Trying spicy tinned fish
Favorite Restaurant Dishes 2019
These were the dishes that sang to me last year - the memory of their flavors wants to make me dance. Are they in order of excellence? Of course not - It’s all random. Chirashi from Dragonfly Izakaya - 18 pieces chef's selection sashimi over rice. I am a fan of raw fish, so... Continue Reading →
My Brother Gave Me A Red Hot Instant Pot
My brother gave me a red hot Instant Pot for Christmas. Why? Why join the IP party now if it has been around for ages? Well, I have been working from home for practically the last 6 years and had the luxury of having dinner on the table no later than 7:00 pm because I... Continue Reading →
Jamaican Cow Cod Soup – The Strangest Thing I Have Ever Eaten

Dukunoo Jamaican Kitchen In Wynwood, Miami
Mister B. suggested that we visit Dukunoo Jamaican Kitchen in Wynwood. It's unlike any other Caribbean restaurant I have been to in Miami – so very pretty, elegant in a whimsical kind of way, eclectic and full of flamboyant art on the walls. Color and comfort are two things that strike you when you first... Continue Reading →
My Favorite Instant Noodle Soup
I first fell in love with laksa in a hotel room in Brisbane, Australia. I was not in the mood to go down to the dining room, so I ordered room service. Laksa had been on my food bucket list for a while, and this seemed like the perfect occasion to try it. Laksa is... Continue Reading →
