Tet Traditions and the Lunar New Year

January 23 by Priscilla 8 Comments

Each year when celebrations for the Lunar New Year begin in Orange County, I’m reminded of the cultural tour I took of Little Saigon with my friend Monique to learn about Tet traditions during the Lunar New Year. We met at the ABC Supermarket shopping center at Bolsaand Brookhurst in what’s known as Little Saigon […]

Le Saotico Scallops with Risotto

Le Saotico – Paris

January 12 by Priscilla 16 Comments

After a whirlwind weekend in New York City, Don jetted off to Paris – on business, really – and I to Arkansas for a visit with my mom. His being in Paris reminded me of Le Sâotico , a charming brasserie, practically next door to his office on the rue de Richelieu, that has to […]

Petrale Sole with Meyer Lemon Sauce

Paris Inspired

November 15 by Priscilla 27 Comments

Indulge me for a bit as I share a few images of Paris, oui? Meandering the narrow streets of Monmartre after ascending the many famous steps to Sacré Coeur, stopping to catch my breath and chuckle at the irony of a satirical poster of DeGaulle as Mickey Mouse, recalling the early  morning street protest that […]

Girl and the Goat

August 30 by Priscilla 19 Comments

Before traveling to Chicago earlier this month, I sent a tweet asking for suggestions on where I should chow while visiting the Windy City. I was happy to receive several responses with suggestions for casual and fine-dining: iconic Chicago restaurants (The Pump Room),  celebrity chef  names (Frontera Grill), wine bar restos (Bin 36) and, of […]

Top 5 for Foodies in Brussels

June 11 by Priscilla 20 Comments

1. The Grand-Place: THE place to be for locals and tourists, and if you have only a day or two in Brussels, this is where you need to start your foodie mission; you can find everything, with the exception of a certain premier chocolatier (see #2), in the streets around the Grand-Place. Brussels’ central square […]

Queen’s Day Soup

May 20 by Priscilla 26 Comments

It was sheer serendipity that we were in Amsterdam for Queen’s Day on April 30th. What a way to kick-off our week-long bike/barge tour of the Netherlands! Queen’s Day commemorates the (former) Queen’s birthday and is the most widely celebrated national holiday and, with a carnival-like atmosphere, the biggest street party  in Amsterdam – much […]

Brussels and Belgian Waffles

May 13 by Priscilla 18 Comments

Famous for its chocolates and beers, Belgium also lays claim to Brussels sprouts and Belgian waffles: this week’s obsession… What distinguishes Belgian waffles from other waffles is its larger size, lighter batter (a result of using yeast batter instead of pancake batter), and higher grid pattern which forms deep pockets: the better to hold silky, […]
