KARA: When it comes to travel, I'm like Woody Allen. I'm afraid of plane crashes. I'm afraid of rare tropical diseases. I'm afraid of food poisoning. I'm afraid of getting into a cab in a place where I don't speak the language, being driven to a secluded location and being forced to marry into a local tribe and forage for food for the rest of my life.

But why should we spend thousands of dollars traipsing through airports and security lines, dishing out big bucks to stay in sterile hotel rooms, when we could save all that cash and stay home? Thanks to my fat collection of takeout menus, I have the culinary world at my fingertips.
