[sunni]

Wow that sure is gorgeous do my a fav have a glass of white wine for me at some point !

 

[Don Gin and Ton]

I'm sure I can manage that Sunni. I generally go with rosé but I can make an exception.

the town has cool history to it. They threw the losing aide of some old civil war off the bridge through the town its a good thousand foot down

 

[Don Gin and Ton]

found a bar that gives free little bowls of paella on the weekend.
was pretty good.

my lady went out to a new cocktail joint in town and had some weird.shiz, a drink served with smoke and one in a tea cup with rose petals.

It was for a competition actually, part of a 3 course.... I lost the pics of my other 2 courses though.

But I won the black box! Best App and dessert.... App was tuna tartare with an avocado/greek yogurt puree, and broccoli stem salad marinaded in a light Asian dressing, served with a few drops of ginger oil and deep fried won tons.

I'd prob cost it at about $14 though... had to make the cheese, and calvados is quite expensive.... the rest wasn't too bad though, really.... frozen blueberries for the coulis, 1 apple in total, 1 sheet of pyllo folded.....

Really? I find there's lots of work in chinese cuisine... so many little tasks... like rolling buns, and julienne shit.. lol

Making a million little slices in the side of a fish, and pouring hot oil over it for 15 mins straight until it's cooked just perfectly... lol

 

[Don Gin and Ton]

i stand corrected. your average home cook wouldn't be doing that shiz i just meant that they pretty much let the flavour do the work in chinese cuisine

It's amazing what garlic, ginger, tamari, seasame oil, sriracha, and water will do!

EDIT: and rice wine or mirin!

 

[Ceepea]

But really, think of the flavours...

Fresh! Cilantro, cumin, peppers, coconut, lots of beans and chicken... lol

Very similar in some aspects!

 

[Don Gin and Ton]

Oh I can see it sounds bit liked malaysian curry fruity and lightly spiced, though i imagine you'll have heat from the mexican angle
