What's that you're eating?

Next up . . .

A dozen blue point oysters & a 1/2 rack of ribs (and an egg roll & a pile of rice) for lunch at an American-Chinese place (ie., more American than Chinese to suit the clientele) that I go to occasionally on the Sacramento River . . .

The oysters were great but the ribs were a little bit too chewy. I make them better at home. 🤷‍♂️

Next up . . .

Some crab cakes & another Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich but this one came w/a side salad instead & 2 pints of Racer 5 . . .

The crab cakes were great -- real crab & not much filler but I could have done w/less sauce. Must have Philly Cheese on the brain. The 2nd Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich was ok but the other 1 was better. 🤷‍♂️
 
Next up . . . eggs!

With all of the talk about the shortage of eggs due to bird flu, I was worried that there wouldn't be any eggs available when I went to my local Costco yesterday. Not to worry . . . they had stacks of them piled up chest high . . .

I just bought a flat of 5 dozen & now have 8 dozen in my frig . . .

BTW, these are the best prices I've seen for eggs anywhere in my area.

And next, a whole 2# Hamachi (Amberjack) that I bought at a Filipino market after I finished shopping at Costco that I froze for later consumption after gutting, prepping & vacuuming sealing it myself . . .

It was on sale for only $1.99/#.

And lastly, a bowl of Pig Tail Soup that I made from some pig tails that I bought at the same Filipino market where I bought the Hamachi . . .

There are just 5 ingredients . . . pigtails, black eyed peas, dried dates, salt & water . . . & it's delicious. This market use to just charge 99 cents/# for pigs tails which is all they are worth but have raised the price for them several times to $4/# now which is 2x more than the fish cost. :rolleyes:

Anyway, I'm been making this dish for decades. My mother taught me the recipe. Don't knock it if you have never tried it. 😉
