What a fun read and transportation back in time! Your feeling that mayonnaise was on everything was so evocative of my semester abroad in South Africa. During my home stay there, it seemed everything was deep fried: bread, meat, cheese, vegetables, even dessert! Alas, I, too, eventually found my way to other delights like Magnum Ice Cream bars 🤤.
Thank you for this delicious read. I love how you have found your own travel traditions with your family and a charcuterie plate is always a delicious choice!
Page, opening up your email felt magical. I was just in Magdalene College in May, hearing one of my favorite professors preach. I loved this story, the warmly dressed welcomed, the tasteless sandwich, the biscuit and old text fantasy. I was there with my daughter, her first international trip, right there! So your email feels very aligned. I also love how you travel with food in mind. I don’t think a lot about food. But when something special comes my way, I know. Have you been to LMNOP in Katonah yet? I think you’d love the baker there. Also, I enjoyed Hit Man! A fun couple of hours. Glen Powell made me laugh with all his costumes and characters. It’s nice to watch something where you can tell the creators are playing, enjoying themselves. Thanks for this. Xo - Alice
Alice! I love all these intersections. I'd love to hear more about your travels. I have not been to LMNOP but putting it on my summer to-do list. Perhaps we can meet up there talk all things travel and writing. XO

I can just taste the dumplings and the Macanese/Portuguese food. Love reading your writing friend!
