Salad Bar

The Cat was in the mood. Don’t we’ve seen a salad bar in over two years (because of the thing that cannot be named).

Salad Bar Plate

Due to staff constraints and supply chain issues, the salad bar was not as well-stocked or pristine as days gone by. But, given the circumstances, the salad bar “scratched the itch”. Hee hee.

The Cat ordered the tilapia with creamy shrimp sauce.

Tilapia with Baked Potato

The Mouse added three sides to his salad bar order for an additional three bucks.

Three Sides

Broccoli, two baked potatoes. Most of the sides went home for future meals. Good deal! 🙂

Be safe and well.

Fungus Salad?

The Mouse’s one bowl eats needed a vinegar component.

Cha Siu and Spinach over Rice

The Mouse was preparing wood-ear fungus for The Cat’s soup. After soaking, there was more than needed. The Mouse took some of the fungus, added salt and vinegar, and let is stand for a couple of minutes.

Fungus Salad?

The fungus provided acid and crunch elements. This might be one of The Mouse’s new favorite way to eat fungus. 🙂

Heading off to another doctor’s appointment. Just routine old folk check-up.

Stay safe and well.

New Year, New Try Try

New-ish cafe/bistro in grocery store – Et Al (that’s the name of the eating place, go figure). The main dishes were alright, the appetizers were worth eating again.

Ludovico chicken liver mousse, strawberry
tomato jam, grilled sourdough.

The Mouse really liked the chicken liver. Good substitute for foie gras (The Mouse’s opinion). Definite order again, next time with more toast. Hee hee.

Little gem lettuces, smoked salmon,
pickled red onion, everything spice
breadcrumbs.

The kitchen was kind enough to substitute the caper buttermilk dressing for a lemon vinaigrette. Another order again item.

Hawaiian clam chowder, ulu, smoked meat,
clams, grilled sourdough.

The Cat’s soup. Clams so fresh. The Cat liked.

Stay safe and well.
