I don't have an image but this one is worth a share purely from a curiosity / oddity...  The better half and I went to try a Puerto Rican Chinese restaurant for lunch yesterday.  The place was packed.  Too funny and pretty good.  

I had some sweet spicy chicken dish with mofongo on the side (very garlicky plantain mash dish with pork cracklings in there).  Better half had some tofu dish with tostones (green fried plantains...very garlicky).  They used silken tofu which was different.

Having been born and raised in Miami it actually felt pretty normal being there...LOL

Cuban Chinese restaurants are pretty common but I haven’t seen this variation. Sounds tasty

I'm going to start my own fusion restaurant. Eskimo/Italian. 

Muktuk pasta anyone?

Uncharacteristic Blue skies

in the Victorian splendor that is Leeds,

so time to share a bacon, and sausage sarnie.

It hit the spot!

While I can't say it's the most exciting erection I've come across, it is quite interesting. 

Some Malaysian fare with the better half at Houston's PHAT Eatery.  They have a roti starter that's pretty special.  Malaysian curries do nothing for me so I ordered some pepper beef dish and the wifey some tofu noodle something or another.

We went to a Mexican joint last night that's famous for how they cook whole cabrito (baby goat...).  The charro beans are so good here...solid Thai joint in the same strip center (shopping).  Funny story:  this rustic joint...is not much to look at made it to the NY Times top 50 this year....I have no clue, but it is one of many a solid Mexican joint in Houston.

The wifey had an epiphany and we stopped into Diversion for some craft cocktails on the way home.  Always a fun stop if we can sneak in w/o a reservation.  The foamy concoction clearly looks like a tiki drink but crafted with agave spirits so nice and smoky.  The edibles (on the drink tray...LOL) were entertaining and dessert like tasty.

When your hometown is the "Birthplace of Radio" ("Wireless"),

And a local jam maker is by royal appointment,

You know what that calls for.

Is the jam on top of the crem on one of those and under it on the other? Pick a side.

Yes.

Well ...

If I picked a side, how would I justify that "further research is required" ?

Fish and chips, (with mushy peas)

(And colorful salad)
