Some destinations are places you travel to with a holiday in mind. And then there are destinations you arrive at for work, only to realize that, after flying almost 10,000 kilometers to get there, it would be a shame to see nothing more than a conference room and a hotel. […]
One evening, I was craving Mexican food and decided to make chili con carne. There was just one problem: I didn’t have any beef in the fridge. I did, however, have some chicken breast, so I decided to improvise a little. 🙂 That’s how the first version of this chicken […]
