Last post by RAGER - March 22, 2024, 09:46:15 PMRecently picked these up. The Sichuan book has been out for like 20 years and I've always heard of it but never picked it up. It was sitting right next to the other one at the bookstore so I grabbed it too. I already have his other book The Food Of Northern Thailand which is really great and the direction I normally cook Thai food. He's tight with Andy Ricker too (Pok Pok) and contributed some photos to Andy's books. But man this one goes Deep South. Really intense. It's also a beautiful book. Wow.
This morning I cooked a far different khua kling than I've ever cooked. More herbaceous and with added galangal and black pepper. I've always like the added heat of Vietnamese Kampot peppercorns. It was a very good lunch. Spicy

Food and Drink / Re: BBQ!
Last post by Pissy - March 20, 2024, 09:01:22 PMI've found the best bbq thermometer in my experience so far. ThermPro.
Now, it does the same thing most all of them do but, I've left it in the rain multiple times, for days sometimes, and it's still going. If you leave it face down, it'll need drying out. I did that by opening it up, and blowing all the water out of it. But leaving it upright, or on its back, no issues.
The other thing is, I've left it on for long periods- days- only to come back and it's still going. So it's easy on batteries. I clean the probe with a Clorox wipe.
It comes with a remote monitor, with set points and alarms if you want to take a nap while you're cooking. I don't care about that, actually I lost that part for a while, didn't miss it. Found it in the grill compartment a few months ago.
But yeah, the ThermPro gets my thumbs up.

Last post by Muffin Man - March 20, 2024, 08:42:28 PMDoes Chinese cooking wine come in anywhere? Not sure how to use it but I have a bottle. Will pick up some Sherry for the creamy miso mushroom pasta. I also need cream, I have the Parm Regg and organic scallions. Scallions are looking good. Also have oraganic shallots for something.

oooh, hey now. Might sprinkle over some dulse that I got from the co-op - I'm using it in a lot of things - gives a nice saltyish sea-note. Gonna need a bigger shaker of that.
