ugh! don't even mention that, man! i just had that happen to me a few weeks ago, and it took me two days to get my appetite back. now, i'm making up for it! ha!

All this talk of curry (see Dotch Cooking Show thread in JED) had me craving curry. So I decided to cook chicken curry. It's perfect: I get my curry fix and my wife gets to rest from cooking tonight. See? It's a win-win situation. :D

Last time I had curry I had to drown my mouth in three glasses of ice cold water. I don't remember what kind it was either....

Yep...it actually tasted pretty good at first. Then I realized I couldn't taste the curry anymore. Then I went running for water with rice sticking to my face.... :shamefulcry:

Sounds like something from a Three Stooges episode... :hehe:

Gomen.

Alright, I'm nearly healthy again... :sweat:

Watched Dry Wood Fierce Fire the other night and realized that with my crazy lifestyle and the way I've been breaking down lately (did my warranty expire?), Miriam Yeung's "Alice" character is what I need. :hehe:

PCM, I fail to see how this pertains to food. :beaten: :bonk:

I'm like 0 and 263 in terms of offering topics that elicit responses from our fair gallery here, but, let's talk bread. Breads, breads, breads.

You must needs wakarimasu that, as an island boy, me eat mostly white rice as a starch.

So, all ya'll's, 'round the world, do ya'll's have any ideas 'bout bread? Which of 'em tastes best when toasted? How 'bout anyboty out there who makes bread? Tell, tell.

I'm more of a spud guy myself, but if I do eat rice, it's usually plain jane white.

Good bread should be able to stand on it's own without toasting... :)

Sourdough is one of my faves, particularly when it's hot and fresh. Yum.

For me, a light toasting to give the bread a little crunch is really good.

I also enjoy the sourdough, especially if there is chowder inside of it. Yummy. :dancing:

Sourdough is my alltime fav! :D

*smacking lips*

Whew, right off the bat, three votes for sourdough. :thumbsup:

Bread. Ah, if not for bread... I'd only weigh about 180.

Like Cosby's old line... I'm an American, put anything between two pieces of bread, and I'll eat it.

Be it Wonder Bread, or the soft Italian bread they made in my old neighborhood in Brooklyn... I love bread.

Then I moved to San Francisco and discovered real Sourbough bread... and found out what I'd been missing all those years.

Great Googly-Moogly, Sourdough Bread fresh from Boudin's.

The only problem with going out of your way to get a fresh loaf from Boudin's is that there's never enough left for sandwiches. Everyone just wants to cut a slice, butter it, and eat it where they stand.

I keep saying "fresh". I have no idea what a "day old" piece of Boudin's sourdough would taste like. No loaf has ever lasted to a second day in my house.

Sliced sourdough is what I usually use for sandwiches.

Heh, I can say the same for the wonderful cheesebread that they sell in Solvang. And that goes for the jalapeno cheesebread too. Yum.

BMW,

Cheesebread? Oh man, what a memory cascade you just started in my head.

Back in the buggy-whip days of my youth when delivery men used to roam the neighborhoods of cities;

The Milk Man used to drive to your house every day, delivering milk, cream, eggs, and all kinds of cheese, direct from the dairy.

The Good Humor trucks used to troll the streets, ringing their bells, and offering the most outstanding ice cream treats.

And my favorite, the Dugan's Bakery truck used to hit our block 3 times a week, bringing fresh bread, fresh rolls, fresh doughnuts, cakes, pies et. al straight from the bakery, right to your door.

And they made a cheese bread the likes of which I haven't tasted in about 35 years. But I've never forgotten it.

Damn I'm hungry

Heh, we had a similar guy cruising our neighborhood when I was a kid as well.... We always referred to him as "The Donut Man..." Fresh donuts, pastries, pies, cakes in slide out trays... Wow.

Damn I'm hungry

So am I. :puppydog:
