Only five cuisines to go in my “52 Cuisines in 52 Weeks” blogging exercise.
Wowzers! It’s hard to believe I’m almost finished with this challenge I gave myself almost a full year ago.
I told Himself today as we drove to the next dining adventure–Polish–that I’m not sure whether to be glad or sad about that. On one hand, at times it has been quite a real push to get these blog entries done, a considerable investment of time, money and effort. On the other, it has been a blast–a great way to learn about food and different cuisines and a great way to spend time with my friends, and with Himself, of course.
This won’t be the end of it, though, when I pen–so to speak–and post cuisine #52. I’m considering continuing to post one new cuisine a month, while I’m busy blogging about other food and travel related things. And yes, I expect there to be a book to write at the end of it. After all, I’ve just conducted a year’s worth of research.
But that’s for a later blog entry. After a good–but rather heavy–Polish meal, I desperately need a nap.
You should make himself suffer for a while, and eat something boring every day. Or maybe as a sort of long-haul palate cleanser. 😛
I also joked with him about the possibility of cramming 52 cuisines into as short a period as possible–maybe 4 meals a day for 13 days?
Seriously, though, what an adventure! I'm glad you've made it all available in blog form, but it would be nice to see it on a bookstore shelf someday…
Funny you should mention that, John. I'm working on a book proposal right now. Not just a collection of the blog entries, because anyone can go to the blog and read it for free, but I want to further explore the ideas I began looking at in this series.
As for that 13-day slamfest of international dining, as much as I love what I'm doing, I think that could seriously do me in.
As for feeding Himself boring food, I'm really too fond of him to do that! (and I'm sure he feels rather like a guinea pig sometimes anyway!)
