Grocery Store Picks

Just a few odds and ends.

First, The Mouse found Japanese ume candy.

Packaging

No, The Mouse can’t read Japanese, the picture of ume kinda said it all. Hee hee.

Candy

Definite ume taste, not super sour/tart. The Mouse likes. Now jonesing for onigiri. Hee hee.

Sunday dinner, discounted bento.

Bento!

Under $3.00! The Mouse took the inari, shared the gobo, fish, and gyoza. The Cat got the shrimp, ginger, part of the gobo, and fish in her noodle soup.

Tendon Pho

The Cat was in the mood for pho. Neighborhood Vietnamese noodle house had beef and tendon pho on the menu. The Mouse asked if they could do only tendon. They could.

The Cat’s Pho ingredients

Soup and garnish separate. Noodles didn’t get soggy, garnish didn’t wilt. Good job.

The Mouse not so much a pho fan. Opted for the vermicelli with spring roll and grilled chicken.

The Mouse’s Mess

Oh, sneak peek of near future post.

Box

Stay safe and well.

Mountain of Food

Looks like Panda Express was extremely generous with the food yesterday.

Lots of Food!

Super greens, string bean chicken breast, teri chicken.

The Mouse “upgraded” his food with bao buns.

Bao Bun

Enhanced with a shiso leaf and a pat of Lao Gan Ma. Mmm.

The Cat had her soup noodle bowl.

Noods!

Topped with scoop of Panda Express.

There was even enough food for The Mouse’s bento today. Yay!

And …

The shiso is thriving!

Shiso

One of The Mouse’s favorite herb. 🙂

Stay safe and well.

Korean Grocery Store Shopping

A quick run into the Korean grocery store, just to look. Hee hee.

The Mouse came out with two items.

Potato Starch Noodles

Chewy texture. Since The Cat liked the other package of noodles because of its chewi-ness, The Mouse thought she might like this. Update in future.

SPAM Kimbap

The Mouse couldn’t resist. Korean sushi and SPAM. Mmm!

Stay safe and well.

Kimchi Noodles

Picked up a package from the warehouse.

Package

Sometimes when packages expire or slightly damaged, warehouse lets the employees take. Still usable, just not sellable. The Mouse took one, no waste. Hee hee.

The Cat’s bowl of noodles.

Bowl of Noods

The Mouse added the celery, bamboo shoot, wakame seaweed.

The package has a packet of kimchi in it. Didn’t use it yet.

The Cat liked the noodle texture, slightly chewy.

Stay safe and well.
