And in today's edition of things you don't see around here, an entire barbecued gator wrapped in bacon.
Anyone else doing this stupid crap? And before you ask: no, I'm not gonna post a video. This is just another expression of my morbid curiosity and possible latent masochism, which I will be indulging (along with two of my siblings) safely hidden from outside observation. #paquichips #onechipchallenge #fearthereaper #masochism #pain #selfdestruction #whatthehelliswrongwithme
Happy #Fridaythe13th! Who's hungry?
You know you're moving toward real Chinese food when you look at a menu and see things like this instead of General's Chicken or Crab Rangoon. The story goes that a long, long time ago there was an emperor, this emperor had concubines (as emperors are wont to do), and among those concubines was one who was very fond of a specific preparation for chicken. There are actually a number of different dishes that go by this name, so either history hasn't been kind to the original recipe, or a lot of Chinese concubines have been obsessed with particular chicken dishes over the years. Most of us will be buried by the sands of time, leaving no real mark on this world. A select few will leave a lasting legacy that endures for centuries, but sometimes that legacy is basically creating hooker chow. Food for thought I guess?
The Kahuna Plate from @pineappleexpress208, with Kalua pig, coconut shrimp, loco moco fried rice, and mac salad.

I hit a few different dumpling eateries on my most recent trip to Canada, and the one that surprised me the most was R&H Chinese Food, which is located in the food court of a mall that has probably seen better days. Despite the odd setting, their xiao long bao were the most flavorful, soupiest soup dumplings I've ever had. For the first time, I found myself using the black vinegar and hot oil to compliment and balance out the intensity and richness of the broth rather than using them just to add flavor in general. Definitely worth seeking out. . . . #randhchinesefood #richmondbc #richmondbceats #instafood #foodstagram #foodtography #britishcolumbia #dumplings #xiaolongbao #xlb #soupdumplings #dimsum
I'm so sick of scrolling through Instagram and seeing all these pics from "social media influencers" of their comped hotel suites and lavish room service spreads. I've been doing this for almost a decade, so where's MY free stuff? I mean, I'm not particularly young or attractive, I don't have a cute dog to come along on my adventures, and of course I don't have thousands of followers. So, I'd like to meet the Universe halfway and become the first upper-lower/lower-middle class influencer. Like my free hotel rooms would normally cost $100 or less per night. "Definitely one of my favorite places to stay at the Coast! The free cookies at the front desk are decent, and you can even see the Ocean from the windows if you stand on your toes and look over the brush. The rooms do sometimes kinda smell like my great-grandma's house, but nothing ever bites me in my sleep and there are never any pubes from the previous guests in the tub. Tag someone you'd like to share a stale Snickers from the mini-bar with!" #leftbehind #whynotme #youradhere #influenceforsale #influencethis #payme #gottagetmine #lowclassbutlowcost #justkidding #okaymostlykidding
This is what I was sipping on while writing today's blog post. I've never had the standard Cali Creamin' (which to be fair sounds like a movie that would have been kept in the back room in the video stores of my youth) from @motherearthbrewco, but just lately I've been a big fan of their Creamsicle variety. It takes their standard vanilla cream ale and adds orange to the party, but the important thing is the balance. Nothing is overwhelming, especially the sweetness which is perfectly controlled. This stuff has been a little hard to find, but I can tell you that as of yesterday they had it both on tap and in the pictured six packs at @fast_eddys, which is the best convenience store in the area by far. Check it out! #motherearthbrewco #nampaidaho #fasteddys #meridianidaho #calicreamin #calicreamsicle #creamale #dranks #hellomeridian #indulgeidaho
The B-pop cup from @cupbopidaho. Beef, rice, cabbage, glass noodles, sesame seeds, and your choice of spice level 1-10 (I believe this was a 4, but 5 is my favorite).
