mini love - part 36

Whatever I buy there is work that needs to be carried out timely in case there is something wrong so to not miss the return window.

slow braised red grouper in sake 紅燒紅石斑 - part 2

I went back to 99 Ranch Market to buy more of the red grouper steak. Actually the title of this post is misleading as I took no photo of the second pot of slow braised red grouper in sake.

mini love - part 35

A few more cheap thrill toys for the Mini arrived. The parts that I procured for the Mini are piling up. Many of these would not be installed until Spring.

fried smelts

This is so delicious. I just fried up a handful of these smelts. The hard work is cleaning the tiny fish of their guts and a much gill as feasible. I just drudged them lightly with dry flour and on the went into hot oil. I first fried them in small batches. Then I fried them the second time all together. Once they are crispy just sprinkle salt and pepper and they are delicious. More delicious than the typical fried farm raised shrimps not to mention that much healthier. I think this is a $0.99 snack.
