Blog linking to a few parties this week and think my expat
friends will like this quote attributed to Christopher Columbus. "You can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to
lose sight of the shore.”
For those of us who travel, it is big leap of faith and you never know where you will end up but always an adventure. The theme for this expat blog challenge was tastes like home, for me that had to be the beach.
Dulse is a bit more flavoursome, in the Maritimes and Maine, people will chew it like tobacco, or chop it up as a spice. Dulse is making a comeback as hip new super food and people like the Maine Seaweed Man are posting recipes to show how to sneak a bit of salty spice into your cooking.
Lots more natural and salty recipes to be found on my pinterest page and a few creative craft projects too.
Visit Catherine Scanlon’s blog to check out her give away
of this very pretty stamp set. Having a lot of fun with her floral themes.
Catherine is from Maine where they are waiting patiently for the arrival of
spring and inviting everyone to share cheery words about spring flowers.

For those of us who travel, it is big leap of faith and you never know where you will end up but always an adventure. The theme for this expat blog challenge was tastes like home, for me that had to be the beach.
For Chrisy’s reconnecting with nature party, I can share this
photo of nature playing a decorative arranger with these shells forming a
perfect heart shape. Beach living is all about being outdoors and embracing the
many moods of nature.
Sky Watch Friday fans know most of my favourite photos are from
the beach, this one is a fun shot that included all manner of flying things,
folks in paragliders and birds coasting on the breezes running up the cliffs. How is
that for getting up close with nature?
Tastes of home for me will always be seafood and find it
interesting that what is a tasty treat in some places is not considered
suitable for humans in other places. In
the North Atlantic Sea Moss or Irish Moss and Dulse are hugely popular.
Sea moss is harvested and sold for processing into gelatin
based products including pudding. It is great to see that it is now considered
a environmentally friendly sustainable crop.
Dulse is a bit more flavoursome, in the Maritimes and Maine, people will chew it like tobacco, or chop it up as a spice. Dulse is making a comeback as hip new super food and people like the Maine Seaweed Man are posting recipes to show how to sneak a bit of salty spice into your cooking.

Thanks for linking up with me for 'reconnect with nature'. Love all the photos, especially the one of the edible seaweed. Eating some myself is one of my favourite memories of travelling to New Brunswick, Canada.
Dulse! Have not had that in years
Love the beach photos, and especially the heart-shaped shells. I am far from the beach here, but what a beautiful place it looks to be!
Beautiful photos. The heart shaped shells were a great find!
When we visited Prince Edward Island, we tried sea weed pie. I'll stick with peanut butter pie! They used to drive horses and carts out onto the beach at low tide and collect the sea weed. Was a really big industry there.
A beautiful SWF-post!
Well done!
That's a lovely view of the beach and sky. I've never heard of Dulse! Now I know about it. Thanks! Happy skywatching!
Great shots! Glad you are enjoying Oz
Love that paraglider shot!!
Lovely shots and a great quote.
wow! I've never even heard of those things! and you're right it's funny how we all eat such different things and sometimes think "that's a weird thing to eat" but never realize how some of the things we eat could be just as strange to others.
Beautiful photos Mandy. My younger daughter LOVEs to snack on dried sea weed!
Beautiful beach scene and a lovely sky....
What amazing photographs! I really love the pictures of the beach. I'm not a brave 'foodie' (not a foodie at all, really) so it's interesting to learn about so many different yummy treats that people enjoy! I really enjoyed your post!
