Eat the Streets 757 came to Virginia Beach today. The crowd was smaller than the Norfolk event but a good showing and activities in the MOCA too. I picked up some cupcakes and steak & chicken tacos.
I made wings last night—two recipes. The first was Sweet and Sticky Lemon-Pepper Wings and then a traditional Buffalo style.
Grilled cheese made with homemade artisan bread and dill cheddar.
Five Guys Bacon Cheeseburger. Good :)
Kiwi Shrimp roll they made for us at Misako. It was refreshing.
The company office I work in had a little social at The Yard House in Town Center. Had a great time and some food too :) From top to bottom: Chicken Strips, Margherita Pizza, a yard of beer, Blackened Swordfish Taco, Korean Beef Shortrib Taco, Hot Wings, Moo Shu Pork Rolls.
Basil Fried Rice prep
I pruned the basil we had out back and was able to keep the ends alive by placing them in a bowl of water. They kept for several days and were great in the basil fried rice I made.
Shelby tried her hand at making okonomiyaki-Japanese pancakes. She had shrimp in them and made her own sauce. They came out great and I added some pot stickers (those were frozen ;) )
It was Diversity Day at Shelby’s workplace—this means food! I took a shots before standing in line to grab something from a couple of the tables. Good stuff!
Today was the 1st Annual Eat the Streets 757 food truck event in Norfolk, VA. Hubcap Grill, Twisted Sisters Cupcakes, Stuft, Wrap-N-Roll, and Norfolk Ramen were serving long lines of eager customers supporting food truck access in Hampton Roads. Looking forward to next year’s event :) Note: The last photo is today’s smallest okonomiyaki with what was left in the pan.
The family was over for a Labor Day cookout, it was nice after spending the day at the beach.
