The curry pack in that box is "medium" spicy. In my experience Japanese curries are very very very mild, even when the box is labeled HOT with pictures of red chilies. The blocks also thicken then broth, so unless you like your curries soupy you should add all the blocks.

I am so loving excited right now :dance: because this place apparently just opened a little ways away from where I work. It is supposed to be fantastic. http://chinapastahouse.com/China_Pasta_House/menu.html


That place looks amazing. Although for a place called China Pasta House I expected a Chinese/Italian fusion bistro?

Did these come peeled already? Were they sliced? Was it an egg by itself or served as a side to accompany something? Were there pictures? If there weren't you should go back and take pictures.

I want a place like that here, in my most fantastical daydreams it's what we turn Chin's Cafe into.

I hope this is the right place to post this. I'm starting to keep track of what I eat, trying to lose a bit of weight and working out to develop some muscle. I'm trying to determine roughly how many calories, etc are in my daily breakfast. The label lists the info for uncooked bacon, what I'm trying to figure out is how much that information is changed by cooking. I figure the calories and stuff would be a bit lower since I'm not drinking the grease that comes off the bacon.

I've tried using the about.com calorie site but the info there doesn't seem to jive with the label. It's Maple Leaf regular bacon, and I have a food scale on the way if that makes any difference. Thanks for the help guys!

Since you have a scale, collect and weigh the bacon grease after cooking, then subtract the number of calories from the total precooked calories.

Or don't worry that hard about it because it'll all average out in the long run. As long as you're approaching your goal, a couple grams of unaccounted for bacon isn't going to hurt.

Anyone caught The Avengers yet? I'm checking it out tomorrow with some people who are beyond excited about it, which always makes me a bit nervous. I saw Fellowship of the Ring with a huge Tolkien fan and it wasn't a pleasant experience.

I haven't seen it yet but I've heard lots of good reports. Whedon's sense of humor and snappy one liners are said to match the Avengers personalities well. Have you checked out the animated series on netflix? I like watching a couple episodes every Saturday while eating breakfast, reminds me of being a kid again.

I spent all yesterday with my father in law... working at his restaurant.
They had found some good deals on seafood that day so we had some amazing food.

For lunch we ate a whole steamed tile fish and stir fried tofu with char siu and green beans.



I promise there's a fish under all that scallion and ginger and cilantro.
There's no pretty way to plate it, you just dig out a chunk of fish with your chopsticks and have at it. I split one of the cheeks with Mr. Charmmi, the other one went to his dad.



Dinner was Lobster Canton, chunks of lobster stir fried in a savory eggy sauce. This is where the sauce in Shrimp and Lobster Sauce comes from.

I had a super good America Day. I ate three ears of corn. And then I ate a whole pile of oysters, some steamed some raw. I shucked my first oyster ever yesterday, and then a few more. I did not cut or stab myself. I played with my cat and then some video games and then did some crochet. I even had time to get a nap in before bedtime. Everything pretty much happened the way I wanted it to and that makes me feel pretty good.

Today I googled "Weather Vagina" so gently caress you guys.

I've been watching a lot of non-Asians eat noodle soup and it can be a pretty messy spectacle. This is what I do: Tear off the basil leaves before adding to the soup. I rip them into smaller pieces. Add the bean sprouts to the soup, mix it into the hot broth and they will soften a little bit. I also add a slice or two of jalapeno and a squirt of lime. Squeeze in some sriracha and hoisin. Mix it all up. Chopsticks in main hand, spoon in off hand. Sometimes I build little bits on the spoon: a bit of twirled up noodle, a piece of meat, a bit of basil, a bit of soup. Other times I eat the noodles straight. You will need to lean close to the bowl so you don't splash broth all around. Use the soup soon to drink the soup until there's not enough to spoon. Then you pick it up, bring it to your face, and tilt back. Most importantly don't feel like you're doing it wrong or adding the wrong thing in the wrong order. If it tastes good to you then you're doing it right. It's weird you had to ask for a spoon though. I've never had pho where there wasn't a caddy of spoons and chopsticks and sauces on the table.

I feel like bragging. I was helping my inlaws make about 500 chinese dumplings one afteroon. I was the best dumpling maker. These were all restaurant owning folk. One lady had never made wrappers from scratch, they'd always used store bought wonton wrappers. The last time I made dumplings was when I was 8 years old watching my grandmother. She worked the rolling pin with one hand while turning the wrapper with the other. I even remembered you're supposed to roll the wrappers so that the middle is slightly thicker than the outside edge so the dumplings don't get too doughy where the edges are crimped together. I made my ancestors proud. Hooray.
