What did you accomplish today?

Sweet! I wish I could grow wisteria or any other thing that isn't a mother fuckin' cactus out here. Ok pot I got....... but that's quite a production...... LOL
Sugar careful what you wish for, wisteria grows wild here and for a couple of weeks in the spring it’s beautiful but the rest of the year it’s a pain in the ass. And makes it impossible to cut down trees that are wrapped up in it. But it’s probably better than cactus.

I tell my wife I have "asian-dar". I can tell the race of any asian woman just by looking. She's full filipino.

SO, she asks me all the time, "look at my high school friend. what is she, huh?"

I'm never right.
I too have a gift of being able to mistakenly figure out the ancestry of the ladies. I have two friends who are sisters from Taiwan but they look nothing alike. One wanted to hook up and asked the other to talk to me but I thought she wanted to hook up and I said hell no ..... it got awkward.

and Mojave Greens. You haven't lived until you go out for a stroll and have to run from those bastards. BTW did I mention I have a cute grandaughter in need of a husband? Your grandson looks very cute.

It's.......... oh never mind. I miss my local joint, @Metasynth could cook it better but .......
I mean, I can cook it there at the table, but I have no idea where to begin with some of those recipes. Of course, if I found some cute little old Korean grandma to give me her recipes, I might be able to produce something edible. But I'm happy enough just cooking the meat they've prepared that they bring to the table.

And my favorite go-to's are Oo-kook Korean BBQ in Koreatown here in LA, and Kimchi Korean BBQ in Santa Barbara on State Street. Though if I have the money and I don't feel like doing the cooking, I'm going to Kang Ho-dong Baekjeong in Koreatown on 6th....That place is like...it's just awesome.

Honorable mention is Galbi King in Venice, CA...That place is like $20 for AYCE dinner, full menu, and their Kimchi Stew is the best we've had.

First lawn cutting here today and it wasn't even my own...My buddy couldn't get his mower running so I gave him a hand with it and with a few other things around his house, like clogged rain gutters, then we went for a 5-6 mile bike ride...Yesterday we had 3-4" of snow, and today near 60 and not bad. Amazing how many people not wearing masks still. We stayed right out of the main park and took a side trail because of it.

There you go, making me hungry again :) Never heard of chicken souvlaki but it sounds very similar to chicken spiedies, a local dish here...and only here I believe.

Oh yeah, I love garlic rapini with lemon zest and a spritz of lemon juice
I should try adding lemon, I've never done that. Her recipe calls for 1 clove garlic, kosher salt, olive oil and chili flakes.

Sounds similar. It needs paprika, rosemarry and a smothering of tzatziki
