Friday Dinner, Peking Beef. This came out fantastic! It took me right back to old Peking. I used London Broil for my meat. It velveted nicely, but was a bit chewy. Needed more time in the marinade. The dish had some nice spice, but was also sweet and sour. I halved the recipe (attached).

Anyone know what this is going to be? It is in the Bayshore Gardens Shopping Center on the Publix side. It isn't the Chick Fil-A. It's by the TJ Maxx.

Homemade... Black Bean Garlic Chicken with String Beans. Potstickers for a appetizer (Costco Beef Mandu)

LATAFFA MAAHIR LEGACY REVIEW

This building is being built next to the Publix that is going up in Bayshore Gardens in Bradenton. Could this be a Publix Liquor store? There are permits issued for a new outparcel and other for a liquor store but the liquor store permits are really specific.

Tonight dinner is one of my fails. It all looks good but the flavor didn't wow me. It's beef with peppers, onions and celery. I spiced it buy adding some chopped jalapeno. It just lacked something. It was also too spicy for me. Maybe that overpowered it and I should have just used some dried peppers

Do you refrigerate soy sauce after opening the bottle? Help me settle a debate with my girlfriend...

What's your favorite soy sauce? I really like Kimlan because it has a nice umami flavor and less sodium. For a low sodium I love Lee Kum Kee. I don't care for the regular Lee Kum Kee. There is something really astringent about it. It a little to sharp. I also like Kikkoman but that's too easy.

[Homemade] Pulled Pork Sandwich

Confession. I have never had Mongolian Beef. Tonight was the night! I got a new vintage Chinese cookbook and there was a recipe from The Mandarin Inn which was on Pell Street in NYC Chinatown. It was my favorite restaurant and my parents and I went there for dinner when I graduated college in 1980.

If anyone wants to try some of my Chinese recipes I made a shareable file in Google. Download if you want.

Tried a new restaurant. Sichuan House. My wife and I got the Kung pao chicken, General tso chicken, and a cauliflower and pork hot pot. Absolutely amazing.

Advice

My wife and I are sick today. Crawled to the grocery store and bought a few things. Marinated catfish, tofu, chinese sausage, fish cake, mushrooms, watercress and noodles.

Ask me anything!

From a 1970 grade school tour of the US Capitol, I kept the House of Representatives Restaurant menu.

Any suggestion to my collection

From what I understand, dinner at the Paris Inn in Los Angeles was quite the evening. What would you order?
