At least most of your options seem pretty good. Looks like only a couple clunkers so far - so I'm not worried about you withering away!

Yeah, I figured but I just threw it out there. Thinking a little more though, sitting wouldn't really work for any kind of stir fry, not to mention doing the prep beforehand - washing/cutting/chopping is hard to do sitting down - especially whne you can't do it all in one place.

Does anyone deliver a bar stool? That should be about the right height next to teh stove top. I was considering getting one for when I made rendang.. haha

Yeah, I had a couple small tomatoes, so I halved them and threw them in.

Elk mapo tofu...

What a feast and so glad you got to see your Mom! Happy birthday!

Looks great. Can your house cook for me too? All mine does is sit around and keep me from getting rained on...

Fingerroot is a rhizome used in some SE Asian cooking. In Thai it's called grachai or krachai. The rhizome is long and skinny, like a finger. As usual, the Wikipedia entry isn't quite right - it is a different rhizome than lesser galangal. As an example of usage, it is one of the predominant flavors in the Thai dish Pad Cha. It has a very unique and distinctive flavor and one I find hard to describe - somewhat medicinal but in a good way?

Wow - a finger root plant! Now I'm the one that's jealous! I love fingerroot, but the only way I can get the rhizome is either frozen or pickled. The frozen is better, but still not nearly as pungent as the fresh.

Yunnan style elk with herbs, 7 to be exact, 4 from the garden.

Drool....

Wow!!! Bond St is still open? My wife and I used to go there when we were dating - like 17-18 years ago! Obviously we haven't been back in a while but I'm glad to see they're still going. Which room did they seat you in?

Made a new batch of chicken stock, so.... Mien ga

Pad cha pla salmon....

Where is @shain when you need her?

The Marie Antoinette was really hard to describe - maybe kind of like perfume? It was really good - I'd get it again...

Finally able to make some more Bak Kut Teh..... And of course, what is a weekend without some kuih from Lady Wong

I live in that neighborhood - lots of great food here.

Singapore style chicken curry. One of my favorites.... With homemade roti prata and baby bok choi. I thought I had a potato which this dish is great with, but alas, no...

Do you grow them in Hydroton?

If you're in the East village to check out NYU, take a look at Kanoyama on 2nd Ave and E11th st...

2 ounces? That's a mouthful once stir fried

that's hilarious... not only is it ridiculously cheap, our pea shoots are typically much older and sometimes a little tough - they're more like pea stems than pea shoots.

Looks like mint.

I recently made pork stock, so Nyonya chicken curry....
