Kyoto, Japan: Kaiseki meal

This restaurant had phenomenal food! Yum yum

Fresh Sushi in Tokyo

The fish stalls, after all the work has stopped. Fisherman come VERY early to unload the cargo, so naturally does everyone who wants fresh fish!

Me in front of the sushi restaurant we ate at.

Fresh unagi. I could practically feel it slithering down my throat!

The view from behind the counter :) Num num num

Pepper Lunch in Tokyo

This was something that Kevin and I HAD to learn how to make. Now we can make a fair imitation of this god-worthy dish. All it is: raw shabu shabu meat (paper thin sliced red meat), white rice, corn, scallions placed on a ribbed, fajita-like cast iron skillet and served hot. The heat from the skillet cooks the meat, carmelizes the rice and it's all together the best thing you've ever tasted. Here's me (totally jet lagged) enjoying my first helping!

Mexican and Chinese food in Copenhagen?? Say what?

Scarfing down the Mexican food made at the Indian restaurant in Copenhagen. All we wanted was a chimi!

Ice Cream at Versaille

Two seconds later, this chocolate cone ended up on the white shirt :(

Radler and Sausages in Munich

Original HB sausage platter with Viennese and pork sausages and pfälzer sausage on a bed of sauerkraut. One happy Karla!

Yummy, yummy mustard and beer (in background)

Hofbrauhaus Munchen. "What do you mean it comes in Liters!" Radler = light beer. One happy Kevin!

Romanian food in Sighisoara, Romania

The home of Vlad Tepes and a yummy, slightly overpriced restaurant :) But hey, in Romania everything is cheap so we didn't mind :)

In the restaurant. Don't light the napkins on fire with the live candle!

Vlad Tepes Himself!

Beer and Bread Bowls in Hungary

View from the Buda side looking out to the Pest side. :)

We had much more interesting food than beer and bread bowls. But this is all I could find.

Pastries in Lisbon

To continue subsidizing the creating of the "Salt Castle" in Belem, the monks made pastries after the salt trade dried up.

 

Num, num num

Review: Eating at Tate Modern

The view from the Tate Modern Museum restaurant. Pretty amazing to think about what a long-spanning culture England has!

 My over-priced snack: Cold cuts and Breadsticks. Look at the Menu but it's too spendy for me to do again.

Review: Roxy Delicatessen in Times Square

While living in New York City for about a year, I bet you can imagine I ate at some WONDERFUL food places. You would be correct. Many of them I didn't take pictures of, and now I really regret that. I do have a few pictures. This one is of Nadine and I at the Roxy's Delicatessen in Times Square. As you can see, I'm enjoying my traditional chocolate cake (nom nom nom) while Nid is getting ready to scarf down the cheesecake. Yummy desserts! Also try the rugelach. (drool)

High Tea in Victoria

My boyfriend Kevin took me out to high tea at The Empress. A very ritzy 4-star hotel in Victoria (in British Columbia, for those of you who don't know your Canada geography). We had an adorable table by the window. We got all gussied up (as you can tell) and had a wonderful date. This is us enjoying our tea and treats. Let's see: finger sandwiches, tarts, creams, fruit, biscuits and much more! Tons of cream for the tea! Fine china. I love to see Kevin's hand gracefully curved around the prim tea cup! I felt like Princess Di!

Fried Yuca in Puerto Rico

I went to Puerto Rico to visit my friend Ro-el and his family. Here we are with the ocean behind us. It was a wonderful trip. I feasted heartily. :) 

Here is an example of one of the local dishes I tried. I had fried yuca and LOVED it. The yuca is the long, tan things in the middle of this picture. I also had fried plaintains, which I continued to love in the states.

Bangers and Mash in Edinburgh

Ahh, Bangers and Mash. Truely delicious! Smooth, creamy mashed potatoes with four sausages jauntly placed top-side complete with a smatteringlly healthy-helping of peas. Scrumptious!

Here's a picture of me chilling in the restaurant. The name of the restaurant escapes me today.
