Lufthansa Business Class Food

Food we had on our flights from Pristina to Frankfurt and then from Frankfurt to Amsterdam last December. We were able to get business tickets because of so many United miles.

Leaving Pristina

Photos of snow covered Kosovo as we left for Amsterdam last December.

Dinner For Two In Amsterdam

We were out alone in Amsterdam for dinner, just looking around, and stumbled on this pizza joint near the Rejksmuseum. The food was good, if overpriced. Service was not the best. Plus, what is it with mustard on carpaccio? Really?

Amsterdam Ferry Ride

We went out the day after Christmas, to do something that is a bit of a Dutch tradition. We rode a pancake boat. But first, we had to get there by ferry. Here are some photos from the ferry. Yes, it was a dismal day, but we still had fun.

Perfect Cranberry Bread

It's not every day that I make a perfectly baked loaf, but I did for Christmas day. Go me!

Carpaccio And Butter

Not sure why they served butter with the carpaccio; I skipped it. The rest was very good.

Hotel Restaurant - Grissini

While in Cologne, we stayed at the Hyatt Regency. I had a lot of points, so we used them for reduced rates and for access to the executive lounge. One of the very rainy days we decided to eat at one of the hotel restaurants, Grissini. The restaurant was a true disappointment. The meat and cheese tray looked nothing like its photo, and the rest of the food was bland, overcooked, and our dishes tasted the same.  Even with completely different meats, our sauces were the same. That's lame.

Fish In Cologne

We went to the Cologne zoo and aquarium when we were there in December. They had red pandas! They also had a lot of fish.

Dinner At Fiorentina

This was a rare Friday dinner alone for the two of us. We ate and it was very good, and we went to the airport the next day to go to Amsterdam.

Peja Walking Street

Walking around Peja after lunch. Peja's got a lot to look at, including the mountains.

Historical Plaque

After we ate at Kulla, I found this plaque on the side of the restaurant. It explains the history of the building.

Our Haul

These are the wines we bought at Stobi. All of them for about fifty euros.

Medallions

The medallions are similar to the ones found in the Roman city ruins not far from the winery. Evidently the area as also known for wine back then too.

Blue Storage

Stobi's wine "cave" is bathed in blue light. I have no idea why.

Stobi Wine Production

CLO took a trip to Stobi winery last July. Here is our tour of the manufacturing process. I find it not as well run as in Moldova.
