Wish List Revisited: Holiday Edition

Nikon on deck, lol! But my mom really surprised me with a present I asked for for YEARS ago! AfricanAncestry is a company that traces their client's DNA to identify their maternal or paternal roots. The service gives you a generational run down and provides you with the geographical location of where your ancestors came from, in respects to the DNA of the natives in that country today. Might be a complete waste...we'll see.


Regardless of what the results are...I'm still me. All the same I hope it's something crazy...like ancient Eskimos.

Good shit.

Being Bourdain

If you've never heard of him or his show No Reservations then you are truly missing out. Who knew you could get paid to travel around the world, meet great people, and eat everything in sight?! Somehow Bourdain figured out that mixing his writing, refined palette, and love for travel would make for great television, video blog style.

From India to Ireland, Bangkok to Brazil, Anthony takes viewers on a cultural ride through countless cities, both popular and remote, highlighting great food in unexpected spots. With so many friends all over the world Bourdain always has a friend to show him the ropes on a crazy local level!

He eats an obscene amount of pork, drinks like a fish, and has the sense of humor similar to that of Harvey Pekar...and how I love it! Bourdain, you are an inspiration to chefs, travelers, jet-setters, artists, and moochers alike. Gluttony has never been so rewarding!

He even has time to take pot shots at Zimmern (no pun intended)
