The Food Journey: The Wizard of Cornwall Bridge
As an 'appetizer' to the food, facts & figures of my business trip to Colombia - fly down today, conference tomorrow, fly back Tuesday. It's a 2,493 mile journey, about the same distance as my family in Phoenix. It'll be my 113th foreign trip, 3rd to Colombia, 37th to South America, and 67th to Latin America.Like a Ming Dynasty monarch did I eat when I visited the Wiskes two weeks ago, as Paul Wiske dazzled with his kitchen wizardry! Some highlights for your pleasure:
This hearty, piquant thick-noodled meat and dumpling soup was the perfect lunch on a cold, snowy mountain day..
Good food rises from good ingredients...
The main event: sumptuous, tangy, slightly spicy duck, grilled to perfection, served in a circle of savory sauteed shrimp...
Paul's secret weapon - an outdoor grill fired up on the porch, in the arctic air, and smoked with hickory chips...
And here's the master chef in his kitchen:
The duck/shrimp centerpiece was complemented by spicy Chinese vegetables....
and brown rice with minced greens....We finished off the evening with fresh orange wedges...
