OK, you're vaccinated, you're careful about what to eat and drink and
you are doing your best to prevent insect bites. What else should you
look out for?
Road traffic accidents
These are the leading cause of death in young overseas travellers,
particularly when riding mopeds. Travellers should exercise particular
caution when cycling or riding mopeds (always wear helmets), with safety
conditions (eg seat belts) in cars, buses, trucks etc. Road accidents
are 40 times more likely to happen in developing countries.

Potato Fritters
Subrich di Patate ~ This is a recipe for potato croquettes,
Italian style, that can be used on an antipasto platter, or as a tasty
side dish with the main course. This is a great recipe for leftover
potatoes, but it is so delicious you won’t mind cooking potatoes
specifically to make these fritters. I serve this potato dish with
everything from sausages to roasted chicken.

Roasted Potatoes, Zucchini, Onions & Pancetta
I am always looking for new, unique vegetable side dishes to go with
roasted or grilled meats. When meat is on my menu, I often include oven
roasted potatoes of some sort, then add another side such as sautéed
leafy greens. When you stick to the same things time and time again,
although delicious, it can get a tad boring. This easy vegetable side
includes potatoes, zucchini, onions, garlic, and pancetta which are
seasoned with fresh thyme...

Chef Gilligan's country potato and cabbage soup
After a hectic Christmas and New Year where I
think the whole of New York was at the W South Beach, the Gilligans are
in Disney for a few days of R&R. The thing is it is as cold as a
witch’s tit here, 24 degrees isn’t Florida weather at all-this most
certainly wasn’t in the brochure, but hey, what are you going to do? You
guys up there have it far worse than me; at least it isn’t snowing
(yet!)
Well to warm us all up, I found
