(Giant) Dinner at Hodde Kro

Monday, August 30th, 2010

We were back home in Varde, Denmark and one day we decided to have one of those traditional meal experience from the good old days – or so my hubby calls it. So we took out his son and the son’s girlfriend out for dinner at Hodde Kro. A ‘kro’ is an old style restaurant serving traditional food where they also usually have rooms for rent (like an inn).

Saturday, August 28th, 2010

During our road trip in Denmark, we had dinner at a small cosy Italian restaurant, Casablanca. It was located by the waterfront in Grenå, right across the Kattegatcentret. It was a nice area, although I must tell you I could be biased because in my opinion, anything near water is nice :D

The Brasserie at Schiphol Airport

Friday, August 20th, 2010

Still related to our short trip to Denmark, we flew back to Indonesia with KLM, so automatically we stopped at Schipol Airport. Since we had a long five hours stopover in Amsterdam, we had plenty of time to walk around and we even took a nap at Yotel located at Lounge 2 near the food court of the Schiphol Airport. By the way, If you’re looking for a place to nap when stuck in transfer at Schiphol Airport, Yotel is the place to go. They have small sized bedrooms that are arranged and decorated in a way that gives you the experience of a first class airline cabin from EUR 65 (for four hours).

Chicken Parmigiana

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

It was one of those days that I couldn’t figure out what to cook. I looked through my fridge to see what I have, and I found some chicken and some leftover parmesan cheese which I can’t remember what I had it for. Automatically my head put those two together and and decided to look up for recipes calling for those two ingredients. For some reason I must have looked up the words ‘chicken parmigiana’ because on the first page of the search result, I found this recipe by Ree Drummond.
