Big lizard!

 

Hi Natty!  Oh Honey, I don't really understand that post.  Those 2 little girls kind of look like you and your sister.  That's a nice doggy watching their backs.  My cats take care of bugs, small lizards and snakes that come into the house.  They were fighting tooth and claw for morsels of my sardine rolls that I had for lunch.  I have a song!  Check it out!  Kitty cat kitty cat meow meow meow!  Doggy woggy doggy woggy, bow wow wow!  What do you think?  It's a hit!  It's a hit!

Honey, I don't think you would ever get used to the big lizards here.  They are so common, they flourish here in the tropics, and they are HUGE!  No, I'm not the Lizard King!  I hate those things!  I've never been able to kill one.  I need a gun, and I need to carry the gun at all times.  There's been one skulking in my back yard for a few days already.  I figured out why it's there: further down the back yard by the old house there is a dead duck.  One of the neighbor's ducks.  I don't know what killed it, but it stinks like hell.

Legumes

 

Hi Natty!  Oh Natty, you're so beautiful.  I love you so much.  I wish we were together.  You are probably in that endorsement stage in life, and business is booming.  So get it while you can, my dear heart.  Please keep safe and healthy.

If you folks can get past the pig, then you can see how the French do their street food.  It doesn't look like street food, more like an open air takeout restaurant.  I'm sure the French have stalls out there, I'll look into it.  As for the food, it looks more British than French.  What with the bangers and potatoes and beans.  Beans always seem to come in a sauce, like chili or baked beans.  Lentils taste so much better when they're crunchy though.  So I tried an experiment for dinner: I deep fried the soaked lentils until they got crunchy, then drained the oil.  Fried up the steak then added the crunchy lentils in.  I spiced and salted it up, then garnished it with fried onions and sesame seeds.  That's the concoction below, steak and crunchy lentils.  It was a success.  Alhamdulillah.  There is however, a perception problem.  It doesn't need rice or bread, the legumes carry the role and weight of grain.  So even though it was a filling dinner, it had the umami of a snack.  Does that make sense?  Dammit, I need to buy more lentils.

Adventures in ramen

 

Hi Natty!  How are you feeling today, my beautiful Honey?  Are you being hounded by the fashion big wigs?  I hope you are having a splendid time over there, and having tons of fun.  Please keep safe and healthy.  I'm doing OK, the weather is still hot.  There was some rain in the middle of the night last night, which made for a cooler morning.  Good for sleeping in.

What do you think of Gordon's ramen?  He doesn't seem like a ramen kind of guy.  Vegetarian, he said?  I think his ramen is too busy.  We're all used to ramen being noodles, seasoning packet and water.  Gordon's ramen is the extreme opposite.  I might want to take a sip of the broth to find out how it tastes, but I wouldn't want to eat the whole thing.  The ramen I had for lunch was a bit on the busy side, too.  It's because of the okra: it was old (that's why it was on sale), so I had to slice it up into many thin slices as to be more palatable.  On the plus side, the slime inside the vegetable made a thicker broth.  The broth is salt fish and fermented miso based.  That's my home made fermented miso!  Alhamdulillah!  It's pure magic!  I find that salt fish makes the best ramen broth, because there's no need to use the seasoning packet.  There's usually some scum to clean up, but not today.  Also there's carrots, onion, garlic, chopped seaweed, the noodle brick and soft boiled egg at the bottom sitting on some soy sauce, and the usual glob of hot sauce on the fried onions.  I didn't eat any of the noodles in soup at yesterday's banquet.  I prefer my own cooking.  Knowledge from Allah is always the best.
