Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
I try and check out tons of places to eat, but then sometimes, in your own backyard, you can get exactly what you want. The seafood marinara penne. It’s not on the menu, and I don’t know when they serve it, (I hear it’s special) but I also heard it rocks. And yes, it does. Quite great. The marinara is on the sweeter side which I like. I know it’s not supposed to be sour, so it’s on par with what marinara should be. We do make it ourselves, and with the seafood, it’s spot on. The right amount, the right proportions, and I think perfect. Good work chef Nelson! That’s why this is all worth doing.

Does this look good? It's dried fruit I made myself with my food dehydrator. The fruit at the bottom are old pears, apple, and mango. There's more, this is just a little of it. The leathers. Those are cool eh? It's mixed berries and mango. I had some old fruit in the fridge and decided it was time to break out the dehydrator and get something out of it all. It came out great. Basically, you can...

Basically, you can take ground up leftovers from a food processor, or if you have a blender just make crushed fruit and pour it on these flat discs. If it’s more like a juice puree, then it’ll come out smooth, but if it’s rough, then it’ll be really bumpy. I made both kinds just to check it out. I have some frozen strawberries and pineapple. That’s next.

Ever look leeks? I know it's not good to over cook them since if it's like an onion, it'll get gooey and bad, although it will sweeten up for sure. I figure a little bit of a light crunch would be ok once the bite of onion flavor cooks away. So the idea is to get them just right. I added some salt, some pepper, cooking sake, garlic, olive oil, and tiny drops of soy sauce. The fish is fish, that's...

I figure a little bit of a light crunch would be ok once the bite of onion flavor cooks away. So the idea is to get them just right. I added some salt, some pepper, cooking sake, garlic, olive oil, and tiny drops of soy sauce. The fish is fish, that’s simple too, salt and pepper, and it’s fine. It’s ahi tuna from Trader Joe’s. The idea is not to over cook that one either. The sesame Japanese salad dressing is hard to beat. Happy sunday.
