It is always nice to take a little stroll in a beautiful and unusual neighborhood, replete with art on the walls and a charming atmosphere.

Sunday Market

June 25, 2017.Reading time 2 minutes.

Today I needed limes to season chicken, so I went to the market, that was an unusual move as it was devil-hot and air conditioning is always a priority. There was another reason behind this insane excursion – the deep need to take pictures in daylight. The weather has been atrocious lately- hot, humid, sauna-like. […]

Burger Date

I invited my two chickens to have a burger with me, and only the little one accepted the invitation. We went to Five Guys because it was close and not so expensive. The real reason for the date was not just to eat a hamburger – I needed footage to start practicing making videos on […]

We visited Aromas Del Perú again to have a quick lunch, but this time it was not only about the food – I needed a safe place to play. The staff at this restaurant knows me and are aware that I am always taking pictures of their food. This time though, I was dabbling in […]

What is a Pumpkin Patch?

October 25, 2016.Reading time 3 minutes.

I have been in this country for a long time, and one of the things that intrigued me when I got here was seeing a bunch of pumpkins, in piles, surrounded by scarecrows during the month of October. People usually visit pumpkin patches to choose a pumpkin for Halloween to make jack-o’-lanterns and to decorate […]

Ocean Rescue Stations In Miami Beach

January 31, 2016.Reading time 2 minutes.

These little “houses” on stilts scattered on the beaches of Miami Beach fascinate me. The colors and the wood construction remind me of the Caribbean. With about 29 locations located between South Pointe and 87th Street, these Rescue Stations are beautiful, interesting, colorful little gems of architecture that provide an important service to the community. There are […]

2015 Best Dishes According To Brenda Benoit

January 3, 2016.Reading time 5 minutes.

Some dishes are unforgettable: they are worth remembering every nuance and detail of the flavorings, spices and aromatics that went into their preparation. Most importantly, it is the way each bite of the food presented on the plate made you feel. Did the food make you feel happy, nostalgic or sad? Did you remember your […]

We Love Peruvian Food

May 31, 2015.Reading time 3 minutes.

Peruvian food is very unique, with a distinct character that defies description – it is varied, super-flavorful, intriguing and above all, comparable to no other cuisine anywhere. The combination of cultures (Spanish, West African, Inca, Chinese, Japanese) that went into creating this cuisine has produced a style of cooking that is remarkable. Pure- marvelous- food-chemistry. […]

Cock Soup

I am amazed that no one has tried to make Grace Foods change the name of this product. I think it’s fantastic. You can use Grace Cock soup to add body and flavour to chicken, shrimp or beef soup, or to your steamed fish, chicken or rice dishes. Grace Cock soup can also be enjoyed as a delicious broth […]

PRETTY FOOD

Back in 2012, I went to this restaurant in Miami Beach, which no longer exists. I loved both the presentation and the flavors of the food but I am not going to say anything about a place that is gone forever. Hard to say what factors contribute to the failure of a restaurant. It is a […]
