 Baby back ribs from The Japanese Grill. 

 

The absence of chopsticks or a chopstick rest is intentional.

I imagine you'd need a knife though, unless you're doing it caveman (or cavewoman to be precise) style!

 Don’t be such a spoilsport!   Leaves something to everyone’s imagination.😂

Linguine with clams steamed in Shaoxing wine, with garlic, ginger and two types of chilli.  I intended to include fermented black beans but when I got there, the cupboard was bare and I was too lazy to go out to buy some. I will remedy that tomorrow.

 

I have never run out of salt fermented black beans before in all my 23 years in China. Always a first for everything.

A Chinese restaurant that is not far away and right on Deb's way home from work, has changed hands and has a new menu. It used to be awful and if that has changed for the better, it would be a good thing. I usually get wonton and hot and sour soup when I am testing the waters of a new Chinese place. Deb likes wonton soup, so that will be her lunch tomorrow and I like the hot and sour.

The hot an sour soup was quite good with plenty of interesting UFOs of varying textures. I did add a little dash of chili oil to bump up the heat just a bit, but it was a great improvement from the previous place!.

So with you on your choice, @HungryChris.  Though I tend to need to add more rice wine vinegar.

I miss our Indian place. I would SO eat Indian tonight.

 

As it was, I snacked on Froot Loops, dry, from the box after I got home from grocery shopping. Because I've wanted them since I posted about them yesterday and, well, I got them today.

 

Tomorrow is supposed to be nasty and cold. I plan to stay home and start my holiday baking. Cranberry bread and date-maple-walnut bread.

This was something I tried:

 

Cooked White beans

Topped with pickled red onion--  I pickled the red onion in my olive salad mix--Capers/celery/onion/olive juice/red wine/Italian seasoning

 

Tortilla

Both Deb and I like a Klondike bar after dinner, from time to time, and we have been out for a month or more. They went on sale this week at Shoprite, so I made a list of things I also like to get there (like  Park's scrapple) and a few other items, put a cooler in the car and headed out. Of course, my favorite sushi place is right next door, so that was part of the plan as well. A spicy tuna California roll, 2 scallop, 2 uni and 2 eel sushi.

Okonomiyaki (how you like it). Today I liked it with chopped broccoli stems, cabbage, Sichuan flavoured spam and black forest bacon. 

[Paul Bacino]

Well I think that is a given with the okonomiyaki along with that thick sweet and Worcestershire driven dark sauce.  I am not a fan.

Pork Fried Rice Take Out from Wong’s

I had a debate with myself this morning about either having breakfast before I left the house, or lunch, when I returned (I seldom do both). Lunch won the debate. Spicy chicken ramen, tree ears, sautéed sugar snaps and kimchi.

窝窝头 (wō wō tóu) steamed buns with spicy wild shrimp.

Noodle bowl with green beans, aburaage, chicken karaage and some furikake. Base was home made chicken stock fortified with some commercial tensuyu.

 This was from a day or so ago. It is a very tiny strip loin which I was planning on having for dinner that day. Something went wrong  with my day which I don’t even recall any more and it became lunch.   It has a miso glaze on it and I ate it with out any accompaniments.  This is a small act of rebellion on my part. Something to do with balanced meals.
