I cut up some hamachi, then I put that hamachi into a small bowl and poured some smoked soy sauce onto it. I zested a lime into a small ramekin and then filled it with olive oil. Juiced that very same lime into another identical ramekin. Put all that stuff into the fridge and let it sit for a while. Took it out and then put the hamachi pieces on a plate and then poured the oil and juice onto it. Sprinkled it with some crushed up cashews, broken up butter-flavored rice cracker puffs, what I think are daikon sprouts?, and some Korean red pepper flakes.
I meant to cut up a green apple into small cubes and put that in there too, but I forgot, that was going to be my secret ingredient, kept the secret too safe this time.
I cut up the remaining hamachi and slathered the backsides of the pieces with yuzu kosho. Variously dusted the fronts with saffron, flower, or truffle salt. Put pieces on rice.
We then proceeded to eat the hamachis and they were good.
This sounds fun to eat. Saffron salt is an A+ move. What’s the butter flavored rice cracker puff dealio? I’d only eat rice with butter and soy sauce when I was a kid, so that sounds right down my alley.
They are these, “Potato Butter” flavor, apparently the brand is ‘Morihaku’. They taste real good but there are like maybe 12 in the bag and I think it might have cost like four or five dollars.
i finally had a chance to try jollibee after hearing about it for years, i mostly wanted to try a halo halo but the only one even remotely near here doesn’t serve them anymore, anyhow, i got the 1pc chicken w/ palabok, not only did it look unappealing when opening the box but it was all just kind of bland, the noodles were really soggy and all the meat in it was gristly, the chicken was decent but these two items was like 8 dollars which is far too much for something so Meh
I’ve been disappointed by novelty flavors of Coke and Pepsi before but I am really enjoying this Mango Sentinel Pepsi. In fact, somewhat belatedly, I think I’ve realized that I just straight-up love mango, what a lovely fruit.
we got some cheap pork should awhile ago thats been sitting in our freezer, we finally got around to curing it and making some ham, most of it is like thick slices 4 sandwiches but the one in the top left is a rly thin one too see how well i could do it, next time i’d like to try dry curing bc that way i can make some prosciutto.
we also found a retro deli slicer at the thrift store a few weeks ago for a couple of bucks, it was nice to finally justify the expenditure by giving to to that ham, and also a pickle
we went 2 the park and had a little bbq, i made a chili type concoction from whatever beans and meats we had lying around the house the other day so i took some along to make a chili dog
we’ve made butter a few times as well
this is from our first batch of uncultured butter but every one since has been cultured, it has a more interesting flavor and it takes like 1/4 the churning time of uncultured
I bought these from the dollar store the other day along with the Purplesaurus Rex, and while I figured I’d like the Purplesaurus Rex more (I hate fruit punches) I’ve been hooked on the Rock-a-dile Red. You don’t even need to add sugar! The Purplesaurus Rex is actually pretty good, it’s just I don’t like how citrus stuff tends to make me kind of… phlegmy. Also, these are sooo much better than the awful pre-bottled Kool-Aids, and all of their ilk, those always tasted so gross, especially those Squeeze-Its.
I wanted more than just 6 packets, though, so I also got some of the Blue Ocean Breeze Island Punch, which is also decent and you get 10 packets.
I think the watermelon kiwi Kool-Aid was like, the absolute pinnacle of Kool-Aid flavors, I wish they’d do these packets for that flavor. I don’t think Kool-Aid even makes it in the normal pouches anymore…
You know those…scented witches brooms? My wife got a little tiny one and put it in her car. Her review of Central Market®H·E·B Organic Italian Soda Chef Developed Limited Edition · Fall · Orange Cinnamon Crème: “It tastes like that broom in my car.” She is right, but in a good way.
Also, they opened up an In-N-Out like 20-25 minutes away, recently. They built one 2(?)ish years ago, way far out maybe like 40 minutes away, that we never ended up visiting. We went to this newer closer one, a few days ago, we sat in a ~30 car drive-in line. It was pretty good. Maybe it’ll get worse once the sadness starts seeping into the line cooks’ aprons. The fries are bad. That’s gotta be a well-trod topic, “in and out french fries are bad”, I presume?
I think the best burger I ever had in my life was at the then newly opened fully packed Shake Shack in Austin. Exceptional. I can still taste it. Really makes you think.
The only other time I ever ate In-N-Out was when my wife and I were on vacation, years ago, driving from LA to San Francisco along the coast. I don’t remember where it was, some town, etc.; but I do remember, after ordering, we decided to eat outside. There were signs near the tables saying not to feed the birds. My wife is afraid of birds. If you ask her she’ll say that she isn’t. “Its fine,” I say, and get up to throw something in a trash can, and like immediately hear her yelling. Quickly spin around to witness a big bird thrashing around on the table completely and instantly scarfing entirely all of my food, all of it, right up. We shoo it away. Her food is fine, she saved it. She went inside and told the employees as I sat outside like a defeated idiot. They made me some new food for free.
