The kid is having a sleepover at Grandma's house tonight, so we decided to kind of do a Valentin's a day thing tonight. We drove to Louisville (45ish miles) to see Whiplash and I introduced my wife to Cajun food at Joe's OK Bayou.

I got the grilled Mahi Mahi with sides of shrimp creole and crawfish étouffée. We also tried their new creole seasoned queso. My wife got the catfish po'boy with a side of jambalaya, which I sampled.

KFC because I got drunk and being drunk = having a craving for fast food.

Are you the same guy who lives on bread and water? :dopey:
Or was that penance of some sort. :lol:

Seriously, though - bread and butter or just a loaf of crusty bread and a hunk of Edam is a great pleasure to me.

For now, I'm a fruit-fly:

Found some spare ribs while cleaning out the freezer, so I'm attempting to bake them for dinner tonight.

Just put them in the oven after a quick dry rub, should be done in about 4 hours.
 
Had a chicken, rice and black bean burrito for breakfast in Denver and a patty melt and fries for lunch in Las Angeles. Supper remains to be decided but I have a feeling I'm going to be too tired to care. :lol:
 
@FoolKiller cooking the fish over the rice is brilliant. You're not wasting a bit of the fish flavor.

Was the rice raw, or cooked, or instant when you stuck it in the oven? I have seen raw rice baked with other meats, but never fish.

It's tilapia-- what fish flavor? Anyway, cooking over or under rice is a common technique. In India they have Biryani. You par-cook the rice and it finishes in the oven or the pot. You take a grain (it has to be a long grain rice like Basmati, etc) and smash it between your fingers; you should be able to smash a bit but not get all the way through the grain. Shorter grain rices like jasmine and risotto rices don't work well in the oven because they tend to get gloppy before they finish. Basmati is my favorite rice because it behaves just like pasta. It's hard and soaks in water without leeching so much starch before it's finished cooking.
 
I'm getting a buzz off wildflower honey.
Honey in the lime yogurt, honey in the green tea, honey zapping my synapses . . . woooo . . I'm a bee . . look at me bumble . . .

Who invented honey?
 

What?

Why didn't anyone tell me this before?

For crying' out aloud - I thought it was just two ancient guys hooling around and one chomps on some beehive absentmindedly and says 'Woah, man, this thing is as sweet as honey,' and the other guy says 'What, gimme a piece!' and then, 'Yup. This is honey. We got to market this. This is money.'

Next someone's going to tell me it's bee vomit. :irked:

Had some chocolate cake and coffee. Before that two cups of hot chocolate.
Can't help it - it's snowing like crazy.
 
You did eat Japanese dishes at a meal again. 👍

I love Japanese food, and there are plenty of Japanese restaurants around Manila. They are pretty much everywhere.

But of course, I enjoyed everything I ate in my recent trip to Japan last year. I ate so much.... :lol: I've even been to Shin Yokohama Ramen Museum, and the setup is really nice - like an old city.

And also, I tried Ohmi beef in one of the steakhouses in Roppongi, Tokyo:

According to the chef, it's a bit less expensive that Kobe beef. But still an expensive type of meat! If my memory serves me right, the total bill was over 30,000 Yen on that lunch! :lol:
 
Surimi and pasta. I am very cheep.


Today. Fried bread because I ruined a whole tub of butter and had to use it all for cooking in some way.

Edit. Starting to die from the fat. Bye people.

Dude, you need chili mix to make chili? What kind of a Texan are you?

Anyway, I need some mustard help. Has anyone had Colman's mustard? How does it compare to French's or the other brands? My favorite sandwich mustard is coarse ground dijon. Winn Dixie sells one with practically the whole seed included. It's like delicious gravel, and it's uber cheap. Is Colman's worth it?
 
Supper last night was Macadamia encrusted Mahi Mahi with a sweet chili butter sauce over mashed potatoes with a side of grilled veggies washed down with a "Brennecke's Tai Chi". @Small_Fryz would be proud:

It’s all in the rum, Captain Morgan, 151, Coconut Rum & a float of dark rum with Brennecke’s famous Mai Tai juices

On the expensive side but without question the best meal we've had so far. :drool:
 
@Solid Lifters - no fair - the pickles made my mouth water.

@RCKakashi14 - is that the 'good' fat in the beef? There's a kind of fat that marbles a steak that is supposed to be 'good' fat versus the other fat which congeals around one's heart right away. :lol:

Nothing so far but some cups of tea, and a few fruit-filled cookies.
That's nothing, right?

It's past noon here. So by now I should have had more food.


*goes off to eat more cookies and make more tea.
 
@Solid Lifters - no fair - the pickles made my mouth water.
They were excellent, but more sweet than spicy. Hence the added pepperoncinis.

Breakfast was a banana. Don't know about dinner. Perhaps another Italian sammich. Big Booger never eats dinner here anymore. Little Booger usually eats after getting home from school. Dinners are becoming a rarity here.
