Viewers Choice: The Best of 2019

I email a link to this Blog to fewer than 40 people whenever there is an update. I am amazed that this Blog has had 2,500 views in less than one year! Thank you - especially to those who continue to forward my email to friends and family.

In the fall of 2018, I was lucky enough to spend a week in Julia Child's cottage in Provence, France cooking, shopping at markets, laughing, and eating with a small group of five complete strangers from Chicago who quickly became my new, lifetime friends. Serendipity. That experience became the impetus for writing this Blog for people who like to travel, cook, and eat!
