Doesn't Kreuz ship? http://www.kreuzmarket.com/beef.shtml Also, Southside Market (Elgin Sausage) does as well: http://www.southsidemarket.com/

Bottled salad dressings should be fine, anything homemade needs to be thrown out. Anything in a commercial sealable container should be fine.

In the last few offices I have worked in, every friday, all food, except for soft drinks and water bottles, is thrown out, no matter what.

They're a green. Why not try them Asian style?

No, unfortunately I don't. But on the Mike's Deli website, its $18 a pound: http://www.arthuravenue.com/Dispatch.jsp?s...o&pno=2&pid=241

Okay, but what about FRIED PIES? http://offthebroiler.wordpress.com/2006/04...big-pie-videos/

Yeah it was actually pretty good. The problem is that Han Ah Reum has like 20 brands of that stuff, and they all look kinda similar, I can't read or understand Hangul, so I narrowed it down to the small containers, where there was like six brands I could choose from. I picked the one with the least amount of additives (written in English by the import company) in it. I showed it to a Korean lady in the aisle shopping with me and asked her which one was good and she said the one I was holding, so I went with that.

It's on the side, there wasn't room on the plate. I didn't photograph it. It was also not white short grain rice, it was leftover latino-style seasoned yellow rice that we made over the weekend to go with some pork chops. We make a lot of rice dishes in this house.

If you're talking about yellow rice flavored with Goya Sauzon - you are 100% correct! It's widely used in much of the Dominican take-out food that I eat on a weekly basis and also figures prominently in Puerto Rican cusine that I have enjoyed greatly in the past. ← Yup. Theres a ton of it in Goya Sazon, Goya Adobo and any number of latino spice and seasoning blends.

I wish Maggi Seasoning came in gallon containers.

Yeah, I think for a roundeye I do it okay.

Tonight I made Korean Barbecue to document for Off The Broiler.

Parmigiano-Reggiano contains a ton of glutamates. Just add more of that.

Dammit, if you really have to press me to a choice, it would be cake. But ONLY if the cake was really, really, moist. And dense. Like a really good German Chocolate cake or a Carrot Cake, where you put the fork into it and it sort of sticks to the fork (like the casing on a Devil Dog or a Twinkie that forms like a streak on your hands when you eat them) and no crumbs fall off. Approaching brownie-like consistency. Average pie beats dry cake any day of the week.

I'm not going to make Sophie's choice like that, you bastard.

You went to Cochon and you didn't take photos?

I'll second the Alsatian/Germanic reccomendation. You want a wine with a high acid content for that sauce. Riesling or Gewurtztraminer would be ideal but a Pinot Gris or Pinot Blanc would be nice as well. I'm not so sure Chardonnay would be as good a match, its too boozy and oaky (unless you get one that was aged in stainless steel) and most of them have too much heat on the palate as well.

MSG also naturally occurs in several types of vegetables including mushrooms, also seaweed.

MSG rules. Everyone who says they don't like it is really deluding themselves, especially if they eat any kind of processed snacks or junk food. Face it people, you LOVE the stuff.

You see? Ask and ye shall deliver.

Why is this stuff so much better than regular pure Vermont or Canadian maple syrup? What does the barrel aging do for it exactly? Incidentally, has anyone else had the Hickoryworks Shagbark syrup? I've been reaching for it a lot more often than my maple. It has a smokiness that lends itself well to a lot of savory foods. http://www.hickoryworks.com/

Man I really want a stroopwaffel but I know there's not a damn place I can get one.

Some new Arthur Avenue photos:

I'm pretty sure that in Morocco, where the mint tea tradition in Israel comes from, its also spearmint. I think the Moroccan stuff is also some green tea mixed with the spearmint as well, but I can't be sure. Definitely sweet too.

Cool! IRON CHEF (料理の鉄人) CHEN KENICHI brand!
