Just Eat

Kinda a catch-all post.

The Mouse’s leftover breakfast.

Steamed Rice, Furikake, Smoked Salmon, Poke, Pickled Grapes

The Mouse didn’t have ume (hence the pickled grapes) nor capers. Other than that, mmm. 🙂

Fruit

Oranges and grapes, to balance the breakfast.

Lao-Thai Plate

The Cat had lunch with a business associate, he ordered the plate above, mild. Served too spicy, had to be sent back.

The Cat had better luck.

Caramelized Pork Bell

Braised pork belly with hard-boiled eggs, star anise, herbs and spices. The Mouse thinks Lao-Thai version of shoyu pork. Leftover for The Cat’s bento this week.

Be safe and well.

The Mouse had a good day. 🙂

Take-Out Eats

While playing “tourist”.

Spicy Ahi Poke Wrap

Shoyu Ginger Poke

Bowl of Ramen

Chasiu Rice

Because The Mouse avoids soup noodles in take-out containers, it’s just not the same.

Lilikoi Mead

Reminded The Mouse of hard apple cider, light and refreshing, welcomed after driving/sightseeing all day. 🙂

Stay safe and well.

Epic Eats

An epic eats chef’s choice from Chef H:

Split Pea and Ham Soup

Poke with Caviar, Shiso Leaves, Pesto, and Crispies

One of the best non-traditional poke The Mouse has tasted. Mmm.

Foie Gras, Salad, Raisin Toast Point

Another mmm moment. The Mouse took some of the foie gras home to savor later, The Cat scarfed hers. Hee hee.

John Dory, Steamed Rice, Almonds, Greens, Tomato Coulis

Fish was very moist and tender. Another mmm. 🙂

Lemon Sorbet

Palate refresher. 🙂

Lamb Chops

Usually, The Cat kinda avoids lamb because of the smell but she didn’t mind Chef’s dish. Hardly any lamb smell.

Peach Melba with Mango Sorbet

Perfect ending to epic meal. Thanks Chef H again!

Stay safe and well.

Fish Day

The Mouse has been kinda/sorta jonesing for battered/fried fish (think fish and chips or fish fry). Didn’t happen yesterday, The Mouse got fish, just different preparations.

First, The Mouse needed to get a blood test. On the way home, did some grocery shopping. Picked up brunch from the bargain shelf. (The Mouse had to fast before the blood test).

Inari Sushi with Poke

Normally, The Mouse is hesitant from buying raw fish from the bargain shelf but the plate was just placed on the shelf (The Mouse watched the clerk stock the shelf), and the color of the fish still looked good. Lucky.

The Mouse also bought a buttermilk biscuit, but biscuit and gravy was not an option for The Mouse, no sausage on hand and that type of gravy is forbidden (dairy).

Biscuit and Sweet Potato

The Mouse threw something together from the pantry/freezer (no recipe).

Sardines and Spinach over Biscuit with Sweet Potato

Similar saltiness and mouth feel, a good substitute maybe even a little healthier. The Mouse was happy.

Stay safe and well.
