Avigayil Damm

Today I woke up with a bad flu, so my hubby and I took it easy. After breakfast we just hung out at our villa where I updated my blog. When the time came for lunch, we all went out together to a place nearby, just at the corner of Jln. Kayu Jati called GG (Grocer and Grind).

The restaurant was quite posh, it had an indoor and outdoor dining area. But even the indoor dining area felt a bit outdoor-ish since they opened all of its full size windows which was very nice for a sunny day. We took a place in the corner and ordered our light meal. (more…)

It’s vacation time! We arrived today a little bit delayed; although our airline had previously informed us that the schedule was moved up by 20 minutes, we ended up leaving Jakarta 20 minutes after the original schedule. Talk about irony. (more…)

In a few days time, I will be starting yet another holiday with my hubby. As I want to be able to immediately blog about some of my trips and my culinary adventures, I wanted to take a laptop with me during my trip. (more…)

In the earlier days, my hubby used to take the back road, Kemang Timur into Kemang Timur V (formerly known as Duren Bangka), crossing Mampang Prapatan into Duren Tiga Selatan in order to get to the office. At one point, he just lost patience trying to claim his way in the midst of the arrogant and aggressive motor cycle drivers. Since then, he’d been taking the main road, Warung Buncit, but still turn into Duren Tiga Selatan taking the rest of the old route.

One day, we left a little too late from our home since our security guard was on leave and therefore we had to wait for our housekeeper to come in. (more…)

Tonight’s dinner recipe is taken from Periplus Mini Cookbooks ‘Fast Pasta’ edition. However, the ‘how-to’ bit follows Nigella’s tips in one of her cooking videos. Not only is this fast, but it’s also very yummy. (more…)
