My first sourdough loaf from a "from scratch" starter:

ps. I'm baking a loaf every day as I won't be happy until I've mastered the sourdough process.

That looks good, I've never made bread before. Nice job with the yeast. How did this one turn out?

You still in Honolulu?

 

[salami]

Saimin bowl in Honolulu. Having never had saimin before, I asked the lady what it was. Fortunately, there was a couple sitting within a few feet of me that realized that my conversation with the hostess would not go anywhere because of my... inability to speak Japanese and her inability to speak English. He recommended the hamburger to accompany the saimin.

Saimin is a flour noodle (made on the premises) served in a shrimp broth with cabbage, ham, bbq pork and K-rab pieces. With the addition of some red pepper flakes, a dash of soy sauce and a little hot mustard, it was AMAZING. In addition, the hamburger was one of the best I've ever had. Nothing fancy; bun (buttered) meat, catsup and mayo. The meat was fantastic. If I had to guess I'd say it was about 25% pork and 75% beef.

Best meal since being on the island.

Left Hi and back in San Diego. I have family in HI and that's where I'm from so I visit every year.

Saimin in Hawaii= Ramen with a mix of the other asian noodle soup styles. Good stuff.

Haven't tried Crest Cafe yet, the parking right there is a PITA. I usually go to Hash House-a-go-go or Brians American Eatery for breakfasts.

Cool pics, Fisch!

My father's uncle was a chef and an alcoholic. rolleyes:

But anyways, he always would say, it's not just about how a dish tastes, but how it looks. It needs to look like a work of art in order to be a dish and not just a meal.

Something like this illustrates that.

It's an odd looking dish, but you can just begin to taste it by looking at it.

One expression comes to mind: The eye eats first. So true.

thought you were gonna post pics of the food you make at home, not of what you ordered in restaurants.

 

[Fisch]

post what you want, I take pics of both but as a bachelor, I don't usually post pics of the food I make at home as it's less about presentation.
