A sorry excuse for why cakehead hasn't been posting: we were entirely consumed sampling from every lunch buffet Rwanda has to offer.

The cakehead blogging hiatus has been long and mean. We never gave warning that we were going to be going away for a little while. But it's not because of anything you did as readers and it's not because we're terrified of the commitment of writing a daily blog.

We were just very busy, preparing our entire cakehead team for a trip to the other side of the Atlantic and the equator. We left no one behind. From the staff in the test kitchen to our tasters, food stylists, recipe historians, restaurant critiques and cookbook reviewers. We loaded ourselves into a jet airplane to first sample the delicacies that Brussels Airline had to offer...then upon touchdown we began our six week tasting adventure of the cuisine of Rwanda and kicked off our love affair with the country itself.

Now we're back and are committed to bringing you all the new stories and discoveries we find, viewing the world as we do, through food-colored glasses. Maybe we'll even write a report on our dining experiences in the land of a thousand hills.
