Lovely food finds. Made more special because they were given by special people.
Food life becomes easier with these on stock in your pantry or refrigerator.
Lunch with friends especially male buddies is always fun. Light, easy, full of jokes and hardly any drama. My kind of lunch. Draft at the Fort strip was the venue many moons ago (again). The interiors of the place reminds me of an old English pub moreso its menu which had a number of dishes influenced by neighboring European countries.
Have these with beer, Stella A. or any of their available brews and your entire afternoon is made.
Chef Hans Neukom who is one of the friendliest chefs we know is the Executive Chef of Palms Country Club and concurrently the acting General Manager. He has come up with all sorts of food festivals and activities to entice members and their guests to dine in the club’s 4 main dining areas and patronize the club more.
One of the food festivals we enjoy attending is the Swiss festival because Chef Hans is Swiss and naturally, food offerings will be nothing short of authentic.
Some of our favorites….
Swiss be with you!
This is the post on how happily we used the super griller that was bought and featured previously. See http://thebutcherswifey.com/2011/08/09/finds-at-wofex-2011/
We were overly excited with this amazing purchase that a raclette and grilled steak dinner was had at home a couple of times in a span of 3 days.
Grilling your own meats and melting your own raclette is a healthy, inter-active and fun way to have a family dinner at home. This experience significantly contributes to precious bonding moments. All these on account of a 765 peso “apparatus maximus”. Priceless!
Indulge. Be happy. Have cheese. Explore flavors. Live life.
When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I’m feeling sad, I simply remember (and eat) my favorite things and then I don’t feeeel soooo bad =)
You know how it is to feel comforted by food. Some find chocolates comforting. Some, ice cream. Different strokes for different folks, I’d like to say. As for TBW (The Butcher’s Wifey), it’s CHEESE!!!
Mind you, I’m no cheese expert, don’t belong to any chi chi cheese club nor do I know the acceptable wine cheese pairings. I plain and simply enjoy cheese…especially those with pungent tastes. The more different the flavor is, the more I like it.
I’ve had several amazing cheese finds but the most memorable so far (because maybe I just had it a few days ago) is the Brebirousse d’ Argental, a soft cheese which I get from the Wine Depot in Alabang. It is made from sheep’s milk and is French in origin.
The Stomachman and I wanted a change in scenery and headed for the Wine Depot on the second floor to have wine and cheese and more! Girlfriend, Rz introduced us to a light, refreshing Banrock white Shiraz and we’ve been hooked ever since. For that evening, it was Brebirousse d’ Argental with white Shiraz….Heavenly!
Now…down with those eyebrows pleeaaassseee!!! =)))
