I’m going to try a new weekly series–Foodie Friday. Every Friday I’ll post a photo and a short description about some food item I’ve eaten somewhere around the world. For the first Foodie Friday, I present you with Bunny Chow.

What to Wear in a Prague Winter Wonderland
I just returned from Prague and let me tell you–it was beyond cold. We’re talking not getting above about 26 F/-3 C during the day and about 11 F/-11 C at night. Add a bit of snow and wind to that, and it makes for a pretty miserable experience if you don’t pack and dress

Atchafalaya Basin, Louisiana
With the advent of shows like Swamp People, I think Cajun Louisiana gets a bum rap. To be fair, I’ve only seen one episode of the show, in which Cajuns were portrayed as backwoods hillbillies with funny accents and an affinity for disgusting swamp creature delicacies.
