The Cat bought over the weekend.
Padovani Chocolates
Matcha green tea (The Mouse’s favorite) and a new creation that The Cat forgot the name of (there was some kind of liqueur in it). Nom!
Enjoy. Eat well.

Weekend Recap
Posted in Chicken, Food, Fruit, tagged Chicken feet, Food, Mango on May 30, 2016| 2 Comments »
Not too much happened.
Picked up a couple of mangoes at the farmers market for The Cat.
Mangoes
The left is from the Philippines (or was it Mexico), the right from Maui. The Cat like the Maui one better.
Used The Martha to braise chicken feet.
Braised Chicken Feet with Dried Mushrooms and Green Onions in Black Bean Garlic Sauce
Lots of naps.
Hope your long weekend went well (if you had one).
Enjoy. Eat well.

Saturday Noms

Not Fried. 🙂
Started off with a package of rolls? from the newly re-opened Korean grocery store (I think they changed owners).
Sign
Not much change from the previous incarnation (both inside and out).
The Rolls
As the shopkeeper tried to explain to me, the rolls are made out of regular wheat flour and mochi rice flour. These are the bomb! Socks off. Crunchy on the outside, super chewy on the inside. Slightly sweet salty, with the sesame seed “essence” going on. Going back for more.
Lunch was kinda “consolation prize”. Took a chance and headed up to Breadbox Hawaii to see if there were any natto puff pastry left. Sold out. 😦
Second choice, mandoo plate. I know, it’s a stretch.
Mandoo Plate Lunch
This take-out included a small amount of banchan (a good thing), some places don’t included their banchan with take-out. Understandable but still welcomed if included.
And The Cat got a bunch of gardenias out of the trek.
Gardenias
Dinner was kinda cheap eats. Wanted to try this place for a while (especially on a Saturday). Better than average rating (4+). But Saturday are BOGO!
Signs
Hee hee! Pake.
Spring Roll
Tofu and Vegetable Phở
Eye Round Steak and Tendon Phở
Soup was tasty but light (a good thing), wasn’t too thirsty afterwards (like some other places). Decent. 🙂
Heading off to the farmers market.
Enjoy. Eat well.

A Clara Peller Kinda Day
Posted in Food, Lunch, Vegetarian, tagged Food, lunch on May 28, 2016| Leave a Comment »
The Mouse went looking for some kinda homeopathic therapy at the health food store yesterday.
Sign
While there, decided to pick-up lunch.
Brown Rice with Tofu Curry, Okinawan Sweet Potato, Quinoa Curry Salad, Luau Spinach, Etc.
All vegetarian/vegan, no meat to be found. Kinda got hungry after a couple of hours.
The Cat had an unplanned (not totally unexpected) “drop everything and go” situation to attend to. Lunch was a “grab the nearest” thing kind of deal.
The Cat’s “Patient” Lunch
Grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup. The Cat calls the combo “patient” meal, that’s what she wants when she’s under the weather (she wasn’t a “patient” yesterday, just needed something to “grab ‘n’ go”.
See, a Clara Peller kinda day.
How’s your weekend coming along?
Enjoy. Eat well.
