What is patriotism but the love of the food one ate as a child? |

Food Tip |
"Americans, more than any other culture on earth, are cookbook cooks; we learn to make our meals not from any oral tradition, but from a text. The just-wed cook brings to the new household no carefully copied collection of the family's cherished recipes, but a spanking new edition of ‘Fannie Farmer’ or ‘The Joy of Cooking’." |
| John Thorne, American food writer |

Food Tip |
“Americans can eat garbage, provided you sprinkle it liberally with ketchup, mustard, chili sauce, tabasco sauce, cayenne pepper, or any other condiment which destroys the original flavor of the dish.” |
| Henry Miller, American writer (1891-1980) |
What garlic is to food, insanity is to art. |

Bread deals with living things, with giving life, with growth, with the seed, the grain that nurtures. It is not coincidence that we say bread is the staff of life. |

I eat merely to put food out of my mind. |

Dissolve the miso in the water. Dissolve the cornstarch in a small
amount of hot water and add to the miso, along with the soy sauce and
5-spice mix. Set aside.
Heat the wok, then add the oil; heat for a minute and swirl around to
coat the wok. Add the garlic and ginger, stir around until the
garlic starts to brown. Add the mushrooms, toss for about 3 minutes
until they start to soften. Add the carrots, stir for about 2
minutes; then the broccoli, another minute; then the water chestnuts,
another minute; then the tofu. Add a splash of sake, stir for another
minute or two as the steam melds everything, then pour on the sauce.
Stir until it thickens (about 3 minutes), then serve with rice or
noodles.
The portabellos have a chewey, firm body and a rather strong flavor,
very nice! I think next I'll try some kind of dish mixing whole caps
with eggplant...I'll let you know in a week or so!
as always, "eat! eat!"
