^ I think about ten years ago, they recalled a ton of bottles because the oysters that they had used were contaminated with some kinda toxic waste... :sweat:

EDIT:

Wiki:
In June 2001, Britain's Food Standards Agency (FSA) identified various brands of Chinese and Southeast Asian sauces, including Lee Kum Kee products, with known carcinogens 3-MCPD and 1,3-DCP (1,3-dichloropropane-2-ol) contamination at levels hundreds of times higher than those deemed safe by the UK and European Union. However, Lee Kum Kee was not singled out, and this was an industry-wide problem, which was supposedly dealt with in 2001. Tests show that Lee Kum Kee products imported into Europe since 2001 comply with the proposed EU limit for 3-MCPD by modification of manufacturing techniques. What is not verified are products imported or consumed in other regions. For example, soy sauces (not manufactured by Lee Kum Kee) tested with 18,000 times the European limit for 3-MCPD in the 2007 Vietnam food scare, rising from 3,000 times the limit after the 2000 soy sauce scandal.

In July 2001, FSA issued another statement clearing Lee Kum Kee's name after the company produced laboratory certificates from accredited, reputable laboratories. These certificates shows that Lee Kum Kee products now comply with the proposed EU limit for 3-MCPD.

Being grumpy!
There'll be a lunar eclipse in about 11 hours (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCrxeJOPPxo)... but by then it will be morning in Europe. :grumble:

EDIT: on second hand it'll be worse if I would have to stay up for the evant and at the end see only a dark cloudy sky... :victory:

You ain't kidding.

For one, it never rains continuously like this... This is Pacific Northwest weather.

Secondly, I thought this was supposed to be a La Nina scenario: little to no rain for the winter/spring.

Meteorologists have got it all wrong yet again, it appears. :crazy:
