Yup.

You know what Leo Durocher said about nice guys...... :sweat:

Well, I don't mind if I finish last if I can continue to be nice and giving to others. It's not always about the results of the race - the preparation beforehand and the race itself is, in my mind, at least as important.

Here's another quote: "No good deed ever goes unpunished."


Gomen.... Decades of accumulated cynicism. :sweat:

The good news - I think my good deeds went unpunished - she's backed off on her direct assault. Never underestimate the power of the omelet :)

Actually, all the food and clean-up work that went into her birthday played a role too - it was so over-the-top generous, I don't think many could have complained.

Win em over with kindness! (and food :))

Not sure if this has been posted here but I found this quirky cooking show on youtube called "Cooking with Dog". The host dog named "Francis" narrates lol. Good show for those who want to learn how to make popular Japanese dishes.

Seeing that the title is "Cooking with Dog," I woulda thought it'd be a Korean or Vietnamese show. :beaten:

From M*A*S*H: "Radar, these people took your dog home in a People Bag... It must've been one hell of a bun." :rofl:

I LOVE MY GRANDMA!

especially when she visits singapore and makes all those awesome food for me.

so far, i've had:
-2 large plates of kolo mee (a type of noodles originating from malaysia. the noodles are cooked, drained, then mixed with soy sauce, shallots, and stir-fried minced meat)
- fried chicken with lemon sauce
-oat prawns (basically, fried prawns with oats)

I'm so growing fat.

I am stranded here in St Louis Missouri on business. No Japanese food to speak of. What a bleak existence. :grumble:

So I met up with LMF for lunch on Wednesday, and ate at Tomi Sushi.

This was the osusume (special): a mini chirashi bowl, with gyoza, soup, salad and rice for <$10.

Like other parts of the civilized world, many foreign food items are popular in Japan. I don't think it's a "native" item.

Good book on J food: A Dictionary of Japanese Food, by Richard Hosking.

foreign or native isn't really the crux, do they boil?
that's what we want to know. :mrgreen:

You can never fail with the killer combo of raman and gyoza for hirugohan.
