got a lady friend who is gonna try making us some ginger-fried rice tonight. a french recipe based on a traditional chinese dish, with all kinds of shit going on in it. this is the recipe
will report back later with the deliciousness index!
I'm about to try a chilli/basil/lime kinda pasta thing with our garden-grown ingredients. The limes are a little woody, but oh well, the rind and juice will be decent I hope.
it cant possibly be that i found the default interface of opera a year and a half ago to not be slick and to take up too much screen space
i must be trolling
Aside from my comment largely being made in jest, "Have they fixed the clunkyness?" is such a subjectively pointed criticism as to not have any response. Though if you want to bump numbers or whatever, Opera tends to render faster than FireFox in final release benchmarks, and the Opera default layout has had fewer display elements than FireFox since they dropped their banner 5 years ago.

End verdict: not enough chilli, could've done with a bit more basil, but the lime came through pretty well. Probably could stand to be a little 'saucier', too. Overall pretty good end result though.
the gnocchi was okay, a little soft in the end but it didn't fall apart and it tasted good. i undercooked most of the potatoes though which meant that it was in spite of messed up ratios. basically i made it up as i went
the cheese sauce was extremely potent and i think i'm probably going to die of massive heart failure at some time tonight while i sleep
at least there were a couple of beans drowned in there

well i'm installing it to see this for myself
being on a netbook i need as much screen space as possible
edit: what the shit? does opera have anything comparable to adblock?
I understand i can block content but if i have to do it for every page and every time a new ad loads thats a deal breaker
I guess you would put your ships on scrabble tiles, unknown to your opponent
and then if they put words on the board that sunk your ship they'd get bonuses on that word?
Like extra double word scores or something.
Have you thought about tasting them and figuring out if there is really any difference? Kikkoman is certainly better than sauces like La Choy, but there are much better soy sauces than Kikkoman. So yes, yes there is a difference.
I basically combine a vegetable mix (broccoli, carrot, snow peas) with onion, peanuts, and an egg. Throw on some garlic ginger maranade and soy sauce at the end and serve over rice (brown).
Seems like I could be doing it better though, particularly with the sauce.
I like to make a honey-soy stir-fry sauce. You can buy honey-soy sauces/marinades or you can, amazingly enough, make it yourself if you have a) Honey and b) Soy Sauce.
Strato, forget that marinade. I find they are often way too sweet especially in plain vegetable stir-fry dishes. If you make stir-fry often, invest in some ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and if you eat seafood, fish sauce and oyster sauce. There is a mushroom-based sauce that is supposed to be similar to oyster sauce, so maybe look for that. I also have hoisin sauce and a concentrated dashi stock, but I make a lot of stir-fry. If you like the sweetness of the marinade you use, hoisin sauce will make an excellent replacement for it. If you toast some sesame seeds in the oil first, then add them later; that is also delicious.
As far as basics, get some oil really hot. Throw in grated ginger, grated garlic, and chopped onions (the peanuts too, if you want). Get them translucent, then throw in your egg. Cook, then throw in your other vegetables. Add soy sauce, a shot of sesame oil (1-2 if dark, 3-4 if light), and if you eat it, a splash of fish sauce/oyster sauce. Hoisin or dashi can be added now. So can the toasted sesame seeds.
Black bean sauce can also be used. If you like it hot, chili garlic sauce or sriracha. House of Tsang has Mongolian fire oil that is tasty, but be careful if you use sesame oil, things can get a little greasy.

They used to be the only hot dogs I would eat. Everyone else's just sucked.
But we made pigs in a blanket for a football game and I had to use the extra large Yves ones, and was really surprised how good they were. I think I got turned off of Yves dogs entirely when I mistakenly bought some of their tofu dogs once, which were fucking awful, because they were tofu dogs.
Framling on

I marinated and grilled up some extra firm tofu last week and it was pretty tasty, but you've got to see it coming and it shouldn't be disguised as other food.
No! I loved MorningStar's corn dogs. I can't stand any other hot dog product, but man those corn dogs were good. We have a horrible supply of vegetarian/vegan products in this town as it is, now they are taking away even more. Boo.
Dr. Z, I am looking for new marinade suggestions for tofu. What'd you use?

edit: Also, this is a shameless troll:
homemade gnocchi with beans and four-cheese sauce
that's quattro formaggi
will report back later with the deliciousness index!

How'd it go?

Fucking delicious
It's alright, I guess.

mmmm

I kind of want to try this
You sunk my syzygy!
Dear satan I wish for this or maybe some of this....oh and I'm a medium or a large.

I'd say this is basically the worst news in vegetarianism in like a year.

Ouch. They were actually pretty tasty.
And it looks like it's because of unsafe packaging conditions? That's an even worse reason to go down.

I'll keep an eye out for the Yves dogs.
