The Rhodes Well Traveled

It’s no secret that a well traveled road bears a dichotomy of compelling stories. It is a traveler’s narrative that transports tales ranging from the daily and often hurried commute of locals to the careless tempo of retirees gathering for a ritual of morning coffee or an afternoon beer. It carries people from far-away lands who are passing through on a journey of adventure, enlightenment, or…

The 7 Best Happy Hours on Maui

Every hour is happy hour on Maui, but some are unquestionably better than others. From Kihei to Kahana, there are plenty of restaurants offering high-priced PuPus and piña coladas, and we soon discovered that in order to find the best Happy Hours in a tourist hub like Maui, you’ve got to hit the highway – the Honoapiilani Highway, to be precise. Greg Christensen, experienced world traveler and…

A Wayfarer's Guide to Missing the Boat on Symi Island

A Wayfarer’s Guide to Missing the Boat on Symi Island

Symi Island is the type of place where time is irrelevant. The only schedule a visitor could possibly need or want here is the ferry schedule. That being said, this exquisitely beautiful isle seems a delightful place to ‘miss the boat’ – particularly if you have a mere afternoon slotted for your visit.

Symi is a small Greek island (26-square miles), and one of 12 main islands…

Saints, Goddesses and Grace - the Allure of Lindos

Saints, Goddesses and Grace – the Allure of Lindos

St. Paul’s Bay in Lindos, Greece

A curious ambiguity struck me as I pondered that the bay below me honored a Christian saint while the cliffs high above memorialized a mythological Athenian goddess. Yet the greater paradox here became the revelation of a local culture steeped in grace and pliancy – antiquity and modernity that somehow unites the two.

The ancient Greek village of Lindos is…

7 Globally-Inspired Dishes Using Rotisserie Chicken

Roast chicken – that ubiquitous mainstay of nightly meals. My issue with ubiquity, however, is that it can easily become uninspired, and that prosaic little pullet known as poultry is no exception. Yet, one of the best things in the poultry world is that one can simply stroll into their grocer, buy a steaming carton of juicy rotisserie chicken, and bring it home for dinner. In addition to adding…

Cherry Cobbler Ice Cream Sundae

I simply can’t conceive why our country’s food gods designated February 20th as National Cherry Pie Day, given that there’s probably not a fresh cherry available anywhere in the northern hemisphere on such an icy winter’s day. I clearly recall the twisted branches of a lone gnarled cherry tree blanketed in February snow on our farm in northern Iowa. Throughout the month of April, those same…

My Favorite Things-May ’16

Happy weekend my friends! Way back in 2015 I began posting weekly lists of my favorite things. Then life got in the way, things got busier than usual, and those posts (accompanied by a lot of other stuff) moved to the “back burner” of my calendar. But I’ve received several requests lately to reinstate My Favorite Things, so here goes. There’s one change, however – I’m opting for a monthly list of…

Raspberry-Lemon Pound Cake with Lemon Glaze

Let’s be clear here – I love to cook. I do NOT love to bake. (Insert sidebar: I DO, however, love to devour baked goods.) My cooking preference is for what I consider to be rather obvious reasons. “Cooking” features an elaborate collection of imaginative ingredients with curious names: scampi, curry, garam masala (WHA???!!!), artichokes, marinara, osso buco (drool). It also involves…

The Ultimate Fork & Knife Meatball Sub Sandwich!

Happy weekend, my food lovin’ friends! I realize that summer is quickly approaching, and many of us are still trying to shake those extra L-B’s we gained while warming up to good, old-fashioned comfort food on wintry nights. And although those frigid temps have thankfully transitioned into warmer spring days, I’m confident there’s still enough chill in the air to warrant sinking my teeth into an…
