Bowls Full Of Soul

Which bowlful would you choose by sight alone?

Detailed reasons are encouraged.

If either of my two readers responds to this, I'll have a couple

more in-depth clues and questions associated with these two dishes.

P.S.- for those of you who don't like tender beef, here's some 

tempura shrimp, thin egg noodles, bok choy, and cilantro.

The second and third photo are courtesy of my old friend's

huge success and I wish him the best of luck.

Buffed!

A gorgeous day today in the Garden State!

I hadn't been down to the boat since a couple of days after the

weather disturbance known as 'Sandy' passed through.  Today I

buffed the hull with wax/cleaner and she's looking brand spanking 

new for a twenty-eight year old boat.  Shame on me for not 

thinking to bring sunscreen; my face is on fire.  Oh well.

Hopefully on Friday, I'll bring the tape, paint, a brush, a roller, 

and a pan and get the bottom done.  Then I can start concentrating

on the disaster I call my yard.

In this array of letters, find the three main components of 

tonight's dinner.  One protein, one vegetable, one grain.

I can't remember if I've ever posted without at least

one image, and I ain't scrolling back to find out.

First one on my blogroll and/or reader to solve the puzzle

is invited to spend a Saturday night and write the menu

for that evening's dinner.  No limits. Except Anonymous answers.

And you have to bring the wine.
