End of the week, end of the pork rib soup.
The Cat got her bowl.
Pork Rib Noodle Soup with Mustard Green
There was one lonely rib left. Coated it with some red miso, popped it in the toaster oven to warm …
Pork Rib – Miso Flavor
Not BBQ (no smoke), but tasty just the same.
Not sure what next week will bring.
Have a great weekend.
Enjoy. Eat well.

One of the pork foot segments, slowly steamed overnight.
Pork Hock
A splash of whiskey, salt, pepper.
On the way home, picked up an order of vegetarian chili from Zippy’s.
Assemble.

Pork shank (not veal or lamb), Zippy’s vegetarian chili, side greens.
Osso bucco? Cassoulet? Not even close, but The Mouse liked. 🙂
You might be thinking vegetarian chili with pork? Sounds contrary, but of all their chili, their vegetarian is the best. Plus, regular chili and pork hock would be way too much meat.
Enjoy. Eat well.

Yesterday, the student government invited a food truck to campus, the first 100 students got a free lunch, staff had to pay. I guess their student activity fees paid for some of their lunches.
But the plates were cheap enough. Not cheap cheap, but worth the try.
Food Truck
Hmm what to eat, what to eat, for The Mouse, there’s only one choice.
Pulled Pork Plate
Hee hee.
Overall, not bad, pork was well cooked, moist and tender, but, for The Mouse, not enough flavor. Where the sauce met the meat, taste was okay. Where the sauce didn’t touch the meat? Kinda on the bland side.
Not to worry, I have a bottle of green tabassco, and a bottle of shoyu at my cubicle. It’s all good.
Since lunch was sooooo heavy, dinner was light.
Local Grapefruit, Orange, and Banana
Kinda balanced, right? 🙂
Enjoy. Eat well.

Pork Chop
Thought they’d be easier (and faster) to cook that pork belly.
Parboiled, washed, boned, cut into cubes. Washed pot.
Carrot, Okinawan Sweet Potato
Peeled and cut.
Hard Apple Cider
Himalayan Pink Salt
Picked up cheap at the neighborhood discounter store. I know, we currently have access to Kaua‘i sea salt, but, try try.
Brown pork, add small amount of water, drops of apple cider vinegar, braise, add carrots, add hard cider, add sweet potato, add salt. braise more, about an hour.
Hard Cider Braised Pork Chop with Carrot and Okinawan Sweet Potato
Pork came out “like buttah”. 🙂
