I own a couple of very small restaurants. This blog is intended to share some anecdotes from the journey so far and some hilarious experiences I have had. This is also a story from the "other side". A customer can review us from the outside on various forums. Some of the views are balanced and some not. Some have had genuine bad experiences and some, made up. But a restaurant management side rarely gets a chance to tell their side of the story. This is a let out for such feelings and thoughts too. I shall also try to share some recipes here. These would be practical recipes that one can make in a jiffy or at least on a short notice. So heres wishing me all the best in this endeavour. F-ftOS.

i love sushi. i LOVE sushi.
but i eat loads of curry. brinjal mostly, as thats the only thing we seem to be able to cook! we make saag sometimes too. and always chapatis. my boyfriend's parents make great daal, and great barbecue...but they are MEAT eaters and gnaw on bones and suck out marrow, when i can just about handle achicked drumstick an i'm done.
I'm not very fond of curry... But I've only had it once or twice, so it could have been a bad batch...
Hmmm... It's hard to think of my favorites... I can only think of a few specific examples... like the salmon I caught last summer in Alaska-- soooooo tasty!
If I had to pick a cuisine, I'd go with Japanese... sushi, teriyaki, sukiyaki... And apparently it's very healthy.
Potatoes. Chips [fries]. Mashed. Boiled. Choka. Potatoes potatoes potatoes. Maybe 'cause it was banned from the country at one time.
Curry.
Chinese food [veggies].
Jasmine rice.
Basmati rice.
Fish grilled, curry, stew.
FOOD. I LOVE FOOD.
for me I'd have to say....
Crab ...love it more than most foods
scallops
shrimp
lobster
all types of fish
now it gets weird....peanut butter and bologna sandwiches, been eating them forever.
Collard Greens (im from the south)
Potatoes
Applesauce...(eat it with everything)
Icy, how do you do collard greens?
I luuuuuurve the accent of down south. Ah jis' luuuuve it.
Anoop, I am from Portugal... traditional Portuguese cuisine with all it's diversity, from the simple yet delicious to the heavenly artistic is, from my point of view and with perhaps a slight bias, the best that can reach ones taste buds. This sad, I would have to say all the traditional “conventual” desserts (created by nuns and monks trough the centuries) plus: Caldeirada à Moda de Peniche (stew with several kinds of fish), Lampreia à Ovar (hagfish), Carne do Alguidar com Migas (pork based meal), Entrecosto com Arroz de Feijão, Choquinhos com Tinta, etc…
I love food. PERIOD. Being a vegeterian, my choice gets rather limited but that does not stop me from enjoying the various cuisines.
Indian, continental, Chinese, Mexican.... YUMMY.
I love potatoes, anyway, anytime, anywhere.
Yeah, potatoes are great.
And my grandma makes this stew with beef, potatoes, carrots, and corn... Mmm... I could eat that every day.
GG, collard greens are fairly easy to prepare. When I was young we grew them in our garden, or picked them from a local field.
You simply boil a pot of water, add in some seasoning, I prefer meat tendorizer and pepper. A ham-hock or some strips of 'jowl bacon. ( I like red onions and green peppers in mine also)
then throw in your greens. I let mine cook for about an hour and 15 min. Some like there's mushy, I DON'T! Once the greens are cooked to your specs. I then boil a few eggs and cut up some fresh tomato. It makes for a great meal all by itself or with the meat of your choice. I'm not much of a meat eater though
Of course your greens need to be cleaned first and the stems cut off. Down here, most folks mix there with Kale or Mustard greens. The really lazy folks simply go to the store and buy them in a can. I prefer the old way and the wonderful smells that come with preparing them fresh.
i love italian. it makes me want to LIVE!!!!
Hi Icy, thank you...I've always read about collard greens...and always wanted to try it.
I now know it has meat, and I'm vegan...only fish. Hmmm...I wonder how it would go with fish seasoning instead. Or just veggie style. I'll google it.
Hey, Annush is back!
Thanks Icy I have a free recipe now. I should perhaps post it as a blog entry.
GG, do you know the Bengalis (people from a state in Eastern India)treat fish as veg.
wb Annush.
Really Anoop, they treat fish as a veg?
What plant do they grow on, the Bengali fish?
I will let you know once I have figured that out... amazing people. But they are also literary giants. I mean, Bengal has the richest history of arts and literature in India, possibly in the world too.
