Sashimi
Posted: April 24, 2013 in FoodTags: Avocado, Food, Houston, Japanese, Japanese cuisine, Miso Soup, Sashimi, Sushi, Texas
One of my favorite Japanese foods is sashimi. Think of it as sushi without the rice. Japanese food is more than a way to fill one’s stomach. It is art and balance too. If you are in Houston, the place to shop for Japanese groceries is Nippan Daido. You can learn to create your own Japanese food for 75% less than restaurant prices. Which is a great thing for those of us who do not have deep pockets.
The following plate I put together has:
Amaebi- Sweet Shrimp, Tai- Red Snapper, Saki-Salmon, Maguro-Tuna, Saba-Mackeral, Tako-Octopus, Ika-Cuttlefish, Fried Quail Egg, Radish, Carrot, Cucumber, and Avocado.
Top left bowl- Miso Soup

New Zion Missionary Baptist Church BBQ
Posted: April 20, 2013 in RestaurantsTags: Baptist Church, Barbeque, BBQ, Food, Houston, Huntsville, Restaurant, Texas, United States
When I lived in Huntsville, Texas, I would make it a point to stop by New Zion Missionary Baptist Church for BBQ. Even today, I make the 70 mile trek from Houston. The workers, filled with the spirit of the Lord, are always helpful and friendly. The plates are served up with generous portions and the meat is always tender. You will not find a website, nor a menu online, because the place is small, but the BBQ is SUPER and the staff is OUTSTANDING! Then again if you’re looking for a modern, upscale feel, and urban vibe, you might hate it. This place if for spirited people with a down home love for BBQ.
The hours- Open Thur-Sat 11 am-6 pm
Location- 2601 Montgomery Rd, Huntsville, Texas 77341
Phone number- 936-294-0884.
New Zion Missionary Baptist Church which I call, “The Home Of The Immaculate BBQ.”

This is how we do it down South in Texas. Boiling water, a big pot, and your choice of seasonings.

I am not sure if tiger butterfly is the correct name, but it looks like tiger stripes, so that is what I am calling it. I took this photo at the Cockrell Butterfly Center.
