I had my fill of durian a few years back in Singapore... I actually really liked the flavor and texture, but didn't like how the flavor lingered.... for hours!!!

The Thai store on Mosco St? If so I'm happy to hear they're still open! But why brown sugar instead of palm sugar?

Moving on to Vietnam.... Goi Xaoi Ga - mango salad with roasted chicken thighs and some sawtooth coriander and rau ram from my garden as well as green onion and Thai basil. Thighs were done in the CSO

@liamsaunt Can I join your family???? Jeez that looks good...

I loved those fried. Good snack with beer. But to be honest I thought the fried crickets were better.

I've now used the CSO to steam whole fish twice. Both times it performed admirably but it was a bit of a learning curve as the steaming times are a little longer than they'd be than if I was using a traditional steamer on the stovetop.

Still in that Thai feeling... Steamed dorade with lime juice broth. Simple flavors but addictive! Shown with a lovely skin contact orange wine from Israel!

Fantastic! Exactly what I was looking for!!!!! Thanks!

pics or it didn't happen...

Some of those were exactly what I was looking for, but unfortunately, it's only 2 of us - I don't need a dozen of them!

I'm trying to get away from the wide shallow bowl to a deeper one commonly used in Asia... a plus if made from melamine or some other mostly indestructible (and cheap) material....

Homemade Thai Chicken noodle soup... With a beautiful chenin.... Because it's Saturday! BTW, I need new soup bowls for these Asian noodle soups and noodle bowls.... Any suggestions? I can't make it down to Chinatown any time soon....

I have some home made small batch lebne from a local Middle Eastern store that I bought a few weeks ago and have kept in the refrigerator. It has no markings of "use by" or any other expiration type dates on it. How can I tell if it's still good and when it's time to throw it out? Obviously, I have very little experience with yogurt type products!

I did save some seeds! It was years ago though, so I don't know how viable they are anymore... I just don't have the space to grow it now that I have a 5x5 grow tent in the middle of my living room... and the fact that (hopefully) we'll be moving in a few months, so long as our building allows us to start renovations some time soon. Plus, once in the new apartment (that has a 14' ceiling) I'd really like to make a hydroponic living wall filled with tropical plants... that would be really cool...

Welcome! I love Viet Nam! One of my favorite trips was to Saigon a few years back... my wife and I were planning on taking another trip in December to the south - delta area, etc., but I don't know what's going to happen now with the whole coronavirus thing - I don't know how I feel about taking a 30 hour flight... anyways, I'd love to hear about your experiences!
