“Hand” Eats

The Mouse stayed at the contract job longer than expected, getting hungry. Burger shop across the street.

Kalua Pork Sliders

Light mayonnaise, extra pickles. About 3-4 bites each. Tasty, but pricey. Did I mention The Mouse was hungry? Next time The Mouse will pack a granola bar or something.

Dinner was clearance shelf hot dog rolls from the grocery store.

Hot Dog Rolls

Usually, the hot dogs in these rolls are kinda skinny, these hot dogs were substantial. With yellow mustard, mmm.

The price of the hot dog rolls made up for the slider cost. Averaged out. 🙂

Stay safe and well.

Not Just Cabbage

The Mouse had a portion of kalua pork in the freezer, no cabbage in the house, had an onion though.

Sliced the onion as thin as I could, The Mouse can always practice his knife skills. Hee hee.

Sliced Onions

The Mouse is quite sure the effort would not pass any of the chef’s inspection, oh well, still edible. Hee hee.

Stir-fried the onions on medium low heat until they started to caramelize, added the kalua pork to warm.

Lunch

Pork on the left, onions on the right. Mmm Nom! The Mouse ate straight from the pan (faster clean up), don’t tell The Cat.

For starch, The Mouse warmed a pita. Added a couple of shiso leaves for the token green. Hee hee.

Pita and Shiso

Stay safe and well.

Friday Favorites

Friday favorites for The Mouse. Either lau lau or kalua pork. Yesterday The Mouse’s choice was kalua pork. All rice (The Mouse has been trying to avoid rice for the week, less carbs). 

Kalua Pork with Rice

Nom! Portion was huge, at least three meals worth. Salted just right, smoky taste (from liquid smoke The Mouse guesses). No sauce needed.

Don’t worry, The Mouse will share. 🙂 

A nice end to a medium stressful week.

Hope your Friday went well.

Stay safe and well.
