Next time.. read a newsgroup for a while. You'll
see newcomers whine that same lament as you just
did, and yet none seem to ever contribute anything
either? Perhaps you're here looking to be
entertained? Stick around. We can be very
entertaining. Or toss out a topic of interest if
you really want to discuss food. Otherwise ESAD.

You must be a newbie to usenet....... ;-)

You may notice, if you bothered looking, that the MAJORITY of the posts
ARE about cooking, and there were a lot of cooking references thrown
into this thread as well.

Must be a type "A" personality. :-P

Welcome anyway.......

Sure. Since your only contribution was all whiney and pouty, you'll be easy
to ignore.

Think nothing of it, toots.

Tonight I trimmed and cubed a chuck roast. I braised it in ponzu, a
dash of rice wine vinegar, lemon juice, a dash of sambal oelek, a
little basil honey and ginger.

I served it over soba noodles with some chopped fresh Asian basil,
cilantro and furikake.

Oh yeah? Well, I'm currently baking chopped up, overcooked, pork loin
roast with sauerkraut! Top THAT!

The only unfamiliar ingredient on his list to me is Sambal Oelek - I've

It's an Indonesian chile sauce. Basically chiles, salt and maybe a
little vinegar.

Where do you find these exotic ingredients, Michael? Please don't tell me
that was just a fancy name for roast braised in chicken stock and served on
spaghetti noodles!

Campbell's tomato soup with milk (okay, half-and-half) instead of
water.

Okay, it's trashy, but I have a toothache, and I want to have the

I've never acquired a taste for tomato soup made with milk. Mom always
used water, so that's what my preference is. But, unless you added a shot
of worcestershire and a sprinkling of basil, that soup just isn't as
glamorous as dried up pork and sauerkraut. What else have you got?

My "sick soup" is Chicken with Stars. We keep several cans on hand.

I hope you're feeling better soon. Tooth pain is the WORST!

Ooh, I got it! I made a quick "carbonara"-ish sauce for Guy's dinner
the other day -- fried up some bacon, added half-and-half, mixed it
into spaghetti with butter and parmesan.

I dislike chicken soup with two exceptions: My mom's matzoh ball
soup, and Lipton cream of chicken Cup-a-Soup (speaking of trashy).

Comfort food for me is almost always something creamy. Not sure why,
and it's kind of unfair, since milk makes me sick.

Thanks so much. Only about 32 hours until my dentist appointment.

Tomorrow, but I couldn't wait. Went to the doc and got hopped up on
Cipro and Celebrex and now I can eat soft foods again. Not ready for

In Richardson, TX (suburban Dallas) there's a strip mall called
"Chinatown," and in that mall there's a store I like called Asia
World. Many, many, many cool items can you find there. They have a
boatload of Chinese foods and sauces and spices. They have an isle of
Japanese foods. They have isles of South Asian foods. They have
isles of Southeast Asian foods.

I get there infrequently because I live out here in Cow Hill, but I
was able to drop a few bucks there over the weekend. Hence the ponzu,
basil, soba, and sambal.

Bouncing around a decent Asian market can be a little intimidating,
but it can also be fun.
