Using Food to Celebrate Words, and Words to Celebrate Food

Having just written the 100,000th word in my "Live from Mongolia!" book (nearly complete minus daunting task of editing), I decided to celebrate by taking a day 'off' to attend New York's annual summer Fancy Food Fest, held at the Javits Center. Not quite a day off at all, I was taking copious notes for an article I'd pen for International Life, where I'm NY Correspondent. If you are someone who regularly eats, and if you tend to enjoy the process even a little bit, I'd be honored if you took a look at my latest work:

Also, I've had a few questions about this blog. If you're looking for highlights from the 2006 or 2009 Mongolia trip, scroll down until you see a list of dates on the right-hand side of your screen. Click on the 2006 dates for blogs about leaving banking to work in journalism; click on the Feb/Mar 2009 dates for blogs about Mongolian New Year and video of sled-riding with the nomad. -Patricia
