Outtakes: Travel, eat, repeat

Eat me. I swear that's what this piranha said.

Cooking class in Thailand. This was an awesome way to learn about how to make classic Thai dishes in the intimate setting of someone's home. The biggest takeaway for me: Thai curries are a lot of work. I'm happy to buy the good stuff in a jar.

In Laos, leftover rice is made into patties and dried in the sun to make these little rice crisps. Think of them as a way tastier version of those cardboard things your mom used to pack in your "healthy" lunch.

Street-side kebabs on any of the Thai islands were always delissssh. Just watch out for those hungry (and adorable) street dogs.

The floating market in Thailand is kind of a tourist trap. However, it's still pretty cool to see. And there's some delicious stuff being served up boat side.

I did it. I tried durian in Singapore. I don't recommend it.

In India, there could never be too many chilis.

This mural in Sydney's Bondi beach inspired us to buy many, many chocolate ice cream cones from the nearest vendor. Well played, ice cream man.

Best roadside lobster rolls in New Zealand.

Part of the package with this Bolivian Amazon excursion was fishing for piranhas, which we later fried up and ate.

In India, our friend Myles didn't think these pooris could get any bigger. And then they did.

My husband and I love travel. Like, a lot. I actually think the first sparks that flew between us happened when we were chatting about our mutual love of wandering.

We have ventured around Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand, India, Nepal, parts of Europe and a good chunk of South America. Of course, trying the food in each new place was always top priority on our agenda.

Through our travels, we learned a lot about when it was okay to push our boundaries and when it might be smart not to (like when eating undercooked beef from an open-air market in Thailand).

Most of the things we tried were amazing. Some just okay. Others downright nasty. Here are a few outtakes from our travels to kick off this new series on the blog.
