A few weeks ago I joined my friend for an alfresco lunch at the Coffee Shop – yes, it’s called exactly that and it is in fact a coffee shop meets after hours bar. Imagine a Denny’s but hip, [...]]]> http://dhaleb.com/food-type/seafood/watermelon-salad-balsamic-sherry-vinaigrette/feed/ 9 http://dhaleb.com/food-type/on-the-side/mediterranean/ http://dhaleb.com/food-type/on-the-side/mediterranean/#comments Thu, 10 Jun 2010 23:24:45 +0000 Dhale @ Culinary Musings http://dhaleb.com/?p=1853 I’m punishing myself…so instead of extending this for 4 glorious recipe posts which would buy me a Get-Out-of-Food-Photography-While-You-Cook card, I am including all the recipes you need to put on a fabulous fete. You’re welcome. The guilt is nagging away at me. Seriously, Dhale?! Only two posts in May?!?!

We have to conquer 2 volcanoes, climb a mountain at 3800m (12,467 ft. for my fellow Americans), survive in the rainforest and dive 20m down into the ocean. So yeah, we’re remotely trying to eat healthy and shape up. Diets schmiets is what I say.

Hate… Crowded sidewalks where people seem to find sheer enjoyment in blocking traffic by standing still, dead smack in the middle. The language barriers like the time I asked the old Chinese man who was tending the produce section if the leafy vegetable in my [...]]]> http://dhaleb.com/food-type/seafood/sesame-crusted-seared-tuna/feed/ 18 http://dhaleb.com/food-type/salad/frisee-aux-lardons/ http://dhaleb.com/food-type/salad/frisee-aux-lardons/#comments Mon, 23 Nov 2009 17:01:30 +0000 Dhale @ Culinary Musings http://dhaleb.com/?p=366 The French are so lovable. Yes, of course I’m a tad bit biased but how can you deny a country that has heavenly desserts, spectacular wines, a thousand varieties of cheese and a salad with bacon and poached eggs? They are just so damn irresistible. The impromptu purchase of a package of frisée was sparked [...]]]> http://dhaleb.com/food-type/salad/frisee-aux-lardons/feed/ 4 http://dhaleb.com/food-type/on-the-side/sesame-cucumber-salad-simply-refreshing/ http://dhaleb.com/food-type/on-the-side/sesame-cucumber-salad-simply-refreshing/#comments Mon, 16 Nov 2009 19:00:35 +0000 Dhale @ Culinary Musings http://dhaleb.com/?p=180 Inspired by our phenomenal dinner at Ippudo NY, I couldn't wait to recreate our experience.
