I didn’t post about food since a long while. So I will open this food chapter with a local delicatessen which was also our new year’s eve main dish: Maine’s favorite lobsters! I promised to my two children that if they would do some homework (among them finding an Einstein’s riddle), we would have lobstersContinue reading “Lobsters”

Colorful plates
Here some plates to be inspired with…. ask me the recipe!
Acclimation
I am re-acclimating to Maine. The weather, the rhythm, flora and fauna, cooking, loneliness – another type of quarantine… trying to find again an equilibrium. Today was extremely windy, and rainy, houses lost power… I was lucky, just a bit colder than the days before, but this pushed me to change my rhythm. Because itContinue reading “Acclimation”
Q-Day 7
Half way through! I asked for a change of my bed sheet today. They brought me only the bed sheet… so I asked for a change of the rest of the bed. It is good to have all the time in the world! And they drop me a little personalized card as encouragement. Appreciated! TheContinue reading “Q-Day 7”
Q-Day 6
Lunch time: the bell rang, meaning that the meal is served and available. I was passing by the front door as I came out of the bathroom. So I opened the door almost immediately, and… exchange a sight with the staff! Ohhhh, first live contact in some days, what a surprise! Apart from few niceContinue reading “Q-Day 6”

And most of the time this makes me discover little delicatessen… Do you remember the superContinue reading “Tops”
Experiments (2)
When we arrived in Asia ten years ago, there was plenty of room to try new veggies, new fruits, new dishes, even new fishes and meat. From dragon fruit, jackfruits, and other yam to several special hot sauces or gravy, or even insects if I would like to, I enjoyed in discovering the different culinaryContinue reading “Experiments (2)”
Experiments
These days I have been trying some new recipes… First I needed to use the 3 bananas that were becoming too black to be eaten with pleasure – but my mum always said: “we can’t through any food”. So I needed to do something before throwing them. And I remembered a delicious banana cake IContinue reading “Experiments”
Thoughts for food
Samples of my last 10 days meals… beginning with a Friday in front of the fire place – I was too cold from the day long at my desk and needed some comfort… Going on with a tortilla (potatoes and eggs – remember I got some fresh eggs from a colleague of mine!); red cabbageContinue reading “Thoughts for food”
