Back to Crust by Rusk Doha for bacon and truffle honey

Bacon in Doha? I was under the impression that it was illegal to import pork products to Qatar and they certainly don't raise pigs there.

Doesn't look like it, but maybe it's beef bacon? Looks more like prosciutto than bacon to me, too red-ish for the stuff we get around here.

Coming back from polo I got this hankering for street tacos and since Costco is close to my hotel, I popped over and picked some up. I always pan fry the tortillas in olive oil so they have at least a little crisp, also sauté the chicken in olive oil and immediately afterwards generously squeeze lime juice on it and today pairing with a French Sauvignon Blanc (for all you Costco shoppers, this is currently and drinks well for an everyday Sauvignon Blanc). Not the most aesthetic dish. . As for Pip, since the chicken is well spiced, she instead got some lump crab which she was more than happy with (and I found her hovering right above the tacos the moment I turned my head before I treated her to the crab)

Since we did have a brief discussion of the kitchenette set-up, for those unfamiliar with the Homewood set-up, here’s a picture before I assembled the street tacos with the cabinets open to see

On a completely different level was the kitchen in my 1 Bedroom Residence Suite at the Waldorf Astoria Park City at the end of May with Viking appliances

I skipped luncheon due to being tired plus time elements even though I did fetch Popeyes for my mother’s requested errand (yuck). Huge 8p meal in 2 parts because our son had friends over and he wanted me to finish eating at a later time, after they departed.

Nice. What's up with the weird lighting though?!

I really don’t know, but the whole restaurant was lit up blue.

dinner at Little Saigon in Lawrence — freshly made spring rolls and the Friday special —

“Friday’s Special. Bún bò Huế (Spicy beef noodle soup) Only $10.95.
Bún bò Huế originated from Huế, the last imperial capital of Vietnam. The broth is prepared by simmering beef bones and beef flank with lemongrass and then seasoned with shrimp sauce and sugar for taste. Bún bò Huế usually served with cilantro sprigs, diced green onions, raw sliced onions, and mung bean sprouts.
What The Hueeeeeeeeeee!”
