Misc.

Jus’ cleaning out the camera phone. 🙂

Kalua Pork Sandwich

North Shore Grinds, not on the north shore, Kaimuki area. Not bad, better than the organic, uncured ham.

Steamed Rice with Butter and Vegemite

A riff on small-kid time dish. The Mouse’s father was not a wiz in the kitchen. When he had to “cook”, he could cook rice, fry eggs, fry SPAM, open tins of Vienna sausage. One of his go-to “dishes”, steamed rice, butter, shoyu.

Found out Vegemite is good not only on toast. Hee hee.

Inari Sushi

The Mouse’s favorite non-sushi bar sushi. Bought these on discount from the grocery store. Nom.

Roast Pork

Also picked up at the grocery store, The Mouse thought give The Cat a break, she’s been eating shoyu pork for lunch and dinner.

Soup Noodle

Buckwheat noodle, wakame seaweed, Japanese eggplant, and the roast pork. The Cat liked.

Happy Friday all!

Enjoy. Eat well.

Inspired

Inspired by fellow bloggers. In the spirit of sharing and learning.

First, The Mouse’s “brother from another mother” (http://yummylummy.com/). The Mouse tried a new way to use Vegemite.

Scrambled Eggs with Vegemite

Maybe my new favorite breakfast dish? Hard to leave shoyu and catsup (separately and together), but Vegemite is a serious contender. 🙂

Next, a blog post from last night: https://indianeskitchen.com/2017/09/01/fruit-salad/.

After reading, The Mouse wanted fruit too.

The Mouse’s Fruit

Dragonfruit, apple banana, mandarin orange, canned pears. Yum!

Thanks for the ideas.

Enjoy. Eat well.

Random Friday

No Hawaiian plate this week.

Coworker got her hands on a Goteborg sausage from Kauai, and shared some with the office. For some reason which The Mouse does not know yet. A Kauai regional food. I don’t think any other island favors Goteborg sausage as much as Kauai. More research is needed.

Goteborg Sausage

Of course The Mouse had to try. For breakfast. Hee hee.

Sausage went well with the planned breakfast.

Vegemite Toast and Dried Plums

With Earl Grey tea. Director brought back a tea bag variety from her trip to Disneyland. Tea. Not Mickey hats. Sigh.

Finally got to try the “Student Special #1” from St. Louis Drive Inn down the hill from campus. Highly recommended by a coworker from the old job.

Student Special #1

Two burgers, French fries, drink. Six bucks.

Chomp View

Burger, a little sauce, bun. No other accoutrements. Super old school. On the plus side, burger wasn’t drowned in sauce. On the minus side, no lettuce/tomato (at least lettuce). Good to try though.

Another coworker brought in something she didn’t want for the two known food enthusiasts in the office.

Dragonfruit!

Coworker is not a vegetable/fruit eater plus not adventurous in the eating arena. The Mouse offered to cut a piece for her. Nope. That’s okay, The Cat and The Mouse benefit. 🙂

Nom!

Since The Mouse didn’t have lau lau and or kalua pork on Friday, picked up a little “cat food” on the way home. 🙂

Hamachi Poke

And a little “mouse treat” too.

Smoked Salmon Poke

The hamachi poke for dinner, the smoked salmon poke to snack on.

The Cat had lunch at Romano’s Macaroni Grill.

Eggplant Parmesan

The Cat brought home a little mousie bag, went into the freezer, probably will end up as part of one of The Cat’s bento next week.

Have a good weekend.

Enjoy. Eat well.

From Six to Two

Doctor “suggested” The Mouse cut down on carbs. Rice is now occasionally (once or twice a week), bread went from four to six slices a day (depending if The Mouse ate rice or not) to two. Instead of two slice servings, now one slice.

Breakfast

Slice of whole wheat toast (from JJ2 Bakery), margarine (with flax seed), and Vegemite. Tea or coffee (mostly green tea).

Dinner

Another whole wheat toast, this time with jam and peanut butter, orange, banana, toaster roasted carrot.

Not missing the carbs too much. 🙂

Enjoy. Eat well.

Open-Faced

Doctor says The Mouse has to cut down (not eliminate) carbs. Less sandwiches (two slices of bread), more toast (one slice of bread.

Vegemite Toast with Margarine

Oh yeah, butter is kinda a “taboo” too. Still working out the Vegemite ratio, I may have gone a wee bit overboard on the picture above.

PB, J, &B Toast with Orange

Light dinner.

Tomorrow is the big crockpot vegetable ragu adventure, will let you know how it went.

Enjoy. Eat well.
