The Food Thread

That's because pho is awesome. Mike and I had pho every Monday almost the whole time we were together.

Well, like I said, it kind of loses its appeal to me when there's another restaurant in every single strip mall. And the restaurants are running out of cute names. So, for now, I'll pimp Hawaiian-style noodles:

Wild Ginger has great food, service and ambiance



Thai 65 is another great joint.... it's small, cheap, busy, comfy...

The Panang Curry made extra spicy with prawns is yummy... the contrast of sweet and spice is nom, nom, nom...



and for Japanese food... Maneki is the bomb... about 100 years old and still going strong in Japantown...

Soooo.... anyone care to share some of their special Thanksgiving recipes? Please do!!!! I'm thinking of infusing my turkey this year with Jalapenos....(don't freak out over the deviation from tradition there Mike-lol!) nom, nom, nom! Some on top of the bird and some under the skin. I think that would create an excellent flavor profile and seep into the dressing with the butter basting as well. Instead of traditional rolls, make some cheddar cornbread to compliment the flavor of the bird.... dayum... hungry now!

Lord, Cheesey, that sounds insideous!

Don't worry... I share! (I forgot- add a lemon twist- just for the oil of the rind- do not place in the drink itself)

Cheesey, lucky we are already cyber-friends. After reading the recipe for that "refreshment", I know how I would have labelled you if that was your first post here! Haha.
