Garlicky Green Beans with Nuts & Raisins
One of the absolutely best parts of traveling, is newfound food! There is always something novel to try—especially when you travel outside of your country of origin. I’ve eaten green beans all my life, but growing up in the USA, it was always in just two boring ways: 1) Boiled with bacon, to flavor them; or 2) Slathered with mushroom soup, cheese, and dried onions in a green been casserole. It was only after I first moved to Australia (as an expatriate for a while), that during supper at the home of some hospitable mates (friends), they excited my taste buds with green beans as I had never before experienced them! Thus, I call this dish: “Australian Green Beans” (even though I suspect it probably originated somewhere in Africa). Who knew green beans could be so exciting? It’s an easy dish to make, too.

What is Fika? A simple guide to this Swedish coffee ritual
The best solutions will be found through loving thoughts and perhaps a good cup of coffee. - Jen Vondenbrink Sometimes even the finest translators come up against words that defy translation. While we try our best, some translations can never quite match the significance and sentiment captured by a foreign culture. For instance, Google translate will tell you quite succinctly that fika is the Swedish translation of ‘have coffee’, but in truth this little four-letter word describes a ritual, an experience, an attitude and a state-of-mind that above all cherishes human connection.

One-Bowl Rhubarb Crisp
Growing up in the rural Midwest, my family grew a lot of vegetables. Our garden, neat rows that easily spanned a quarter-acre, grew everything from tomatoes and potatoes to trellised grapes and row upon row of the sweetest corn imaginable. It was a lot of work, and as a kid, I’m not sure I appreciated many of the things my mother lovingly grew (and we begrudgingly weeded and harvested!).

"Crazy" Not To Love.
Living in Bremerton, WA you get at least six months of a rainy grey filter on your life. In spring, when the sun finally breaks through the clouds to warm your skin it is magical. All you want to do is spend time outside. The streets, and trails, are suddenly littered with people ready to take on the PNW outdoor lifestyle. People walking, riding their bikes, hanging out with their furry pals, and people eating. There are, admittedly, tons of “mom and pop” local places around town to grab a bite while you are out. Although, none like Crazy Eric’s hamburgers.

8 Tricks Photographers Use to Make Foods and Drinks Look Better
It is the job of food photographers to make their photos look good. They can make their pictures look perfect by using some tricks of their trade. It is completely legal to do so because they are advertising the food with the picture and not the meal itself.
