From The Mouse’s weird mind. Half of a hamburger patty in the refridge. Texture was either not enough fat or too dense. A scoop of miso, some vegetables (turnip greens and carrot), beans, an egg, and the hamburger patty. Oh and the leftover french fries that came with the burger (they were a bit on the dry side).
Miso
The Mouse’s favorite non-recipe, throw everything in and hope for the best. Hee hee.
Hamburger Nabemono
The miso paste made it all good. Nom!
Stay safe and well.

The Cat in bed sleeping off a cold. The Mouse lazying around. Some internet Christmas browsing.
Fruit Salad
Apple, Chinese grapefruit, Mandarin orange, pineapple. Breakfast.
Beef Curry Stew over Rice
Japanese take-out down the street. Japanese style curry, a little on the sweet side (which The Mouse doesn’t mind). Really, it’s all about the gravy and rice! Good gravy. Hee hee.
Ginger Onion Musubi
Not typical musubi shaped, flat, kinda like a sandwich. This one had the cold ginger chicken sauce, not the chicken, just the sauce in-between.
Chomp View
Have to love the ginger chicken sauce, which The Mouse does. Made well, could’ve used a bit more salt, or a couple pieces of fried SPAM. Hee hee.
Rest of the time spent napping, and in The Mouse’s case dealing with his own leaky plumbing. Body still not back to normal. Taking its time I guess.
Enjoy. Eat well.

The Mouse was nearby and dinner from the gas station seemed like a good idea at the time, no regrets.
Chicken Salad Sandwich
The local 7-Eleven stocks a pretty good BLT but they were sold out last night, good substitute.
Root Beer
One of The Mouse’s faves. Now in diet.
Crunchy Stuff
No, The Mouse did not consume in one sitting. But good that the gas station sells small packs. Controlled portions. Hee hee.
To balance out The Mouse made a fruit salad.
Mandarin Orange, Starfruit, Canned Pineapple
🙂
For The Cat, The Mouse made a quick stew/braise
The Cat’s Stew
Leftover Chinese pot roast pork, eggplant, carrot. Nom.
Enjoy. Eat well.

The Mouse (and The Cat) is (are) back. Short trip to Hilo, semi-business for The Cat, The Mouse went along kinda as driver. Pics and stories coming. In the meantime, last night dinner. Schedule still out of whack, jet lag and all. Hee hee.
Max’s of Manila, near The Mouse’s workplace.
Dishes that meet The Cat’s food preferences.
Pinakbet
Vegetables? Check. Soupy? Check.
A little too much shrimp paste for The Mouse’s taste, good with rice though.
Papaya Chicken Soup
Again, soupy? Check. Vegetables? Check.
Well cooked. Chicken was not “dried out” from overcooking, papaya was soft, but not falling apart.
Really though, the main reason for coming here was for the ube ice cream (The Cat was jonesing for).
Ube Ice Cream
The Cat would have gone for a bowl of Halo Halo, but watching her weight and too much food.
Enjoy. Eat well.

The oxtail. Part II.
After the parboil (about 30 minutes), drained, cooled, and refrigerated.
Trimmed the outside fat (think fat cap).
Into the pot. Oxtail, tree ear fungus, heavy soy sauce, salt, pepper, sugar, vodka, orange extract, ginger. Slow simmer for about an hour, add peanuts, more slow simmer for another 90 minutes, add turnip and bamboo shoot, more simmer for another hour or so.
Braised Oxtail Stew – Asian Flavor
The Mouse style.
Right now, the stew is resting in the refridge for at least overnight to let the flavors and liquid soak and distribute.
Enjoy. Eat well.
