Erik's Buffet is my new blog designed to replace much of my content on Facebook. Just as a buffet has a wide range of foods, this blog will cover a smorgasbord of topics: *Food *Books *Politics *Observations from Living Abroad *Predictions on What's Coming Next *What I am Doing. So, please sample the buffet and join me as I escape Facebook. And feel free to shout back--I'd love to hear from you.
