Food is Universal

As the American author James Beard said, "Food is our common ground, a universal experience."  This blog is a way for people to experience food from a different culture through pictures, recipes, stories, and dialog.  There will be trials and errors, successes and failures, but above all there will always be the enjoyment and satisfaction of completing a dish and sharing it with others.  Over the years Diego and I have always kept each other informed on the happenings in our lives, our families and our jobs, despite living on different continents.  What we love to talk about most however, is our endless passion for food and the art of cooking.  In nearly every conversation we have, we talk about food.  What did you eat today?  What did you make for lunch? Who makes that dish best? What is it similar to?  What ingredients did you use?  And ultimately it ends in sending each other pictures of the deliciousness we've been describing.  Here's to you, D.  Thank you for always being there and for agreeing to be my partner in culinary crime!
