Nice! ^^^

 

Quince and prosciutto salad with a honey-prosseco vinaigrette.

 

Josh that salad looks good. Sounds like honey prosecco dressing would be good.

 

That salad looks so delicious!!

 

Omg why did I come to this thread BEFORE dinner? Now I'm STARVING!

Grabs left over sammich from lunch to snack on.

Speaking of which, Harris Teeter has a sub that comes with:

1. Roast chicken breast
2. Sliced steak (think steak and cheese type meat)
3. Bacon
4. Banana peppers
5. Lettuce
6. Tomatoes
7. Salt and pepper
8. Chipotle pepper sauce

And it's very tasty... 3.99 for the 6 inch

 

^ oh, yum.... and a good price!


We went out to get Korean food for dinner. The place is newish, called Spoon and it's in Berkeley CA. The same people own another place called Bowl'd in Albany, which offers some alcohol, a somewhat bigger menu as well as slightly higher prices. I love both places and almost always get the BBQ (usually spicy pork) with the awesome million little yummy side dishes, banchan. I didn't ever have Korean food or Vietnamese food growing up. When I graduated and moved out to CA, I learned what I'd been missing!

I literally remembered to take these photos just for TW. Haha!

 

DAMN, good lookin food. That makes me hungry!

 

Oh, it looks like apparently my phone was drunk for that first one. It's a shame bc the kim bap rolls were so pretty (they had tons of brightly colored veggies) as well as delicious. I'll have to go back during daylight hours and order them again, just for photo purposes. Damn.

 

Mmmmm those pics makes me miss my moms home cooking!! I'm Korean and grew up in So. Cali so I know all about that stuff, haha. That bibimbap looks awesome and so does all that banchan!!

 

Some bibimbap I had the last time I was in Cali a few months ago.

 

Oh yum! And your pic looks much more appetizing!

I'll mail you some of it, but no guarantees you'll appreciate that package when it arrives. Hmm.

There is a greasy spoon joint here in Oakland where you can get a spicy pork and kim chee omelet. Or get a bowl of the spicy pork over kim chee with a sunny side up egg on top. I never would have eaten any of it ten years ago-- the variety and quality of food is one really good side to California. Plus the coffee's great and I don't ever have to shovel snow just to be able to get to work.

 

yummayyy

 

Korean? maybe you can explain something to me. i eat at a soft tofu joint..i love me some soon do bu jihge. love it. they always serve it up with a stone bowl of rice. (two lone peas on top)..they scoop out the rice, and then we let the rest just sizzle and get crisp. with the Korean diners, they move about and pour hot water (could be tea) into the bowls to make some sort of burnt rice slurry. they NEVER ask us if we want the water..

what gives? i would turn down the water because i like breaking chunks of crispy rice into my soup.

and do you think the dol sot bi bim bap is any better than the cold bowl version?

 

Not sure what they are adding to their bowls but its probably tea water which Koreans like to drink but not positive. Soon doobu is the bomb though!!

 

Snack sticks ready for the smoker Sunday. Bologna will be prepped tomorrow.

 

I do but it is on my other computer. I'll try and post a link tomorrow

 

Wife and I made this for 1 year old niece and nephew:

 

That is so great! Good work, and I bet they loved it!

 

well that's impressive
