Jump to the full entry & travel map Kobe, Kinki, Japan Yes, today there was only one thing happening, eating Kobe beef. As my rail pass expired the day prior, I had to buy the ticket out to Kobe on my own, which was 800 yen round trip and a fairly reasonable price for such a long ride. After waking around Kobe for an hour and a half there are really only two things I can say about the city.

Jump to the full entry & travel map Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Today I took a city tour, which reinforced to me that whilst Sydney has a lot of other stuff going on, there is one stand out attraction and that is the magnificent harbour. We went to a few view points where I got the day shots of the bridge and the Opera House and then went down to Bondi for the rest of the morning

I should be ashamed of myself. I live way closer to Coney Island than I ever have (still not exactly close, but at least on the same line and already in Brooklyn) and last summer I did not go to Coney Island once.

I was annoyed the other night, thinking that even though I was lucky to have had an extra day off from work this week, it had been all used up with medical appointments. Deciding to make them, scheduling them, dealing with insurance company in advance to try to make sure they didn’t weasel out of paying for them, transporting to and from them, waiting to be seen after arrival, waiting for test results… The ocean That evening, as I was telling my husband how annoyed I was, I decided to stop and change course.

Okay, so I didn’t actually have cactus cupcakes–but if you gave me one, I can now safely say I would try it. (New Life Goal: Become judge on Cupcake Wars episode featuring cactus as challenge ingredient.) After a weekend visit to one of my favorite Deland restaurants, de la Vega (formerly known as Penachos) and trying their huarache de nopal I am officially dubbing cactus “the watermelon of the desert.” What exactly is in huarache de nopal? huarache de nopal, starring cactus! “A delicious tender chicken breast baked with poblano, green and red peppers, spread with cream cheese and topped with a red mild sauce.

Salumeria Rosi Parmacotto Last Tuesday night, Giorgio , Carolyn and I went for dinner at Salumeria Rosi after the grand opening of Eataly . Salumeria Rosi is Chef Cesare Casella ’s restaurant. It is located at 283 Amsterdam Avenue on New York’s Upper West Side. Upon arrival, we were promptly given a table outside. It was a bit muggy out, but still a nice night for al fresco dining. We ordered a bottle of 2007 Pinot Noir from the Alto-Adige (Note: this wine was a little too bubbly for our taste. Being from the Alto-Adige, this is a possibility). As the waiter was getting the bottle, which turned out to be a 2008, we perused the menu and made our dining choices. I should mention that the portions Salumeria Rosi are tapas sized, which is perfect to share amongst friends. They are not called tapas here. Instead, they are referred to as “assaggi della cucina”, literally translated as “tastes of the kitchen”. Cesare’s Signature Rosemary Bushes outside Salumeria Rosi When the waiter returned, we ordered our dinner. We started out with Selezione Del Salumerie, which was a selection of salumi that included Prosciutto di Parma, parmacotto, pancetta, finnocchiona, cacciatorino, arista, sweet soppressata and spicy coppa. My two favorites were the finnocchiona and the pancetta. The finnocchiona had a sweet, fennel flavor with a tiny bite. The pancetta was wonderful. The warmth of my mouth melted the fat around the edge of the pancetta. To me, it is one step below lardo (pure pork fat sliced very thin), which is truly pork heaven! Selezione Del Salumerie We moved onto a few of the “assaggi”. We started with the Insalata Pontormo. I always order this salad whenever I dine at Salumeria Rosi. It is one of Chef Casella’s signature dishes. It is a salad of mixed greens with a soft-scrambled egg and pancetta. The pancetta is nice and crispy whereas the egg is soft and warm. The warmth of the egg wilts the greens ever so slightly but also changes the flavor of the greens. It almost brings out the bitterness in the greens, but in a really good way. Insalata Pontormo (salad of soft-scrambled egg, pancetta and market greens) The Matuffi Del Pastore is a rustic polenta dish with a ragu of Italian tomatoes and fresh rosemary sprinkled with Parmigiano-Reggiano. To me, it is a beautiful and simple dish.

Instead of appealing their “B” grade from the DOH and putting up a “Grade Pending” sign, Veselka in the East Village is rolling with the big B in the window, and apparently customers don’t seem to mind. Naturally, the restaurant hopes to ace future inspections, but as one of the managers told the WSJ “When you walk in, you can look around and see if it is clean enough or not clean enough.

A new place that sells lobsters (and soon, other foods) has opened near the site of the former shipyard in Quincy. According to their Facebook page, The Lobster Stop is now open for business on Washington Street (Route 3A), and it will be concentrating on lobsters for now, though they do mention that there will be other types of food available, possibly by the middle of October. The Lobster Stop sells both soft shell and hard shell lobsters, as well as larger lobsters (more than 2.5 pounds).
