In the last 48 hours, I have held the Stanley Cup, watched a Cubs/A's game from a skybox with a couple Blackhawk players, gained platinum status on another airline with a single flight, basked in 30 hours of non-stop sunlight, hauled 160 lbs of luggage at rush hour through the world's largest and second largest train stations, and enjoyed a fine meal of raw horse meat — all before taking a break to sleep. Do I know how to start a trip, or what?

I have discovered my new favorite blog, Gas•tron•o•my. It's an awesome food blog that searches out the worlds best eats and some equally amazing recipes. The photo above is from a trip the couple took to Chef Dan Barber's Blue Hill at Stone Barns. Check out the blog and get ready to be hungrier then you have ever been.
