Fresh Strawberry Lemonade Fishy Ice & Pops
Dear Food Diary:
It’s been scorchingly hot in NY these past couple days, so I put my freebies from Country Time and Pylones from the Grand Central Terminal to good use.

Turning 53rd & 6th Combo into Egg Fried Rice
Dear Food Diary:
Since Anthony Bourdain and Midtown Lunch did their post/episode on the Halal Cart this week, this would be the perfect time to share my latest experience.
The other night we stopped by my favorite 53rd & 6th Av for some mouthwatering street meat. Love this cart, the best combo rice with white and hot sauce ever! I brought the left overs home and the next morning realized it wouldn’t even constitute as an appetizer for this Chubby’s tummy (see pic above). With nothing but eggs in my fridge on a lazy Saturday morning, my brain and tummy teamed up and came up with this Street Meat Egg Fried Rice (fried rice is best made with day old rice anyways, rice holds a better texture this way).

Recipe: Making Momofuku’s Bo Ssam at home for less than $20!
Dear Food Diary:
I’ve been asking my friend Fely to organize a Momofuku Bo Ssam dinner for a while, $200 for a whole piggy shoulder with 6-8 people seemed reasonable. Next thing you now, I nearly choke over coffee last week with his email entitled “momofuk U” dinner, LOL. Not vicious or anything, just a joke (for those of you who are a little sensitive, chill), but our frustration is understandable if you read the whole reservation process, which is very obnoxious and complicated as usual *rolling eyes*.
