How Do YOU Say Shaved Ice?
Since people first went up into the mountains and came back with snow or ice, people have been drizzling honey, fruit juice and other toppings on top to create a refreshing treat. The tradition of shaved ice probably originated in many places independently. Today, similar dishes are found throughout the world. For me, growing up in […]
Triple M: Houston-One Month Later
Houston, Texas has been our home for a month now. We relocated here for work, and will be in town for about 7 weeks. While work has taken the majority of our time, we have been able to get out occasionally to enjoy what the city has to offer. As you have probably figured out […]
Nectar of the Gods: Georgia Craft Beer
In honor of American Craft Beer Week I’ve taken a moment to share some local Georgia beers as well as a couple of other favorites. When most people think of “American” beer the names Budweiser, Miller and Coors probably come to mind, and rightfully so. These beer behemoths have a tried and true formula for selling their […]
5 Fun Fruits to Discover in Southeast Asia
After being “home” for roughly a year since our year of travel in Asia/Southeast Asia I’ve begun to really miss the ready availability of inexpensive exotic fruit.

For those of you who have visited New Zealand I think you will agreed with the title of this post. Here in the US, on many a menu you will find listed “New Zealand Lamb Chops.” While often very good, you have to remember that they at bare minimum have made a 13hr flight from […]

Triple M: The Bread Pudding that Ruined All Others
It is fitting for this to be the first post in our new series Memorable Meal Moments. It’s one of the first examples that comes to mind for both of us when we think, “Remember that time we had…” While on tour in 2007 we had a long weekend off during a couple of weeks […]
Introducing our new series : Memorable Meal Moments
Those of you who have known me since I was a child will find this series a bit ironic. I used to be one of the pickiest eaters on the planet. The list was short and bland: chicken nuggets, hot dogs, pizza and white rice were the dinner time staples. After breaking out of my […]
Philly Cheesesteak Challenge
It has been done hundreds of times by hundreds of people, but we finally took the opportunity to experience the Philly Cheesesteak battle for ourselves. We are visiting Philadelphia for work, and after taking care of some administrative duties with the City of Philadelphia we decided we deserved a treat. (An interesting aside: the Health […]
