this is a blog about the food in my life. what I eat, what I wanna eat, what I make, what I bake, what I wanna make and bake, ideas and recipes. it's also my thoughts on food or stories behind the meals. The lyric references are from my lifelong love of classic rock and funk and from working a hunnerd years in music retail.

Someone Saved My (Rice) Tonight
A repeat of the previous day's pork and rice bowl this time including pork gravy. My nephew told me his 4 year old daughter has an affinity for gravy today via text. The idea of creamy, smooth porky liquid wouldn't leave my head. I love gravy too but never make it. I had all those amazing juices from the roast pork so a quick pan gravy was born out of the suggestion. I wanted to do biscuits but the store was out of flour. Rice, gravy and pork is not the most natural combination, the flavors warm and homey but unable to really pop. In the end, I don't think the gravy alone elevated my bowl necessarily but when added to my hot sauce, it became another experience entirely! Mini taco bites naturally formed of all the elements with a little lettuce for crunch.
