When I was a kid, my dad would give me quasi-motivational speeches about how to be a good student.  That all sounds normal.  But, my dad threatened me into studying by telling me that if I did not get good grades, then he would just buy me a sandwich shop and I could live out my days slaving over a panini press.  Only with hindsight can I say that  I was a fool for not taking him up on his offer.  I’m pretty sure the offer has lapsed by now.

Ultimately, this blog is about food, travel, and the adventures, thoughts, and musings stemming from both.  Aside from that, it is a nod to the fact that life goes on after cancer as well as a dedication to those who are affected by this terrible disease.  I am a young cancer survivor with a goal of eating my way through every type cuisine on the planet.  So, while I intend to focus on healthy foods, there will be an occasional slip over to the dark side.  By the dark side, I mean, of course, dessert.
