  • Recent travels and food ~ Mar 2009

    Recently I got back from traveling to an island off the coast of Sumatra.  It was a nice quiet natural peaceful kind of place for the most part.  At one point I stayed at a hotel on the beach (easy to do on a a small island).  The view was great and the sound of the waves is always comforting to me.



    That was in contrast to the mud trekking I did on a motorbike taxi to get to a place I needed to go.



    I'm going back with Christina in a couple weeks.  Meanwhile, we've been living in the city.  Food seems to be the main event for us when we're in the city.  I've been making dinners with Christina using a Rachel Ray cookbook I got for my birthday from our friends, the Quons.  They're quick dinners so that's been nice, especially after a long day at work. 

     

    Something funny that was food-related we saw recently was a produce section of a supermarket we frequent.  The only thing "exotic" to us is the Terong Belanda, translated as Dutch eggplant, used to make a sweet sour drink.
