Mamas Fish house in Paia for lunch. Think I will have the lobster guacamole, wasabi crusted calamari and wash it down with an Aloha B'ak'tun or maybe two or three!

I rotate in JellyBelly every few years for little gifts. The bamboozled jelly beans are the best. You could be eating peach, or vomit. It's the real deal......fun drinking game with all the whacked flavors.

For dinner it looks like it will be Peppercorn Seared Deep-Water Ahi steak with heart of palm-potato au gratin. I think I will start it off with a sashimi salad, some fresh oysters and a local brew!

[josie]

Too many Christmas cookies. Too. Many.

I'm sorry :(

You really should tell her to shower.

Thai red curry with couscous. Turned out a good bit hotter than I intended, but thanks to the interwebs and tahini paste it's still edible.

Drinking a Bedrock....Sambuca, Kahlua, and milk.....

[millbank]

homemade bread and cinnamon butter and because it the Christmas season Heiniken tall boys instead of Canadian.

Old Fashioned with Bulleit Rye and fancy Amarena cherries. So good, it doesn't even need ice.

[MattPie]

Two things, lately. Bought some Bulleit Bourbon (they were out of rye), makes a nice Rusty Nail (I'm trying to use up some year-old Drambuie). Also bought a bottle of Sage. It smells more "sagey" than it tastes, I get more of an Anise taste when drinking it.

OH MY GOD that's my favorite spot in Paris. I ate there every time I was around the Marais if I could.

 

There was a man with a large white moustache who worked there who would always try to sing "Pretty Woman" in terrible english/french to me and blow me a kiss as he gave me my falafel.

 

Never had a better falafel in my life.

Sudafed and Gin........

Inexplicably, I wanted a hot fudge sundae, and I had one. Maybe two. ###### it.

Insomnia needs carbs. So check this out: I took some leftover lo mein, sautéed it until nearly crispy in pure sesame oil, and right before it was done, threw a little pure cinnamon at it.

 

OMG amazing. Just trust.

Vegan Jambalaya, not bad. The main problem is I really needed to use a larger pot, the 4-qt was really full by the end. The meat dish was pork tacos in the slow cooker. Cool recipe, take some peppers (jalapeno, poblano, and habanero), blend them up with onion and oil. Cook the sauce for awhile, add broth, then dump that over 4 lbs of pork shoulder in the slow cooker for 5 hours. Mmmmm.

Interesting. The main flavor of jambalaya usually comes from the sausage. I assume creole seasoning replaced the andouille?

To be honest, I thought it came out more like paella than jambalaya. Thinking about the recipes, they're actually similar, which wikipedia confims: "It is also a close cousin to the saffron colored paella found in Spanish cuisine.". There was a bunch of spices that approximated the andouille (thyme, marjoram, garlic, etc.), but not as strong as what seeps out of the sausage.

Hey Eleven... I made some homemade lo mein for lunch. Actually, these were "Chinese noodles," quite a bit thinner than lo mein noodles. I heated up an ample amount of sesame oil, but not too hot. I suspect the smoke point is pretty low for it. I tossed in some red pepper flakes and got them infusing and then remembered you cinnamon suggestion. I have no idea what "pure" cinnamon is. All I have is the low-rent smack in the plastic container. So I sprinkled a light amount into the oil. That's what you do, right? Then tossed in the noodles and doused it with some soy sauce. I could taste a hint of the cinnamon. I like it and would add more next time.

Yeah, the low-rent smack in the plastic container. I meant as opposed to cinnamon sugar.
