Plate Lunch

Enjoyed my favorite type of meal in Hawaii, a plate lunch. Usually there are two scoops of rice, mayo-based macaroni salad, and fish or meat cooked in an Asian style.

Inhaling a Brownie

I ate the brownie in half the time it took to drink the cappuccino.

Japanese Candy

Hovered at the Japanese candy display at United Noodles, an Asian supermarket: one less reason to visit Japan. The KitKats are matcha-flavored, and are rather fine.

A Corner of Japan

Paused preparations for our upcoming home move to seek comfort (food) at our local Japanese restaurant, Zen Box Izakaya: tonkotsu ramen. NHK (Japanese television) was showing a segment about cleaning airport toilets. “It’s good to think of others,” declared one of the cleaners.

First Lunch of 2019

Surly Furious and Summit EPA (local brews) plus Reubens. Lunch at our local (Maxwell’s), New Year’s Day 2019.

Christmas Food, UK-Style

Enjoyed Christmas pudding, ice cream, and whipped cream. Later we had Christmas cake which a friend made in the UK and managed to get through customs.

Hazel’s

On a Nordeast Minneapolis walk with a friend, stopped into Hazel’s for a caloric brunch. Top-notch food, and art that demanded attention.

Marmalade Run

Cycled over to Lunds & Byerlys to stock up on marmalade. My rules for marmalade are simple:…It doesn’t have “jelly” or “spread” on the label…Made with good, old-fashioned sugar (no other sweeteners)…You can’t read through it…Enjoying the marmalade requires chewing.
