Now You Can Keep up with my Postings!
It has been a long time since I made a blog posting on here, but I have not exactly been inactive! I have been really busy taking photographs (including completing a three month photography mentorship, which was wonderful) and writing. This has all been going on on Google+. But that’s not helpful nor communicative to those of you who like to follow me on my blog, right here.

Maggots and gourmet cheeses
We lived for a number of years in the Perigord Noir, a region of France renowned for its gastronomy. The residents pride themselves on eating pretty much everything that can be made vaguely edible, even if at times the results defy both good taste and common sense, at least from an outsider’s perspective.
