My sister lived in Bar Harbor for a while and it cracked me up that Mc Donalds there (well, in Ellsworth, as there is no McD in Bar Harbor) had lobster rolls on the menu.

Cleaning lady coming at 11:30, so late lunch (and light, don’t want to mess up kitchen)

So wanted a heavy breakfast. Made a quesadilla (for lack of a better word)

Two Keto/Low carb wraps. Humus, Potlagel (Romanian Baba ghanoush - made by wife), sauteed spinach and mushrooms, Swiss. I need to brand it - so good.

That does sound yummy.

I’ve long thought I hated instant ramen. Turns out, I really like it! At least, I like this kind, with a healthy dollop of gochujang and black vinegar. I eat it most days lately!

And no, I don’t intend to continue eating it this often, I’m aware of the sodium content.

I had to grab something, so went with Panda.

My local grocer has a pretty healthy amount of international foods (I mean, I’m in Kansas, so maybe adjust expectations accordingly). The Asian section has about a half-dozen brands of ramen and Nongshim is my favorite. Speaking of, I need to see if they sell the black vinegar you recommended.

We eat it somewhat regularly but we have a ramen place in town that we also love, and we get that a fair amount.

If they have black vinegar, it’s likely to be gold plum; it’s the most popular brand!

I just finished reading this Japanese book called

The Kamogawa Food Detectives. The chef made this dish for someone called tonkatsu. I mistakenly thought it was the ramen broth that I like. Turned out it was deep- fried pork cutlets. The broth is called tonkotsu. One vowel change and we have two different dishes

I suppose you can make a tonkatsu and put it over a tonkotsu ramen dish.

I’m hungry now.

didn’t bring a lunch so i went to the school cafeteria (which is pretty good by school cafeteria standards) … spicy chicken sandwich today; pretty slammin actually :fork_and_knife_with_plate: (the tater tots on the side were just meh)

(…and yes, if you have first lunch, your ā€œlunchā€ is at 10:14 :sob: so it’s more like second breakfast)

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. When you’re in PEI, it’s actually perfectly legal to have lobster for two meals a day. Imagine that, there’s literally no laws against it.

Pizza, it’s been a while, my closest pizza joint sells a 10ā€ pie and a drink for $6.75. One of the best deals in town.

I attempted some marinated eggs, I used this recipe and it smells very good. Will see in another two hours how they turned out, with my ramen lunch.

Wut? A marinated egg? Never heard of such a thing.

I really need to up my ramen game.

Lunch for me was supposed to be a couple slices of pizza. Then my son dropped in and of course makes a beeline for the fridge, and there goes lunch.

Marinated eggs are what made me a ramen fan. When we get ramen from restaurants here I’ll add in 3+ eggs. Really elevates the game.
