the ones I am familiar with do have an ammonia odor, it some time to get used to that.

well, you click on the new topic button and................................

I made cauliflower soup for lunch today, combining a couple ideas pulled from the thread. I made roasted cauliflower last night and saved a portion for the soup. I but this roasted cauliflower into a saucepan with some milk and a little stock, simmered it for about 15 minutes until it was very soft. I then pureed it with an immersion blender, too lazy to use the real blender. I could ahve strained it put I didn't, was going to chop it with some chives but forgot. Seasoned with salt and pepper and ate it, quite good in fact!

I like Korean food, but I've never had bibimbop. Next time I eat Korean I'm going to have to try it. Don't forget to have some yuke with your bibimbap!

i'm with him. err, her. you will get it right some day tommy. Last meals.................one of my biggest pet peeves!

I made these back when the article came out and was actually disappointed. I think I will go back and give it another try they were really easy.

You mean shiro-yaki (white grilled) Here is a picture of both: http://www.unagi-kawakami.co.jp/ The shiro-yaki version is good with wasbijoyu (wasabi and soy sauce), or soy and giner, or even ponzu.

I make mine similar to that masterchef recipe 2/3 cup soy 2/3 cup sake 2/3 cup mirin 1 to 2 Tablespoons of sugar I make a huge batch and keep it in the regriferator for quite a while so I don't add anything else, this way also I can doctor it up a bit depending on my feeling. Some ginger, some scallion, some garlic, some pineapple , or a little of everything. It is a great base sauce and great on its own.

I wonder how many of these killers offered their victims a last meal of their choice? Why should they get a choice? and 3 times?

A couple of years ago I bought a non-stick angel food pan with out thinking anything about it. The center is too narrow to place over a wine bottle! so I had to rig a contraption of some wooden sppons taped to togther placed in a flower vase. I left it hanging upside down, left the house and came back a couple hours later and found the cake had slid out of the pan, half of it wedged into the vase and completely smashed in. It still tasted good!

Tuesday night: poached chicken breast and avocado salad with mixed greens, white mushrooms, and cucumbers dressed with yesterday's leftover balsamic-dijon dressing roasted cauliflower satsumaimo (Japanese sweet potao) simmered in milk Japanese rice

One Japanese friend that I always went to Chinse resaturants with ordered this every single time and I actually got so sick of it that I haven't eaten it since college! I have never really seen the same thing in Japan though.

interesting, very interesting!

are we still counting? If so add 3 more for me and I promise I will not buy any more for at least a month!

Monday night dinner: One big salad! mixed greens black olives roasted cannellini beans (just a handful was leftover from 2 nights ago) tomatoes homemade croutons chicken breasted seasoned with cajun spice blend, sauteed and sliced dressed with a balsamic-dijon dressing

No cooking on Sunday, had a BBQ at a friend's house. my contributions: tabouleh raspberry crumb bars

agree, very sad! All the young people I know over here love it!

So theres a hot dog inside the crust? yes!

Jin's sentiments exactly!

Saturday dinner: Tuscan style cannellini beans baked with rosemary and garlic (from Jack Bishop's Italian Vegetarian) tomato and bread salad zucchini fittata recipe: http://recipes.egullet.com/recipes/r311.ht...2ecf2cc1e2f0991 dessert: Costco apple pie

Oh, but I like him so I put them in anyway and let him worry about picking them out! I too, love all sorts of dried fuit with couscous.

Went to Costco Japan yesterday and kicked off the spring welcome by buying a smoker and 50 lbs of charcoal. I was very disappointed that they didn't have whole chickens, this was the only store I knew in Japan that always had them. Sometimes I wonder about the stuff they are selling in this country, yesterday I saw a kids swimming pool and a hammock both larger then my backyard! and I have quite a large backyard by Japanese standards.

My MIL just gave me a bottle of Lee Kum Kee brand oyster sauce w/ dried scallops. Has anyone ever used this? It has an incredible essence of dried scallops. Bought at Costco Japan, by the way.
