2nd Course: "Scrambled Scallops"
Scrambled scallop mousse with caviar served in an egg shell.
Paired with Elyse Winery's "L'Ingenue" (Failed to take a picture. Sorry!)
Notes: This course was incredibly briney. As a friend at my table described it, this dish tasted like the ocean breeze as experienced on the end of a pier. This flavor was even more intensified with the wine pairing. In fact, the effect of adding the white "L'Ingenue" wine was like eating oysters on a half shell - very raw sea and shellfish flavors. The wine was very shallow and light on its own, but man, paired with the scallops and caviar - bang! It hit it off with a lot of flavor!
The scallops were the consisitency of very loose scrambled eggs, or like oeufs brouillés. I haven't seen the recipe yet, but I imagine it's scallop mousse that's been scrambled with lots of cream and butter. Lots.
The caviar was very salty (no need for any additional salting at all) and the eggs added to the already briney scrambled scallops. Although it was meant as a decoration and "holder" for the egg shells, I enjoyed the red peppercorns with this dish.
Some of the dishes toward the end of the service featured mis-matched egg shells, which depending on your sense of humor, you may find "cute" or downright sloppy on the kitchen's part. Many of the eggs were cracked, as well, and some of plates featured the top half of the egg shell (the shallow smaller end) filled, or rather, over-flowing with scallops and caviar with the bottom half as the cap. Very clumsy.
I was especially dismayed by the lack of spoons for this course. Not only should we have been provided spoons, but they should be demi-tasse spoons - small enough to scoop out all the lovielies in the shell with. Instead, we had to have scoop half drink the contents with forks. We ended up just doing scrambled scallop shooters. Appreciated the clever double-meaning presentation, but was not practical at all.
[Note: Throughout this text, I’m calling this dish “chili.” Technically, by divine definition, it’s simply not chili unless it has beans. May God forgive me for making so called, “chili” without beans. Every time someone makes so called “chili” without beans, it makes Baby Jesus cry when he looks down on the meat soup.]
Tyson ground chicken was on sale for $1.29 per pound at the store. I bought as many packages as I thought I could fit into my already loaded refrigerator and freezer. This morning my alarm went off at 0600 so I could get up and make “chili” with the ground chicken as chili needs to simmer and sit around for many hours before it’s safe to eat. :-)
I don’t use recipes when I cook unless I’m baking because my grandmother and mother taught me, “you don’t need no damn recipes when you cook.” Also, they taught me when I’d ask how long to cook something, the answer is always, “until it’s done.”
I began by browning three pounds of chicken one pound at a time in the magic wok. Long Yau! Ground chicken is typically packed with lots of water so after the water seeped from the chicken I drained it and put it back into the fire hot wok. I stir fried each batch until the Maillard reaction kicked in and the chicken was browned and caramelized. Whether it’s beef or chicken, or pork, I like my chili meat to be “al dente” with a caramelized crust.
Once the browned chicken was in the pot, I took a handful of jalapeños and stir fried them in the magic wok until the seeds were slightly toasted. This was quite painful. I was so glad I no longer wear contacts. My sinuses were dry before I did this and I’ve been sitting around with a box of Kleenex now for the last few hours. Remember! DON’T RUB YOUR EYES! If you’re a mellophone player, you should probably get a man to fry the jalapeños for you.
I tossed the fried jalapeños into the pot with the meat. Then I chopped up four yellow onions and a couple of large red peppers, or “poivron rouges” as we call them in the French speaking part of Texas. When they were softened and lightly caramelized, it was into the pot with them.
It was at this point I realized I was going to need a bigger pot, so I transferred everything to a 5 gallon stock pot. I sliced a half dozen stalks of celery and stir fried them as well. My Aggie Ring told me that I could have just used celery salt and no one would know. “I’d know.” I told him.
From that point on it was just a matter of toasting whole cumin seeds and grinding them in my mortar. My mama didn’t raise no son who uses pre-ground spices unless there’s a hurricane a blowing. I probably put a half dozen or so other spices in the “big ass” pot along with some whole pealed Italian tomatoes.
I had diced and wok fried a couple of pounds of garlic until the pieces were crispy a few days ago. I threw in about half a cup of those. One cannot have too much garlic in chili.
And the best part last! I added a couple of pounds of sliced okra because I had it in the refrigerator. What kind of savage doesn’t keep okra on hand in their refrigerator? I’m not some yokel from East Texas. I was raised properly. We eat okra in my home.
After bringing the “big ass” pot of chili (forgive me Jesus for calling something without beans chili) to the boil, I put it on a slow simmer where it will remain for about three hours until reduced. I don’t like a runny chili. As always, chili is always better the next day. It looks as if I’ll have about two gallons. I’ll likely be freezing much of it in one quart plastic bags.

Hong Kong Transport - Trucks
The Hong Kong Truck Culture
The number of Trucks, Vans* and Special Purpose Vehicles (Light, Medium & Heavy) registered + licenced in Hong Kong seems to fluctuate between 120,000 - 125,000 vehicles and presumably new trucks registered are offset by old trucks being retired or sold over the border in China.
*Vans are classified as Light Goods Vehicles and are not shown in this album
In Hong Kong Trucks are classified as GOODS VEHICLES By the Transport Department - see below
☛Light Goods Vehicles - Goods vehicles of permitted gross vehicle weight not exceeding 5.5 tonnes.
☛Medium Goods Vehicles - Goods vehicles of permitted gross vehicle weight exceeding 5.5 tonnes but not exceeding 24 tonnes.
☛Heavy Goods Vehicles - Goods vehicles of permitted gross vehicle weight exceeding 24 tonnes but not exceeding 38 tonnes.
The major truck types you tend to see in urban areas are trucks carrying construction materials or waste, dump trucks, concrete mixers and all sizes of delivery trucks... outside of the urban areas it is container trucks and large trucks carrying construction materials.
The following brands of Trucks can be seen on the streets of Hong Kong and include:-
Beiben ✚ Bell ✚ CAMC ✚ CNHTC ✚ DAF ✚ Dennis ✚ Dong Feng ✚ FAW ✚ Fuso ✚ Foton ✚ Ford ✚ Hino ✚ Howo ✚ Hyundai ✚ Isuzu ✚ Iveco ✚ JAC ✚ Kato ✚ KIA ✚ Liebherr ✚ MAN ✚ Mercedes Benz ✚ Mitsubishi ✚ Nissan ✚ Renault ✚ Scania ✚ Shacman ✚ Sinotruk ✚ Suzuki ✚ Toyota ✚ UD ✚ Volvo ✚ Zoomlion
Hong Kong is a brand conscious place even for trucks (!) hence the popularity of the European brands, Scania and Man are very popular and even the older trucks look the business and they are utterly reliable.
Isuzu is the market leader in terms of sale volume for all types of trucks.

This morning around 9:45 am Brandon wrote me a text telling me he wasn't happy. With us, life, anything.
I worked off stress at the gym on my break.
He went out of town with his "friends." The jerks that hate me. The jerks that told me they hate me. Because they can't get past high school cliques! (Jerks = Jocks. Me = Never labeled myself. I was friends with anyone and everyone.) The jerks he hasn't hung out with in almost a year but TONIGHT has to go out with.
When I get home to our empty house, this note was on the mirror. I am alone and crying. Sad. Confused. I don't know if I'm happy. I don't know. I'm lost.
