The Folsom Farmers Market
If you’ve been following long enough, you’ll know it’s very likely to find me in a local market sampling any and every thing that’s offered. I love food. This round of staying in California placed me living a short distance from the local farmers market. For the first time I was a tourist in my […]
Hanoi – A day in the streets & the market by night!

Coming back with a confession…
So I had a baby…. like 15 months ago. (CONFESSION: she’s over 2 now to give you an idea of how long it’s taken me to finally publish this post). This article may not relate to all of you, but for some reason, I thought to write about this topic in hopes that someone out […]
