Well, I've been back in the States for a couple of months now, it's probably time that I post the last of my pictures from the spring's European sojourn.

My photography walks started to peter out a bit as the heat arrived, but there are three cities featured here (and one pod hotel). Do you recognize them?

The past year has been a strange one, and a difficult one for me to find a lot of energy to create. On the plus side, I ended up spending pretty close to half of the year in Spain, bouncing around to a number of places in the south and east of the country, and eating all sorts of delicious foods along the way.

During my months in Spain I visited plenty of restaurants, but being the relatively broke person that I am — who also isn't so bad at cooking — I prepared a lot of meals for myself as well. I'm still not an expert in Spanish cuisine by any means, but I did learn my way around the supermercado pretty well. And, so, I put together a list of 10 of my favorite foods at the grocery store in Spain.

This is not a list of the best foods in Spain, nor is it a list of things that you absolutely need to try — at least not all of it. It is, rather, mostly a list of things that I loved. But hey, I do have pretty good taste. And, in addition to being really tasty, the stories behind many of these foods are also pretty interesting.

You can see all of the pictures here, but for the rest of it you'll have to pop over to the Buslife Kitchen website.

If you haven't seen it in my stories, I am back in Spain for a while, this time around with a much more relaxed itinerary. Instead of exploring someplace new each week, I've been stationary on the Costa Blanca for (apparently) over a month now. Between writing and laying by the sea, I've been exploring everything within walking distance, which thankfully includes this incredible landscape. Turns out, if you're willing to walk really far, there are some pretty cool things to see out there.

Happy Sunday, y'all. If you're looking for a little brunch-spiration today, here's a collection of some of my more interesting breakfast recipes from across the internet. You've got:

-Carrot Cake Scones
-Sausage Gravy Breakfast Pizza
-Red Velvet Crepes
-Spicy Gochujang Kale and Eggs Skillet
-Mediterranean Egg Bites, and
-Elotes-Style Breakfast Scramble

All you get here are the photos, but if you pop over to my website, you'll find the rest of what you need to start this — and every — Sunday with a proper special breakfast.

Alright, y'all, I've got another literary cocktail recipe for you, and this one is especially timely. It's called the Astrophage, and it's based on Project Hail Mary.

If you haven't seen it yet, buy a ticket, it's a great film. And if you haven't read it, do that too, it's a better book.

I had a lot of fun tying this Boulevardier riff in with the story, but I'm not going to explain the details here — I already wrote it all once today. In short, it's got bourbon, it's got port, and it's got some fun aromatic and garnish elements. You'll have to go to the thebuslifekitchen.com for the full explanation.

I have apparently been working as a News Writer for Tasting Table for nearly a year now. In that time, I've published over 450 articles on the site — pretty wild figure, that.

I've shared a handful of these articles to social media, but for some reason have been hesitant to promote that writing too much. I think it's time for that to change, though. I'll put a link at the end of this post that'll take you to my Tasting Table profile, where you can see the full body of work, but my plan is also to start sharing a few curated articles to my stories each week. Consider it a palate-cleanser to your regular doom-scroll.
