  • Today marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11. I pray that this nation does not forget the loss of lives from this horrible event. Yesterday conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was murdered, and I worry about what is to come. Please love one another and your family in these trying times - Spark

What's that you're eating?

Catching up again . . .

A BLT with Onion Rings & a pint of Blind Pig at my favorite Sports/Dive Bar:

Next . . . a Chinese steamed bass redo at a restaurant that I like in Sacramento:

Only problem was that it wasn't entirely steamed either but wasn't as bad as the last one. Not having much luck with steamed fish lately. 🤷‍♂️

Going to make one on my own at home next. :cool:

Also ordered a plain dish of shitake mushrooms with bok choy & got this instead:

It wasn't bad but I could have done w/o any fried tofu & more shitake mushrooms. 🤷‍♂️

And lastly, an order of Bun Bo Hue at a Vietnamese restaurant that was new to me but wanted to try because they served Bun Bo Hue:

Problem is, they used a pork instead of beef shank & only included 1 blood cube in the bowl. :(

There obviously has been a HUGE gap between my expectations & the reality of my Asian restaurant experiences lately. 🤷‍♂️
 
Venison Backstrap, quickly seared then roasted.

Served up with loaded roasted and mashed potatoes and a quick savory sauce with prickly pear jelly. The doe no doubt ate prickly pear during her life, so I thought it fitting.

Venison Backstraps bring back so many delicious and fond memories from the past, each and every time I see it, thank you 🙏🏻❤️🍻
