Dearest readers and followers,
You may have noticed that my activities have been limited for a while with a few posts here and there. It’s been a relatively calm year with few travels since our move to the bayou in Louisiana. And even fewer culinary expeditions since our small town of Lafayette has very little to offer in terms of restaurant options and quality dining.
That is not to say that there aren’t endless options for cajun food including the classic hearty Gumbo, Crawfish Étouffée, Fried Catfish and the likes. But unfortunately with trial and error I’ve come to learn that I am just not that into the deep fried food options of the South (minus gumbo which I can’t get enough of) and I absolutely can’t even stand the smell of crawfish let alone place one in my mouth. What a shame because I live in the crawfish capital of the world.
In other news, the Count and I are ecstatic about the imminent arrival of Baby Nomad who will be joining the nomadic clan in a few short weeks. Feelings are high and we are counting down the minutes and seconds to meet our little one. I am not sure what to expect from motherhood and how it will affect my nomadic ways, travels and culinary adventures but I am hoping that baby’s arrival will only add to our adventures and journeys. Perhaps, a more child friendly twist to the current posts including family friendly hotels, restaurants and recipes. I am still working out the details but will be documenting my journey through motherhood.
xox,
The Hungry Nomad
