Just as a reminder – this blog started as a TRAVEL blog, albeit one we only posted to every few years.\u00a0 Then we started our silly cooking project, and given that we make dinner a lot more often than we visit other continents, that kind of took over.\u00a0 But we’ve still used it for major trips, like Iceland and Japan.<\/p>\n
