Shishito tempura 3. Gindara munieru 4. Yakiniku kochijan pizza 5. Lychee soy milk sorbet (at Gochi Japanese tapas Mountain View) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5E-q05DFIk/?igshid=1lgq74s3bsmdv

IT’S SNOWING. IN LAS VEGAS. I HAVE OFFICIALLY LIVED IN A PLACE WHERE IT HAS SNOWED. XD Sorry, this is exciting as a kid that grew up in the Bay Area. I’ve SEEN snow in the Sierra Nevadas but never lived in a place that snowed. So far, people are driving okay but I do hear sirens. =X https://www.instagram.com/troublemancer/p/BuIbeIEHasw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19vhnsfdqwl12

Peanut butter cookies made using boxed yellow cake mix ( https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/10457/elaines-peanut-butter-cookies/ ) because got a case of chunky peanut butter in the @smithscommunity case sale. Used an extra egg (as I have mediums), milk, added in a teaspoon of vanilla extract, a bit of cinnamon and gave the dough balls a roll in granulated sugar and cinnamon. I was never a huge fan of peanut butter cookies because the peanut butter taste would be so overwhelming but with the yellow cake mix and cinnamon added, these were pretty damn delicious and enjoyable. Trying to pace ourselves in eating them but it ain’t easy.

Parentals were in town for their anniversary but wanted to meet up for catch up dinrawr. Went representing Marvel because finally caught up on the MCU movies and daaaamn Infinity Wars. But anyhoo, went to @oodle_noodle_lv and had agedashi tofu, hamachi/yuzu/pepper carpaccio, takoyaki, ikayaki, vanilla panna cotta with earl grey caramel sauce, (not pictured) tempura don, edamame and salmon/avocado don. Pretty good eats, love the button to call waiter and want to go back to try some of the noodle dishes some time. A bit sad that Cocokala closed down though, enjoyed the eats I had when I came with my pops and stepmom. #food #foodporn #nom #noms #nomnom #nomnoms #nomnomnom #omnomnom #lasvegasfood #lasvegaseats #lasvegasoffthestrip #oodlenoodle #japanesefood #agedashitofu #carpaccio #hamachi #yellowtail #hamachicarpaccio #yellowtailcarpaccio #takoyaki #takoyaki🐙 #ikayaki #grilledsquid #pannacotta #vanillapannacotta #earlgreysauce #earlgreysyrup #marvel #marvelclothing #marvelclothes #avengers https://www.instagram.com/p/BoFHNsXh-mB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ab6nr4qn82uw

Pork shoulder butt was $0.99 per pound a short while back at @smithscommunity which made it cheaper than chicken for once so decided to jump on that and try my hand at slow cooked carnitas. I followed this recipe ( https://damndelicious.net/2014/10/10/slow-cooker-pork-carnitas/ ) but sadly wasn’t able to broil it afterwards (too small), used my usual frozen onions, and subbed actual oranges & lines for OJ with pulp and lime juice. Also added a couple of bay leaves and a bit of cinnamon in. After I shredded it all up, plopped it all back into the jus to absorb even more flavor while I made the corn/black bean/tomato salad (Smith’s was having their ‘by the case sale so picked up a case of the black beans), using a different and slightly sweeter recipe ( https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/corn-and-black-bean-salad/amp/ ). Tastes awesome. Still used olive oil rather than canola and dried cilantro. Ate with either quesadillas or garlic fried rice. #food #foodporn #nom #noms #nomnom #nomnoms #nomnomnom #omnomnom #fromabox #frozenfood #frozenveggies #nofucksgiven #brokefood #brokefoodie #brokefoodporn #brokefoodielife #girlsgottaeat #agirlsgottaeat #carnitas #porkcarnitas #pork #porkshoulder #porkshoulderbutt #slowcooked #slowcooker #slowcookermeals #slowcookercarnitas #slowcookedcarnitas #slowcookedpork #slowcookedporkshoulder #slowcookedporkshoulderbutt #slowcookedporkcarnitas #slowcookerpork #slowcookerporkshoulder #slowcookerporkshoulderbutt #slowcookerporkcarnitas #cornblackbean #cornblackbeansalad https://www.instagram.com/p/BoFEtYfhpln/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cg0ujayen837

Also ended up trading my Loaded bamboo skateboard for this Huffy beach cruiser bike. I know it wasn’t the best trade in the world but I just really needed some other form of transportation that was less likely to end in Injury or death. Definitely needed the handlebar grips to be replaced, a new inner tube (as you can see it had like...10+ patches on it) and the treads on the tires were pretty darn worn. So got some nice cork wood grips, new white wall tires and 2 replacement inner tubes (just in case) and I gotta say she’s looking a lot prettier. May do more with her later but for now, I’m okay with her looking a bit ghetto still to hopefully ward off thieves. Think I’ll be calling her Pistachio or ‘Stache for short. Now if only my landlord would let me store her under my staircase or chain her up to the pillar in our car space because while she isn’t super heavy, I’m not a fan of having to carry her up and down the stairs every time I wanna use her. #bicycle #bicycles #huffy #huffybicycle #huffybicycles #whitewalltire #whitewalltires #whitewalltiresrule https://www.instagram.com/p/BoFBtrUBhtY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uen6chbh2wpz

Also oven roasted some chicken thighs with Mexican spices (cumin, chili powder (thought I had to substitute Korean chili powder), garlic powder, a bit of cinnamon (in place of cloves), salt, pepper, Spanish olive oil) to have with quesadillas and my fave corn/black bean/cherry or grape tomato salad. Think I more or less followed this recipe save for my substitutions/subtractions. https://thestayathomechef.com/mexican-spiced-chicken-thighs/ #food #foodporn #nom #noms #nomnom #nomnoms #nomnomnom #omnomnom #fromabox #frozenfood #frozenveggies #nofucksgiven #brokefood #brokefoodie #brokefoodporn #brokefoodielife #girlsgottaeat #agirlsgottaeat #chicken #chickenthigh #chickenthighs #roastchicken #roastchickenthigh #roastchickenthighs #roasted #roastedchicken #roastedchickenthigh #roastedchickenthighs #ovenroasted #ovenroastedchicken #ovenroastedchickenthigh #ovenroastedchickenthighs #mexicanfood #mexicanspices #mexicanchicken #mexicanroastedchicken https://www.instagram.com/p/BoE82ekB2o6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lwph67gdoif4

It’s not like I don’t want to eat healthy but sometimes when you’re broke, you gotta take oldish cinnamon buns, fry them a bit and make a brekkie sammich out of them with some cheese, a fried egg and some deli sliced ham/chicken. #food #foodporn #nom #noms #nomnom #nomnoms #nomnomnom #omnomnom #nofucksgiven #brokefood #brokefoodie #brokefoodporn #brokefoodielife #girlsgottaeat #breakfastsandwich #breakfastsandwiches #cinnamonbun #cinnamonbuns #cinnamonroll #cinnamonrolls #cinnamonbunsandwich #cinnamonrollsandwich #arterieswillbeclogged #arterieswhatarteries https://www.instagram.com/p/BoE7K98hWyZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=q96ksfengehp

djslate treated me to dinrawr so I chose the Fettuccini Broccoli & "Kurobuta" Sausage pasta dish from @nakamurayalv Black premium pork sausage and broccoli topped with parmesan cheese, tomato cream sauce. Throw him a Twitch follow if you can. He’s good peeps. https://twitch.tv/djslate #food #foodporn #nom #noms #nomnom #nomnoms #nomnomnom #omnomnom #lasvegasfood #lasvegaseats #lasvegasoffthestrip #lasvegastrattoria #lasvegasitalianfood #lasvegaspasta #trattorianakamuraya #nakamurayalv #kurobuta #kurobutapork #kurobutasausage #kurobutasausages #pasta #fettuccini #japanesetrattoria #japaneseitalian #japaneseitalianfusion #japaneseitalianfood https://www.instagram.com/p/BoE6Lk3hsO1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=32nakosnhwzt

Kielbasa, barley, potato, broccoli, cauliflower, corn, red & green bell peppers, carrots and onion soup made with the chicken broth I had made from former cooking escapades and stored in the freezer.
