![]() I was bored, and I was lonely, and I was ashamed about both of these things.Ībout three weeks in, I was at the crepe shop that I visited regularly as a sort of afternoon ritual to get out of my host mother’s house. The feeling that I should be having the time of my life only compounded the guilt I felt at not having it. My host mother was lovely, but older, and the young people in town moved in tight circles that didn’t leave much room for outsiders. There were no clubs, and no cute boys lusting after me. I had spent the previous year watching the Real World: Paris, and as I folded my clothes into my fresh-purchased suitcase, I was sure that my time in Europe would be just the same: filled with cute boys who pined after me, late nights at clubs (as a small-town sixteen year old, I’d never been to a club but I assumed in Germany it would be completely different), and days spent laughing with my newfound German friends.Īnd then I got to Germany, where I’d been placed in a small town in the north.

I love flavor profiles that make me gasp with surprise and delight that make my tongue dance and pull my memory to trips I’ve taken both in real life and in my mind. Faith cooks how I want to eat: healthy (many of her recipes are gluten free, vegan and/or paleo), with a deep love for fresh, seasonal ingredients, but with an international twist. I’ve been obsessed with An Edible Mosaic for what feels like forever. ![]()
