    Slice of pizza from the recesses of the freezer, two over easy eggs fried in olive oil, sliced garlic, red pepper powder and dried dates. And yes, the wife is out of town :)

    You had me up until the dates ;)

    Otherwise, fried egg on pizza--what's not to love???

    I've done the eggs with left over mapo tofu combo before, it's a proven winner

    That sounds pretty good. darcjoan (aka 'wifey') wants to do Chinese for New Years Eve. We were wondering what to get. I think we've decided: LSC. We'll probably skip the crack and go for more traditional stuff. What else do they do well?

    I'm sure you are aware that there is a 16 page post already on LSC. If you are looking for my thoughts particularly, I would say be adventurous and don't limit yourself to the Chef's specials. My experience has been that many of the dishes which are featured most prominently on the menu are a bit too sweet for me. This was particularly the case with the Crispy Shrimp in Mayonaise Sauce and the "Chicken Crack." I have enjoyed the green beans, the garlic eggplant, the spicy chicken wings, the hand pulled noodle soups and the spicier fish dishes. I was with a group that ordered the soup dumplings and thought they were surprisingly good.

    My overall favorite by far has been the Mapo Tofu. I have had this dish now probably half a dozen times and it has always been good. I have never ordered it with the additional ground pork (which is authentic) because with the combination of the la, the heat, the saltiness of the fermented black beans and the creaminess of the tofu, there is already enough going on in this dish to keep my interest even without the addition of the meat. I have resolved to learn to prepare this and I understand that it is not too difficult once you have the correct ingredients.

    As far as dishes that didn't work, I ordered a spicy short rib dish which turned out to be too tough to eat. The short ribs were cut thin with the bone in as I have seen most often in Korean dishes and I think the meat was just not cooked long enough. I ordered the Spicy Chow Mein with pork for take out and enjoyed the hand cut noodles, but the dish was not really very spicy and I think that it would have been much better straight from the wok. I would try this again in the restaurant, but not for take out.

    We got delivered: Ma Po Tofu w/pork (?), Chicken Egg Rolls,Beef Tendon Soup Shanghai Style, Kung Pao Chicken & Moo Shu Pork. they threw in a complimentary carton of long noodles with greens (I've got to check their menu to figure out what it is) just to give us luck, life and riches in this new year. Everything is absolutely great! The Ma Po Tofu totally treated my taste buds. Certainly one of the best bites of the year and a great way to close it out. Delivery was much quicker than anticipated given my past experiences going through grubhub. http://www.chicagolaoszechuan.com/location.aspx remains my favorite place for high quality Chinese food.

    Had people over for dinner the other night, one of which specifically requested plain-Jane hot dogs for her kids*. Did not want to waste food and used breakfast as an opportunity to try the beloved Chicago tradition of ketchup on a hot dog.

    It should be noted her kids ate mainly ribs, both lamb and pork.

    Your plating skills are much improved these days!! That looks lovely. Hope you enjoyed the tomatoes. The oil they're packed in is pretty delicious.

    Hi,

    Left the house expecting to eat a traditional breakfast. Along the route was Captain Porky's. Saw Dino turning the 'open' light on at 10:00 am sharp.

    Car stopped.

    Went inside ordered a pound of jumbo fried shrimp, greens, cornbread and fried really wild mushrooms.

    Ready to take on the day!

    Looks simply gorgeous, Gary! I could eat that up in a NYC minnit! Bien fait, Gary!

    BTW, how do you like your new knife? I've had mine for about a month, and it has some very nice features. I'm not sure I'd say it were better than my Victorinox, it's just quite different. It feels good: heft is excellent, and grip is perfect. Love the ring-sound from the blade on a steel. I find the Swiss in my grip sometimes, and the Misen in my grip other times––I'll have to take note and see if there's any preference pattern.

    Tell you what tho', for the money it's waaay better value than any French or German blade I've owned, and I've owned a bunch.

    Ha! I thought of this thread this morning when I looked out at the rainy, dreary day and decided to ladle out a bowl of fideo soup, made for us by the Mexican mama of a dear friend, whipped an egg into it and popped it in the microwave. It wasn't anything to photograph (unlike GWiv's stunning concoction above), but it sure hit the spot at 8:00 a.m.!

    Hi,

    This morning it was fish sticks from the freezer wrapped around a piece of bread with tartar sauce.

    Yesterday was a microwave poached egg on a toasted muffin smeared with pesto sauce.

    Sometime this week, I want to make some scrambled eggs with peas from the freezer.

    Recently, I have been making baked oatmeal flavored with brown sugar, vanilla, a bag of freeze dried fruit and chopped pecans. It makes enough for two or three breakfasts.

    Whenever I eat cereal with milk is typically arriving late without having yet had dinner. The cat who spends most of his time sleeping, just hangs over me waiting for the leftover milk. I wish his manners would improve.

    Regards,
