23 Dishes

Day 49: 23 – “Write 23 food products that you like.” I like a lot of food. I think it would be easier to write about my top ten least favourite foods. But I do write a list of 23 so I can finish this day. It has been a busy day for me. sushi […]

töltött káposzta

Today i prepared töltött káposzta (stuffed cabbage, but i did it Beáta Stanicsné Bödő-style and i layered it). It is one of my favourite Hungarian dishes. Please do not tell me that i prepared it the wrong way because there are as many ways to prepare it as there are families in Hungary. Some families make […]

Jelly Cafe

Arriving safely to Denver Airport was a happy moment, but my friend Nick took me to a place i have wanted to visit for a long time in Denver, Jelly Cafe. They have the best holes there. Their holes are filled with wonderful flavours, flavours that explode in your mouth. i had two favorites, […]

Baton Rouge

Yesterday, my sister took me to the state capital buildings, yes with an “s” because Baton Rouge has a new one and an old one. The new one was built in the 1930’s by Huey P. Long the governor at the time and it would be the building in which he was shot in […]

So Hard For The Money

i went to the world famous French Quarter. It happened that i was fortunate to be there during the last day of the French Quarter Festival. There was live music on the streets and many people out enjoying the sunshine. It was a bit more expensive than usual for parking, so that was unfortunate. The […]

Avery Island the Home of Tabasco

Today i went to Avery Island. It is where the most famous hot sauce, Tabasco, is made. It was really fascinating hearing about the process of making the sauce. It is stored three years in wooden barrels and then stirred for 20 something days. Even more exciting to hear, Tabasco Company is into saving the […]

A Walk In The Park

My best friend, Pál Tamás, and i decided to take a walk in the Városliget (City Park) in Budapest. We found street art and a great cafe to eat a hamburger, in fact it was the best burger i have had in Hungary. If you are travelling to Budapest and want to eat a very delicious hamburger, then […]

Tamale Pie Recipe

Many people ask me for my recipes and i agree to give them it, but i am terrible at follow through. i do not mean to be difficult, but i am when it comes to writing recipes. i do not actually use recipes to cook; i do most of it from instinct and sometimes i […]

In Digoin On A Boat

i am back. i spent a week on a boat in Digoin, which is in the Bourgogne of France. As for the actual boat tour, i can recommend it, but only with some conditions. First off, i suggest going in the summer when the weather is better. It rained every day and the sun shined […]

Perouges Encore

i went for my second visit to Perouges, with Tim and Carol, since i have lived in Lyon, France. It was even better than the first visit because this time i saw goats, really cute ones, and i saw a Frenchman shear sheep. There were some kids from a school on a field trip and […]
