Five-spice powder acquired. Will use on my next stir-fry!

Meantime I also splurged on some whole milk, Kerrigold butter, and Oscar Wilde brand cheddar, to make kale colannon. That'll be a couple meals this week, now!

Five-spice, it is a winner. I fried up without any garlic or ginger to see how it is without those strong aromatics, just a bit of lemon juice, soy sauce, mirin, sushi vinegar, sesame oil. Very good. I expect rockets with ginger & garlic added.

My latest obsession is sushi. I've gotten pretty good at the rice, but without access to a fish market, only California, Philadelphia, and Crunchy Shrimp rolls for me.

It’s not the same, but you might find lox to be a reasonably satisfying substitute for sushi grade salmon. And it’s a LOT easier to find. Many groceries will sell it in their seafood departments, and even Sam’s and CostCo often have it as well.

Oh yeah, that's how I do my Philadelphia rolls. It's not bad.

I've also stated using canned crab + mayo for my Cali rolls, just for something different. Also because over COVID I suspect some of the imitation crab companies have cut corners. My crab has less flavor and is more starchy now.

I’m not the biggest fan of imitation crab. I’ve only enjoyed having it 2 ways:

1) seafood/“krab” salad
2) panko battered, fried, and served on skewers

The latter was how I was introduced to the product in the Japanese Pavilion at the 1984 World’s Fair in New Orleans. Right before the exit, they had a snack stand that had them on the menu. We had some, and IMMEDIATELY turned around to get more. By the last week of the fair’s run, that stand had its own line that was out the door.

For a while, they sold the sticks in stores. Man, I wish I could find those krab sticks in my grocery again.

Homemade chicken iskander tonight.



Kumara hummus with pumpkin seeds yum.



Beside the iskander, air fried coated chicken, salad, on pita with burger and hot habenero sauce.

Washed down with a German lager.

I think I'm going to try and seek this out. Hopefully it's better than what's sold now in my grocery stores.
