I love eating in hotel restaurants in Bangkok because you can get such an amazing variety of food in a buffet for so little money... there are people in Bangkok selling hotel cards that give discounts at the major hotels like Intercon, Crowne Plaza, Sheraton, Holiday Inn, Centara, Four Seasons, etc. The usual benefit of this card is 50% off for two people when you eat in a hotel restaurant...no limit in one year. Also, some free "buffet for two" coupons, free spa visit coupons, free buffet for two in some Phuket or Pattaya properties, and the like. Also, some coupons for "6 people eat and pay for 3" or "12 people eat and pay for 6" discount coupons. You pay typically $130-$150 for this card that lasts one year. I have one card that covers Sheraton, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn and Renaissance hotels in Thailand and even in Manila and Kuala Lumpur. You go to one of these breakfast/lunch/dinner buffets, eat lobster, caviar, sushi, foie gras, oysters from France, etc and pay only half...typically about US $20-$30 for two people. Cheaper than eating at the Olive Garden I think ! You can get the 50% discount all year - no limit.
For breakfast, my fav is the Peninsula because at sunrise, you have a sunrise view of the rest of Bangkok from the Thonburi side of the river. I get up at 6AM and go down to their "lobby" office that is on the Bangkok side of the river (next to the Shangri La hotel) and take the free shuttle boat across the river to the main hotel. Great breakfast...I especially love the smoked salmon and croissants with brie and other cheeses (besides the usual suspects like ham etc). My only criticism is the coffee...they keep re-filling your cup and after the 3rd refill it looks pretty grungy.
Buffet for dad's 80th birthday celebration yesterday. Took Friday off work to help sis prepare. I think we did OK !!!!
Bernard Buffet
Rétrospective
Du 14 octobre 2016 au 26 février 2017
Le Musée d’Art moderne de la Ville de Paris organise une rétrospective de l’œuvre de Bernard Buffet (1928 - 1999), considéré comme l’un des peintres français les plus célèbres du XXème siècle, mais également l’un des plus discutés. À travers une sélection d’une centaine de peintures, l’exposition propose une relecture d’une œuvre qui a été en réalité très peu vue.
Le parcours, organisé selon une présentation chronologique, s’ouvrira sur les débuts de Bernard Buffet, au moment où ses œuvres renouvellent le sens de tout un répertoire de formes et d’objets. Le contexte artistique de l’après-guerre, moment de débats autour de la question des réalismes, de la figuration et de l'abstraction, sera évoqué. Il s’agira de révéler le peintre comme un artiste paradoxal, qui se réfère à la peinture d’histoire à une époque de la disparition du sujet, qui allie peinture austère et aisance financière, grand succès public et rejet du monde de l’art.
February 7.
Yesterday was my grandmother's memorial service. My dad (a preacher) gave a beautiful remembrance of her life and told some stories about her that I had never heard. How he did that without losing his cool was something I don't quite understand. He said later that he stuck to his notes and just kept going.
I got to see dozens of folks I hadn't seen in several years. People who looked after me in the church nursery and taught me in Sunday School. Many came from destinations way out of town in order to be there. And some had never even met my grandmother before -- they just wanted to be present in order to support my family. I find this incredibly touching.
Here's the post-memorial service buffet... before the macaroni and cheese were added to the spread.
What better way to start the day whilst waiting for the train at 07:30am; head for the station buffet and down a few vodkas with your coffee and cake! Ivano Frankivsk station on 23rd April 2017.

Third Annual Wine and Cheese Party for neighbors. This year we started at 7PM and the last guest left at quarter to I:00AM = we all had fun. This began as a tradition 3 years ago to bring neighbors together to have a chance to chat and catch up on news. Fun and simple concept - everyone brings cheese of their choice and a bottle of wine to compliment the flavor. Any extra cookies from Christmas as well. No one has to cook and we all have fun. Aloha from Hawaii Cheers and Happy New Year to you ALL!
Seattle, WA. Celebrating the arrival of the first direct CDG/SEA flight - That alone justified the trip to the airport! Catering was amazing. I was so stuffed.

I bought a bag of toffee coated almonds during my last visit eleven years ago. I was glad to see it's still there!
