The Global Kitchen We visited a floating village of about 35 houses yesterday in the breathtakingly beautiful Halong Bay. I was hoping to take some cooking video, but our interaction was restricted to just the people who 'deal' with the tourists. I can certainly understand they don't want a bunch of tourists 'gawking' at their every mov...e, but am still a little disappointed. I'll post some photos of it later today.
Jacke Hi Wendy. I didn't forget about you. Hope you're enjoying your pilgrimage! Happy New Year!!
The Global Kitchen Just thought we would let you know we will be out of touch for 4 days. Once we reach HoiAn we will post an update, and more photos. In the meantime we are hoping to visit a floating village in Halong Bay. I am not sure if I will be able to film there, but I hope so :-)
The Global Kitchen It took me forever, and I can't figure out how to edit the photos (the verticals are cut off) but I did post some snapshots of street scenes in Hanoi on the website (theglobalkitchen.org). I'll work on posting more later. . .
The Global Kitchen I know some of you are anxious to see photos, but I'm not going to be able to post them here on facebook. For some reason (which is driving me crazy) I can't access FB on my netbook via wifi. (It can't find the website.) I can only post on the hotel's computer or on the itouch - and I can't upload photos to either o...f those. So, I'm going to set up a page on the website and post some there. Stay tuned. . .
Krishna Sharma Happy New Year to you to Wendy and all the The Global Kitchen fans.
Karen Bowery Glad to see you are there. Happy New Year!
The Global Kitchen Happy New Year everyone! It just turned 2010 here (not that the Vietnamese celebrate the western new year). The city was hopping though - shops and restaurants were open late and everyone was out and about. Oh, and there were lots of balloon venders for some reason. It was fun and festive in a different way. . . hope you enjoy your New Year too!
The Global Kitchen See what we had for dinner our first night in Hanoi on my blog.
The Global Kitchen I woke up at 3:00am this morning, and I can't go back to sleep. My body thinks it's lunch time but the only snacks provided by the hotel are; Seaweed flavored potato chips, jackfruit chips, roasted peanuts with coconut juice and Tiger Beer.
The Global Kitchen Greetings from Hanoi! 24 hours in transit and 3 planes later, we're here! Dealing with a bit of jetlag however (+16 hours). Hanoi traffic is crazy! Streets full of scooters and cars with no lanes, and no one paying attention to the signals. To cross the street you step off the curb, keep a steady pace, and hope fo...r the best - everyone goes around you if you're lucky!
The Global Kitchen Wow - I can't believe it, but we leave in the morning! All the 'critical' stuff is done, some the 'important' list too, and the rest is falling into the 'forget about it' list. (Although I guess I better start packing :-) Be sure and check out the website for our blogs and to follow along on our adventures. Hanoi here we come!

The Global Kitchen SET YOUR DVR - If you missed the first Oprah show with Nicholas Kristof that aired October 1st, you have a chance to see it tomorrow. It's a great show, and definitely worth recording! You can see Portlander Lisa Shannon in a powerful piece where she visits the Congo, as well as Tererai Trent who is a true inspiration!
Wally Janzen WEndy, how are things going for you
The Global Kitchen "It really boils down to this: that all life is interrelated. We are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied into a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. . ." see our new blog for other excepts from A Christmas Sermon for Peace by Martin Luther King.

Below are a few excerpts from “A Christmas Sermon for Peace” that Martin Luther King gave on Christmas Eve 1967. I find his words as relevant today – 42 years later as the day he delivered them. As we ...
