Cruiseday Tuesday – How cruise-ship meals are prepped.
“… it is just a bit busier than the average home kitchen :-)”
Travel Pics Theme: X marks the Spot
The theme letter for our travel pics this week is X (Marks the spot). For Tuesday, it is eXotic Hong Kong. We’ve only been to Hong Kong once – on our way to Europe, to catch up with our son in the UK … but I have to say, I’d love to return. This particular…
Travel Pics Theme: H for Hoi An
The theme for our travel pics this week is H, for Hoi An. One of the highlights of our three days there was a visit to the bustling food markets on a Sunday morning. The sheer variety of fresh food was astounding – and so was the range of participants. There were fruit and vegetable peddlers, interspersed…
Thursday thoughts – Rules v Customer Service
I was at a small restaurant last night, which we’ve been to regularly – and as it turns out, we were the only customers seated there. There were probably two reasons for that: One was because the heavens opened just moments after we arrived, so that would have deterred people thinking about whether to go…
Travel Pics Theme: E for Eating. Thanksgiving Chicken, California
The theme for our travel pics this week is E, for Eating. One of the best parts about taking photos while travelling is that looking at them later helps bring back the memories. This particular dish is one of my favourites – Honey Mustard Chicken Salad, with pecans, leafy greens, onion, and capsicum (peppers…
Travel Pics Theme: E for Eating. Soto Ayam, Bali
The theme for our travel pics this week is E, for Eating. Today’s image is a bowl of Soto Ayam, at a little restaurant in Nusa Dua, Bali (as you can probably tell by the Bintang beer bottle 🙂 ) Soto Ayam is an Asian variant on Chicken Noodle soup – but not the sort that…
Travel Pics Theme: E for Eating. Exploding cake, Xian.
The theme for our travel pics this week is E, for Eating. It’s my birthday today but this is NOT my cake – nor my candle. It’s actually a fireworks candle on a cake that was prepared for a fellow package tour participant in China a couple of years back. We were in a theatre…
Travel Pics Theme: E for Eating. Woolworths Diner
The theme for our travel pics this week is E, for Eating. The genesis of this image may not seem unusual to our American readers but this is a real rarity in Australia – it is from one of the few remaining grocery-store diners left in the country. It used to be that at the capital-city…
Travel Pics Theme: E for Eating. Vietnam garnishes
The theme for our travel pics this week is E, for Eating. We’ve just returned from a two week trip to Vietnam – and as part of the holiday, we did a cookery class near Hoi An, making Cha Gio (fried spring rolls) and Banh Xeo (fried Vietnamese pancakes with shrimp, pork, bean sprouts and egg),…
Travel Pics Theme: E for Eating. When things go wrong …
The theme for our travel pics this week is E, for Eating. Most of the food images we have taken, while traveling, have been of things that we really like. But every now and then, something is so bad it has to be documented. This is one such serving. In 2008, we were in Hawaii – which,…
