Boy, I am really gaining weight. It's my husband's fault. He loves cooking and can concoct just about anything. I, on the other, would sometimes try to prepare him pansit, salad or bake a cake. Generally, he is the one who cooks dinner, which is not a good idea because I would end up with so many things to wash(poor me!). But comparing to what he has prepared, it's nothing. My all time favorite is risotto with different sorts of mushroom, followed by pasta and sauce of the moment. This could be pesto, or salmon or just about anything he found in the fridge. His grilled chicken is the best, he would marinate it for about 1/2 hour and cook with potatoes underneath. Not to forget his lasagna con spinaci with bolognese sauce. Curry (vegs or meat) is also in my list, we usually eat it with chapati. He learned to prepare the latter from our friend, Kailash. For a long time, he tried to persuade me to eat polenta, but I just can't. The other day, he cooked it with tuna and lemon and it was wonderful.
I'm a big fan of pizza esp. thin crust. He would prepare the dough at mid-day and in the evening that is ready to be cooked with different flavors--spinach, feta cheese, pepperoni, artichoke, tomatoes, basil, mozzarella, ham, chorizo...Ummm....Guess, I need to stop here. I am getting so hungry, how about you?
Dijon, one of the cities in France, was the destination of our mid-week get away. The city,which is well known for its mustard,is a 3-hour train ride from Genève via Lausanne. As I've mentioned in my previous post ,this was my first time to visit the city. We arrived mid-day to a gloomy surrounding and headed to Quick, sort of Jollibee here. Yet,the real treat was in the old town. Walking on the paved street for me was like being transported to another era. Aside from Musée des Beaux-Arts Dijon, we were able to visit Cathédrale de Saint Bénigne and the Notre Dame de Dijon. However,due to time constraint we were not able to visit other places. Our evening meal was in Le Théâtre des Sens, a small but cozy restaurant and where I've tried escargot. Yes, I did and blame it on the kir! Our dinner was really good,the waiter was very cheery and accomodating. We stayed at the Hotel Des Ducs where we spent the rest of the night watching crime scene investigation. Ah! the joy of havin...
