Asia Restaurant in Apeldoorn
A couple of weeks ago we had a team event which ended at a Vietnamese restaurant in Apeldoorn called Asia.
The restaurant is surprisingly big once you go inside. We were a group of about 50 colleagues and it easily accommodated all of us with about half the restaurant to spare.
There is a big grill area where you can select your meat or fish and it is cooked right there in front of you. It is grilled to perfection. I had the chicken skewers, but some of my colleagues had prawns and steaks and they went for seconds and thirds.
A selection of standard Asian dishes was also available. Curries, noodles, rice, stir fried vegetables, banana fritters, fresh fruit, ice cream and more. The best part was the food from the grill, and the service with a smile.
We enjoyed our team dinner and I can happily recommend this restaurant if you happen to find yourself in Apeldoorn and in the mood for Asian cuisine!

Roasted Vegetables Again
I make oven roasted vegetables ALL the time.
It's just easy and delicious and the perfect side dish to any meal.
Sometimes we even eat it as the main course!
Here is a photo of some vegetables seconds before I placed them in the oven.
Yes, it is something of everything in the vegetable department. Carrots, courgette, onion, garlic, potatoes and corn on the cob. I just tossed them all together with a drizzle of vegetable oil, seasoning and into the oven they went.
Funnily enough I forgot to take a photo once they were cooked :-)
I assure you though that we enjoyed eating them!

Steak and Fries
We do not eat red meat often.
In fact, I think we eat red meat once a month...
But I just felt like having a steak and fries dinner, you know?
I made the fries myself, peeling them one by one and cutting matchstick size potato pieces. Well, not quite matchstick but thin enough to my liking.
We do not own a deep fat fryer And I swore we will never get one. So I heated up some vegetable oil in a pan, about 2 cm deep and fried up my lovely little chips.
The steaks went onto the griddle pan and I made my usual green salad.
It seems to me that a meal is not quite complete without a side salad.
Steak, fries and a salad. A very satisfying combination.

Vitamins, vitamins
I've been pretty bad the last few weeks in terms of what I eat...
So out of desperation I decided to contact a woman who gives food advice and through Chinese healing methods works out a personal plan for you. Her website is http://www.persoonlijke-voeding.nl/
It's really quite interesting and I'm going to give her suggestions a try.
The first thing to do is to start taking vitamins, lots of vitamins!

Wish me luck this week - I'm going to need it!

One more Tori Amos photo
Here is a gorgeous photo taken by my friend Tip who joined me at the Tori Amos concert.
Classic Tori with her red hair, in front of a piano.
It really was a special evening.
I also want to wish my father a very happy birthday today :-)

DWZI - Tori Amos!
This week I saw Tori Amos at the Amsterdam Carré.
What a beautiful venue and what a great show.
I was lost in her sweet voice and transported to another world.
Happy weekend everybody :-)
Deze week zag ik... this week I saw
