In Madrid last week, attending Action Week. I’m partial to ham and sausage. And if you are, too, then keep reading. If not, you can skip my culinary adventures in the next paragraph and continue with those that follow. My food adventure began with quite a variety of chorizo (dry sausage in this case) that was spread before me during our lunches at the NH Hotel, the venue for Action Week. I thought I was in heaven. Here is a link to those of you who share my delight in eating this treat…... -
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 last week doing some consulting in China. One day was a bit cold for my thin Texas blood, even though I grew up in the Northeastern United States. So, at lunch I warmed myself by indulging in hot pot. My hot pot was a wonderful concoction of tofu, tofu skin noodles, seaweed noodles, meatballs, sausage, fish balls, and veggies. Many diners made their own version. For those of you who want to know a little more about this delight, here is a link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_pot . The cold weather... -
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... -
Management World Orlando 2011 was certainly a busy place to be last week. And, quite eye-opening. From a culinary perspective I turned some shredded pork and chicken made as a sandwich with tortillas into a street vendor taco by taking the top off and using it as a double layer of tortillas folded over the fillings, which included a spicy pepper jack cheese. If you want to learn more about this south of the border delight, here is a link… http://www.texasmonthly.com/food/recipefiles/Meat%3A... -
I was back visiting China last week, and in addition to my work there, I was also putting the finishing touches on the first three chapters of a new book. Hopefully this book will be of some assistance in explaining how to use the SID for database design,. The topic is one of my “loves”, and at long last, I finally am putting it together. Some of you may remember the American crooner Frank Sinatra, also known as “old blue eyes”. Here is a link to his rendition of the song... -
I was back visiting Manila last week, teaching and working with a provider transforming its business. While there I had the opportunity to see a mode of transportation unique to the Philippines – the Jeepney, modeled after World War II jeeps used by US armed forces. Take a look… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeepney . They shake, rattle, and roll down the road! Seeing the Jeepneys operate made me think of the song " Shake, Rattle and Roll ", a prototypical twelve bar blues ... -
I returned to Singapore last week to conduct some training, my first visit since around this same time in 2008. While I did enjoy a number of spicy Singaporean delights, I thought it was time for a change. Particularly since I have been sharing my food adventures for the last two years. My last blog used a music from my past theme, so I thought I would continue sharing classics you may (or may not J ) enjoy from my younger days. So, here’s a classic from Bob Dylan released in named The Times... -
I was back visiting India last week and thought I had done enough blogging about my Indian food adventures...at least for now! So this blog takes a trip down “nostalgia lane” for me (and all of you I hope!). I’ve been searching for a new ring tone for my mobile device. And, being a child, sometimes referred to as a flower child, of the 60’s, my favorite music was from Motown (then headquartered in Detroit, hence the name). Here is a link if you want to investigate further…... -
My last blog was about the Philippine food I tried while I was in Manila. However, I do have another food experience to share from my visit there. Pizza is a much-loved food item around the world, as I found out there. In fact, I found quite a Shakey’s pizza parlor there and used to visit one here in Dallas, but it has morphed into another name. However take a look at the Shakey’s site here… http://shakeys.com/ and you see an example of the world-wide love for pizza. So, I had...
