This is the Something About Food? Blog, where Chef Chris Clarke discusses new podcast episodes, travel, restaurants, and more!
Wandering is my way. I often get lost, lose thing, forget things behind in the hotel (like my scarf this morning, ugh…). And yet I still get where I want to be. Not your typical tourist, I’ll walk for miles through areas that most folks would avoid, in order to find an out of the way place to eat.
Read MoreI’m in Scotland!
Read MoreTomorrow I head out to Scotland. I’ll be there for a whole month. When I returned to the US after my year round journey, I knew, in my heart of hearts, that I had to keep travelling.
Read MoreI’ve been “publishing” some fiction short stories over on Patreon under the title of Clarke Tales It. This enables me to get creative and pull stories out of my head and put them onto the page. As I’m also becoming more adept at podcasting, I then read the stories and post them as mini podcasts on the site.
Read MoreEvery year, around the same time, I come down with this awful bronchial/sinus nonsense that has me up all night coughing. It lasts for over a week and knocks me around every single time.
Read MoreWhen I was a teenager I was angry most of the time. Our family didn’t have a lot of money and there were a whole bunch of us teenagers in that house.
Read MoreI took a bunch of my change that I have been dumping into a jar, over to the store today to buy some fruit. I’ve got money, like paper money. But don’t forget, that change is money too. And I did it because I’m working on being more mindful of my purchases.
Read MoreI know how cute this picture is, of my pal Olive wearing her butterfly wings. What isn’t so cute, is that butterflies and other insects are in a drastic decline the world over.
Read MoreI’ve got a quiz for you. Won’t take more than 5 minutes. Take a moment to think about it, then go to your kitchen and pull out all the plastic things you use every single day.
Read MoreYou have to agree that one of the all-time best noises in the world is when a young child is drinking out of a cup, stops and lets out an audible “aaaaaahhhhhhh”. That my friends is pure enjoyment. This is something many of us have lost as we grow older, as the world seems to be crumbling all around us and our heads lower under the weight of it all.
Read MoreHoliday Merry Making + New Years Resolutions= More And Less
Read MoreWe are absolutely going on a break. Tis the holiday season, and while we would usually be using the break between our podcast seasons to work on the next season, we’ll also be celebrating.
Read MoreBack when I was hitting up the internet dating sites (hard!), a friend helped me set up my profile. For the question about naming one of my good qualities, she said “Showing up!”
Read MoreIt happens. For every yes I get from someone, agreeing to be a guest on the podcast, I get about 20 no’s/no reply to my request.
Read MoreTalking about mental health has become less a social minefield and more of a way to share and shine a light on what many folks go through.
Read MoreHalloween is my all-time favorite holiday. I adore Xmas, and Thanksgiving is always an opportunity to put myself into a stuffing coma (a stuffoma if you will), but Halloween is truly magical to me.
Read MoreHoly shit, I wrote a book! Can you believe it? I sure as hell can’t.
Here is a look at the mockup of the front cover.
Read MoreWe will soon be hiding the Halloween candy from ourselves and girding our loins for the coming political/holiday season. Is there anything more divisive than the holiday table?
Read MoreCalling myself a “runner” took a long time. Since I was 5 years old, I’ve played sports where running is a big part of the play. To me it wasn’t running, it was “playing”…
Read MoreLeadville is my home base for the next month as I take on one of my favorite cat-sitting gigs. The other night someone asked me “Where do you live?”. “For right now,” I told them, “right here.”
