Welcome to Foodie Friday! I’ll be linking up with Annmarie from the Fit Foodie Mama + Esther from Chocolate Runner Girl–this week’s theme = Comfort Foods!
I found out earlier last week that one of my favorite kitties at Please Save A Cat passed away. :[ Hermie has been appearing on my blog probably since 2013-2014 when I first met him–I could always count on him to hang out on my shoulder whenever I was wandering around the farm or scooping poops in the barn (it kept me so warm in the winter!). He was an incredibly smart kitty and had the most intense gaze and soulful meow. I’m going to miss him so much. <3
He, like most other cats (or pets in general) always wanted to inspect my food prior to me getting a chance to eat it, and I’m pretty sure this would’ve been no exception. Since I’m still on a mission to use up the things in my apartment, I whipped this up last week! It’s a variation of the Gochujang Mayo Beef Bowl that I made half a year(?!) ago, and it’s so, so good! *-*
I had a couple packages of Minute Rice left from a previous GFAF Expo–it’s a blend of brown rice, red rice, wild rice and quinoa, so I decided to throw that in, along with a black garlic avocado oil mayo I got from Expo East last year (I still wish I could’ve gone this year!). If you want to intensify the magic that is the black garlic flavor, make sure you check out last week’s post on how to save money by making your own black garlic!

oh no! you lost a beloved cat too! I’m so very sorry! I hope Hermie and Elvis have found each other over the rainbow bridge. They would be a great pair!
I have never had black garlic! this looks so good though. I am going to check out our asian supermarket to see if I can get this and the furikake seasoning!
I hope so too! I bet they’d have lots of fun adventures together! <3
I hope you find some there! Furikake seasoning makes everything so good! :P
Sorry to hear about Hermie, but it sounds like he was well-loved!
I was actually looking up how to make black garlic a day or 2 before your post. I can’t remember why now…maybe it’s a sign I need to try this.
Oh, he definitely was–we adored him. <3!
Ooo, perfect! Let me know how it turns out! :]!
Oh, so sorry to hear about the kitty. <3
Your rice bowl looks good – I love those instant rice mixes for the base of a quick meal.
Thank you! :[ <3
Agreed–they make life a lot more convenient!
I’m sorry to hear about your buddy cat. It’s so sad. :( RIce bowl looks absolutely delicious. I need to google gochujang paste thou… I never tried that ;)
Thank you! We’re definitely going to miss him! <3 :[
Gochujang is a red chili paste–it's kinda on the savory/sweet-ish side with some spice; it's pretty awesome in lots of different dishes! :]
Ohhh, these look so so good! 😍
