I just moved to Chinatown this April. One of the best things about living in Chinatown? Dozens of produce places that offer fresh, cheap produce. I got all this for under $10. That’s asparagus, eggs, noodles, strawberries, ginger, garlic, onions, tomatoes, snow peas and peppers. And scallions. And parsley. Oh yeah. Limes and mushrooms.
What do you use ginger for?
Ginger+garlic+onions are the essentials of Indian cooking. Maybe I should do a cooking video :p Also, you are coming over for dinner. Soon. I promise.
ah… i see. must be the under taste that I never taste.
Wowzers! Can you say “bargain?” Maybe I should convince my mom to do her grocery shopping there.
…as are cumin, coriander and turmeric (or am I thinking of Thai cuisine?). Anyway, it appears as though you’re going to make the traditional, and ageless asparagus, noodle, strawberry, ginger, garlic, onion, tomato, snow pea, lime, pepper and mushroom omelet; with a scallion and parsley garnish. I thought you didn’t cook.
Nope, you’re right, Doug. Coriander, cumin and tumeric are all Indian food staples. Yes, ageless omelette.
And shhhh about the cooking. It’s the only way I can get my boyfriend to buy me dinner :p
Sometimes I get confused about the seemingly endless distinctions between Indian and Thai curry.
Hmmmm….perhaps a tasty samosa or two could convince me (*he said somewhat ironically*), to keep my mouth shut about your alleged culinary skills….:)
Hmm, I don’t do samosas. I could perhaps conjure up an eggroll or two :) You know my number.
