i think i have met my "lumpia"

there was a good recipe for roasted fig pork cutlet in yesterday's LA Time food section... it's going in my recipe box... except i'd add balsamic vinegar.

that's the panko i use but it's inferior to what they use in japanese tonkastsu restaurants...not that it's bad.....it's just not as good.

have you guys tried putting it in the oven for a few minutes.. takes out the moisture..

Yeah, I do notice the crumb size discrepancy... Maybe I'll ask the waitress at my usual hangout this Saturday...

i did notice that the torrance mitsuwa does sell more than one brand of panko tho.....

I noticed that, too... But I was familiar with the Shirakiku brand so I bought that one...

On that Dotch cooking show a ways back, they had an excerpt on some guy in Japan who makes the best panko and he starts with the best bread, which is homemade, of course... It was fascinating and terrifying at the same time to see this guy bust a hump for bread crumbs. Such dedication. :victory:

wow that must have been very interesting!

i'd learned alot from watching that show.

It was... Morbid fascination.

The guy chucked a buncha loaves when he tasted one or two of 'em and thet didn't pass his ultra-refined taste test.

"There are people starving in India, dude!!!!"

he could have at least donated it to one of the five million crows in Japan

Just got back from having Brazilian. It was like a cafe style, not a sit-down place. I had some fork-tender meat, large portions, and some flan.

I'm sleepy. :sleep:

I cooked Tuscan Chicken last night and my husband loved it. For something that I cooked for the first time, it didn't come out bad.

I even used chardonnay for the first time, rosemary and shallots!!! I went Rachel Ray on their ass*s last night and even refered to the Extra Virgin Olive Oil as EVOO.

I think my husband thinks I'm a complete utter dork at this point.
