I'm Leaving...On a Jet Plane...

I have so many posts that I want to write, and apologize for not getting them up in a timely fashion. However, the past week has been a bit frantic as I have been finishing work for the magazine and getting myself packed and ready...because...I am off to England for a month!

Ben and I will be meeting in London and then traveling to Suffolk (where we will be for Christmas), Norwich, Cambridge, Lancaster, Chester, York, Durham, Leeds, and then back to London.

So this post is to say several things:

First, I don't know how much internet access I will have during my travels. Ideally, I would like to post about the food I am eating, seeing, cooking, smelling, etc. while I traipse around the United Kingdom, but the posts may have to wait until I get back. However, if I manage to get to an internet café, I will surely put up a post.

Second, is to say that although I do not have a very cerebral post here for you today, I did write a guest blog post for Ben's blog on Christmas food. He is doing a 12 Days of Christmas special series on his blog that is really cool. And you can also read about his travels in Russia, including the merits (and maybe misfortunes) of Russian beer.

So with that, I leave you with a picture of my favorite Christmas food, my annual Christmas cake (read about the cake on Ben's blog and my previous post on fruitcake). And I hope that I will post again sooner rather than later...
