Thanks Shiewie for an excellent and very informative week

I'm very intrigued -- I was given a very expensive, upscale pressure cooker about eight years ago and I'VE NEVER USED IT...
Maybe it is time for some experiments -- any advice for a newbie?
Yeah, great thread. I am in nearly the exact same boat. I'm sure the unit we were given is a very nice one but I've never gathered the nerve to give it a whirl.

Next week it's a Mexican restauarant in Shakopee--that's inconvenient for everyone, too.
I'm pretty sure that's the home of the MN Renaissance Faire, so at least it'll be convenient for the Lords and Ladies

It's a really simple recipe though - just stir fry some minced garlic with slices of ginger, add some tau cheong once the garlic and ginger are slightly brown. Once the tau cheong smells aromatic, add chicken pieces that's been marinated with some salt and pepper to brown with some light soy sauce. When the chicken is brown, add water and potatoes to simmer till all is cooked.
Yum...can't wait to give this a go.
Thanks Shiewie!

Meson Sabika on Aurora Ave. in Naperville is a decent tapas/Spanish place, but I haven't eaten there in a couple of years.
My office is in the same building as the Northfield outpost of Meson Sabika. Their food has always been darned good and pretty consistent. That said, about 2 years ago the owner moved Chef Randy from Northfield to their Naperville location and the Northfield location dipped slightly in quality of food and service. I guess the good news is that if Chef Randy's still at that location it's probably very good...maybe as good as their Northfield location used to be.

FYI, my first review for the Star Tribune is here.

Very nice review Bruce and Karen. Aside from the specifics about the food, I like the way you create a picture of the space and also provide context for the entity as a whole. Very descriptive, yet economically-worded too.
Thanks for sharing that...

come on don't tell me no one else was even slightly grossed out by the though of beef brisket on cinnamon bread.
Not exactly my cup of tea, but I don't like cranberries anywhere near my turkey either...

just finished a bowl of rice krispies.
Whole, 2% or skim...?
=R=
D: 1%
the one you left out.
I have a group of college friends with which I regularly share a vacation house for the week. After years of having to buy four different kinds of milk, I buy whole and skim and let people mix their own.

I used to have a roommate in college who would only eat cereal with half and half. Pretty sure he's dead by now

Farm Raised Salmon
in Kitchen Consumer
Posted
The 2 arguments against farm-raised salmon that I hear most often are:
1) the by-products of the farming are bad for the environment.
2) the fish are fed colored food to impart color in their flesh.
These were both also alluded to upthread. I've read enough about this topic only to know that there is some validity to both points but whether or not they are the truly the "root of evil" is another matter.
