spam and mangos

been pretty busy lately. shrimp marinated in curry powder, preserved lemon, wine. (tasty!) diced zucchini and eggplant, onions, tomato sauce, curry power, tons of smushed garlic, don't remember what else. leftover insipid seafood paella (where that giant shrimp is from).





fried lower sodium spam on toast, a mango. crazy tasty.



some really weird tasting green beans, onions, eggplant, XO sauce. *note to self--lemons not good in that* roasted pork back ribs. rosemary, garlic, honey, olive oil, vinegar, salt/pepper. bland. needed longer and stronger marination than half an hour.



i've been eating watermelon every day for over a week. can't get enough of the stuff. but a change in dessert once in a while isn't bad. that night, we had pita bread toasted with garlic/salt/pepper/olive oil, canned Manhattan clam chowder, XO sauce stircooked greenbeans. went out for desserts with claire (extraordinary desserts had an extraordinarily long wait. went to little italy instead.)--her strawberry napoleon was delicious. my tiramisu wasn't nearly as photogenic.
