ISLAND is a year old today!! 🏝️

To celebrate here’s a recent photo of the author taken by his kid on an old East German Praktica.

If you’ve read ISLAND, thanks for reading! (If not, there’s still time!)

Nice. Needless to say, run from the crowds & go to where the locals eat (& drink)

Last night in Italy. I’m sad, but I also know that one more day of consuming twelve plates of antipasti and a bottle of negroamaro before the primi piatti arrive and I will surely die

I don’t remember the nutty (?) carapace - just a sculpted ball of cheese of mysterious age & origin 😳

Nothing offensive here, just wholesome dried coconut, mini marshmallows, tinned oranges, whipping cream (or is it mayonnaise), brownish apple pieces, maybe an old banana …
