Wednesday Image Search – Mea

Posted on June 29, 2022 by vanbraman

Welcome to another Wednesday Image Search where I pick a string of letters or a word and share some of the images I find in an image search of the blog.

After searching for ‘thu’ last week I am back to ‘#ea’ and will search for ‘mea’ this week.

What images will I find?

Loose Meat Sandwich, Canteen, Steamed HamburgerWith the first image we have a loose meat sandwich. This is my version of a Canteen and reminds me of my childhood in Ottumwa, Iowa.

Toronto, korean food, cuisineFor  the second image we have a Korean meal. I like the small plates you get with the main dish.

Rodizio, Churrascaria, Carnivore, Meat, RestaurantNext is a the server bringing us another round of meat at the Carnivore Restaurant near Johannesburg, South Africa.

Zebra meat, BBQ, Braai, South Africa, CarnivoreThis picture is also from the Carnivore. The Zebra meat was really good.

gymea lilies, doryanthes excelsa, Australian lilies, gardeningFinally, we have some gymea lilies in front of our office in Australia. I really like the tall lilies.

I had a lot of interesting ‘mea’ pictures to choose from, with most of them having to do with food.

Which is your favorite of these ‘mea’ pictures?

What should I search for next? I do have at least one more  ‘ea’ search I want to make.

Thinking of Nando’s

Posted on June 28, 2022 by vanbraman

Tonight I was thinking of Nando’s. Recently my grocery store started carrying Nando’s sauces and I bought a couple bottles.

Nandos, Nando's Sauces, Peri-Peri Sauce, Australia, Nando'sThe two available sauces were these two which I normally use when I eat at Nando’s.

1/4 Chicken at Nando's - Chicken and Chips - Peri Peri Sauce - Macquarie CentreTonight my dinner was not as good as what you see here. Instead I just baked a couple chicken breast tenderloins with a bit of seasoning. I then cut them into small chunks and dipped them in the medium sauce.

Half Chicken, Nando's, Clean Up Your Act, Hot and SpicyPerhaps next time I will try something a bit more ambitions. I probably won’t try to grill a half chicken, but perhaps I will marinate the chicken before cooking.

I may also make some fries as they are very good dipped in the peri-peri sauce.

nando's, Australia, North Ryde, Macquarie CentreWhat I would really like is to get a true Nando’s fix at one of the restaurants in Sydney where I can get some chicken ribs.

Nando's Chicken, Cambridge, UK, ChickenAnother place that would be nice to visit is this Nando’s in Cambridge, England.

I first experienced Nando’s just before 9/11 when I was in South Africa. Since that time I have eaten Nando’s in multiple places around the world.

Perhaps someday I will get to visit a Nando’s in the US. Nando’s does have restaurants in the Baltimore/DC and Chicago areas and they are slowly expanding to other areas. Virginia Beach and Houston have been announced as new locations that are coming soon.

I do know that the San Francisco Bay Area was being considered back when Nando’s chose Chicago as their second market, so perhaps they are still high on the list for expansion.
