What did they think was going to happen if you call it Pink SLIME?

As large or small as you want them... The batter doesnt get thick until cooked so you can make several hand sized cakes until its all used up. Read the recipe, it explains your purple colored one

I used the recipe here http://pwmf.blogspot.com/2005/10/bnh-da-ln-steamed-tapioca-layered-cake.html I think that recipe makes enough for two "cakes". Be light on the greasing of the pan, as the oil seeped up and the first 2 layers dont stick together as well. Also, you can freeze the slices in a vacuum bag and nuke em (wrapped with wet paper towels) to reconstitute the "elasticky springiness" (for lack of better words) I added food color as the pandan leaves didnt color sufficiently

Hes also stated that "I'm a chef, I only make tuna salad with fresh tuna steaks, "we" dont use canned goods" He claims his "Bistro" is in the theater district of NYC and they only serve lunch. UGH so tired of him

Isnt a CHEF a person who has gone through CHEFS School and graduated? Like my cousin went to the CIA and spent time at the Cordon Bleu (I cant recall the extent) A Cook is someone who has cooked at restaurants but hasnt had formal training. Rachael Ray is a COOK.

Dear eGullteers, I am by no means a CHEF, I am barely a COOK, having worked as a fry cook and waitress at a small dive in the late 80s for 4 years. I am a FOODIE and a choosy one at that. I have more food knowledge then some average friends NOT on eGullet (I am in awe of you all) People tend to ask me food questions... Recently a man was invited to a social circle I am on online and upon seeing my "foodie" pics and hearing me talking about food began making snide comments such as, "Don't you ever cook anything normal?" upon seeing my pics of Japanese Octopus and Scallion "salad" w/ miso mustard dressing... He claims he's a chef with a bistro in NYC but some of us know more than he does about food. We feel he is also lying about other things as well. Our circle is divided now, he has many admirers, but many adversaries... The atmosphere is starting to become tense as some of us can feel that hes spitting out lie after lie and his "fans" lap it all up. Are there any questions we can pose to him to prove he's a REAL CHEF? Like things only CHEFS know? We don't want to attack him or call him out cause that'd make us look bad. but maybe he will back down himself if he knows some of us are on to him... Signed, Tired and Hungry

Smallworld, I used it in Hiyajiru and I tasted NOTHING, it added nothing.

That looks really great! What about that one in yellow plastic? That was VEGAN SNAIL

I had a green one yesterday, DELICIOUS!

runwestierun? I agree. I have added all the eGullet recommended brands of gourmet tuna to my wish list. I bought Marmite Cereal Bars from AmazonUK I buy full phosphate commercial dish detergent. I bought the exclusive OXO Good Grips Japanese cooking utensils from Amazon Japan Daikon Grater http://www.amazon.co.jp/OXO-%E3%82%AA%E3%82%AF%E3%82%BD%E3%83%BC-1071758-%E5%A4%A7%E6%A0%B9%E3%82%B0%E3%83%AC%E3%83%BC%E3%82%BF%E3%83%BC/dp/B000FFQT8M/ref=sr_1_39?ie=UTF8&qid=1331899938&sr=8-39 Miso Breaker Upper w/Sieve http://www.amazon.co.jp/OXO-%E3%82%AA%E3%82%AF%E3%82%BD%E3%83%BC-1058006-%E3%82%B0%E3%83%83%E3%83%89%E3%83%BB%E3%82%B0%E3%83%AA%E3%83%83%E3%83%97%E3%82%B9-%E5%91%B3%E5%99%8C%E3%81%93%E3%81%97%E3%82%BB%E3%83%83%E3%83%88/dp/B0001BDD20/ref=sr_1_92?ie=UTF8&qid=1331899977&sr=8-92 Rice Paddle http://www.amazon.co.jp/OXO-%E3%82%AA%E3%82%AF%E3%82%BD%E3%83%BC-1071757-%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A4%E3%82%B9%E3%82%B9%E3%82%AF%E3%83%BC%E3%83%97/dp/B000FFQT96/ref=sr_1_66?ie=UTF8&qid=1331899962&sr=8-66 As a side note I bought my new A/C from Amazon. $250.00 free shipping 25,000 btu heavy duty remote Energy Star...

I buy lots. But I must say that I buy dry dog food from them cause its $9.00 less than driving to Petsmart and its free 2nd day shipping.

Just another reason to buy your own meat and a meat grinder

Okay, well,Im looking for a kit that has all the necessary "chemicals" in it. I just want a kit with all those included. I can buy equipment as I graduate each step... I just want to have the latest in chems

So can all you pros recommend a good beginners MG kit? The Japanese Popin Cookin kits have given me a taste of spherification and now I want more...

The same reason that Suzanne Somers waited 3 weeks before coming up with the story of breast cancer afterNational Enquirer caught her all bandaged up coming out the back door of a plastic surgery clinic... MONEY MONEY MONEY....MONEY!

Baby Kohlrabi?

Dessert Steak

How many TJs Turkish Dried apricots is too much?

Okay Kris I am over the cold and can smell the Galangal Flowers I bought, they smell of gardenia-ish musk is this kinda like what Myoga is like? Is it floral?

If grains and flours smell like Crayons toss them...

Can I substitute these http://i.imgur.com/EW6CV.jpg Galangal Flowers?

Are these lye water treated noodles referred to as "CHEWING NOODLES"?
