Random Berlin, Random Cannes

I realized I didn’t have a lot of random shots that I hadn’t already used on my past posts from my recent business trip to Berlin, Germany and Cannes, France. A few here…

Lunching and Breakfasting in Dubrovnik

I went to a very popular restaurant, both amongst locals and tourists so I’ve read, for my second lunch in Dubrovnik, Croatia.  My expectations were really high so I was a bit disappointed by my dish but looking around, I saw what other people were eating and came to the conclusion that I just ordered the wrong dish (though for a restaurant that’s no excuse).

Now this was very very good.

And this is from my last morning in town.  Fun.  Yum.

Home pickled sardine. Very good.

 

 

Beautiful Cloisters of Dubrovnik, Croatia

Cloisters are so lovely.  Here are a few from Dubrovnik.

Steep Steps of Dubrovnik

The walled medieval city of Dubrovnik, Croatia is bowl-shaped with steep steps going up towards the 360 degree wall(s) in all directions but especially towards the Adriatic Sea and Srđ, the mountain on the other side.

On the mountain side of the Old City

An alley that leads to the sea side

Near the sea side wall

Looking up towards the sea side

Once again looking down from the mountain side

And more very steep steps outside of the Old City in the residential district of Ploce where I was staying

 

Sunday Cooking Time ♪

Just when I thought I would never be doing this post again, I am in the mood… From this past Sunday during a three-day weekend.

First things first. This was a really cute bottle. The label on the front is cut out in a heart shape so that you can see through the bottle to read the writing on the back.

Japanese horse mackerel. The package said “for sashimi” meaning good enough to be eaten raw but I asked the shop to slice the fish for grilling.

A soy-sauce based dish with ginger and scallion going into the mix.

Voila.
