Gumbo from Neeto's for lunch...

Gumbo from Neeto's for lunch. I liked the jambalaya I had last week, so I thought I'd give the gumbo a shot. The flavor was pretty good, but it's way thinner than I like, and I thought the chicken was dry and kind of bland. Oh well. I'll have to make my own again. Penne pesto for dinner. I took the leftover pesto oil and made what I hoped would be a pesto paratha, but it really wasn't. It was like a straight paratha. Nothing special.

Leftover gumbo for lunch. Miso...

Leftover gumbo for lunch. Miso ramen for dinner with Michael at Tampopo. I finally got a taste of the bori-cha and chocolate chip ice cream I made two weeks ago. It wasn't bad (I say immodestly.) I gave the rest to my folks to take down to my sister.

Chicken and shrimp gumbo for dinner. It's a pretty good gumbo, but I'm still not completely happy with it. I didn't put any mushrooms in it, and I kinda wish I had. On the other hand, it was a little thinner than before, which I think worked out well. I'd like to experiment with different sausages.

Mediocre fish paste dumplings for lunch. I don't know what I was thinking. I thought when I was a kid, we'd make won ton with fish paste from the chinese market and I liked it fine. Maybe the fish paste isn't as good as it used to be. Or maybe my taste changed. Or my memory is playing tricks on me. Either way it's an experiment that I won't repeat again any time soon.
