Mewsyngs of an Upstart Feline Miscreant

I deleted a bunch of 'regular' food images but here are some of those that survived the cut:

Finally, pictures from ConJose, the WorldCon held in San Jose! I'd been meaning to post these for a while but fell ill for a bit, then never got around to it, as the backlog grew bigger and bigger. Aiee.

We started the day off getting there early so as to minimize problems with parking, so my notes assure me, with a "What If This Goes On" panel with Kaja Foglio and Harry Turtledove, and maybe a few other panelists. Then it was off to Johnny Rocket for lunch...

You may have heard me mention Curry House before - well, guess what, they had a special, curry ramen! (from now until end of June) While Jared and BoingDragon were out here, we headed down to Curry House to sample their offerings.

Okay, by popular request (one or two), it's time for a couple of recipes!

For Dracosphynx's purrsday (actually a bit later than that), I headed up to his apartment and we went to Chef Hung Taiwanese Beef Noodles for the noodles he had told me about!

Here's a good experiment! You might recall I'm a fan of Curry House's "keema curry" which is a mix of ground beef with various vegetables, on rice and served with a soft-boiled egg or fried eggs on top. I decided to try making much the same, but this time with chicken thighs to make the recipe slightly healthier.

It's been a few weeks of random food photos. Let's start with the food I didn't (strictly speaking) cook.

First off, we have a couple unusual "bread" items sold at a Taiwan bakery chain that has a few shops out here, 85C:

This was it, our last night aboard the Le Ponant. As noted in my last entry, we'd actually arrived in Naples last night so the ship wasn't rocking as much as it would have at sea, but I took half a sleeping pill to be on the safe side and get some sleep. We got up bright and early so that we could pack up our luggage-- they needed to be ready at the door at 7:30 AM.

On the downside, one of my suitcase's tiny TSA-approved locks had gone missing. My brother had advised me to take along an extra one or two-- I should have listened! Ah well. I used a bit of wire to secure the now-unlocked compartment.
