Namibia

Africa World 

This serves two people. As the name implies, better cooking will be achieved in summer. Gather all ingredients over the course of a couple of weeks. If you are missing a few, don’t sweat it. You will sweat later. Mix in well. Watch out, sand gets everywhere. Consume while in the oven. Keep cameras handy. This is, after all, the oldest recipe in the world. The Namib Desert, said to be the oldest on Earth – and I wonder how they decide such facts without a birth certificate – lies on the desolate southwestern coast of Namibia, South Africa’s northern neighbor on the Atlantic side. At about the same latitude inland but out of reach on our trip, is the Kalahari, straddling Namibia, South Africa and Botswana. Further still to the east are the famous Kruger Park and Mozambique, and then the Indian Ocean. From the book: "imagine being hundreds of miles away from any trace of civilization, feel the sizzling heat come down on the landscape and slow life to a halt, limit the notion of water to that which you carry with you, picture a world sandwiched between immense sky and endless dryness, remember the most incredible silence you ever noticed and multiply it by 10, promote in your mind the shade of a small tree to the status of oasis, and believe that even in all this emptiness, there will be life. You are now in Southern Africa." A full color limited print-run book relating the trip can be purchased on <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Roasted-Namib-Vincent-Mounier/dp/1320315674/" "Roasted in the Namib on Amazon">Amazon</a>. The complete story can be found <a href="https://www.vincentmounier.com/blog2/featured-namibia-posts/" title="Roasted in the Namib">here</a>.

  • Snowy Owls of Long Island January 8, 2022
    Possibly because of online birding sites and sighting maps, the last few times I found snowy owls, many others had as well and the scene was a comically static porcupine of long lenses trained on a stubbornly pensive bird squatting somewhere on a patch of sand. Not this time around. I was still basing my […]
