I get $10 on DL and $5 for HiltonHonors cards. They both end 12/31/21. Weird promo, total waste for Amex. Which Amex owner doesn’t buy food outside of a grocer?

With home cooked requisite noodles for a birthday - we prepared 2 types 😉 .. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...093b8a2ca.jpeg Fried crispy noodles / crispy yee mee from Pontian https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...2d71266e1.jpeg Mee goreng ( ‘ usual ‘ yellow noodles used ) |
Last night it was Tom Kine's grilled and roasted venison filet, with beetroots. It's accompanied by an incredibly rich shallot, tomato and garlic sauce, all quite delicious. I decided to drink my last bottle of Ch Brown Lamartine 2010 with it - its 23 predecessors have been not great but this tasted fantastic with the venison, and then it was an unhappy combination with the brie and pecorino cheese afterwards.

I always thought it was a Filipino tradition about noodles on your Birthday, but see it may be an Asian culture thing. However, per my wife's family it is supposed to be "long noodles for long life." That is why we always have Pancit Canton, vs. Pancit Guisado on birthdays. The noodles pictured above are very short and would not be eaten on a birthday or else be considered a short life span ahead,
Perhaps should have said very senior for the birthday “ boy “ and not merely senior For tonight ‘ s dinner we had more of the cakes to enjoy including FLO and Tarte Aux Pommes . Also the putu mayam , photo of one below as it is to be eaten . Some photos of what we had . https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...18f4a4660.jpeg Lotus root and peanut soup https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...1539ce5eb.jpeg Sweet & sour pork https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...49cc1b129.jpeg Prawn fritters https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...39fb55074.jpeg Bak choy and French beans with minced porker https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...9c961aa3b.jpeg Fried bee hoon / rice “ vermicelli “ https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...bd2583e38.jpeg Mango , orange , papaya , persimmon , pineapple and water melon . https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...7b4833bef.jpeg Putu mayam , add the coconut and sugar to one ‘ s liking .

Did that apple tart come in a wooden box? omg

Dinner tonight will be baked chicken thighs with Spanish rice and corn. I’m a little bummed. The impending Nor’easter is going to keep me off of the water the entire week. I really wanted some fresh Black sea bass for a panko crusted miso sea bass. Plus some escovitch and more. Oh well….there’s always next week.

Doesn't mean you can't have it twice. I've had days where all I ate was cereal... Had other food in the house, but this was the most convenient considering I was stuck on a webex all day.

Turkey taco night
I also mentioned the braslvr style taco with lettuce, tomato, cheese, and Turkey. We lacked tomato and had tomatillo salsa. I really enjoy this supper now that I’ve tried to have at least one taco done pseudo-braslvr style where I swap the tomato with salsa. I still sometimes cheat and add something else like jalapeño :-) https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...90d0aae7e.jpeg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...6aed8f810.jpeg |
