comfort food, sort of

[redbird]

I wanted comfort food. Shrimp with lobster sauce, fancy Cantonese takeout from my childhood. And there's a place right across the street.

Well, it was a nice idea. It's even a nice shrimp dish. But it isn't proper lobster sauce: there's no egg, and none of those greyish bits I never identified. Just white sauce with peas and scallions.

One of those days, I guess. At least it's sunny. Spring. Two kinds of violets in the churchyard near the subway.

Boo! I'm sorry you didn't get the shrimp with lobster sauce of your memories.

But now you've inspired me to think about making some for myself tomorrow.
