Jamon Serrano Lunch and Ibiza Plane Take-Off

From The Dutched Pinay, 4 month ago Similar articles

I was craving for Jamon Serrano while in Ibiza and I am not going to take a no for an answer. When its very hot, its best to drink bitter lemon, with ice.My last day in Ibiza was spent lounging at the hotel's lobby by the pool reading a book, Stieg Larsson's 1st book of the Millenium Series: ?Mannen die vrouwen haten' (English version has a different title, The girl with the dragon tattoo). And nothing surprising, since I'm not really a water person, the entire Ibiza short holiday I never...

The adventures of ~Dutched Pinay~... and her observations on the nuisances [and not], idiosyncrasies [and not] and superfluous affairs [and not] of living, working, socializing, traveling and acclimatizing in the cold, drizzly and windy Netherlands of northern Europe.

So, the continuation of the story of the weekend's walk will have to wait.  Per això, l'historia del cap de setmana haurà d'esperar.Cause I was at the hairdresser's on Tue getting my hair dressed (cut) and he was telling me about this break up the week walk he was going to do with a friend (and fellow hairdresser.  They were going to leave super early Wed morning, climb Puig Mal (2911 M) and come back for lunch.  I asked, slightly pathetically, if I could come and he said...

Aux Champs-Elysées

From The Bold Soul, Yesterday, Similar articles

I'm in the final day of frantic packing, cleaning and organizing for my trip to the States on Friday (why, oh why did I book an 8:20am flight' WHAT WAS I THINKING') and for some reason I'm inordinately more anxious about this trip than I usually am when I travel. (And no, I'm not having premonitions about bad things happening to the plane. I'm just freaking out about the piles of laundry, the messy kitchen, and the fact that I haven't vacuumed, food shopped, or ironed Georges' work shirts...

The Remains of the Déjeuner

From The Bold Soul, 5 days ago, Similar articles

Finally having time to explore our new quartier this weekend, we stumbled on this restaurant ("Le Mansart") on a side street between Blanche and Pigalle, and decided to have lunch. I had an amazing salad with lemon-marinated chicken, fresh melon and Parmesan. Apparently, they do a brunch (with mimosas!) on Sundays so we'll have to come back some time. And they have foosball, so what's not to love'

From New Life in KL!, 6 days ago, Similar articles

Quick review on a new place at Publika. Plus points- love the chocolate cappuccino- tiramisu yummy- pasta (seafood pasta and the other one with mushroom cream) both were yummy and tasty and unexpected for a small restaurant like theirs - hubby loved the cod fish order Bad points- food portion were small!!! All 5 adults with me at that time (last Sunday lunch time) had the same conclusion... Food was small, we needed to order dessert to fill the "gap"- hubby said his dish was small, so small...

Trip to the Ilha do Cabo

From de kooijtjes, 6 days ago, Similar articles

Today I went to the Ilha for the first time. This 8 km long peninsula surrounds the Bay of Luanda. With its wide beaches this is the main recreational area of the city and also the place to be for Luanda's nicest nightclubs and restaurants. I didn't come here for lunch but for my first board meeting of the international club which was held at one of the member's home. Miraculously, this morning there was not the usual bad traffic and I had some spare time to drive to the very point of the...

Final Push: Marshall, TX to Home Sweet Home Pensacola

From Here There and Everywhere, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles

AdventureMan looked at the map. We had thought we would stop somewhere in Louisiana today, spend the night, but . . . you get this close, and with just a little effort, we could be home. We could pick up the Qatari Cat. We could have dinner with our son and his wife and our sweet little grandson . . . We smile at each other, and head home. We stop for gas in Jackson, Mississippi, and find a family run BBQ nearby, where lunch is quick, and delicious, and we are back on the road in no time....

Don Jose's, A Bright Spot in Decatur, TX

From Here There and Everywhere, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles

The morning drive is interesting, as we leave Interstate 40 and cut across Texas headed toward Dallas-Fort Worth. The road is fast, and cuts through cattle ranches, farms, ranches and some deserted towns. By noon, we are more than ready for a stop, and decide to try to find something in Decatur. We don’t want same-old, we want local, and AdventureMan spots Don Jose’s. Lunch was good, and you are just going to have to take my word for it because I forgot to take any photos. Don...

Great NY Noodle Town

Great NY Noodle Town

From Lioness in Japan, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles

I’m finally back home in Tokyo, and again, I was just too busy to blog but that means I have TONS of stories to share. I loved travelling with the kangaroo but nothing beats home. While it was nice experiencing the perks that go with tagging along with a road warrior (upgrades to suites, swish first-class airport lounges, great seats on the plane), I would still choose my home in Tokyo over those anytime. But let’s get on with reminiscing my travels… Great NY Noodle Town is...

Another quick lunch in Amsterdam: Pilaf basmati salad

From The Dutched Pinay, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles

Because I am on the road most of the times I get the opportunity to eat lunch outside. Well, I do not make this a habit really because I usually bring my own food. However, there are times that I am too busy to pack my lunch so I rely on supermarkets, or depending on location, a quick lunch in a cafe.Salad grains for lunch: Whole grain pilaf and basmati rice with pistachios, raisins, chickpeas and dill herbs, and some fresh mint hot tea. Salad is a bit dry but I like it so 4 stars out of 5....

Lunch at Bright Angel Lodge

From Here There and Everywhere, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles

Bright Angel Lodge is next door to El Tovar Lodge, and we figure we will give it a try. We are glad we did, we met some fine people there, and had a great lunch. I know I keep showing you photos of fabulous food, but we really try hard to eat a lot of vegetables and fruits, so while the foods are sumptuous, we are doing OK in the clothes-still-fitting department This is the casual family dining restaurant at the Bright Angel Lodge: The Menu cover: The Salsa and the chips were really...
