nope, i have to do it from the pier or something, lakes and streams i've had no luck.

i think it's a visual thing, you can't see in the plane, but on the water you can see stuff move and your brain compensates. for me, nothing works, unless im driving, even now, i start to get a little ill if its really winding.

Air pressure/inner ear problem for me. Sucks. My bad landing coming back from Norway this year completely incapacitated me. They had to wheel me through immigration. So embarrassing. :ashamed: But I couldnt walk.

On Topic: With this cold wet weather Im thinking a nice bowl of soup. Maybe clam chowder. :mrgreen:

I only can eat the green ones. But I do like them soaked in vodka. Only way I like vodka. :beaten:

it was a super salty treat, there is a way to make it less so, but i didn't have time to look it up.

:shocked: :shocked: Pricey.

very. it was a gourmet super bowl party where everyone made something nice and brought it or cooked it there. no nachos, no 7 layer dip, no chips, etc. the olives cost me about $14 and two tins of anchovies to stuff them with.

Spain is renowned for its canned food, seafood in particular. I recently went to the SLS Hotel on La Cienega and we ate a few things while at their bar, Bar Centro, which basically has tapas on their menu. One of things we had was the in-house canned Kumamoto oysters. They were bombay, man.

Heading over to my brother's house this Saturday... Some good eats are merited. :woot: :victory:

do all miso paste contain monosodium glutamate ?

Not naturally. MSG is usually added as a "flavor enhancer." There must be some brands that are organic and unadulterated by artificial chemicals such as MSG.

Short answer is no. Some mass producers add it to enhance flavor without aging. I have "Hikari" brand red miso paste, it's imported/produced by JFC Intl. I can't handle much msg, so i do seek out foods that have none or only natural concentrations.

After I gave up K, I used to cook MSG and fluff it up with my AMEX card.
