Hey look! The NYC Cravings truck is recommended by Midtown Lunch My order of “porken” – if you request “porken” you receive both a piece of chicken and a piece of pork for the regular price. w00t! Love good deals! They’d run out of rice by the time I got there but the girl working there was kind enough to scoop every last bit of rice out for me, which turned out to be enough. Mixed with the pickled mustard greens and hey, look- a tea egg (bottom right)! – it was really good and I was really full. I [...]

I admitted last time that I’d never had the “infamous” pork chop over rice when I wrote about NYC Cravings. It’s mostly because I quit eating pork for a number of years after an unfortunate food poisoning incident (I was laid out for an entire week; at the time, I was quite underweight already and lost another 15 lbs, and managed to turn this green color, unable to eat, unable to hold down any fluids, even, and as I’d just dyed my hair red the week before… well, I was this lovely green&red color. It was awful!), but also because [...]

“What is THAT?!” you’re probably screaming at your monitor right now. If not, you should start, ‘cuz I’m about to rock your sandwich-world, baby. A short while back, I posted on Facebook that I’d “accidentally” bought 10 pork chops. (They were just under a dollar cheaper per lb. if you bought 3+ lbs.; I wanted 2-4 pork chops and figured 3 lbs. couldn’t be that many more, right? I didn’t realize pork chops individually were so light!) James of The Eaten Path wrote, “Pork chop sandwiches!!!” with a link. A link that would change my life forever, and it will [...]
L&L Hawaiian Barbecue

L&L has been on my to-try list for ages, but let’s face it – if there’s anything you should have realized about me & this blog by now, it’s that restaurants get put on that list and stay there practically forever unless a friend wants to eat there. (This is mostly because despite what people may think… I really don’t go out to eat often at all, and I don’t spend a lot of my paycheck, especially on eating out. Yeah, I know! I just don’t.) Most of the places I visit are with friends – eating is a social [...]

I told you I would make this, and I finally did. And it was fan-f*cking-delicious. Yeah, it was that good. I hasten to add once again, this is by no means a definitive recipe, nor is it “authentic” or even what you might like. I liked it. You might not. But seriously it was good. REALLY GOOD. Slightly sour/vinegary, a nice kick to it, creamy in texture from the tofu, and really, when piping hot and eaten plain or over a scoop of white rice… absolutely perfect, soothing to my very core, warming me up. (This week, not so much; [...]
