After the Concert

The Cat was given tickets to a choral concert Sunday, she did some deeply discounted accounting work for them.

After the concert, The Cat and The Mouse tried to find somewhere to eat. Could not find parking at several locations, ended up in Chinatown. Hunan restaurant. Ordered simple, not spicy.

Noodz with Pork and Vegetable

Comfort food.

Sauteed Greens

Some kinda “spinach”? Whatever it was, it was good.

And the star of the show?

Steamed Pork Belly with Preserved Vegetable

Cooked very well. Tender, not dried, not “greasy”. The Cat thinks they pre-boiled to render the oil out. Nom!

The Mouse wants to go back to try their buns and dumplings!

Enjoy. Eat well.

Products from the Warehouse

More of the dried turnip kimchi, The Mouse really likes.

The Mouse’s Lunch

The Mouse might pick up a container soon. Yay for employee discount.

The Mouse’s Dinner

Canned salmon with rapeseed flower greens. The greens are imported by the warehouse, pre-cooked and frozen. Convenient.

The Cat’s Dinner

Shredded pork soup with dried bamboo shoot, rapeseed flower greens, and wood ear fungus. With a touch of whiskey to finish. \ooo/

Enjoy. Eat well.

Mixed Pics

This week’s soup bones.

Pork Bones

Not sure which bones these are, not leg bones, not ribs, possibly neck. Not too much marrow. Cooked a shorter time than the feet, took out the bones and shredded the meat.

Soup Meat

The Mouse not decided what to do with the meat yet.

Bitter Melon

Farmers market. May go into the shredded pork meat soup, maybe not. Dunno.

Potato and Butterfish

Leftover banchan from The Mouse’s lunch, small piece of miso butterfish from the grocery store. Super easy, toaster oven 10 to 12 minutes.

Enjoy. Eat well.
