Dinners at Restaurants Weekend

So. Here another blog post. Like I've said before, ordinary life has kicked in. In my case, that means being on the job from 08:00 - 19:00. Or until 21:00. Anyway, too short a time left for my spare time to also actively foodblog.

So, when I would have had more time, I could have told you about our visit with L&L to local japanese restaurant Fujiyama, to celebrate I got my first salary (which has already been entirely spent *sob*). Even though I did take my photo camera there, I felt somewhat embarrased to start taking pictures, seated in plain sight around the teppanyaki hot plates. I didn't take any. So, I can just say that it was a very nice dinner, with a lot of food and a lot of juggling from the show-off teppanyaki chef.

The next day, we went to Bistro Taste! in Makkinga, in the province of Friesland (a province situated next to the province of Groningen), a gift from S&O for my graduation. I could have told you about that, if it weren't for the lack of lighting in the restaurant which made for very blurry pictures (I didn't want to draw unwanted attention by using a flash).

Now, something I did manage to take pictures of the canapes I made for N's birthday, which she celebrated today (even though it's still four days until her birthday) at . So, here it is:


From back to front:

1. Meatballs, with a mayo/mustard dressing and pickled gherkins
   
2. Deviled eggs
3. Canapes with sweet pepper cream cheese
4. Rolled anchovies with pickled gherkins and pickled capers

After the party, we went to eat again at 't Koetshuys across the street, but again, due to lack of decent lighting and my unwillingness to use a flash, I got very blurry pictures not worthy of publishing.

So, I guess there's nothing else left for me than to just eat at daylight at restaurants, in order to take some decent pictures.
