Nice find. Green papaya salad is my touchstone dish for Thai and I've been lucky to have a great one at the big Buddhist temple here in North Hollywood. Pounded innffrront of you. I dream about it. Been too long. https://www.latimes.com/food/story/2022-06-13/wat-thai-temple-food-court-thai-food-sun-valley

How does he seaon/spice his applesauce? Or just great apples?

I had 2 neighbors who fished Alaska annually - the halibut was so so good. I miss them! Nice patient + good doc = good things.

With ya! I used to get a similar French one at 99Cent. Perfect thickness and bitter. Alas no more.

Sounds good to me. Is the background some type of terrazzo style stone? I like it.

Halibut + nuggets = not words I expect to see together. Did you get an inside shot? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8aRKgcTssM

Ha! My avatar dog Murphy would worship all night when I did crock pot chicken stock, wait patiently as I decanted next morn and put some in a big stainless biwl for him to clean up/slurp up. I was good with smell.

Thank goodness Ms Scout had that water to cool off in! Ummm - we wanna see the board nekkid! Your offerings a nice selection though

We are very fortunate here in Southern California to have local mussels thanks to the off-shore farming like this https://catalinasearanch.com/mussels

Oh my. Hopefully the food will balance out the travel annoyances. I can not handle all the cutesy Japanese Hello Kitty kind of stuff but we all have different preferences/cultures. Thans for the out of plane window images - cool.

Funny memory boost. My big preggo crave was the Wienerschnitzel fried chicken sandwich - heavy smear of mayo, good tomato, iceberg lettuce. Online does not shw as an item that far back. I still miss it. Hit the spot. I'd waddle around corner for it and dab each bit in Tabasco. Yum.

I think Lite & light get conflated in American minds. Barbara Tropp turned me onto Pearl River Mushroom soy which I used to stock as a different flavor.

Yes the always on the shelf Kikkoman soy is the standard for my Japanese friends. The vinegar for mirin sub agreed not on point - just balance taste with touch of sugar. That molasses thing sounds more like a sub for kecap manis https://www.daringgourmet.com/homemade-kecap-manis-indonesian-sweet-soy-sauce/ Love Udon nodle texture.Have fun

I grew up with brothy soup. Just broth + homemade thin egg noodles (boiled separately to not cloud) and maybe the carror, gizzrd or heart from broth. But there woukd be a met & potato course to follow. Pho for breakfast = a favorite. I like personalizing my bowl.

A touch of fish sauce is nice in a tomato salsa as well. I think @nakji gave me that hint.

Funny - to me soup was our classic Sunday meal.The noodles made earlier in week by Alte Oma - fine egg noodles, Boiled separately to not cloud the broth. Beef eaten as 2nd course with boiled potatoes, and choice of tomato or sour cream+horseradish sauce. Oh that beef broth! Linda like this but the onions were studded with cloved https://www.wien.info/en/dine-drink/viennese-cuisine/recipes/classical-viennese-beef-soup-343382

You should frame image and gift it to cuz. You have an eye. I only attemted sugar art once (except for the spun sugar cage thing)in my early 20's It was quite beautiful but no cellphone easy images then Roses for mom on Mday I think. .

So no gizzard or liver - sounds tasty though

You did not cook this or?

I did the same. Chainsaws echoing here thru canyons dealing with downed trees and I also thought alluding to some horror movie.

I think it is the odd American "Chicken Parm". Don't like it. But tastes vary. https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1017169-chicken-parmesan

Count your blessings. As I look across canyon at huge outdoor kitchen the evil neighbor constructed -gives me pleasure to think he may have to deal with the little critters.

Oh no. When I was breeding birds and had lots o seed stored - they chew right through plastic - then trp thmselves inside cuz can;t climb up slippery side. Not pretty. bRats are even more agressive.

Yes Denver is what the diners call it here. Like the zuke bloom add.

White surfers in Baja buy it by the case - a clue...
