Miriam: Morocco Sushi Pictures and Generic Update
Months ago, I promised pictures of Moroccan sushi (it gave me a legitimate excuse to go back and spend tons of money on happy happy fish!). The only problem is that they still did not have tuna: “Tomorrow, in sha Allah.” Well, as a result I had to try the King Crab Roll, which consisted of oodles of crab. That’s it. Crab. Crab and me, we go way back, but this was a bit too...

Miriam: Sushi and Camel Burgers
This weekend’s culinary adventures can be united by one thing (other than price): no mayonnaise on salad! Hooray! We went to a sushi restaurant on Saturday night. We had heard nothing but praise for this restaurant with people saying that it was even better than Nobu and all the best and favorite sushi places in America. Braced for the high prices, we took a petit taxi to Kiotori, a...

Miriam: Pictures of Moroccan Food
Here are pictures of Moroccan food: Lamb and Quince Tajine at Al Fassi Restaurant in the Sofitel Palais Jamai Hotel, Fes. Next is the dessert at the same restaurant on the prix fixe menu. Note the very light portion! Bisarra - a white bean, garlic, olive oil, and cumin soup. Available from many street vendors, retail at about $1.Addis - lentils cooked with lemon and spices and oil. About...
Miriam: Moroccan Street Food
<dd>We’ve been sampling Moroccan street food, usually our lunch fare after class. No pics yet, but I’m working on it. So far we’ve had b’sarra, which is a Fassi specialty (from Fes). It’s a white bean soup with olive oil and garlic and served with fresh, hardy bread. It’s about 6 Dh which is less than a dollar. And includes wormwood tea - yes, the...

Miriam: Thanksgiving
What better holiday for a food blog than Thanksgiving? This was my first year cooking, even though I’ve spent past Thanksgivings without family I’ve never cooked the meal. We wanted to invite classmates, but it seems as though most everyone is out of town with family, extended family, or friends so we said “To hell with everyone, we’re still going to cook the full...
Bobby: Halloween 2008
Ah, Halloween! The day many use as an excuse to act out of the ordinary by dressing up really weird (human breathalyzer), doing strange things to others (a girl flashing me & a coworker), and of course giving and receiving loads of candy. Initially, I planned to go trick or treating at Horton Plaza to accumulate a variety of candy to blog about, unfortunately, I didn’t have time so I...

Bobby: Tiki's Chipotle Chicken Island Wrap
My coworker Tina (aka Tiki) likes to cook at home. Here’s a short
video of something she made the other day. It looks pretty good!Posted by email from eats along the 33rd parallel (posterous) | Comment »

Bobby: BBQ Chicken
When you think of San Diego and chicken you may
think of this guy:
San Diego is not known for fried chicken
places. What do you think this place is? Charleston, SC??
The common chains are scattered about here:
KFC, Church’s, and even Popeye’s. However, a new fried chicken place
has opened in what used to be Flavor Thai on Convoy. It is called BBQ
Chicken, which is a...
Bobby: Souplantation
Here is the longer version of our trip to
Souplantation.

Bobby: THE EVENT
Jacques, Scott & I do THE EVENT. What is THE
EVENT? It’s 4 quarters of Souplantation food followed by an overtime period at
the participant’s own risk.
What can I say about Souplantation food? It
can be healthy if you stick to the salad & bread but if you start going for
the pizza, the pasta, and the ‘thicker’ soups, kiss “healthy” goodbye. I...
Miriam: Waffle House
Corey just flew in from New York for a couple days R&R - coinciding with my 5-day Fall Break. Upon arrival at 10 a.m., we took him to that Souther staple: Waffle House. I had first heard of Waffle House from my friend Rosie who ate there in Alabama when her man was in Marine training. I thought she meant that there were many privately owned places that served waffles, not that there was a...
Miriam: The Worst Film Ever Made (Originally a...
Tonight, Collin, Michelle, Big Baby D (aka Delilah), Aaron, and I went to Five Guys Burgers and Fries. It’s the closest thing to In-n-Out over here, sans the drive-thru. While I interviewed Collin and took a couple pics, I needed to edit them together and looked around my pre-installed software. Back in the day, I remember the free and mediocre Windows Movie Something-Or-Other, but I did...
Bobby: I go tango with Yogo Tango
On my quest to eat a little healthier I visited
Yogo Tango. Upon hearing the name initially, one might think it was a
dance studio specializing in the popular dance. It is actually a frozen yogurt
shop which supplies its customers with healthy toppings like fruit, granola,
mochi among others (some not so healthy) for their yogurt. Yogo Tango’s
yogurt contains live cultures to help...
At Home Along the 33rd
Here’s a little something I’ve been making at home. Yeah, it doesn’t really fit in with the whole 33rd parallel thing, as it’s not exactly San Diegan, Carolinian or Moroccan, but…it’s one of the few things I’ve remembered to take pictures of.
Anyway, the pasta is nothing special — though this time it was Newman’s Own, so I guess it was our...
Miriam: Vietnamese Food in South Carolina?...
We were despairing: only BBQ, chicken, butter, and fast food. But low and behold, a new Vietnamese restaurant opened up in Columbia about 6 months ago and they just started advertising. Aaron, Collin, and I finally went to Pho Viet out in Forest Acres. The place is an old fast food restaurant replete with a demolished playground that left nothing but the one bolted table for parental...

The Office Party
I normally intend to write about food that I do not make… but I haven’t had any interesting gastronomic experiences lately so here’s a small summary of last night’s Office Party (with food). Aaron and I decided to host a “Welcome Back to THE OFFICE” party and Aaron was the chef! I normally am the food-maker for parties and Aaron is the dominant dinner-maker,...
Ralphs sandwiches & "sweetpalooza"
BOBBY:
We work full shifts plus a little extra on Sundays
because of football.
To inaugurate the ‘08-‘09 NFL season, week 1 we had
a pot luck, Jason brought his grill & cooked hamburgers in the back of his
pickup truck & nearly everyone brought some sort of food: potato chips,
potato salad, fried chicken, egg rolls, crackers, fruits, vegetables, assorted
dips. Week 2...
