Merry Christmas and Bon Voyage!


Friends, Fans & Foodophiles,

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you all! During this time of joy and reflection, I hope you find yourselves surrounded by loved ones and the spirit of giving.

As of 8pm PST tonight, I will be embarking on a journey across the world to visit Australia, home of hit crocodile based caricatures, famous Hollywood actors, and the "barbie". Along with my two travel companions, and my family abroad, we will explore the culture, social scene and FOOD of the Land Down Under.

I hope you all have a blessed and safe holiday season. Here's to new beginnings in 2010!

Regards,
The UE
