Yes, I’ve fallen behind on a few things at home, and we’re off on vacation in a few days as well. It’s during these times that I’m so grateful for Cathy, who will once again hold down the fort for a few weeks while we’re gone.
So where are we going? Here’s a really easy hint:
Yep, we’re almost packed. The Missus has been looking forward to this trip for a while. I’m hoping to get some good eats in as well.
And this gives it all away…..
Since this is a Food Blog….or at least is supposed to be one, I’ll throw in some food.
Here’s the fried Snapper I made for the Missus recently:
Dusted with flour, granulated garlic, fresh ground pepper, sea salt, cayenne, and some paprika. Fried in canola oil with some bacon grease (sssshhh, I didn’t tell the Missus about the secret flavoring ingredient). The Missus told me, "you may finally be learning how to fry…."
With some Blue Cheese Potato Salad with Bacon:
And just for the heck of it.
A Loco Moco…..
Thanks for putting up with me!
I’ll be checking in, as I’m able to…….
See you in a few weeks!!!
awe Kirk, there must be a satelite in the skies above your destination….to file in intermittent entries??
I am guessing Peru is your destination. Have a great trip.
Have a great vacation, Kirk! Take it easy on those hamsters 🙂
I think Beach is right about Peru (based on teh nuevo soles).
Have a wonderful trip, Kirk! We’ll try to keep Cathy on her toes while you’re gone (heehee).
Have nice and safe trip!! I hope that you can visit some cool ruins (and try some of those guinea pigs, hehe).
Everything that needs to be deep fried. Do it with lard – it taste so so so so so gooooood. To bad in the states it ain’t all natural. When I was in Mexico the lard was straight off the pig. Oh have a safe trip.

Some good-sounding spots!
Hi RONW – We decided not to lug the PC around on this trip…so you’ll just have to wait.
Hi Beach – As always you are right on.
Hi Howie – Hamsters? Egad…..you mean Cuy (Guinea Pig), right?
Hi Carol – I’m glad I can depend on you to keep Cathy on her toes! ;o)
Hi Christine – We fully intend on having some Cuy…and maybe an Alpaca steak or two.
Hi Billy – I think the Missus would draw the line on that magical four lettered flavor enhancer!
Hi Trent – You didn’t happen to notice that I added Peru Food to my ‘Food Blogs From Around the World’ sidebar back in May? Alejandro has been kind enough to provide some good info for me!
i hope you take pictures up the wazu!
Also i believe wine from Chile/Argentina are significantly cheaper in Southern America than purchasing there. GREAT stuff.
Have fun on your vacation! Can you pick me up a llama? Thanks!
I did notice the Peru Food Blog addition, that’s why I’m so jealous! Seriously, have a great time, and I can’t wait for the updates.
Bon voyage! Looking forward to hearing all about your trip when you get back.
Wishing you a safe trip and lots of good eating! Just got back from Portland so we’ll have to catch up and swap food stories!
Awesome! Hope you enjoy the wonderful historical and cultural monuments! The trek to Macchu Picchu summit is quite a workout but well worth it. Drink plenty of water.
Don’t forget to the food pics for us folks!
Heh. You really like loco moco don’t you? I saw your series on Hawaiian plate lunches.
Have a great trip! As Eduardo suggested above, we’ll all eagerly wait for your entries on the local food. 😀
Hey Kirk,
Here’s wishing you and the Missus a great trip to Peru, if I am guessing the destination correctly.
I would like to ask for your input to guide a novice with ordering a Szechuan meal (Ba Ren is my most likely destination).
I have no fear of spicy peppercorns or variety ingredients (he he,innards), I would just like to get some advice on how to navigate the menu.
I have read your many posts, but I am a little confused about how to order a meal for myself and the hubby and guests who are interested in experiencing the cuisine.
Kirk,
Have fun! Looking forward to hearing all about it.
Wow! I’m so jealous! Have a safe and fun trip. I can’t wait to hear about guinea pig and whatever other eats you’ve got!
Have a safe and flavorful trip. And hi to the missus.
Hi Clayfu – I hope my “wazu” is up to the task!
Hi Jenn – Any idea on what postage would be on a Llama or Alpaca? ;o)
Hi Trent – You’re pretty observant…..I thought I kinda hid that away….
Hi mizducky – Thanks!
Hi Candice – We sure will have a lot to talk about!
Hi EduardoY – Thanks, I’ll do my best….the Missus sure is excited.
Hi Roger – Being born and raised in Hawaii will do that to you.
Hi Jan – I’ll email you when I get a chance.
Hi Reid – I hope everything works out….and we manage to fulfill expectations.
Hi WC – We may be able to get a homemade meal of Cuy……won’t that be cool.
Hi Ed – Thanks!
I hope you have a wonderful and safe trip. can’t wait to eat every word of the details when you get back.
chow
Have a WONDERFUL time! Can’t wait to see you back, but “take your time” and enjoy yourself!
Hi Michael – Thanks….I hope we manage to get some good eats!
Hi PE – We’ll do our best! Thanks for taking the time out to say hello, I know you’re really busy!
