a hint of Argentina…
Picanha with chimichuri. I think you’d be proud!

🇺🇦I was born in Winnipeg back in the 70s and many of my neighbours and childhood friends were Ukrainian. My mom learned how to make varenyky, aka pierogis (pick your spelling) and I’ve had many friends of Ukrainian decent. My heart is with Ukraine.

Seafood by the seashore. Forgive me my friends back home. I hear it’s pretty white 😜

17/02/2022

Masas de Cerdo Frita: fried pork dough. Wherever the Spanish went, pork always followed and Cuba certainly adopted this passion.

16/02/2022

Getting some Vitamin Sea with a side order of a Cuban Sandwich. Well, this is starting off well.

My boy made Steamed Bao Pork Belly all from scratch. Whoot! I’m so glad he loves to cook too!

05/12/2021

Panko-Crusted Brioche French Toast. The boy approves of this Daddy-Inspired yumminess! Turned out amazing and will definitely be kept in the arsenal of Brunch options moving forward.
