Yes, There's a Bit of Food Thrown in For Good Measure

Followers of this blog know that my little place in cyberspace is principally about food. You see, I have an undying affection, dare I say a love affair, with cuisine. And why shouldn't I? Like air and water, food is a life sustaining force. Without it, we would perish. So for the things in life that are necessities, I reasoned that I may as well go all out and love 'em with a fervent gusto. Hence, this passionate affliction of sorts that I am all too happy to call my burden.

However, although it involves food in a roundabout way, this post is not primarily about food, per se, but rather it serves as a secondary or even tertiary subject matter. This is one of those times in life when I get to go "toot toot." And in case you haven't the slightest idea what that was, that was me tooting my own horn. I do this without compunction, shame or conceit. It is a toot of modest pride.

TOOT: My second book, From City to Safari: One Woman's Exploration of Johannesburg, South Africa, has just been released.

From City to Safari... tells the tale of nine days of adventure of a woman unleashed—namely me—upon an unsuspecting South African city during the World Cup finals, which also happened to coincide with my forty-seventh birthday. In that short time, I experienced a transformation of mind, body and soul. From the humble and welcoming people of Soweto to the game parks and reserves teeming with wild animals to deliciously decadent local and international cuisine, Johannesburg is a city that is often misunderstood yet it is a gem waiting to be fully appreciated.

Johannesburg’s past spoke to my humanity, its present articulated a society on the move, and the hope for the future should speak to the hearts of many.
