Mesa Goreng

If you have no idea what the deal is, start HERE

So this week I was planning on reviewing a pizza place by my work, but when I ordered, it was terrible and I don't need that kind of negativity in my life. So instead I'm gonna review this amazing dish made by my awesome roommate!

Mesa Goreng (Indonesian-style stir fry with carrots, tomatoes, chicken, ramen and a fried egg) 
At my house
Price: $$$$$ Fee: She cooks, I clean. Eat-in only.
So to be completely honest, I have no idea what this dish is; Google didn't help much but it did recognize the name. All I know is that it's the easiest thing to watch being made with maximum flavour.
Everything you'll need
She started out with garlic and oil, adding in the carrots after it had a chance to heat up, adding in sundried tomatoes a little while in. 



                                                           Oh dang, look at that sizzle
                                                   
I've never had the ramen we used, but it was delicious and now I want to find it. It came with chili sauce, garlic oil and soy sauce packets along with the standard seasoning.

It's four or nothing in this house
We popped the chicken in, and set the ramen to cook. After those were both done, she put the chicken and veggies in with the drained noodles and added all the sauces and seasoning together.
And then, she made magic.
Beautiful

Honestly the fried egg is what elevates this dish. I love eggs, I love frying things and I love putting fried eggs on anything.
Voila!

The result was an intensely savoury and spicy stirfry that I inhaled in about 20 seconds. This recipe is super easy and adaptable,  and I can see myself making this with pretty much any ramen pack and available veggies. 10/10 to my glorious roommate and her wok skills!
Happy Eating Everyone, and Happy Holidays!

MARKET Restaurant

If you're a bit lost, start  HERE I'm back! This summer has been a hurricane of fun, and with that hurricane blew in some AMAZING food. One of my favourite discoveries of the summer has been MARKET Restaurant! MARKET Restaurant 17th Ave SW Calgary, Alberta $$$** Even thought it's situated right on the busy 17th Ave thoroughfare, MARKET feels like a hidden gem. It's focus on local, sustainable food and in-house preparation makes it one of the most wholesome dining experiences I've had yet. They make their own cheese, cure their own meats, and harvest from their own internal garden to craft some incredible dishes.  The neat thing is that none of this is apparent unless you go looking for it. From their social media presence to their waitstaff (who are amazing), the focus seems to be on the food itself, with the story and philosophy of it's sustainable initiatives only coming in on the official website for the restaurant.  BUT ANYWAYS The...

Hey There!

Welcome to Tall, Blonde, and Hungry. Lets get to know each other. I'm Jayme. I'm tall, blonde, and very hungry. I moved to Calgary in August of 2016, and I relished being able to eat at so many amazing places. I have a great joy for good food, and being in Calgary has fed that joy (and hunger) tenfold. As a lactose intolerant, hungry hungry hippo, I believe that food is one of the great joys in life. The flavours, the textures, the simple joy from a good meal is one of the best feelings in the world. I want nothing more than to share that feeling with as many people as possible, be that friends, family or you. Yes you! So join me while I eat my way through YYC, one dairy free bite at a time. Happy eating! Jayme

Portland Part I

If you're a bit lost, start  HERE Over the summer, I was supposed to do a lot of things. I was supposed to climb a mountain (yeah right), work on my writing (ditto), and go to a music festival. The music festival plan went 10 types of sideways, so instead I went to Portland for 4 days to eat my way through America's hipster capital. LET ME TELL YOU I did not want to come home. I may have cried a little upon liftoff. But before all the sadness and goodbyes, I managed to enjoy the city throughly. Rolling in on a balmy August Wednesday, the city welcomed me with open arms. The first thing I noticed about downtown Portland was that the transit system was way better than back home. (thanks Calgary) The second thing I noticed was the food carts.  In a handful of strategic spots downtown, Portland has given an entire city block over to various food carts. I'm talking tacos, shawarma, donair, kebobs, fried chicken, ramen, paleo BBQ, sushi, Cajun cuisine, donuts...
