Oo I bet those were cherry peppers (a bit sweeter and spicier than pimentos)! I discovered cherry peppers pickled on the classic SmokeShack burger and can’t get enough! Crazy that you knew Austin Tice. Thinking of him and his family as they fight for resolution.

The subtitle “doing nothing” was what made me click haha. I just came here to say that I agree with you about breakfast buffets. I was also wrong about this belief at a boutique hotel this summer in Florence. I cannot stop thinking about one cake like dense pastry pie thingy. It’s been months since that trip and I still dream about it.

I just looked up peppadew peppers, and that is 100% what they are--thanks, Mary-Belle!! Now to scour the internet to see how I can get them delivered to Egypt...

Wow, Sam, this was like 3 posts in one! Your photos are ridiculously gorgeous, and the food looks deelish, despite the fact that I heard it was 90% tuna. ;P I'm so sorry to hear about your classmate. His Facebook post was powerful. Good for him for pursuing a life with meaning.

LOL, there was definitely a ton of tuna...but lots of other options, luckily!

And yes, Austin acted according to his convictions, which is something to be applauded. I hope all will be well with him someday.
