The Cat has a school mate visiting. The Cat is taking her around SPAM Land, The Mouse is the designated driver. Breakfast in the central part of SPAM Land. Guieb Cafe, Wahiawa.
Whenever there is soup on the menu, The Cat will probably order.
A little purple to liven up the day. 😉
The Cat’s friend ordered crab cake benedicts, no picture, The Mouse didn’t want to be that “nosy”. Hee hee.
Stay safe and well.

A pound of ground beef, locally sourced.
Basic ingredients:
Roughly shaped into balls, browned meatballs, removed meatballs and drained excess oil. Returned meatballs to pot, added onion soup mix, canned mushrooms (drained and rinsed), no salt (The Mouse figured enough salt in the soup mix), rice wine, a drop or two of coconut vinegar. Simmered for half an hour.
Cooled the pot in ice water, skimmed excess fat. Portioned one serving (The Cat doesn’t usually eat beef), Cooked frozen mixed vegetables and okra, drained, added meatballs and soup to warm.
The Mouse liked. Too bad the grocery store doesn’t sell smaller bricks. Small bricks would be more practical for The Mouse. Oh well.
Stay safe and well.

The Mouse, kinda playing in the kitchen, no recipe, didn’t fail. Whew!
First breakfast. Picked up from the grocery store, two scoops of rice, two eggs, three strips of bacon. The fry cook forgot to scramble until almost too late, hence the texture. The Mouse reserved the rice for The Cat’s dinner, reserved the bacon for something else (post soon), and used the “scrambled eggs” on toast with butter and Vegemite.
The eggs were slightly overcooked, but did the job.
Also at the grocery store a package of salmon bones. The store also had salmon heads but The Mouse is handling salmon heads, too ugly, stuff that nightmares are made of. Ugh!
Head cabbage, ginger, tree ear fungus. Pre-cooked the fungus, Cold water, ginger, fungus to boil, simmer for 5 minutes. Add cut head cabbage, bring to boil again and simmer until cabbage is half cooked, about 2-3 minutes. Another boil, add salmon bones, simmer for another 5 minutes. Shoyu and rice wine drizzle. Salt to taste. Stir and serve. Not really soup, more broth.
The Cat liked. 🙂
Stay safe and well.

Leftover SPAM and kamaboko in the fridge. Problem when making dishes, ingredient leftover.
The Mouse picked up a tray of one of his favorites.
Granted, the rice was not the best, sat in the grocery refrigerator. Perfect for saimin soup without noodles. Heh heh.
The rest of the saimin dashi (about 1/4 of the packet), okra, cauliflower, corn, and of course sliced kamaboko and strips of SPAM. Boil water, everyone into the pool (no-recipe), simmer for a couple of minutes, voilà ! Hee hee.
The soup perfect for offsetting the not so perfect sushi rice. The Mouse can’t complain, the tray was a reduced item. 🙂
The Mouse has enough SPAM and kamaboko for about one more serving, have to get creative (or weird), hee hee.
Stay safe and well.
