Thanks to the generous invite from friends Bev and Oscar Postma, I experienced a culinary delight for lunch today. Famous Spanish chef Santi Santamaria and a team from of chefs and sommiliers from his 2 and 3 Michelein star restaurants in Spain are doing a gig at the St. Regis here in Singapore this week. The special a...lmuerzo con mucho vino made this gray day very bright. we had the Catalan menu featuring fois gras, pigeon, Costa Brava fish, Ecudella and a fresh fruity dessert. The spanish cava, white and two reds where superb.A double esspresso got me ready to go back to the office after the 2 1/2 hour lunch. Muy Bien y muchos gracias a mi amigos Oscar y Bev!

Is He Back?

I have fallen to Facebook, a new job, a new condo and too many things on my plate. But in light of some of my less rechno friends, family members and just plain blog fans, I will try to resurrect this humble journal.

Here is the last 12 months in a nutshell.

Found out I was leaving my job, decided to stay in Asia, negotiated package, left old job, started to look for new job, enjoyed hiatus, ate, drank, ate some more, had checkup, found I needed to have my colon removed, studied up on the options, had some job interviews, got a part time gig consulting, consulted, had brother for a visit, went to Bangkok, interviewed some more, got job offer (almost didn't), had colon removed, recovered, started work, worked, moved to new condo, went to HK a few times, settling in to work, fashion not food, going on first US biz trip....

Ok, are we all up to date now?

I will try pictures next time!!!!!

Ciao
