As we are entering the heart of fall and as schools have already started a month ago, so did colds and viruses. My son had two consecutive bad colds, the last of which left him with a bronchitis that has to be treated with antibiotics. Seems that the whole universe has conspired, so as for...

Polynesian Pork Roast
School has started here and along with this, my everyday suffering as well. Is it my imagination or the boys are –how can I put it in a more gentile manner- more abstract minded than girls? I mean, my son, although he has a brain that works really well, he goofs around and refuses to...

T.G.I. Friday’s Dijon Chicken Pasta
That was supposed to be a short break! Honestly, I had no intention of being away for such a long time. But life sometimes seems to really have other plans for us. This was a very hectic summer for me. First, of all my mom had a knee surgery and I had to look after...

Chicken Kecap Manis
A few days ago, I paid my regular visit to the book store to see the new circulations of literature books and cook books. As I was browsing the books in the cooking sector, my eye caught a very familiar word ‘Balthazar’. I am sure you all know Balthazar. For my friends from different religions,...

Smoked Salmon Pasta
Today I am going to tell you a little bit about my husband and I will explain also why. I met my husband about 10 years ago in a very difficult period of mine. From the first moment he stood right next to me and helped me overcome the difficulties I was facing. When we...
