2010 WAS A GREAT APPETITIZER FOR 2011

2010 was a great year for me personally and was accompanied by the continued growth of my blog and expanding my food experiences. I visited new places, ate new things and met many new smiling faces. I started 2010 halfway around the world in Dubai literally on top of the world at Burj Dubai and never looked down.

I look to 2011 with the same optimism I did on January 1, 2010 and expect more good things. As I did on the day I started this blog I invite you to join me on my journey through the world of food and good times. Make it your resolution to surround yourself with good food, good drink and good people and the rest will fall into place. I also wanted to thank you for visiting this site and helping in its growth.
