San Francisco Snow Skiing

  Dsc01116

Really this is in no way food related--though I am tempted to taste the snow that is going down a few blocks away from my apartment.  I've uploaded some photos taken at 8:00am this morning.  The ski jump event takes place at noon on Fillmore between Broadway (run) and Vallejo (jump).

Rumour is Johnny Mosely who is 30 today has backed out from jumping.  It's all being filmed for an upcoming MTV event.

(PS: Jeanne -- when did you take to spelling British style? That must be a Boston thing... Oh! Influence of Sam?) :-)
Did you go watch?!

Lately, I’ve become curious about Asia cuisine in particular Thai food. Needless to say the intersection of this new study with that of having to cook a vegan dish presented a challenge. Just about every dish has that essential ingredient fish sauce or nam pla. Truly this is the single most important flavoring for authentic Thai. An adequate substitute can be found in soy sauce although not in equal parts due to its strength. So although this soup recipe from Real Vegetarian Thai, by Nancie McDermott in her own words, veers “away from the framework of authenticity” she is a realist. Thailand, McDermott writes, “lacks a strong indigenous vegetarian tradition.” There are religious practices such as Terawada Buddhism and Sino-Thais (Thais of Chinese descent) that have long traditions of traditions of vegan fasts and cuisines. It’s interesting to note that the Thai concept of veganism is stricter than Western interpretations in that many stimulating spices, onions, garlic and alcohol are excluded from the vegan diet. These items are said to inflame passions. In Phuket there is a 9-day Vegetarian Festival in early autumn where the center of town becomes a showcase for Thai-style Chinese vegetarian cooking. This version of a popular soup, Tom Yum is a spicy lemongrass soup with mushrooms and tofu. More commonly found is tom yum goong, which contains...

A daydream is a meal... A daydream is a meal at which images are eaten. Some of us are gourmets, some gourmands, and a good many take their images precooked out of a can swallow them down whole, absentmindedly, and with little relish. W.H. Auden
