its what's for dinner

[MauserLarry]

Just to switch it up Larry since dinner was left overs I documented a thrifty breakfast sammich I made this morning. Stale wheat bread I needed to use, and the star was Hickory Smoked Spam. Bread, spam, sharp cheddar off the block, and one egg. Simple, but SO good!

Ray-after all this time I finally found a can of the Hickory smoked Spam in Natchez MS. There was only one can there and this was the first one I’ve found. Now I’ve got to find a chance to make your masterpiece.

Wasn't much. Just some leftovers. Smoked bbq chicken quesadilla

kimchee jigae?

Close, hard to tell with boiling pot but it is KimChee Soup with Beef. It stoked her desire for her favorite soup, and we drove to Fort Walton and had lunch at Kim's Korean so she could get some good Yukgaejang. That is a traditional spicy beef soup with vegetables traditionally made with beef brisket.

EDIT: Here is the spread at Kim's, wife's soup, and my favorite - yaki mandu. Their fried pork and veggie stuffed fried dumpling is the best I have ever eaten!

What is that last picture, Ray?

 

[RackinRay]

Korean fried won ton, or yaki-madu. Best Korean version of a fried dumpling I have ever eaten, despite many trips to S. Korea! Pork and veggies in a wrapper....Awesome!

 

[stage20]

Is this home cooked or at a restaurant?

 

[RackinRay]

Restaurant, Kim's Korean at 99 SE Beal Pwk Ft Walton Beach. They buy them frozen from Atlanta. Wife won't let me buy a case of the pre-made yaki mandu from them...but I STILL want to!

 

[stage20]

Bit far for me, far for you too unless you moved lol. Is the food that good or do you have family out that way?

 

[RackinRay]

There is not a good Korean place any closer. We used to go more often, and likely will in the future.st

EDIT: When I say they have the best yaki-mandu, I am NOT talking locally. I have eaten it during many trips to Seoul South Korea, and it IS the best I have ever had! That alone is worth the drive to me.

Speaking of out of the way places, pounders haiwiian grill is excellent. I've been to the one in Crestview, there was another supposed to open up in niceville. Big portions of food for the money and it's delicious.

Hawaiian moco loco, for sure brah!

Wife wanted beef stew, so beef stew it is!

Beef simmering in gravy

Wife added too many veggies, called for 3 cups she had to have added 3 cups of carrots alone!

Had to thicken it and tweak beef base to compensate for all the veggies, but it was great for breakfast and lunch again today!

Moco loco inspired breakfast this morning
