mmm-yoso!!! is a food blog. Kirk is crazy busy right now, as is Ed(from Yuma) so Cathy is writing a short post on this overcast day.
After driving home from the midwest (there are more 'chapters' about the three weeks of condiment-free foods consumed), I was craving spices, flavors, heat…food that could be consumed with chopsticks…! 
The Mister suggested Little Sheep, which has been blogged here a few times since opening in 2007. Lunch was available, with its own menu!($11.95)
Why yes, we each chose the 'spicy' soup base. 
The Mister chose the lamb shoulder and I chose the fresh fish filet. The same seasonal vegetables, meatballs and noodles were on the plates. I was happy with the flavors and glad to have tried the fish- it was fresh and different than what we've usually had. 
My brother was visiting and we decided to bring him to Little Sheep, since he had never had Hot Pot. This was dinner, where you can mark your choices off the paper menu.
Playing it 'safe' by ordering the mild as well as vegetarian soups, we went a bit crazy on add-ins. 
The 'veggie combo' ($9) does not include mushrooms, so a small order of oyster mushrooms ($2.75) was added to it. 
Traditional hot pot dumplings ($5) were ordered instead of noodles.
A large order of 'Supreme beef' ($14) was more than enough. 
The small order of chicken breast ($6) was enough) 
The Tiger Prawns ($8) were great! 
The beef skewers ($6) were ordered 'just in case' there wasn't enough food. Ha.
All in all, a great way to satisfy the cravings.
