Greek Festival… St Demetrios Church, Ft Lauderdale
Thursday, March 5th, 2009
Tomorrow noon 5am EST I will find myself in Greece again….
That photo was taken during the Greek Festival here in Ft Lauderdale.
I had moussaka that night , Hagar had some lamb shank… I bought some loukoumades but it was very dense and I did not like the syrup that much. But still for me it meant a lot….
My connection back to my other roots in Greece…… the man by the way is grilling some chicken marinated with lemon and herbs.
I will be “home” for a while….
Lasang Pinoy Sundays # 25… Saucy
Sunday, December 7th, 2008
When Ces of Spices started hosting this weekly Filipino food photography, she always have encouraged me to join. After all I have been active with the Lasang Pinoy “Filipino Taste” events before but fickle minded as I am, I never posted anything but I always check what’s going on by the time I find something to post, Sunday gone again.
So am not missing this one, she might not ask me for crazy ideas anymore, lol. This week’s theme is SAUCY… sounds so sexy isn’t it.
This is not strictly a Filipino food am posting, rather a Greek food. But when one thinks of kokinisto, it’s almost similar to the Filipino menudo sans liver.
Kokinisto means reddened, red sauce in Greek. It might be pork, chicken, veal, beef cooked in red sauce. Nostimo… Yummy!!!
panarea, aeolian islands
Monday, November 24th, 2008
There is no day I do not think of all the travels I have done all over Italy, or rather all along the coast lines of Italy.
One of the memorable trip we did was cruising the Aeolian Islands (north of Sicily). One of the islands we visited was Isola di Panarea.
When the chef asked if I can go and help him do his shopping I gladly took the chance. I always love checking local produce.
We did not really expect something grand since this island has only an estimate of 280 residents but nothing beats local Sicilian fruits and vegetables.
Panarea is one of the chain of volcanic islands (Aeolian) in north Sicily and its only 3.4 km

I have been archiving my photos and found this one…. I was on my way to meet up a friend for cafe au lait when I passed this dog waiting outside the boucherie just next to Marche Provencal in Antibes, France.
This dog is certainly a gourmand.
Photo taken from Nokia N70 (oh am not advertising for it…I have just taken so many good photos with that cell phone either when I forget to grab a camera with me or when my camera battery is dead)

tomato mozarella with basil and balsamic glaze
fruits for breakfast…
salmon canape .. bresaola swirls
There are times at work when our chef is off , so do the cooking for the owners and the crew. Well I do cook for the crew daily since chef comes only on long trips with us like when we were in croatia. Here are few things I have done for my boss and when I still have the chance to grab my camera before serving these. (more…)
macelleria equina…venice, italia
Wednesday, October 10th, 2007
I have so many files for some Venetian posts I wanted to share. The day before our boss arrived, I had to go shopping for fresh products. I found the most wonderful market ever in Italy. Some of you probably know which am talking about. I took Mick with me so he could help carry my bags as well and for him to explore the market. He loves food and is willing to taste almost everything I cook, except for one… equina (equine).. HORSE MEAT!While we were on our way back to the boat we passed this butcher that specializes horse meat. Can you see how much Mick squirmed?
I went in briefly to look around while Mick could not bring himself to peek. My first encounter of horse meat was in Switzerland. My ex Swiss family just love it, I could not imagine myself having the best cut of horse serve with vegetable, gravy and mash.The family would send us then parcels of Swiss goodies, some of it were cold horse meat lovingly wrapped shipped to Greece. I know that many of us really just could not eat some meat others enjoy.I wonder what kind of specialty meat some you love and dislikes. Whenever I cook at the boat and Mick could not figure out what is on his plate, I always tell him, eat it’s only CHEVAL! Will soon do a series of stories of Venice. Tomorrow am back to France then home……
