Travel With Me Abroad

Hello to all.  I’m very excited for the opportunity to share my upcoming adventures through Themetrip.  In the next couple of months my husband and I will be starting a new chapter in our lives with our big move to Brussels, Belgium. 
A little about the upcoming blog and myself: 
I love food! While eating breakfast I’m already talking about dinner. I will be posting notes and pictures of where we dine, what we eat and sometimes what I cook.  
I love adventures! With my husband being in the Navy, we have had and have the ability to visit and experience places all over the world.  I will post about our travels and experiences while living in Belgium.

Our First Meal in Brussels

We walked, and walked all around.   We were so tired, but wanted to see a little bit of the area.  We passed many delicious looking restaurants.  We settled on a laid back restaurant called, Dukes.  I don’t think we would have enjoyed a sit down fancy dinner.  We got to Dukes around 8pm.   There were a few people in the restaurant, but nobody had food, only drinks.  We ordered a cheese and meat plate to start with, by the time we ordered dinner, people around us were still drinking, but had no food.
  Our order: La frisee auz lardons- frisee, lardons, aeuf poche (salad with tomatoes, bacon, cucumber, a poached egg, and some kind of mayonnaise dressing.)  This salad was delicious!
 
We also ordered, moules et frites (mussels and fries) These were the best mussels I have ever had! The mussels were cooked in a light broth with onions and celery.  The fries were standard fries.  Dukes served them with a mayonnaise sauce that had a hint of mustard.  Meh…
  In the middle of eating our dinner, people around us, had started ordering food and having food come out to their table.  We have noticed, European’s tend to eat around 8:30pm at night, no matter what day of the week it is.

    About Nakoma

    I have always had a passion for Art.  After attending five colleges (Navy families move…a lot) I earned my BA in Art History.  I’m thinking our first few tours will be art, art, art and then food, food, food.  I will post information about the tours we do.  

    Please note, that my blog posts will not be consistent.  We have a very busy, and fun schedule ahead of us, that might limit my time to post. 


    For those who plan to follow, enjoy!

    Cheers!
