An Afternoon in Middleburg, VA and The Red Fox Inn

June 1, 2011 Adventure

A few weeks ago, my fiancé and I took an afternoon drive down to Middleburg, VA.  Middleburg is a friendly, quaint tourist town with a little something for everyone. Good eats, beautiful scenery, shops brimming with knick knacks, horse country, and oodles of southern charm. Our main objective was to dine at the Red Fox [...]

Farm Living

May 1, 2011 Adventure

My fiancé and I have been enjoying yet another peaceful weekend at the family farm. This time hasn’t been the most restful as we’ve had a lot of wedding details to go over, but it has been a good time nonetheless. Somehow, no matter how busy we get, we manage to find time to walk [...]

Weekend At The Farm

February 20, 2011 Adventure

I’ve blogged occasionally about spending time at my fiancé’s family farm in North Carolina. It’s a place we go often, a quiet weekend respite from the big city bustle.  I’ve shared a few pictures below. The chix.  Tiger Buddy The sheep. Baby lambs. Baaah. The grounds.       My sweetie, hiking in a collared shirt. He’s [...]

KISF is back!

November 19, 2010 Adventure

It’s depressing to think about, but unfortunately, KISF is no longer on vacation, living it up. The trip across the pond was a wonderful adventure that I won’t soon forget. Which of course is why I’m super sad to be back. Then again, it’s nice to be home. Let’s talk about the food. London was [...]

Austin Food Highlights

October 2, 2010 Adventure

I’ve been debating posting these pictures for awhile now. They didn’t turn out as nicely as I had hoped and I hate to make you suffer through a string of shoddy photos (I know I hate looking at bad photography on other blogs), but the food in Austin is too amazing to go unmentioned and, [...]

Road Food Veggie Style

August 26, 2010 Adventure

Last weekend, my boyfriend and I drove down to the family farm. I love a good road trip, but I hate the food options. Every exit sign is a veritable cornucopia of fast food chain restaurants- Wendy’s, McDonald’s, Arby’s, Chick fil A, etc. Don’t even get me started on the so-called “food” products found in [...]

Chinese Cafeteria Food

July 26, 2010 Adventure

A few days ago, a friend took me on a tour of Beijing’s top school Peking University. Along the way, we stopped for lunch at the cafeteria. It was quite a different scene from what you’d expect to find at a typical American universtiy. Instead of counters offering fast food-burgers, tacos, and pizza- students were [...]

Ice Cream

July 25, 2010 Adventure

It’s not summer without ice cream and while in China I ate more than my fair share. The month of July was oppressively hot and I spent a good amount of time outdoors doing touristy activities like the Great Wall, Summer Palace, and the Forbidden City. Before setting off for each activity, I would slap [...]

SALT

July 23, 2010 Adventure

For one of our last meals in China, a group of us decided to meet for a western-style lunch at upscale restaurant SALT. I had heard that the female chef recently won best chef in Beijing, as well as rave reviews about the food, so I was eager to try it out and greatful for [...]
