So the lady texted me yesterday and said don't worry about dinner. I'm making it tonight. She gets home with a bag of chips, some cheese, can of olives, etc... and makes Nachos. Now being the good supportive partner that I am I just said "Oh great sounds good". But inside I was saying to myself "Are you kidding me?" Nachos are a snack not a dinner. But I kept my mouth shut, smiled, and ate. I ended up making myself a fried egg sandwich later claiming I hadn't eaten much all day. The nachos just didn't take. Tonight I'm making meatloaf and mashed potatoes. I need more than a snack for dinner.

Chicken premarinated with shoarma (shawarma) seasoning from turkish supermarket. Cumin, paprika, cardamom, clove ground coriander amongst others. Great in abundance on real shawarma from a rotary grill but this one needs some help.

Found Koningsvogel (“Kingsbird”) in nearest grocery store.

Not pictured is bottom row with ketjap manis, sweet soya sauce from Indonesia. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t own a bottle of that.

Tomorrow I’m going to a toko (indonesian /asian grocery store) to do some shopping.

Let’s see if the new neighbors can handle trassi (paste of ground shrimp fermented in the sun).

Like anchovy paste, I’m sure it’s an acquired taste.
Depends a lot on how you use it. Just a small amount pan-fried with onions and garlic is used as the foundation for various Indonesian dishes. It’s known for both its pungent smell before/while sauting and its delicious effect after its done. I read it’s used in salads or soups too but never tried nor do I plan to.

Just got back from two tokos and the turkish grocery store again. I love that place. They cater to middle east, asian and surinamese community. I got trassi from Indonesia, ginger, laos, atjar tjampoer, sweet-salt ketjap, piment from Jamaica, Madame Jeanette peppers, and a bunch of other stuff. And some baklava. No time for cooking today though :/

Also dying to try this

Mammoth spring skiing is epic. Parking lot partying till sundown
60* bluebird on the mountain.
F’n hard n fast in the morning
Soft killer slop by noon
Spring skiing is always the best. We like to bring a grill up or use one that's stashed up there....so it's ski in, ski out bbq. Usually a bunch of people. Everyone brings great food and it's basically a "see you in six months" party lol

Oh I enjoyed seeing this! My second choice for Sambal Badjak was the Conimex but it was more ‘twiggy’ than the Koningsvogel brand. Thanks! I’ve only used Thai brands of Shrimp Paste. I’ve never used Trassi, are they different?
