Seriously though I doubt anyone of the characters on this board would be that hard to have a meal with BEP is entertaining and interesting so its a no brainer yes....even though I disagree with her on a few things...
Every single person I've met from this board IRL has been top notch. I mean that.
Besides that, I've broken bread (and beer) with Dave Lane, so I just as well dine with both ends of the DC spectrum. :-) [Reply]

When i was a kid Mom had to have one for a flower planter. Damn thing must have weighed 500 lbs. Dad got it at the steel company in KC. Dad welded a frame me and my brother dug post holes then set the frame in concrete. We suspended it on the frame with chains then painted it flat black. All on mothers day weekend. Sis got the flowers we filled with soil. Mom has cherished that sucker for over 40 years. It made one transfer to their last home.
I dont know where to find one as most the still mills have gone the way of the dinosaur in the US. Maybe estate sale or wrought iron fabricator they do a lot of decorative stuff. I will keep an eye out i get all over this country. Taking land from rightful owners for pipelines [Reply]

Still yolkey. It was OK. I think my wife will like it better than I did. I always see these things and think it sounds great, forgetting that I'm not a huge egg fan, and especially poached eggs. Easy and fast, though. [Reply]

The flavor was fine, but it was yolkey eggs. I'm not opposed to runny yolks - I've had dishes I really like with runny yolks. But generally I like over hard.
FMB, you said you did fried rice, assuming Chinese style? What's the trick, tried making take out style and can't even come close. Went with long grain and cooked the day before, then fried, still turned out like mush and none of the taste. [Reply]

Did you mix in a little dog and cat meat :-) [Reply]

Screaming hot pan, first and foremost.
So here's what I do. Get the pan hot, high smoke point oil. Quickly fry onion, ginger, and chile flakes. Add any veg you're going to use. I like snap peas particularly well. Add garlic for just a few seconds, then rice. Add soy sauce, fish sauce, and oyster sauce and toss. Finish with cashews and mirin or lemon juice.
If you're going to do egg or meat, do it first and set aside, add at the end. [Reply]
