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... -
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 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…... -
Conducted a training “roadshow” last week in Denver. I thought I had traveled northbound until I had dinner at the Yardhouse in the downtown plaza. I took a look at the menu, which can be found at the site here... http://www.yardhouse.com/menus/house-favorites.aspx . I had a vision of a buffalo steak or buffalo burger, but was surprised by the spicy jambalaya offering. I had to try it, since it seemed out of place. I was not disappointed…two large juicy charbroiled shrimp atop... -
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 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... -
I’ve been in China for almost two weeks, enjoying one of my favorite cuisines again. One treat I decided to try is pig ear. I figure if Guy Fieri of the Food Network ( http://www.foodnetwork.com/guy-fieri/index.html ) will try to eat it, I will be just as adventurous! But, poor pig ears, their plight is to be hidden away on a buffet table and hard to find. But they always seem to be offered on the buffet or menu! A similar plight faces inter-domain associations in Frameworx, such as those between...
