THE BEST TUNA SANDWICH

TUNA SANDWICH
LUNCH AT HOME

Readers of my blog know I love my Tuna Fish Sandwiches.  To me my recipe is the best in the world.
Absolutely love my Tuna Sandwich with American Cheese, Avocado and Tomato.  A little Lettuce is good too.  I make a big batch and eat this for a week!

AIR FRYER BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS

AIR FRYER BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS
DINNER AT HOME

We received an Air Fryer for Christmas.  While I have seen these devices advertised it never dawned on me to go out and buy one.  Put it to the test with some Chicken Wings and they came out great.
Used only a teaspoon of oil and the Wings came out crispy on the outside.  I seasoned the Wings with Lemon Pepper and Cajun Seasonings before putting them in the Fryer for 25 minutes.  Removed from fryer and tossed in a mixture of Franks Hot Sauce and Butter that I had simmered on the stove.
Next I made French Fries and they came out crispy and cooked to perfection too!  I am sold on our Air Fryer and can recommend them now.

Yet another visit to CPK.  My Wife and Daughter love this place.  While always good I would have preferred to try a new place.  Gotta keep my girls happy so I joined them for lunch and ordered the same old thing; BBQ Chicken Pizza.  I love this pizza but it seems it has gotten smaller and they put less chicken on the pizza.  Pizza was good but they only put cilantro on one side.  My Wife enjoyed the Chicken Picatta and my Daughter had the Spaghetti Bolognese for the millionth time.

Another great bowl of Pho for lunch at my office.  Ha Long Pho is my favorite Pho right now.  They are generous with the meats and the broth has great flavor.  I order the Rare Steak and Brisket.

BREAKFAST AT HOME

My Daughter was home for the holidays so I made here a delicious breakfast using some Ribeye Steak that was leftover from dinner.  Absolutely love it when I have time on weekends to make breakfast for my Daughter.  Really love cooking for her and treating her like a princess.

SATS CHECK-IN AND LOUNGE - SINGAPORE AIRPORT

SATS CHECK-IN AND LOUNGE
SINGAPORE AIRPORT

We were flying from Singapore to Manila on Philippine Airlines.  We arrived at the Philippine Airline counter in Singapore but could not find a Business Class check-in line.  The Coach line was super long so I walked around to the front of one of the counters.  I saw a small sign that said Business Class Passengers proceed to SATS for check-in.  We had never seen anything like this at a check-in counter and had no idea what SATS was.  I asked one of the workers where the SATS lounge was and he told me to go down several isles and look for it on the right.  We walked through the airport thinking something was wrong.  Then we saw a sign that said SATS Check-In.  Entered to find a lounge type area with a counter.  This is where we check in.  Wow...they asked us to have a seat and took our passports.  There were drinks in a cooler for us too.  The clerk checked us in, issued boarding passes and took our bags in the lounge.  This was absolutely the best check-in of my life.
We then went through a corridor where security checked our boarding passes then were escorted to customs without having any lines or crowds.  Amazing!!!!  If only all air travel could be like this.  We were given a ticket at the counter that allowed us access to the SATS lounge near our gate.  The lounge was large and had tv's, showers, full buffet, snacks and a bar.  They even had free massage chairs.  Nice place to hang out while waiting for your flight.  We were delayed and just had to spend more time in this great lounge enjoying breakfast, noodles and other snacks.

BATU CAVES - GOMBAK, SELANGOR - MALAYSIA

 BATU CAVES - GOMBAK
SELANGOR, MALAYSIA

So unexpected to visit the Batu Caves in Malaysia.  Had never heard of this place and had no idea it was on our schedule with a local guide.  We made it to the top and entered the cave which is a religious site.  Pretty cool.
