I've just had the most wonderful break, as we were able to steal away to the cozy coastal suburb of Jan Juc for a week. It's amazing how quickly you're able to relax and unwind when you deliberately leave your peripheral gadgets behind, so much so that I even managed to set fire to the panettone toast last Sunday.


After a week of basking in the glorious sun and frolicking in the cool blue sea we slowly began to lose all sense of time and managed to reconnect once again as a family. Hence, I have since returned from our brief sojourn refreshed and inspired and bursting with enthusiasm and purpose.

I'm quite inspired about 2010, as I'll be working on some exciting personal and collaborative projects. I also look forward to the new decade with great anticipation, as I plan to pour my heart into and focus my attention toward some long forgotten plans that have been recently unearthed.

Most of all I look forward to continuing the journey with you all as we continue to share our collective stories about food, family, life and travel.
