A love of food, voyages and the written word

"This waybread of the Elves had a potency that increased as travellers relied on it alone and did not mingle it with other foods. It fed the will, and it gave strength to endure, and to master sinew and limb beyond the measure of mortal kind."
- J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King
I hope that these words will be a kind of waybread for those who read them. My travels, the people I meet and the food I eat, both nearby and far away, are infinitely curious to me. Perhaps a few others might find them nourishing, enriching and edifying.

Join me in living the dream.
