It's a type of roasted pork.
I believe the bits you're looking at would be full lemongrass stalks.
They're an aromatic...and they taste...would you believe...lemon-y.
They're unpalatable and taste like shit if you try to bite into one...but the flavour they impart into foods is amazing.

So today is mothers day here.
I kind of...prepped the kitchen and set the table for this and threw in here and there with bits of the construction.

VURRY full right now. It was nice.

now im hungry.....for human brains

Quite the morning table. What did you have for lunch?

And how much have you gained in weight over the last 16 years?

Nothing. It was a late breakfast/lunch thing I suppose.

Ha, you know we don't eat like this on the regular right? These pics were a few years worth of the good stuff.
Honestly...I don't know...it's been pretty static for longer than that.
I mean I'm not skinny. I'm a tank.

Ah, okay. All the pics gave me the impression that was a standard dinner at your place.

A tank. Like Dwayne Johnson?

LOL more like Tank Abbott unfortunately...there's work to be done.
Strong, heavyset, but tubs.

Haha

In other words you look like a dad.

A bit. The girl took all my pretty.

Had some friends over for the first time in FOREVER and decided to take my cheeseboard skills up to 11. Pretty proud of this.
