Polenta Bruschetta with Rotisserie Chicken

what to make when it is 104 degrees in the shade?

dice some non-salmonella tainted tomatoes, marinate in balsamic vinegar and olive oil, with a little sea salt and basil, then spoon over pan griddled polenta. add some sliced rotisserie chicken breast, a sprinkle of parmesan on top, and dinner is served.

Thit Kho To

(vietnamese for "caramelized pork in clay pot")

made with pork belly.

the best, well, easiest and most accessible, being 3 minutes from my house, source for pork belly is H Mart, the Korean superstore of all superstores in Carrollton. too many types of kimchi to count, fresh fish, and pork belly for the taking.

the produce department rocks, low prices, fantastic variety, as evidenced by the extremely inexpensive bok choy-type cabbage i stir-fried up with the pork.

and just to add some gratuitous cuteness to this blog as there has been none for quite some time...
