Just came back from a congress/mini-vacation in The Netherlands (aka Holland), where I was blessed to enjoy some great international dining in Amsterdam, Den Haag (The Hague) and also in Brugge, Belgium. This is part 1 of my culinary adventures, enjoy!
Strange enough I had Italian twice during this trip, and I say “strange” because it [...] -
Fancy mini-trifles, also called Dessert Shooters
Tuesday, November 24th, 2009
A couple of weeks ago I saw the cutest desserts ever at a Seasons 52 restaurant in Atlanta. We had a company dinner and the restaurant was amazingly crowded for a Monday night. Their unique approach to dining, offering a menu inspired by the seasons and the fresh market, is very popular.
For appetizers we had some [...] -
Spondivits – Atlanta’s Best Seafood Restaurant
Friday, September 25th, 2009
If you enjoy lobster, crab claws, oysters, and clam chowders at an affordable price in a causal, welcoming and relaxed atmosphere then head on over to Spondivits!
You’d have to travel to San Francisco, New Orleans, or the Florida Keys to enjoy comparable seafood quality and service.
Being so close to Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport provides Spondivits [...] -

Monday, August 10th, 2009
Somewhat of a delay in posting the final part of my culinary adventures, but blame that on technology. After finishing the article, complete with picture gallery, I clicked the Submit button and …. oh no!! My entire article disappeared to Lalaland! Needless to say I felt very much like crying (after cursing a bit), but I [...]

Dining out healthy
Wednesday, July 29th, 2009
A few weeks ago I came across an article on CNN providing some healthy tips for eating out. The topic is definitely getting more attention nowadays, because just this morning I saw on the news how fat affects your bloodstream after eating ‘bad’ food and ‘good’ food.
Although most Americans want more healthy choices in [...] -

The Wedding week in Den Haag.
Throughout the week we had home cooked meals prepared by Mom or me. Curry fish, eggplant or bitter melon with shrimp or cured beef, pom. One day I cooked spaghetti and on another day, chicken in soy sauce with rice and cauliflower. Nothing fancy since we were doing finishing touches [...] -

Honey I’m baaack!!
It’s been weeks since my last entry, but for a good reason!
At the end of May I went to Holland for my sister’s wedding, taking some time to visit friends and family as well. Whenever we go see family, it’s ripping and running (as much as jetlag allows) and there is not much [...] -
Food in Portugal
Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009
I love Portugal! Maybe it’s because of my roots. My greatgrandfather was born at Madeira which is a Portuguese island. I’ve already been to Madeira a few years ago and it’s a lovely island. This time my husband and I went to Portugal to celebrate our honeymoon.
Portugal is a beautiful country, especially the west coast, with [...]

Food in the Dominican Republic
Friday, March 13th, 2009
My boyfriend and I recently went to the Dominican Republic on vacation and we had a great time!
Our only worry was to be on time for breakfast, lunch and dinner. In between we enjoyed the white sandy beaches, the sun, the friendly people, piña coladas and especially the food. We stayed at an all-inclusive hotel, but because this isn’t [...]
