4 days before departure

Hello Readers,

I'm currently unemployed, however I will have a part time teaching opportunity beginning in mid-November.  I was in a slump; I've been applying to tons of full time and part time jobs, but I haven't heard from them so I figured "why not take a vacation?" ( you must think I'm crazy taking a vacation in the midst of this economic recession )...

I feel like I'm in a bubble; I needed to get out and gain new perspective that'll help me to persevere in the upcoming months and their challenges.  In the past, my trips to the Philippines have renewed me, and I'm hoping that the 6 weeks spent here will give me a fresh outlook and maybe new solutions to my unemployment problems.

I'll be blogging about:
-Cooking foods specific to places I visited (share recipes made easy)
-Eating foods (new and childhood favorites)
-Events I participated in and their concomittant food source
-Food: memories and its pertinent cultural tid bit

Basically everything I do while in the Philippines ( PI ) in 6 weeks with a food twist.  I hope you enjoy reading it, and feel free to comment and share your insights.  I also hope this will encourage others to explore and eat Filipino cuisine for themselves.  Bon Appetit! Kain na!
