Neal, you might enjoy this. Their premise on making things "frightening" is interesting.

Came from smells instead of horror, but I think the two are rather intertwined.

[///M5 2,833]

They always sell out as well. Food for thought. Sorry I didn't think of this before this weekend.

PAX thread is hilarious

Anything by kevin just gets shit on.

And I am not even the one shitting. Oh, I wanted to...but figured I'd see how things panned out. Those t/s are absurd.

Kinda nice being part of a group that calls bullshit on bullshit.

Last night must have been college night, we knew of one bus, but at one point there were 4. From different colleges too and they told us they had another run for Saturday night lined up!

So we are hoping for a huge night tonight!!

Everytime I hear that word, I think of the old guy at work. That's what he calls black people. Took me a couple weeks to understand what the fuck he was talking about. Some people just never learn.

Yea some people still use words like that for other reasons. Hell at work they assume the same when I refer to our group as spooks.

Watched that Sushi video, now I want some eel hand roll.

[dem beats 1,223]

So give your eel a hand roll. It's better if you can get some help though.

More seriously though, Matt do you have a link back to when I posted this already? If not, I'll rewrite it

[dem beats 1,223]

I don't.

However it was just heat dashi amd miso to taste. It is best to ladle some dashi into a bowl and wisk miso paste into that dashi and then pour into the pot. Helps to get out all the clumpsCube tofu and add it right after you add the miso.

***

For the dashi it is 8 cups of water and one sheet of kombu(aprox 4"x8") Bring it up to just before boiling, then remove.

Add bonito (I have been eyeballing it now but started at a 1/3 cup), let soak but not boil for 5-10. Strain out bonito. Personally I just remove 99% of the bonito with a spirder or noodle spoon.

Personally I have been using a thermometer and setting to 170. I set my stove to ULTRA low and walk away. I used to just soak for 30 min, but bringing up to that temp helps with the rest of the cooking time.

I have been adding thin mushroom slices, green onion(not every time), and tofu.

I want to try with other things like seafood, but the tofu is sooooo good. I use extra firm. Most people use silken, and the texture is a little bit more in line with common practice but I like extra firm tofu. It is much more hearty.

I have also been adding soba noodles or rice noodles. Rice noodles work better IMHO. If I use soba I have to cook in a different pot drain and rinse with cooooolld water for a long time. Then add right back to the hot broth to reheat. The soba noodles though a bit "healthier" and again more substantial are just a PITA and bleed soooo much starch into the soup.

Sick and angry. But she wants the recipe.

I don't.

It is deeeeerishis. However I get a little gassy and sometimes runs from it. Probably the fact I use a LOT of miso and a whole block of tofu. It equates to more fiber than most people get in a day in one meal.

One of my favorite meals in the world now though.

[dem beats 1,223]

I won't be doing it much more in my life, but I also make my own broth for "ramen" or udon noodles now.

I make the dashi and then add soy, or mushroom soy and mirin(no miso). Omg, so good with udon noodles. Float a couple eggs in there with boiling hot broth and it is heaven. Makes a super good rich soup. Fast 12 grams of protein.

I have been craving Vietnamese food lately. Pho, vermicelli salad. Etc etc.

[dem beats 1,223]

Fried yams and shrimp. Egg rolls. And a swimming pool filled with nouc cham.

[dem beats 1,223]

Fountains shooting streams of it into the air. I love that shit.
