Fingers crossed for rain Monday.

Memphis has been a sauna the last few days. I grew up in Beaumont Tx so I thought I would be somewhat accustomed to heat and humidity but the older I get the less I tolerate it.

Early on in my career (chef/restaurateur) I lived and worked in Paris for a little over two years and I fell in love with really funky cheese. I kept two journals while there. One was just my daily experiences and interactions. The other was one that I documented all of the cheeses and pastries...

Yes.

Thanks for the info. I’ve always loved reading H Rider Haggard. In chapter 4 of King Solomon’s Mines he recounts a hunt in which a giraffe was taken and writes… “By the time the "scherm" was finished the moon peeped up, and our dinners of giraffe steaks and roasted marrow-bones were ready. How...

There is so much information to digest, for a newbie, when trying to narrow down where to hunt in Africa that it can be a bit overwhelming. I would love to hear a concise list of the general pros and cons of each country y’all have hunted (where they stand out and where they may fall short)...
