Chicken Noodle Soup

Pho style, first time back at the neighborhood Vietnamese/Japanese restaurant since The Cat finished quarantine.

The Mouse wanted something lighter than the normal pho meat combination.

Hits the spot.

The Cat had her go-to oxtail soup.

Norman’s Saimin

On the menu at the locally owned Ruby Tuesday.

Norman’s Saimin

From the menu: Soy base, roasted pork, steamed dumpling, choy sum, then topped with green onions.

From the bartender: one of the owner’s friends said that he would never eat in his restaurant because there was no saimin. Owner put Norman’s Saimin on the menu in his honor. Pretty good story yeah?

The Mouse thinks especially during this time (and hopefully throughout the year), it is important to remember and value family and friends. 🙂

The Cat had her normal half-rack of baby back ribs.

Mango Kiawe Sauce, Dirty Rice, Broccoli

During this holiday season (your choice), The Cat and The Mouse wish you joy, faith, and all the good.

Stay safe and well.

Cheap Eats

Half-priced, deal. A couple of minutes in the toaster oven. Mmm. 🙂

The Mouse’s Dinner

The Mouse is liking this dish more than pho right now. Everything served, he doesn’t have to add in his own vegetables. Lazy. Hee hee.

Stay safe and well.
