Seafood alfredo I made tonight with fettucine noodles, Italian-imported alfredo sauce, shrimp, clams, calamari, and octopus. There's two different sizes of shrimp because I had some large shrimp I needed to use up and smaller shrimp in the seafood medley. I would've just done the bigger shrimp, but why pass up some of the other seafood?
Smoked a brisket last night / today. Got burnt ends, sliced and chopped out of it. Everybody seemed to enjoy it.
No pics b/c the food's just about gone.
Day 1: Make 3lbs of taco meat. Make tacos.
Day 2: Leftover tacos.
Day 3/today: Take leftover meat, add one large can crushed tomatoes, can of beans, chopped up jalapeño poppers that were too spicy alone, and some water. Chili!
Day 4/tomorrow: Use leftover chili as sauce for cheese tortellini.
This is the type of meal prep I like. Make something big on a day off, make it last awhile.

Chicken and tofu sandwiches with Costco bread.
Spicy fried chicken in between "Family Mart" steamed ("nikuman-style") buns. These buns are new to the shop.
I made ribs tonight.
I had today off, so decided to surprise TMM with some nicer food.
Barbeque chicken breast with garlic & cheese mashed potatoes, spinach on the side. I was originally going to do ribs, but they didn't have any left at the market. Basically drowned the chicken in BBQ sauce and baked it. It was ok, but I'm not too big on BBQ anyway.
Dessert was supposed to be these cinnamon rolls. Fast recipe w/out yeast, but the dough was super sticky/loose. Had a hard time rolling it, they turned more into cinnamon lumps. There is a light confectioner's sugar glaze on them, rolls just absorbed it. These were cooked in a muffin tray. Texture was crunchy/chewier on the outside, still tasty.

My girl made a bloody good sundae on Sunday.
Later, she made steak salad.

It's a sundae where I'm from, as parfait means something else:

So I saw an ad on Facebook for a new local brewery restaurant. Had a delicious looking chipotle burger advertised for their daily special. But it was a busy week so it was a few days later when I decided to try the place.
Instead of a burger though, I got curious about the Baja Calliflower Tacos on the menu. And damn that was actually a pretty good choice.
Should have taken a before picture. This was after the first taco. But despite the lack of meat in the tacos, they were really good. Tempura fried cauliflower, mango coconut slaw, avacado lime cilantro sauce, with honey siracha and some spicy mexi-corn.

I would be all over that. Yesterday, TMM and I hit Providence Place mall. We usually avoid it due to crowds and a bad parking garage. There was a Brazilian grill with a long line, but it was SO worth it. I got chicken stroganoff, veggies, and rice. Veggies weren't terribly exciting, but al least they were still a bit crunchy and not over-seasoned/fatty. The stroganoff was a reddish creamy sauce, not sure what was in it, but it was perfect with the rice.
TMM got a tall burger that I could barely bite. Patty, sausage, bacon, plus sauce and lettuce/tomato. Also really good, and came with fries that were nice and crispy. Even TMM couldn't finish the whole thing in one sitting. No pics b/c forgot to.

Hiroshima group makes int'l "okonomiyaki" dishes to tempt G-7 leaders
With world leaders set to gather in Hiroshima for May's Group of Seven summit, a food academy is aiming to make local favorite "okonomiyaki" pancakes a global hit with new twists that pay homage to member countries' cuisine.
I made a Beyond Burger and fries tonight for dinner.
A few weeks ago, TMM and I hit up the Book Barn in CT, a huge well, barn full of small buildings and LOTS of used books. Picked up two cookbooks for a buck each!
This one is full of simple dishes. They don't all feature Pillsbury products.
Got to try this one today. No pics of the one we made, it didn't last long enough. Definitely needs more sauce if you're eating it with pasta/rice/etc. Biscuits came out a bit doughy. Next time I'll double the gravy, heat the meatballs in a saucepan, and bake the biscuits separately. Taste was pretty good.

Whoa, whoa, I think you're burying the lede here...
A building full of smaller buildings? This, I wanna see!
