Amazing Discovery!


This may be juvenile but I'm pretty excited about a discovery I made today. While searching for local restaurants near to our (hopefully) home-to-be online, I struck gold.

Personally, I think such a discovery increases the value of our new home by like....at least a few thousand dollars, by merely being near to this wonderful place. So what is it?

An Asian market- but not just any Asian market, it's an Asian market that sells sushi grade meat! This is epic. This changes everything. This will enable and inspire us to make Japanese and Korean food like none other.

So keep your eyes open, because in less than 2 weeks, you should see some new and unique dishes!

Some Recent Meals!




In Transition

So- for the past week we've been living out of a hotel without access to a real kitchen, and no- the coffee pot on top of the microwave on top of the mini fridge doesn't count. So, while we're transitioning to our new home, I decided to upload some recent delicacies from our excursions in a new city!

Admittedly, we've eaten a lot of sushi and sashimi, but it's all been delicious!

Descriptions follow the pictures!

This is a "German chocolate hazelnut cheesecake."
This (above) is from the Lafayette brew company, a medium rare tuna steak rubbed in jerk seasoning. This is an order of "scotch eggs" (above) from a microbrew in Lafayette. Basically, these are hardboiled eggs caked in ground sausage & batter- then deep fried to perfection and served with a delicious sauce. This chocolate pyramid is from a delicious Asian place in Homewood, Illinois called: Asian Harbor. In fact, the following three photos are from the same place. A spicy roll from Asian harbor....amazing presentation, but a bit of a letdown.
