food pics
This is just a few food pics. I was going to say "nothing special" but that wouldn't be right. Food should be treated with respect even if it's a simple dish. There are so many that go hungry every day.
I had Vietnamese food the other night, thin rice vermicelli with spring rolls
and grill meats.
I got some fish from The Healthy Butcher. Yes, they do sell fish.
Now I can't remember what fish this is but I think this is rainbow
trout? I did a quick pan fry and served it over red rice. I'm just
experimenting with different types of rice.
This is pickerel that I poached in a chicken stock along with
carrots and a bit of ginger. I served it over soba (buckwheat) noodles
with the chicken stock.It was actually quite good. The stock was something I made
when I poached some chicken in a stock of celery, onions and ginger.
After the chicken was cooked, I deboned the chicken, threw the bones
back into the poaching liquid, simmered again and got some chicken
stock for a couple of meals.

Yum!
I would post pictures of my taco from taco bell, but I wouldn't want you to be jealous.
I so need to try Viet food...haha
Vietnamese food I have not experienced. Thai has become one of my favorites. Yummy dishes would enjoy them I am sure.
Looks yummy!

@JL789 - thanks
@CareyGLY - lol... I don't think I've ever been to a Taco Bell.
@oxyGENE_08 - oh you must! I know you'll like it.
@Fatcat723 - I'm sure you'll enjoy Vietnamese food.
@TheCheshireGrins - thank you.
@kunhuo42 - odd, the pictures are still there. It must be related to that server maintenance they did.
@yang1815 - they are there - must be fallout from the maintenance activities.
@Yamashow - they were yummy.
@twentyse7enn - mmm.... I love that and the rice dishes, the rolls, the soups, oh yeah.... I'm hungry again.
@TheBigShowAtUD - good food is indeed special - thank you for visiting.
I don't know what is going on with my computer Matt, I cannot see any of the pictures. This has happened to me in other blogs also.
chicken is so versatile... we buy from costco and it can feed three of us for almost half a week... first just the meat, alone or sandwiches, etc... then the bones for stock, in which we drink the soup then make porridge...
Oh, Vietnamese food. Yum. Several of the Vietnamese restaurants I've been to here seem very "Thai-ized" in their flavors. But I hear that there is an ethnic Vietnamese community in the old city that holds a market every Sunday. I'd like to find it and try the food. Or else I'm flying back to Saigon for a few meals.
Is that buckwheat soba in the last photo? That looks very delicious and healthy! I agree very much with your first statement regarding respecting the food we ate.
the viet dish is one of my favourite dishes.
all the food you have shown here is incredibly yummy.
you're right, many people in the world starve to death. a few days ago, i tried to do this detox program.. i only stuck with it for one day.. because only drinking the detox drink made me realise how wonderful food is - it is something i look forward to every day. even the smell of bread bought in the store made me long to eat it.
@ElusiveWords - I'll keep trying.
still my food porns are much better hahaha
@lcfu - I have to concede that point.
@kunhuo42 - I couldnt see the pictures neither..Mine did that too
.
@ElusiveWords - Vietnamese cuisine..okay..never tried..
