Recent Foods: Bamboo Bundles, Bakery Fare, Restaurant Food, and Tugrik's Brisket

Continuing my exploration of food that I didn't cook myself... One from the 'Store-bought Foods' category, "Bamboo Bundles"; several delicious pastries (and one not so delicious) from bakeries, and a picture of tugrik's famous (or it should be) smoked brisket!

Cooking Experiments: Kung Pao Chicken/Tangerine Beef, and ChefMongoose-style Omelettes

You might recall from my other entry that I recently decided Chinese food was best cooked two entrees at a time. I decided the other weekend to continue that and selected 'Kung Pao Chicken' and 'Tangerine Beef' as my next Chinese meal.

So how'd I do?

FanimeCon 2015

Oh yeah, I guess I should give a rundown of FanimeCon, the Memorial Day con that dracosphynx and I went to on Saturday. (Sunday was tugrik's excellent barbecue)

Overall, it was pretty good. The con is *HUGE*. The artist's alley alone could have eaten two of Further Confusion's dealer rooms and had room for dessert. The dealer's room was bigger, but didn't seem that packed since they had wider-spaced aisles and bigger dealers' booths... Largely necessary because the dealers each had huge arrays of merchandise.
