work day

Im been kinda busy lately so my blogs been lacking on interesting things about food.

Every Saturday my boss goes to China town before opening up the store. Normally he brings pastries, dumplings, noodles, char siu, or chicharron. He asked what I wanted the day before and I requested for jook. Jook is a rice porridge dish that basically you create, and by that I mean you can pretty much add whatever meat or ingredient you want. My boss wanted to try something new before and bought it with meat balls, liver, intestines, and sometimes tripe. I liked it and it wasn't weird or anything because I ate animal insides in dishes like dinuguan, commonly know as "chocolate meat." What made it better today was that the weather permitted it, it was gloomy and pouring rain. He also got other things. The noodles remind me of the manapua days where Id drown them in their shoyu/hot sauce mixture. Another new thing was the dumpling which had mushrooms, pork, carrots, and bitter melon.
