Guest Blogging

This week I did a guest blog over at Cook Ding's Kitchen.  Check it out.

After spending a week in Berlin teaching and lecturing, I'm hanging out at Marnix Well's house in London.  We are pulling all nighters talking history, theater, art, religion and music.  

If you are around London and want to meet up (or get a private lesson), get in touch. My regular contact phone number sends and receives texts and of course my email works fine too.
