Food

^ Lots of carbs and protein I see

And I missed that umbrella mat

A typical pizza from Grimaldi's in NY.

^ Slice me up dude!

And yesterday nights trip to my first ever Shake Shack now that we have a location here  

And of course after a burger comes the sweets! I had the Fruity Pebbles ice cream macaroon, yep, cereal based macaroon and the ice cream was made with milk that was in Fruit Pebbles cereal. One of the best things I've ever had

Good thing I'm seeing this AFTER having lunch  

Oh that pizza looks incredible  It's almost like I'm hungry again...

And those burgers!!  With those burgers, who cares about the sweets?  

After bicycle dinner

MORE HAWAIIAN FOODS....

#12 HAUPIA  (how-PEE-ah)

What it is: Haupia is a coconut pudding-like dessert, which is usually cut into squares when it’s served. It has a sweet coconut flavor and (when made just right) the smoothest texture. Ancient Polynesians brought coconut (niu) with them when they arrived in Hawaii, but many independently floated over to the islands before.

How it’s made: Traditional haupia was made with niu cream mixed with pia(Polynesian arrowroot), then wrapped in ti leaves and baked in the imu. Now haupia is usually made by boiling coconut milk with sugar for sweetness. Just a little sugar is needed, since the coconut is naturally sweet. Whisking in cornstarch thickens the dessert. When the pudding is finished, it cools in the fridge for several hours to solidify.

#13 KULOLO  (koo loh loh)

What it is: This dessert is similar to haupia, but is made with grated taro, which gives it a nutty sweetness. It also has a thicker, more mealy texture, when compared with the smoothness of haupia. The version of kulolo eaten now is a post-contact invention, but ancient Hawaiians mixed the flesh of a mature coconut with taro to make the original dish. Hawaiians also mixed coconut cream with sweet potato to make poipalau, or with very ripe breadfruit to make paipaiee. These delicious desserts were all wrapped in ti leaves and baked in an imu.

How it’s made: The modern version of this dish is made with coconut milk, taro, sugar, and sometimes honey, baked in a covered pan for several hours.

Nothing. I'm just not a really a big fan of them, but I like products with tomatoes as their main ingredient.

^ So that means spaghetti and ketchup

I only like certain kinds of ketchup.

Had to take a video to capture all the food my family made today.  Also had a turkey, and various desserts and sides.

The ribs were so good.  Slow cooked in the oven and then grilled with an Asian marinade. 

Yeah! I don't know how you could call it in English, but it's a chicken soup made with rice flour noodles that cook in the broth and thicken it, and then it's garnished with onions, cilantro, fried garlic, chili oil and fried "Chinese" doughnuts. 

@toodarnhot that is a INSANE amount of food!

You better have leftovers or else you people eat way too much in one sitting
