  1. Is this a giant Eryngi?

    gallery_24165_402_30049.jpg

    I bought this "King Oyster" mushroom yesterday.... Its about the size of my hand!!

    Im contemplating how best to prepare this giant thing!  Any ideas?

    I slice these cross wise, sprinkle with some salt, pepper, and dot it with butter and bake them in the oven. After i take them out, I sprinkle with a little bit of chopped parsley.

  2. My grandma used to grate them like she was making hash browns. And deep fry them. I forgot if she battered them or not, she might have because they were like little round patties.... TASTY!

  3. i wonder if anyone here has drunk Kopi Luak?

    Coffee beans harvested from Civet cat poop.

    Gross! I hate civet cats because they used to walk and shit under my house in Terengganu, Malaysia every night, plus I was worried they would eat my chickens. And they left a horrible smell even if they didn't shit under the house. (Traditional Malay village houses, especially in a very flood-prone area like where I was living, were always on stilts, elevated some feet off the ground, so all manner of creatures could and did walk around under the house.) They were much worse than skunks, which only stink when they spray! Where did you have Kopi Luak?

    Didn't SARS come from civet cats... (shudders)

  4. I just bought a package of natto with a light kombu type sauce. And the natto was all chopped up too...i actually prefer the whole beans versus the chopped. Seems like this brand or style of serving made the whole eating experience seem less natto like with the smell and texture. The sauce was A LOT sweeter than what I'm used to, I think it'd be good tossed with dried slivered seaweed and udon noodles.

  5. Wow there is a Furaibo in LA as well that I went to Tuesday night. One notable dish was yamaimo and mentaiko, washed down with some cold beer. It was delicious.

    I used to frequent Furaibo in Nagoya for spicy tebasaki and cold beer.  There was also a family-run izakaya located in an old part of Nagoya that had been spared the ravages of war that had the biggest and best tebasaki.

    There was also a huge izakaya called Yagi-ya where they had a great spicy Thai-inspired  chicken dish, and these huge ice cream parfaits that could feed 5 people!!! 

    Other dishes that I liked to order were miso nasu, agedashi-dofu, and aspara-bacon.
