Tofu Hunan Style

This picture has been taunting everyone I’ve sent it to via AIM, so I figured I’d post it here.
That’s tonight’s dinner, menu item 705, Tofu Hunan Style’ from the wonderful China Gourmet at 21 Mile and Hayes. Actually, this is one of two Chinese restaurants that I’ll eat at… The other is Gourmet Garden, who’s amazing ‘bean curd skin with mixed vegetables’ was detailed in this LJ post which appears to have both disgusted and enthralled.
Anyway, it was really tasty, and I ended up having it with a fortune cookie and a pint of my Vanilla Stout. Quite a nice dinner.
Oh, and in other food-related things, tonight I cleaned my dishwasher using this stuff my mom gave me, called Dishwasher Magic. It’s a citric acid blend in a bottle, with a wax cap which melts to let it out. Well, my dishwasher is porcelain inside, so while it didn’t have a bunch of build-up, there were still mineral deposits on the metal parts and such.
Well, after using it, the trays roll a whole lot better. I can only imagine this is how it worked when brand new, back in 1991 or so. The washing mechanisms have always worked well, now it’s just cleaner and it rolls better.
Also, check out the Footie candy bar, as seen at Meijer. With a misogynistic message akin to it’s brother bar Yorkie, this bar exclaims NO WENCHES ON THE BENCHES.
Ahh… And to round out the evening, I finally put a IBM Model M in the car. This one was made in 1995 and should work just great… I just wonder how my coworkers will take it. Now, all I need is a Model M equivalent for my G5 here at home.
Hate? Man, sorry, no… That’s just how it is!
(Strangely, I was wishing that I had some here to do dishes and laundry while I work on some projects…)
Hmm, that’ll be interesting… I’ll have to keep going to this place normally, though, as it’s just good and they’ve been around for a while.
Recently in Cincinnati I purchased a six pack of the new Vanilla Porter from the Detroit based Stoney Creek brewing company (broken website here), hoping for a beer that was similar in character to your vanilla stout.
I was sorely disappointed. For one thing, the level of beer in each bottle was different. Some were at the level one would expect, some barely full up to the neck. I was amazed that the bottling was so inconsistent (we did take a photo, but not with my camera, so I’ll have to wait for evidence).
And the taste, well. It was okay.
But I have to say that your beer is far more successful.
Thanks very much. :)
I paid a dollar each. It was sold at an independent convenience store with a considerable beer selection. Being in Cincinnati, the store owner may not have heard if there was a recall. Or, possibly, it would have been too much damn trouble to send it all back when the majority of his customers only buy cases of Nati Light to carry to parties across the street.
At any rate, it’s good to knwo it wasn’t just me.
I’m thinking of making up some more beer this Saturday… What do you think of maybe a coffee stout?
Coffee stout sounds great. (I’m a big fan of Bell’s Java Stout.) Coffee and beer together: how can one go wrong?
