Spent most of last week at a at TM Forum staff meeting in New Jersey, delayed returning home by a day because of the mess caused down here in Dallas by about twelve tornados. Thankfully, our house was spared. So, no stories about some of my more exotic eating activities. However, when I did get back home Jeannie and I visited one of our favorite Mexican restaurants. As I sat eating a rib eye steak with cheese and onion enchiladas and the fixings I thought about Fred Flintstone eating a brontosaurus... -
In Singapore last week attending TM Forum’s Management World Asia 2012. What a great line up of topics and speakers! And a record attendance at this event. As I play the role of vagabond I often like to compare local food to my existing “standard”. For example, trying a local version of nachos or burgers. In Singapore I compared the American version of chicken wings… http://americanfood.about.com/od/appetizersandsoups/r/bufchicwing.htm to a version of Malay style marinated... -
In China last week for my first visit of the year to that interesting country. I am always willing (perhaps!) to try something new during my culinary adventures. So, when my hosts suggested a house specialty at one restaurant, could I say no, even though I associate pigeons with not-so-nice-things they often do to my car? Also known as squab, I had to try it…deep fried and delicious…and even had it at another restaurant during my stay. If your taste buds are open to something new, here... -
In Budapest last week doing some Business Process Framework (eTOM) training at a member site. Not only did I enjoy some wonderful Hungarian food, but I was pleasantly surprised when my host took me to his favorite Greek spot for lunch two days in a row. I enjoyed a tasty gyro one day, followed by homemade moussaka. Here is a link if you are interested what it is… http://greekfood.about.com/od/eggplant/r/moussaka.htm . In also keeping with a music theme I located a pop recording from a Greek... -
Team Action Week Baltimore was certainly a success, with more attendees and work accomplished than in quite a few years past. While there I was treated to dinner at Charleston, an unforgettable restaurant, where a simple rock fish was transformed into a true delight for the palate. Check it out at http://www.charlestonrestaurant.com/ . A couple of blogs ago I wrote about flames and sparks in Sydney that describes a friendly debate with a TM Forum member about the uses of the Information Framework... -
I spent the last two weeks on vacation, cruising down the Danube river with my wife Jeannie. It seemed like, as with a lot of vacations, we fell into a pattern during our visits to a number of cities. Seeing the town center, palaces and castles, and eating. And there were some things that didn’t fit the pattern, such as when we decided to have a good ol’ American hamburger in Budapest. We all live with patterns and non-patterns. The components of TM Forum Frameworx contain both. Patterns... -
I love seafood and was looking forward to some at a restaurant on the “Rocks” last week in Sydney, Australia that is. However, one of my TM Forum member pals and his wife convinced me to try a French restaurant with them. And, I am glad I did…a wonderful three course taste of France, starting with Coquilles Saint-Jacques, then Steak au Poivre, and a desert of flaming crepes ( Crepes Flambe). The restaurant is “Chez Maurice and Linda”. Chefs Maurice Migneron welcomed... -
While in Dublin last week I thought I would experience corned beef and cabbage, a dish that I had several times while on vacation there with Jeannie back in 2005. Well, I missed that experience, but was surprised when we visited Milano’s, where I had a great pizza experience – the spiciest on the menu called the Francesco Mazzei . Here’s a link if you want to find out more… http://www.milano.ie/our-restaurants/7779/milano-dublin-grand-canal.aspx And I was pleasantly surprise... -
I’ve been home this week after spending a productive week in Toronto. Even though I was in Toronto I had to have some famous Montreal “smoked meat”. For those of you not familiar with this “north of the border” treat, here is a link you may find of interest… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal-style_smoked_meat . One of the “meats of the matter” which we chatted about during training was using the SID Location ABE to support various address formats... -
I was in Johannesburg, South Africa, last week teaching Frameworx, eTOM, and SID to a class of business analysts. Steak is one of my favorites (I seem to have a never-ending list of these) and some of the best I have had are in South Africa. I wasn’t disappointed from steak burgers to a half-kilo rump steak, which I had to celebrate a successful trip on my last night below the equator. I found a Southwestern themed restaurant right next to the hotel in which I was staying called “Spur...
