On the way home from the airport Sunday night, SO and I stopped for an
early dinner at Tamarind Tree. This is one of our favorite restaurants
in town. Their crushed kumquat martinis are to die for, and two of them
in rapid succession just might kill you. After our stuffed squid and
bun cha Hanoi, we walked over to the Viet Wah supermarket in the same
plaza to get a few provisions before we leave on Friday for Port
Angeles. We got a huge bunch of pea tendrils for $1.49, and Rainier
cherries for $1.99 a pound. I've seen both of these items at Anglo
supermarkets for $6/pound and up. I used the pea tendrils in two
different stir fries. Tonight I stir fried them just enough to wilt
them while I was heating the gas grill for burgers, then tossed them
with leftover mango-mustard sauce and rice vinegar.
