Okaaaaay…

So yesterday I went to Tofu House for bibimbap (yes, again). Pretty good, although I’ve given up on trying to find spicy gochujang.

l



Then a few friends and I went to the San Diego County Fair. So, in order, I had:

  • BBQ turkey leg
  • Jumbo corn dog
  • Chocolate-covered bacon
  • Funnel cake
  • Fried ice cream

The chocolate-covered bacon was a bit disappointing, because the bacon was really dry. The funnel cake was amazing though.

I'm all for chocolate and bacon, but together?

Peanut butter and bacon sandwich is one of my favorites.

Never had chocolate covered bacon, but it sounds like it would be an awesome match.

I had a PB&B not too long ago just for the hell of it. I think it's a waste of peanut butter. They don't really go together... just tastes like saltier peanut butter. And then I had salty-peanut-butter-flavored agita for the rest of the day.

Sage, you know my Grandma would probably hate bibimbap since she hates her food touching. :lol: Looks good though. I might try making some here at home, but I have no idea where to get ingredients like bean sprouts and ferns.

I am eating the shake 'n' dog package (will acshally finished my hot dog and now drinking my 'shake which is a fick milkshake which is in chocolate.
 
Word of warning, guys: Don't make stir fry or bibimbap with pre-packaged philly cheesesteak meat. In fact, don't make anything but a philly cheese with cheesesteak meat. It was salted death.
 
You sure do have some interesting and seemingly high-quality eateries where you are Sage. Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough?
 
Spicy Hot Pad Prik String Beans mixed with white rice, a bag of shrimp chips, and a cup of hot and sour soup...I love Thai food.

Yeah, I think it would’ve been amazing if the bacon hadn’t been dry.

Bean sprouts are hard to find? Really? I must take things for granted in California… you can go to any supermarket here and get bean sprouts.

You probably have to look quite a bit harder in Ohio. :p There’s a street about 6 miles from where I live called Convoy where basically all of the Asian food in San Diego is. Considering that UCSD is almost 50% Asian (I’m not exaggerating), it’s where everybody goes to get food.

Perhaps. But perhaps I haven't looked well enough. I have to get more milk and eggs so I'll probably go shopping tomorrow. Any ideas on what else I can put in a baozi? I hope they have pork tenderloin on sale so I can try some real-deal char siu bao. Hopefully it's buy-one-get-one-free or something so that I can also do a pork wellington.

Wow, no bean sprouts? Here in SoCal every supermarket has a huge row of them. Odd.

That means you've never made taugeh. I love the stuff. If you find some bean sprouts make some taugeh.

Heat up a wok or a large frying pan that can get real hot. Add some peanut oil and add the bean sprouts. Add sesame seed oil and a bit of soy sauce and cook about 3-4 minutes. Done. If you like the sauce on the thick side, sprinkle a little corn starch in the pan/wok about a minute before you're done.

I like to do my own version with ketjap manis, sambal oelek, water chestnut and a little bit of shredded napa cabbage. There's about a millions different ways to make taugeh. You gotta try it at least once.

Oh, tonight we had the beef ribs I was supposed to make on the 4th. They were damn good! That extra time with rub really made them zing.
 
I just found two huge tuna steaks that have been in my freezer for 2 years. If they went bad I will be a sad panda. They're still wrapped in the paper from the fish counter, though, so I don't doubt that they've oxidized to hell. :(

If the tuna has a high fat content, and tuna usually does, you might be in trouble. Fat attracts freezer odors faster than activated charcoal.

However, if it's wrapped in paper, wrapped in aluminum foil and the placed in a air-tight plastic bag, you may be OK.

I dunno – I usually only have cha siu baau and xiaolongbao. But really, you can put just about anything in there as long as it gets cooked properly (the Vietnamese do it).

I blame mom. We have all this meat in the freezer that I'm trying to use. She never thinks to thaw and eat the frozen stuff before making something new.

It's probably done for. I'm not inclined to open up and check, but I'll have to before I go shopping tomorrow. I was thinking of making it with a ginger lime vinaigrette if it's okay. When I saw 2007 on the sticker I had a "FFFFUUUUUUUUUUU" moment.

My mom cleaned out the freezer yesterday and about 2/3 of the stuff is gone.
 
So I went to the store today and finally found the bean sprouts section. They had bean sprouts and napa cabbage and all of that in just a tiny section of one of the aisles. Both were bagged by the same company... needles to say I got a napa and a bag of sprouts. How long does napa cabbage stay? I think I'm gonna be making a lot of asian food this week.

The cabbage, if whole and not pre-shredded or washed, can last at least 10 days. If shredded and washed in a bag, about five days at the most. Same for the sprouts.

You only bought one bag of sprouts? They go fast; trust me.
 
Subway:White bread,Ham,Cheese,Gherkins,Tomatos,Capsicum,Lettuce,and a L&P drink with a chocolate cookie,but not any cookie,it haves N&M's in it!!! And I have finished all right now.
 
I'll post this once even though it happens very frequently...

I am drinking the drinks that come free from the vending machine at work.


Mmmm.. free drinks.
