Kitchen Intuition: Travel food

I’ve been traveling this past week, so instead of spending time in my kitchen, I’ve been thinking about the strategies for eating well when staying in hotels while also finding inspiration to take home with me. This has not been a road trip (I’ll likely be writing about that later this summer when I do some driving up and down the East Coast), but rather a visit to a couple of unfamiliar countries (Hungary and the Czech Republic), so my mind has been especially focused on foreign cookery. Here are some guidelines I’ve been following.

Hello! I'm Alice, which is my real name (most of the other names here have been changed, though, to protect the innocent). I live in an circa-100-year-old house in downtown Chattanooga, TN with my first husband, G-Dog (who is from New Canaan, CT) and a (possibly autistic) cat named Greta. Our daughter, Emmie, lives nearby, so she pops by regularly to amuse us and/or stir the pot.

I originally hale from Batavia, NY, a quiet little town in rural western New York. G-Dog and I met while attending college in Carlisle, PA, and then moved on to Chapel Hill, NC together before finally settling in Tennessee. Other places we've lived in long enough to have a mailing address include London and San Francisco.

This blog is about a lot of things -- the places I visit, food I cook, people I meet, photos I take, things I read -- with a bit of politics thrown into the mix. I'm a slow food-loving locavore; I enjoy running, biking and hiking; make my own soap, moisturizers and household cleansers; and enjoy sewing, crocheting and playing with textiles).
