This is the weekend of "Outside Lands" when loud bands take over GG Park and SF is inundated with their loud, crude, rude and clueless followers. $185 for three days of non-stop noise. Recession? We got no recession here. <br />Going back into hole to contemplate buying another copy of Barbara's cookbook.Nancy Ewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12116290968007398337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-2172459856800696922011-08-10T11:34:44.881-07:002011-08-10T11:34:44.881-07:00Nancy: Oh, I think you're thinking of noodle p...Nancy: Oh, I think you're thinking of noodle pillows. I loved them at the restaurant. Yeah, it was noisy, and you couldn't shake the feeling you were in a painted-up coffeehouse (because you were), which made the food seem kind of expensive. But so good. I'm actually glad I finally tried the book. Maybe I'll go deeper!<br /><br />Greg: The truism is "food that tastes the best is impossible to photograph." This tastes really good.<br /><br />Kudzu: Thanks again for the suggestion! Nice bit of research you did on the etymology of "strange."

Their version is great.)<br /><br />As for the name, the best I've been able to find out is that it is called that because of the character associated with it, which stands for having all five tastes/senses in the dish. Why this should be "strange" is strange indeed.kudzuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17568605434930160363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-79431112484493701972011-08-10T10:43:46.289-07:002011-08-10T10:43:46.289-07:00I love those flavors and eggplant is like a sponge...I love those flavors and eggplant is like a sponge so I'm believing.Some of the best brown food is hard to photograph.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08255032914854206547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-38361899875339143852011-08-10T10:24:38.939-07:002011-08-10T10:24:38.939-07:00I used to have Barbara's cookbook but eventual...I used to have Barbara's cookbook but eventually sold it because I never used it. But I do remember her recipe for some sort of noodle pancake. Now that was good! I did a walk through Chinatown when I took a class with her. I kept her notes for ages but eventually, they were out of date as most of the businesses went out of business or changed hands. <br />I went to the Cafe once but it was so crowded and noisy that I never went back. <br />Oh, and I would not venture too far from the hidely hole. "They" are still out there and "they" are dangerous.Nancy Ewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12116290968007398337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-7594871411088223252011-08-10T10:13:22.877-07:002011-08-10T10:13:22.877-07:00CAN WE COME OUT OF OUR HIDEY HOLES?CAN WE COME OUT OF OUR HIDEY HOLES?cookiecrumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00741894180391507513noreply@blogger.com
