Dinner with Sherry

My friend, not the dessert wine.

Fried eggs always look good on burgers if you ask me.

Spicy prawn tempura rolls on drizzled Sriracha. So NOT authentic, even the texture of rice was nowhere near passable as sushi rice. However, the crunch and the TASTE! Mmm... The big gobs of wasabi were a turn-on, i won't lie. Plus, it is true: Sriracha goes good with everything!

Not convinced? Check out one fan's enthusiasm.

Thai basil chicken, one of my faves. This time i followed a recipe from a trusted source, unlike when i winged it.

No doubt, when i use fish sauce that comes in a bottle labeled "Thai", it doesn't get any more authentic than that!

Another first!

The renowned Greek roe spread.

It took some courage. Even though i like tobiko (flying fish roe) on sushi, i find ikura (salmon roe) somewhat repulsive. It was iffy.

I'm happy to report: I like it!

V:
Has anyone commented on your new photos?

RJ:
Nope. Nobody likes me.

V:
Are you gonna go eat worms?

RJ:
No. People don't like me. But I'm still a gourmand.

[Upon seeing a third grade photo]
At what age did you start wearing glasses?

RJ:
First grade, when they tested my vision.

V:
Didn't that make you sad?

RJ:
No, they made me see.
