From the People of Fiji with Love

The sunsets in Fiji are beautiful, but they aren't what will touch your heart when you visit.

Even though we’ve cut our getaway short, we’re Even though we’ve cut our getaway short, we’re still very much in vacation mode; sleeping in, lounging about, and playing tourists in our little paradise. One of my favorite things to do is go out and forage for food in the farms and Mennonite markets. Then coming home and trying to figure out what to make with it all. We might just layout by the lake while we think about it. I admit, I have waves of anxiety over how uncertain so much still is for all of us. But I’m trying to remember to not stress over the things I can’t control and to focus on the small things that remain beautiful and great. How are you making the most of summer during these strange times? . . . #fingerlakes #summerinquarentine #myflx #summervibes
Stop crying over Goya. These products are NOT our Stop crying over Goya. These products are NOT our heritage or our culture. They are byproducts of industrialized CONVENIENCE. Understand that THAT is what is being lost. Nothing more. Don’t misinterpret a childhood memory, or a staple growing up as cultural tradition. Dig deeper, go further into your culture. Goya ain’t it. You will find that to #BoycottGoya is to find your roots. You can find dry spices and herbs to mix your own adobo, sazon, and sofrito. You can also find dry beans. Prep ahead of time and store. It not only tastes so much better, it’s not hard and it is healthier and less expensive. . . . #food #spices #homemade #latinkitchen
We left Vermont a little earlier, not because it i We left Vermont a little earlier, not because it isn’t beautiful- because it is. Nor because there wasn’t enough to do - because there was. But because our cute cottage rental was surrounded by other cottages (we didn’t know), and though the neighbors were nice, we’ve been spoiled with not seeing neighbors when we step out in the AM for months - and have really loved that. Or hearing traffic (there was a busy road in front) and, well, the water heater was broken. Also? I think we’re spoiled now. The truth is, we just needed a little something different, but when it comes to paradise, we’re already in it. So we came back. Though I am eager to go back to VT in the fall. Plus, we also really love the vibe there. So, if you’re heading that way, enjoy. It’s such a sweet place. We will be here, at @theflxcottage. . . . #myflx #roadtrip #fingerlakes #familygetaway #flxsummer

Resting after a day of road tripping. We’ve arri Resting after a day of road tripping. We’ve arrived to Vermont, our first getaway since the pandemic started. We’ve brought all our own groceries and look forward to long hikes and dips in the lake. Much of what we can do closer to home, but sometimes a change in scenery is what a travel-loving spirit needs. Are you road tripping this summer? If so, where? . . . #summertravel #roadtrip #Vermont #greenmountains #travel
One of the things that I have learned living here One of the things that I have learned living here is how put off some people can easily be about driving more than 30 minutes anywhere. This is interesting because everything, for us in @theflxcottage, is at least 25 mins away - except the breweries and wineries, the lake and some farm stands. But otherwise, we’re driving. So, going into Ithaca (an hour drive) for a BLM protest and a meal, is really nothing and thank goodness because there are so many good places to eat here! They are slowly reopening, and their popular Aurora St. is open this summer for outdoor dining (see @visitithaca for more). We ventured a block away to finally eat at @moosewood_restaurant. Loved it. Want more. Bought one of the cookbooks. It is now on the top of my list along with @thompsonandbleeckerpizza as well as @mercato_kitchen. I haven’t even scratched the surface of all that’s good (what other places should I try?), and the added bonus is how beautiful the drive is. So, for my friends planning to visit, now you know: plan on driving because all the cool spots are worth it. . . . #roadtrip2020 #fingerlakes #ithacany #ithacaisgorges #ithacafood #flxsummer #besteateries
