Exploring ginger beer lately. The Mouse does like ginger ale, but never had ginger beer. One of the cousins likes so does the campus receptionist (in office where The Mouse works).
Picked up one to try try.
Bottle
Not bad, less carbonation than ginger ale, stronger ginger flavor.
Still like ginger ale too!
Just learned what a Moscow Mule is. Tonight, no vodka nor lemon juice. Must do more research. 🙂
Enjoy. Eat well.

Sunday dinner at a wine bar. Forgot to post the wine.
Red
That’s all I know. It’s The Cat that wants to become a sommelier. The Mouse is just the DD (no, not the Matt Murdock variety, more the Jeeves/Alfred variety). Jus’ in case you’re scratching your head, “designated driver”.
Enjoy. Drink well.

In the land of SPAM (and SPAM musubi), Japanese-European bakeries, and fusion menus, not much surprises us food-wise. Even Chinese-Mexican.
One of our go-to places AJ’s Chinese Fast Food is now offering “Mexican” choices. At the suggestion of the chef, ordered a fish burrito.
Burrito
Chomp View
Fish, slaw, beans, no rice, and no cheese (by request). since I don’t really have a reference to compare with, I thought it was pretty good. Enough spice to be noticed, but not smoke in the ears spicy. There’s some other offerings I would be willing to try later (shredded pork torta for example).
Washed the burrito down with a smoothie.
Strawberry Smoothie with Mango Bubbles
Powdered, not fresh, went well with the burrito.
What’s next? Chinese-Korean-Mexican? Hmmm.
BTW, got a new job, submitting resignation to the church today. Happy New Year! (The smoothie was part of the celebration)
No more work on Sundays! 🙂
Enjoy. Eat well.

Sorta. Yesterday kinda an Ellen Raskin day, nothing culinarily exciting.
Lunch (working at the church).
Bottle of Lemonade, SPAM Musubi (sandwich style), Bag of Cashews
Dinner.
Prunes, Banana, Asian Pear, Cucumber
Okay, maybe not wordless, just weird (except for the SPAM musubi). 🙂
Happy Hump Day! 🙂
Enjoy. Eat well.

Just a couple of items in our kitchen, just to try.
Package
Instant Ginger Tea (Sweetened)
Just add hot water.
Uhm … too sweet for my taste. Not much ginger kick. Think I’ll pass.
Cover
Preserved Olive Leaves in Olive Oil
Salty, “ferment-y”, “pesto-y”. Would be tasty on pasta, hot rice, or even toast (in a Vegemite sorta way). This one’s a keeper.
To borrow from a credit card ad … “What’s in your kitchen?” 🙂
Enjoy. Eat well.
