). I do believe we just finished one of our favorite pasta dishes ever. The flavors were a perfect blend for our tastes and the only change I made was for a can of fire roasted tomatoes in lieu of fresh, and some pasta water to loosen up the sauce. 
We ended up at a sushi and Japanese cuisine buffet, Yellow Tail. Since I like my sushi cooked well-done, I pretty much kept to the hot food side of the display. I did, however, take a few new-to-me items off the cold side. First plate: cold crab stix salad, seaweed salad, spicy dried mushrooms, and peeling shrimp. Second plate: BBQ pork steamed bun, pork gyozo, plus miso soup. Third plate: my made-for-me plate from the teppanyaki grill. Fourth plate: pork egg roll, yellowtail fish, steamed clams, sweet-and-sour chicken (minus sauce), spicy stir-fry veggies, BBQ rib.
Due to a mess-up in our original plans, we came up with a quick Plan B...which, sadly, gave me no opportunity for bacon.
Last plate was a small selection of dessert items. However, none of us can remember the name of the cookie in this solo shot I took. Can anyone tell us the name, please and thank you!
That's IT! Thank you, thank you! I thought it began with a "p", but I just couldn't come up with the rest of the letters. ?
Last night (Saturday) was the first of 4 days of restaurant meals before I fly off to Missouri..
Stopped into a little place we like and I had fish and chips, Jeannie had smothered chicken.. Not a piece of bacon in sight...
Kayelle... I will make that pasta dish when I get to D & SIL home.. I know they will like that..

Well, this was the first Instant Pot dish that was mildly disappointing. Maybe that is partly to do with the fact the recipe didn't come from or wasn't inspired by Ms Mofet!
