The Fry Fest on Fryday <teehee> was such a success, my friends returned to the scene of the crime the following day to finish what we started!

The above portrait features Jeff’s chili nuclear-blasted atop a pile of steamed rice, encased in a protective layer of melted cheese, blanketed with a thick layer of homemade guacamole, and sprinkled with chopped red onion. This is the leftovers of superheroes!

Meanwhile, in Cuba, Tatiana demonstrated the simple deliciousness that hot bubbling oil brings forth from the humble plantain:

Plantains!…before a dip in a bubbling golden oil bath…and after… 🙂

Fried plantains with Cuban rice and Spam…a few pieces of steak…and a pickled onion! Winner food!

Finally, there was a small amount of my mom’s shrimp wonton mix that didn’t find its way into wonton wrappers. That was scooped up by muah, stir-fried with eggs, rice, and soy sauce, and was received by a cheering five-year-old who gave me a standing ovation.

And that is how you do leftovers. 🙂

Shrimp fried rice!
