Today I stopped at Print Works Bistro in Greensboro, North Carolina, for lunch. I’d eaten there previously for a wine dinner, but this visit was the first time I’ve ordered off their menu.

As a result, I’ve mastered the spinach filling, which has become my go-to spinach sauce for pasta when I don’t feel like making the crepes. The original version – in
My cupboards were a bit bare tonight, but to ward off the temptation to order a pizza, I harvested some parsley from the backyard raised bed, pulled a can of chicken broth and a can of artichoke hearts from the cupboard, and made a parsley risotto. This risotto isn’t fancy, but it’s a nice homemade

Since my flight didn’t leave Phnom Penh until 11:55 PM, I spent my last day in the city exploring more sites. The Independence Monument was near the National Institute of Education, so I saw it every day I walked to the conference from my hotel. I don’t know if any pedestrian would be brave enough
