When July hit, I began a search for local tomatoes. And where's the best place to find that? A farmer's market. Sara and I stopped at the St. Albans Farmers Market.
During these crazy times, I'm trying to stay as safe as possible while also supporting local businesses. So, there has been a lot of takeout. A LOT of takeout. Even at places like Dockside Grille, which considers one of its biggest selling points being right on the river.
Nonetheless, I got a nice view of the space when I went to pick up. The island vibe is spread throughout the space, while still having a touch of refinement.
To start off, I ordered the coconut shrimp. Breaded, deep-fried shrimp with the sweet coconut outer layer. Plus a side of a creamy sweet chili sauce brought it all together. Yum.
Then, it's lobster ravioli time. Plump ravioli, stuffed with lobster meat and cheese, and topped with a creamy tomato sauce. This is not a new flavor to me, but it is one of my favorites. Creamy, cheesy, indulgent - in all the best ways.
It's almost time for my July box, and I realized I hadn't shared the June box! So far, I've tried that spicy honey peanut butter - which I think would be perfect for a Thai dish. And it's no joke spicy.
Wasabi Fusion is a Chinese, Japanese and Thai fusion restaurant in Beckley. So, think Chinese classics with sushi and a few noodle dishes, too.
Recently, I ordered takeout here: crab rangoons and a sushi roll. The crab rangoons - this was a very small order. I think there were three. They were the fold-over kind, which I tend to like because they have more filling. These were average.
I underestimated the amount of "crunchies" this would have, but I was not mad about it. It's a little deep-fried log of goodness. All of my guilty pleasures wrapped up in one.
Let's be honest, I'm tired of biscuits. BUT, there are just a couple left. The more basic ones. And we're on a mission to try all of them.
Today is the ham biscuit - classic. There are three different ham options they offer.
The classic has this slab of ham so there are some stringy bits of fat at times. But, I like this better than the country ham. It's kind of like Easter dinner leftovers.
