Early-ish dinner, Kin Wah Chop Suey, just ahead of large Mother’s Day crowd.
Along with the usual omelet with green onion. No choi summ, enough vegetables on other dishes.
Mmm.
Be safe, eat well.

The Cat went walking at the marsh. The Mouse originally planned to pick up breakfast at MikeyD’s but switched to L & R Drive Inn, support local.
So The Cat can pack a portion for her bento today.
Notice the SPAM is nicely fried and slightly charred. 🙂 Two slices of SPAM leftover from both plates for The Mouse lunch this week. 🙂
After a bit of cleaning, The Cat went to hibernate.
The Mouse dug around the pantry, some somen noodles, leftover spicy eggplant, one leaf of Napa cabbage, and of course green onions.
Be safe, eat well.

Late lunch and dinner, L & R Drive Inn, neighborhood take-out, a favorite of The Mouse. 🙂
Second favorite. Vegetarian chili and rice from Zippy’s still the best, but, L & R is larger quantity and a little cheaper. Plus, closer.
The Mouse likes chili on bottom, rice on top, so flipped container into bowl.
Cut green onions for garnish. Mmm. 🙂

The Cat wanted to walk the flood control marsh again. The Mouse walked part way and turned around.
The Mouse was looking for avocado toast for The Cat. Try Try.
Sourdough, avocado spread, diced tomato, poached egg, corn salsa, Cotija cheese.
With cucumber, tomato, and sprouts.
All good, the avocado spread could have been a bit thicker. 🙂

The “deluxe” part was The Mouse’s doing.
To a container of S & S saimin, which contained noodles, green onions, one small slice of luncheon meat (dunno if it was SPAM, and one slice of kamaboko fishcake, The Mouse added turnip strips, freeze-dried tofu, SPAM strips, minced ginger, and more green onions. The Mouse didn’t have kamaboko in the refridge. Sigh. No worry, still yummy. 🙂

Red and gold. Hee hee. The Mouse made a sandwich.
The tomato paste sticks to the bread better than ketchup. 🙂
Keeping it simple.
Bonus, The Cat ate dim sum for lunch, The Mouse got a box of egg tarts.
The egg tarts were custardy and flaky, not overly sweet. Mmm.

The Mouse had a weird thought, use tomato paste as ketchup replacement. The Mouse can never use the whole bottle of ketchup without it expiring. A tin of tomato paste is smaller.
Plus tomato paste has less ingredients, no high fructose corn syrup. Seems healthier.
First test was mixed into orzo pasta bowl.
The bowl on the left is The Cat’s beginnings of her dinner. Rice, nori, sardines with oil. The Mouse’s lunch bowl contained orzo pasta, tomato paste, frozen vegetables, and sardines. Mmm. 🙂
For dinner, The Mouse made a pita “sandwich”.
Kewpie mayo, tomato paste, fried fishcake, vegetable croquette, sesame leaf ribbons. The fishcake and vegetable croquette were remains from The Cat’s bento.
Cheap eats from Times Supermarket. Rice, nori, burdock root, pickled ginger, fried fish. Ingredients contributed to three eats, The Cat’s bento, The Cat’s dinner bowl, and The Mouse’s pita sandwich. 🙂
The experiment works, will be using tomato paste instead of ketchup. 🙂

Early-ish dinner at Kin Wah Chop Suey. Reasonably priced, good portion, and we are considered “regulars”, although there are a lot of “regulars”, hee hee.
The Cat and The Mouse’s usual order is choi summ, oyster sauce on the side, plain egg omelet with green onions, and rice. An additional something is usually added (pork, fish, or sometimes chicken).
Yesterday, add-on was fish.
Enough food for dinner, fish for two bento, eggs and rice for at least two bowls, and choi summ for several more servings. 🙂

At 7-Eleven. Buy two regular SPAM musubi, get one free. The Mouse original plan was to buy one, but … Hee hee.
The Mouse ate one on Wednesday (the first day), one yesterday, and will eat last one today. 🙂
Wednesday’s dinner kept the theme of hand-held food.

The Mouse bought butter. First time in a while.
The grocery store didn’t stock Kerrygold brand. Try try this band.
For lunch, The Mouse made a bowl.
No-recipe, orzo pasta, canned salmon, frozen vegetables, green onions, salt and pepper to taste, no oil. Mmm. The Mouse thought about adding butter, but nah, bowl didn’t need it with the salmon. 🙂

Chile Relleno. The Cat brought flowers to see her mother at Valley of the Temples. A rare visit to Chile Relleno since they close on Sundays.
Shredded pork, grilled to crispy.
Pork simmered in mild verde tomatillo sauce. “Stew-y” Mmm. The Mouse liked his dish more than The Cat’s. Both are good, but, if he had to choose …

Lunch and two additional bento.
A few leftover for the Cat’s noodles tonight.

Here in SPAM Land, the bread is called “okole” bread, supposed to have two “cheeks”. Hee hee. The Mouse, based on browsing through the internet, came to the conclusion, known as cottage bread outside of SPAM Land.
The Mouse used the two ends, toasted and buttered.
The Mouse is thinking a sandwich for lunch today. 🙂

A no-recipe. The Mouse picked eggplant at the grocery store.
The Mouse planned to braise the eggplant, Japanese style, but turned out softer than expected. The Mouse made a mash instead.

The Mouse’s “Frankenbowl” after The Mouse assembled The Cat’s bento.
First a breakfast plate, fried rice, hamburger patty, scrambled eggs. The Mouse put the fried rice and scrambled eggs into the bento. The Mouse took the burger patty and added a biscuit.
Next time, The Mouse will get a package of gravy to pour over. 🙂
The plan was for The Mouse to pick up kiwi fruit from Costco for The Cat’s fruit bowl. But lately, the kiwi fruit from Costco has been weird. Hard to ripen and large white core, not sweet.
The Mouse bought two packages from the grocery store instead.
Hopefully the kiwi fruit is better, from Italy.

Toasted in the toaster oven. Crunchy, no salt, no added oil. Fills the snack need. 🙂
Both from nearby grocery stores, Foodland and Times. Slightly cheaper than Chinese take-out or Chinatown. Both are good but the char siu from Foodland is outstanding, especially the slightly burnt tips. 🙂

An experiment. The Mouse wanted something for snack. Chips and corn chips too much oil and salt. The Mouse will toast the tortilla plain. See if this plan will satisfy savory snack.
The Mouse has been looking for a while for non-dairy creamer. The regular powder not too healthy. This Laird brand is made from coconut. Supposed to be healthier. Try try. Sale priced. 🙂

Opened up a tin of SPAM. 🙂 Pan crusted on flatbread.
Butter and Kewpie mayo. Simple comfort food. The Mouse used the lite can, less fat, less salt, less calories. No difference in taste if frying. The Mouse used no additional oil to fry the SPAM slices. 🙂
The pantry needed a rotating out of a tin of salmon, so dinner was chosen. 🙂

During tax season, lots of Sunday eats are at Kin Wah Chop Suey. Close location, reasonably priced, good quantity, good taste.
No different last Sunday.
Pot roast spareribs, choy sum (plain, no oyster sauce), plain omelet with green onions. Enough leftovers for several more eats.
The Cat brought home egg custard tarts from Saturday lunch, Honolulu Seafood Restaurant, new-ish opening, sister restaurant to Kapiolani Seafood Restaurant.
