Mudd Pie First

Kinda, since The Mouse’s roadside stop pretty much covered the fruits for the week (see previous post), Sunday farmers market was a quicky (The Cat still wanted papaya).

Too early for our semi-usual lunch stop at Ruby Tuesday, but still serving breakfast.

The Cat’s Plate

Spinach and mushroom scrambler: Scrambled cheese eggs, baby portabella mushrooms, Swiss cheese, artichokes, and a creamy spinach sauce. Crisp hash browns and two biscuits.

The Mouse’s Plate

Two eggs served with two made-from-scratch biscuits, and your choice of one protein and one side. The Mouse chose crispy hash browns and applewood pork belly. The pork belly? Awesome. Had to save some for later. 🙂

And of course, breakfast, lunch, or dinner, finished with.

Mudd Pie

Enjoy. Eat well.

A Proper Breakfast and Sous Vide Tasting

Lately, for the last month or so, breakfast has been eating kinda “standing up”. A packaged breakfast bar, some fruit, candied ginger, and an energy drink. Dentist doesn’t want me drinking coffee or tea, enamel stains, energy drink is the alternative.

Yesterday, had an early doctor appointment. No time for “breakfast”. Picked up after doctor on the way to work.

Brown Rice, Corned Beef Hash, Scrambled Eggs

Yum! Corned beef hash could have spent a little more time on the flat top (crispy, “burnt”), otherwise no complaints.

The Mouse also got to sample a sous vide prepared test steak.

Sous Vide Steak

So, a little explanation. The Mouse has left employment of the university and now works for a small business that runs a beach concession food stand, a catering, event planning service, and a banquet consulting.

When the owners are trying out new menu items, the back office is “drafted” as “guinea pigs” voluntarily of course, which The Mouse does not mind at all. 🙂

Enjoy. Eat well.

Whacked Schedule

So, The Mouse picked up a part-time job at a family-owned catering company for the tax season. Pick up some pocket money and keep The Mouse out of trouble while The Cat goes through her tax season. Hee hee.

The Mouse had a bit of time between chiropractor appointment and reporting to work … Brunch!

“Drive Inn”

Food’s pretty good, The Mouse mostly goes for the green river.

Green River

Old school (not carbonated), small-kid time treat. 🙂

Fried Rice, Easy Over Eggs, Grilled Hot Dogs

Another small-kid time memory. SPAM and hot dogs!

Dinner was a try try thingy, picked up while doing some grocery shopping.

Can

Why did The Mouse buy it, dunno, try try. Hee hee.

Seasoned Cabbage

Taste was okay, texture was too mushy for The Mouse’s palate.

Are you watching Super Bowl today? Is your team playing? The Mouse may watch only for the commercials. Hee hee.

Enjoy. Eat well.

Newish Breakfast Spot

Several weeks ago, thought we found a new breakfast spot in the neighborhood, Kamalei Kitchen. Returned a couple of weeks later, completely closed shop. No explanation. Sigh.

Several weeks pass and another sign goes up, Kalawe Cafe now open. Turns out, the two owners are related. First owner felt overwhelmed. First-time restaurateurs.

Decided to check it out this past weekend. Menus are very similar.

The Cat tried an omelet.

Spinach, Mushroom, Tomato Omelet with Toast

Two eggs instead of three. No leftovers.

The Mouse tried their riff on the loco moco.

Kapoho Moco

Corned beef hash patties instead of hamburger patties.

House Made Corned Beef Hash Patty

The Mouse liked. 🙂

Enjoy. Eat well.
