HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE! ESPECIALLY TO MY FRIENDS IN THE UNITED STATES!
We do not celebrate Thanksgiving in Holland thus no Thanksgiving spread for me to post. What I have here was my husband's request and what we had tonight. He wanted Boerenkool Stamppot ( Curly Kale with mashed potatoes, a typical dutch meal) with worst (Dutch sausage) and that's exactly what he had. Only I wasn' t able to take shot of his plate. On the photo was my plate, only instead of sausage I made for myself roas

Here is the continuation of my beef mirin post that I was not able to finish last night. I usually get the chance to blog but late at night and usually, like now, I am already beat. But I shall try to finish this post.
Like I mentioned last night here, this recipe was actually very Filipino and we call it bistek back home. We would cook it with very minimum ingredients: beef, soya sauce, lemon and some pepper. All thrown in a pan and simmered slowly until the beef soften and juice almost disa

I made this few weeks ago actually. One of those experiments went well, yey! Actually the basic ingredients was taken from a viand we call in The Philippines 'bistek' or beef steak, very Filipino and not comparable to steaks you're used to, since this is with soy sauce and lemon juice.
I'm sorry but I need to go, the rest will come tomorrow.

It's winter time again, the time when every bone in my body is asking for something warm , that is nice for the tummy. It's soup season in our house, yes..you read it right...soup season.
I have mentioned on my November 26th entry that I have tried 4 new recipes that night, well this was one of them. I truly am a fan of this soup for many years. My favorite to order at Hua Hin's night market whenever I had my day off. I rather eat this than the fancy menu we always get from the hotels where I w

During our Thailand vacation, my husband and I agreed not to eat lunch as in the morning we would always get breakfast and dinner should be the 'highlight' of our evenings. But one midday we broke that agreement when we passed by a small restaurant just outside the hotel where we were staying. This small eatery happens to be one of my favorites in the area because while I was still working in HuaHin, I would always go there even in the middle of the night to get some late bites since it's open 2

Plain 'raw' are the food images for this entry, and there are reasons behind it.
Even though today is my birthday (yes, shameless plugging) I celebrated it yesterday with a very few people, thinking that I could carry out my original plan to have a barbeque. Weather forecast was consulted days before and even many times yesterday but I guess you can never really trust a typical dutch weather.
Because the day turned out to be a little disastrous due to: it rained, my pug pooped on my leg, I ha
