food times
Is this strange?
I wanted to use what I had in the kitchen. So, I cooked the following in a skillet:
Jimmy Dean Spicy ground sausage
Tofu
Green Onions
Indonesian Sweet Soy Sauce
This tasted ok.
Then I added regular onions and 4 eggs.
I ate it with tortillas and habanero chili sauce + home made salsa. I thought about adding cheese, but refrained.
This tasted delicious.
I recognize the international aspects of my meal. I really didn't think too much about it when I was cooking it/eating it. But I told Frank about this and he commented on how eclectic it was. I guess every family has their customs/traditions that would seem unusual to other people. Sometimes it is just along ethnic/cultural lines. I share some habits with mid-western-born white people, some with Chinese-Indonesian people. I wonder how many hapa families have had meals like this:
Chinese BBQ pork made from scratch
Cabbage with bean curd noodles with Indonesian dried shrimp and soup
Homemade applesauce
Apple Cinamon tea served in a tea set hand carried from China
Because in my house, this is normal.

Sounds good to me!
the one time you had me over for dinner was awesome.
now we should totally conbime our efforts to make the most awesomest potluck... EVER!
whatcha doin this sunday?
actually, it sounded pretty good...the sausage, tofu, green onions, and soy sauce are pretty much a pretty standard mixture (in fact, it's almost mapo tofu; the habanero sauce and homemade salsa would also make it spicy so that it becomes even more like mapo tofu!)...i can see how the tortillas acted as a basic carb to tie the flavors together (along w/the tofu) so that the flavors from the sauces wouldn't overpower the palate...so when are you gonna cook for me? :o)
