The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of travel, study, summer cocktail drinking, and World Cup watching. First, there was Crete, full of delicious sheep cheeses and vegetables. Then Friuli Venezia Giulia with a day in Trieste to learn about espresso and mussel aquaculture and a few more days in the Italian alps for cow’s milk ricotta. Now, we’re in Belgium to talk chocolate and beer.
I feel as though I want to push pause on my life right now. Every day I try to drink in everything that I’m seeing and experiencing.
A year ago, sitting in my office in Philly, I never imagined that in this short year I would have already seen and learned so much.
I’m so grateful.
