What's Cooking?

Speaking of dads, my son sent me a text saying he might be moving back in. Told him there would be some rule changes and $100 a month rent  

Had S&M last weekend for our 34th anniversary. I had blackened Mahi Mahi with shrimp sauce, on top of shrimp fried rice. She had grilled shrimp and scallops over the same rice. Had some fried green tomatoes topped with crab, mozzarella, and parmesan as an appetizer. Best thing about the fried green tomatoes is they were actually fresh and not frozen. We have a couple of higher end places around here that use frozen breaded tomatoes.



Good luck with the son and you should make it $200 a month. Been there doing that and got the t-shirts...LOL

I've got the t-shirt also...2 of them... I second the upcharge and encourage rule changes that are even a bit assholish.

I would prefer my children stay at home until they are truly ready to leave the nest..



There are less likely to move back home as adults that way.

Tonight is left over homemade Mac n cheese, sushi from yesterday and some sliced steak my mommy gave me.  And I bought these mini cooler samplers.

Went out with friends tonight to a new Japanese place in town.  Teriyaki salmon, bento box.  Very good eats for around here, very generous portions.  I'll be having the leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

Oh man that sounds SOOOOO good!!! I've never had mahi mahi, but heard it was real good. And fried green tomatoes!!! Love those! Have you ever grilled 'em? I like that even more than fried. No breading on the grill though, I just brush 'em with olive oil and some garlic salt.



Thanks man lol, he hasnt said much since I told him about the rule changes (TBD) and the rent. Honestly I thought about 200 at first, but I know hes paying out a lot on bills already. I took him off my insurance this past winter, which doubled his payment to 200. He got a another ticket, and I said he was off lol. Also paying on a car, phone and credit card. I figured if I made it a lil cheaper on him, it might help him get his own place sooner. Tried telling him him and a few friends THAT WORK should go in on renting a house. That it would be a start.

Believe me, he wont like the rule changes. They are gonna be a lil bit assholish lol. They will help encourage him to move out again if he does decide to move in here after hearing the rules lol.







I might split the difference based on what y'all saying, and do $150, we see lol. Right now its still up in the air if he is.

Around here there are some truly authentic Japanese restaurants, but often many 'Japanese' restaurants are actually owned and operated by Chinese, which in this case can raise the issue of authenticity...

Well, there's that.  The best Chinese joint in town is owned and operated by a Laotian.

I don't think running a Chinese restaurant is a bad gig...  The ingredients necessary cannot cost must from a wholesaler...  Noodles and rice are cheap.  The markup and profit margins must be pretty decent.

You could say that about any restaurant that sells bread, buns and canola oil.

I always starve myself before going to a chinese restaurant lunch buffet..



Keeping the Kung Pow chicken and chinese ox-wok trays steadily empty.







10 bucks per customer..



If all were like me, the business would go under.

Pork, beef, chicken and fresh vegetables are not cheap.

I can guarantee the average Chinese restaurant does NOT use fresh vegetables.



And meat and poultry may not be dirt cheap, but really they're just throwing a few small chunks of questionable quality meat and poultry in there...

Fresh is the only way we eat.



White food is fucking cheap. All artificial ingredients nobody can spell and never seen a farm.
