Bacon (or reasonable substitutes) Day

According to the internet, yesterday was National Bacon Day, not to be confused with International Bacon Day (September 2nd).

I usually don’t follow these things, but it’s bacon!

Breakfast, from Zippy’s

Mini Breakfast

Brown rice, one scrambled egg, two bacon (crispy). Nothing fancy, just something to kick start the day.

Wanted to try a place off Ward Avenue, for their lilikoi BLT, on the edge of Kakaka‘ako but there was a line out the door, and no place to park.

Ended up at the mall at La Palme Dʻor for one of their croissant sandwiches. They were sold out of BLT, so got a prosciutto sandwich as a substitute.

Prosciutto, sun dried tomato, argula

Whole wheat croissant.

And to wash it down

Iced Matcha Almond Mild Latte

Dinner with The Cat and The Mouseʻs massage therapist. No bacon planned, but …

Roasted Pork Belly instead

Close enough right?

The rest of the meal.

Fried Tofu and Choi Sum

 

Chicken Dumplings

 

Steamed Fish Filet

 

Stuffed Eggplant

 

Char Siu Chow Funn

Itʻs New Yearʻs Eve here at SPAM Land, must be already New Yearʻs where ever you are, unless youʻre in SPAM Land, so Happy New Year everyone! Wishing you peace and all the best.

Enjoy. Eat well.

Just Pics

Not much happening between holidays. Just regular stuff.

Breakfast

Snowball cookies (from one of The Cat’s clients) and dried plums. The Cat wasn’t too fond of the cookies, too “spicy” (cinnamon and nutmeg) for her.

Lunch

Cold cut sandwich on pumpkin bread (from Brug Bakery), raw celery (olive oil and salt), raw sliced turnip (shoyu).

Dinner

Sautéed turnip, turnip greens, and celery with shoyu.

The Cat’s Bowl

Chicken feet soup noodle with turnip and greens.

This batch was pretty epic. Two packages of chicken feet (I usually use one). The soup gelled so solid, I’m thinking of writing to Jell-O with suggestion of a new flavor (chicken feet) with feet. Do you think it would sell? Hee hee!

Enjoy. Eat well.
