Last lunch on Yonaguni island.

 

 

 

Citrus depressa

 

Taketomi island. There are only a couple of places on the island to eat lunch and they are closed at 5pm. Dinner is served at one's lodging. Yaeyama soba broth is made from skipjack tuna, pork bones and kombu. Meat is almost always braised pork. Condiment is rice liquor infused chillies. Even when you eat something with rice this noodle soup is served in a tiny bowl alongside.

 

 

 

Yaeyama islands are a group of islands in the Ryukyu archipelago. They were incorporated into Japan only in the 70's.

Fettuccini in mushrooms and cream with toasted breadcrumbs.

Clearly not a travelling bento but fun nonetheless both in the making and in the eating thereof.

A quick lunch. Spicy stir-fried pork with asparagus. Rice.

 

[HungryChris]

Corned beef tongue and Swiss on rye. I did heat up the beef slices in a fry pan, but I have not yet tried the mike process you describe, @rotuts, but I will get to it. Even though it is sunny, it is pretty cold and windy today. I lit the first fire in the wood stove of the season and we will spend the day inside.

@HungryChris, that is an amusing beer name. I didn't realize, until I googled Amarillo, Simcoe and Azacca, that the variety of hops is so wide. Thanks for sharing your meal and beer choices.

@HungryChris

 

good.

 

put your meat on a plate , the  the cheese of your choice 

 

on top of that.

 

the cheese should be one that melts.

 

the micro the combo

 

so the cheese melts

 

then transfer that on to your already prepared bread

 

that simple.

 

since tongue might be a bit rare 

 

try it w ham and cheese first

 

you will never go back.

Too Many Cooks is one of my favorites. I always check Face Book to see what they have for growler fills before I make the 15 mile treck there, and that is one I'll leave the house for. I usually will get 7 32 ounce growlers filled and I like asking for "three too many".

On the way to the Valley, we stopped at San Juan’s Bar and Grill in Aransas Pass

Really tasty Tacos al Pastor at El Tizoncito in Mission on Wednesday.

 

We had lunch two times at the Festival Headquarters:

On our way home on Sunday, we stopped at Bayside Seafood in Port Lavaca

 

 

Grilled Redfish and Jumbo Shrimp Plate with Vegetables, Dirty Rice and a Side Salad

I thought maybe Knorr was going into the seaweed business.

 

Lunch today. 三鲜馄饨 (sān xiān hún tún).  Three delicacy wonton soup. The delicacies being pork, shrimp and shiitake. With spinach in a home made silkie chicken broth. Not Knorr!

 

I love that purple bowl.

So do I. It was dirt cheap, picked up from a convenience store. I have an orange one too, but purple is the ruler!

Still playing with my food. Gherkins, honey-soy chicken sliced and served with some of the jellied sauce, potato salad, grated carrot salad, spicy bean sprout salad and blanched snow peas.

Do you have a helper who comes and cleans all those little dishes?!?  I can't imagine them not flying around the dishwasher....

Hardly!  Those I wash by hand. I am having fun and that is really what matters! And it keeps me out of the pool halls.

Cheese toast and local canned Brunswick stew:

[Anna N]

 

Mostly green salad, broccoli stem kinpira, nanban sauce glazed onions, radishes and leftover miso glazed chicken. 

 

 

Salad dressed with “wafu” dressing.  

[Duvel]

Lanzhou Lamian in a industrial canteen in Nanjing. Setting is very 70’s, but the noodles are great ...

 

 

The cook pulled all the noodles by hand upon order and dished out about 30 portions in 15 minutes. Very impressive.

 

 

This is the “double meat / one egg” variety, enhanced by a generous spoon of chili oil sediment. The noodles had a great chew. Very satisfying (and cleared my sinuses) ...

Hummus with microwaved corn tortilla chips 

[Anna N]

 

 

Onigirazu -  Bacon, pate and gherkins.
