Mining the harbors seems a bit extreme. We already tax the hell out of the tourists. The Disney Resort doesn't charge the guests a room tax to stay there. I don't know why that is but I was glad for that. For lunch yesterday I had a hanger steak at a resort restaurant. It was okay, I guess. For dinner at home tonight, I cooked up some mapo tofu. I love that dish! It's so easy to make because I use pre-made, jarred, sauces. I don't have to prepare anything. The ground pork is browned in a pan, add some garlic, black bean sauce, garlic chili sauce, fry for a while. Add some water/chicken stock and cut up tofu. I use soft tofu and break it up in the pan. Add some oyster sauce, ketchup, and soy sauce, thicken with cornstarch slurry. Turn off heat and drizzle on a little sesame oil - green onions if you like. I haven't been able to find my bottle of dark soy sauce so some of my dishes are looking a little pale. That's a dilemma only a Chinese chef could appreciate. https://photos.app.goo.gl/JDTcaycR4mMifvr38 https://photos.app.goo.gl/LoRV4xsPwoFrGDZJ9
