Chicken Dinner

Saturday. Lazy mouse. No caffeine. Ugh.

Late grocery shopping, late take-out.

Sign

Dunno if it’s the colors or brightness but the sign reminds The Mouse of Los Angels 2019. There were no blimps advertising off-world locations, no “C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.” Just BBQ chicken take-out;  RIP Rutger Hauer.

BBQ Chicken Plate, All Rice

Rice went into two bento containers for The Cat this week, one scoop, The Mouse was going to add to The Cat’s soup, but she pulled a late nighter and ate instant noodles in the office. Saved for maybe today.

Chicken was okay. Cooked well, moist and tender, flavor could’ve used a little umph. But, late dinner, The Mouse just scarfed. Lao Ban Ma or Cholula next time.

Enjoy. Eat well.

BBQ/Grilled Chicken Take-Out

No, not the western concept of BBQ chicken, Korean style. Semantics.

Had not had this since leaving the old job. Full order instead of mini. Because The Mouse wanted more veggie sides.

BBQ Chicken Plate

Two scoops of rice (half went to The Cat’s bento), seaweed (partial to The Cat), cucumber kimchi (The Mouse ate), just spicy, not that deep fermented flavor (meh), choi sum (most to The Cat), and simmered potato (all to The Cat), The Mouse finished the chicken. Seasoned just right for The Mouse, salty, but not excessive, still can taste chicken. Hee hee.

Picked up from the local food group/chain, think local version of Panda Express.

The Box

The Mouse thinks the mascot may have been inspired by the mascot of the Olympics when it was held in South Korea?

Off to the farmers market.

Enjoy. Eat well.

For Want of a Can Opener

The Mouse’s lunch included leftovers from the weekend. Frozen okra, choi sum, a stuffed eggplant, and a canned salmon.

The Mouse’s Lunch, What’s Missing?

Nowhere in the warehouse is a can opener for the salmon. Ugh!

Luckily, one of the purchasers was testing in the kitchen and made chicken adobo.

Chicken Adobo

The Mouse “sampled”.

Note to self, pack or donate a can opener. 😉

Enjoy. Eat well.

The Cat’s Try Try

The Mouse had a routine lunch, okra and canned fish, peanut butter sandwich. Nothing exciting.

The Cat, normally would not have ordered the daily special, not enough vegetables for her, but.

Ginger Onion Chicken and Char Siu on Rice

Turns out, The Cat likes. There was enough ginger onion sauce to mix into the rice, tasty, the char siu was a little fatty, which The Cat also likes. Because The Cat is still “dieting”, she brought home a sizable portion for The Mouse to “share the guilt”. Hee hee.

The Cat is thinking of doing it again next week, The Mouse might get another “mousie bag”. 🙂

Enjoy. Eat well.

Chicken (Not Duck) Confit

Special of the day at the downstairs cafe in The Cat’s office building. The Cat wanted to try try.

Chicken Confit with Roasted Root Vegetables

Came with a bowl of vegetable soup.

Vegetable Soup

The Cat brought home a portion for The Mouse to try try.

Cooked well, chicken was moist and tender, vegetables were tasty, I think for The Cat, she was not used to the seasoning, The Mouse thinks paprika.

Good job, Chef.

Enjoy. Eat well.
