Boulder Daily Camera: “Peggy Markel Marks 20 Years of Creating Authentic Travel”

It would be too simple to say that a passion for extra virgin olive oil guided Boulder’s Peggy Markel toward her career. Just as it wouldn’t be quite right to say that it was her upbringing in Alabama  …

 Travel Wisdom.  Sunshine after days of rain. . . Yet, I chose to go to the cinema this afternoon for the #middleeastfestival . The first short was a film on Syria. “A day in Aleppo”, by Ali Alibrahim. We can’t imagine what life is like on a daily basis and why it is happening. Random bombings happen frequently. There aren’t enough emergency vehicles to handle the wounded. It’s a reality we can’t imagine. “Sons”, another short by Italian s Antonio Chiavacci and Benedetto Ferrara shows how in years of siege and war, the children are always the first victims. The following films were about displaced Syrians living in other border countries, and how displaced they feel and how misunderstood they are. . . Other films came from filmmakers from Israel, Palestine, Iraq and Iran. I particularly liked one animated film called “Rope”. Metaphorical animation on the concepts of fear and submission. . . . I like to take pictures. Usually portraying beauty and food and things that delight. It’s not because I’m not in touch with the rest of the world, it’s because I am in touch, and very touched by the world, that I do my best to share something meaningful or pretty. It’s what these filmmakers are also trying to do. To show humanity in places of extreme suffering. . . . #middleastfestival #florenceitaly #awarenessiskey #gratitudeiskey #activismiskey #expressioniskey  ‘Tis the season for agretti. Monks beard ( barba di frate). Succulent. Slightly marshy. High in iron and so good for you. It cooks up like spaghetti and taste delicious aglio olio or in a broth here with shoyu and pot liquor.
   In need of some soul food?? One of my fondest memories of spring, was picking wild asparagus down dirt roads in the Maremma in southern Tuscany. . Get the recipe for Sformato di Asparagi -asparagus flan- directly on the blog. Link in bio! . . Oh, but if you prefer something c l e a n s i n g ... pop onto my stories for A1 super detox veggie broth tonic. . Keep @gowithpeggy in mind as you hunt and gather your next travel. (I’ll hold the basket) . . #goodfood #springtonic #loveyourliver #selfcare #takeabreak #tummymassage #eatsimply #soulfood #vegetarian #slimville #slowfood #slowliving #foodtrips #calmbeforethestorm #tuscany #liguria #foodphotography #darling #food52 #loveyall  I want to drink the colors of spring. Revel in poignant discourse. Be silent and sing.
 Happy Sunday ☀️  His and Her G & T. from the cart. Monkey 47, fever tree tonic, fennel, lemon, radish.. and Manon, fever tree elderflower tonic, rosemary, orange. To be exact I say get yourself over to @corrida_boulder. Women don’t exist on a view alone we need pithy conversation to match a toothsome meal. Thank you @bryandcolorado for such a welcoming, delicious place for authentic Spanish food and drink in Boulder. I’ll be back to sip sherry and vermouth on the veranda.  Line-caught tuna with green apple, coconut, lime and jalepeño..muy bueno. Riesling to sip. A lovely snack @thekitchen bar. A touch of home in the hood. Ran into my friend @jillgrano who is standing up strong on the city council for so many important issues, especially gun control. Give your voice on April 3rd. Let’s stand together #bouldercolorado !
