Anyone have any Chairman Mao's chicken?

No, but I do have a copy of about 3-4 pages of Mao's poetry from a ~1972 Playboy. It's hard to say how good it is due to the translation, but it's not bad.

The funniest bit about this mag was the fashion section, which showcased crotched sleeveless sweaters in these really (dare I use it?) gay colors. Really thick thread - very Paul McCartney inspired.

I know, he wields a mean axe, but he was/is also very boop-de-do, if'n you catch my meaning.

Oh; we're talking about food.

Fusilli pasta with Pastene marinara, plus meatballs, corn and peas with a healthy dollop of ricotta cheese mixed in. Chives and parmesano (real) on top.

That dad-gum corned beef I didn't get to cook on St. Beer Day. Big green pot, taters skinned, cabbage cut in quarters, all mixed and currently simmering "” with 3-4 types of mustard ready to go when they all are...some soda bread on the side, too. Yum!

Mmm.... eel.... Not so appetizing to see in their natural state, but I've had it sashimi-style (grilled). Very tasty.

Joined a friend for dinner at a tapas restaurant. A cheese plate featuring a sheep's milk and a goat milk variety, with almonds, thin slices of pear, chopped figs and a saucer of honey. A mushroom/leek tart in a tomato coulis. Dates stuffed with almonds and mascarpone cheese. Grilled scallops sitting in a pool of some kind of reduction with herbs I don't even know and don't care because it was delicious. Plus two bottles of Estrella Galacia beer. It was a late birthday celebration and well worth it.

That sounds really good number6. I had a slice of pizza, Hawaiian style after having a few Irish Coffees with my landlord, who's husband passed away, somewhat unexpectedly in December. It was nice. I hadn't ever really talked much to her, even though I have lived in the house she owns for well over 10 years. I talked to her husband many many times. He was a really really good man.

Great point strange girl, dinner and drinks are usually more about who you share it with and the conversations. My kids are here for spring break so all of the food tastes better.

Many bottles of beer, Baja fish tacos with a side of fresh guacamole, and freshly pickled Mexican carrots with jalapenos. And More beer...more beer, and more beer...

Do I have to explain this again? Beer goes in the "drinking" thread ,food in the "dinner" thread.

The moderator gets very upset and forces us to watch videos of Asian marionettes if we don't play by the rules.

Actually, I've been jonezing for some hot marionette-on-marionette action these days.
The Asian chat rooms are full of undercover Interpol agents and I can't trust anybody.
This is all I can find :

Dude, that's stop action action. Comparing stop action with professional marionetting is like saying there's no difference between a fry cook and a master chef!

While eating, I was watching Supersize me.
Like we would say here, "rien de nouveau sous le soleil", this film relates things that everybody is aware of. But there is one scene I found surrealist : the one with the former obese man working for Subway who goes from schools to schools to tell his story about the nightmare he daily lived when obese, his fight against that and Subway's divine intervention thanks to which everything got better and better for him. He keeps repeating to kids that Subway isTHE solution against obesity. And some of them really believe him, we see a fat teengirl talking with him with her mother and thanking him and Subway again and again...It's just aberrant that such persons can be allowed by headmasters to promote grotesquely a take-away chain within schools.

A freak appears at 41min30 : Don Gorske, a John Lennon looking like BigMac fan who made his marriage proposal on ...a MacDonald's parking.

We have some fresh strawberries and pineapple for the fruit salad.

Leg of lamb with fresh rosemary and garlic inserted into slits around the outside.( sounds like an Eminem song.) Basil, oregano, thyme, and half the spice rack spread on the outside with olive oil, cooked on the rotisserie.
Pita bread and plain yogurt, pasta salad and all of the usual things that go with a big leg of lamb feast. Red wine and cocktails.
Oh a photo.

Damn K, that looks like a fantastic way to cook. My wife and I are about to buy a house, and it has a fireplace. I need to get some details about how to use it as a cooking hearth.

So, starting to box stuff up, and it'll be take out for a little while. Tonight: Wonton soup, chicken satay, and some duck Pad Thai. Plenty of leftovers for us both tomorrow lunch.

'scuse me wrong photo

Please don't let me mislead you. Sorry about the photo I got from Google but I was going for leg of lamb.
I have a Charmglow my oldest daughter bought for me that looks like this( see below) and since I live in So. Cal. we get to use it a lot.

But it would be awesome to have one in the house.
Dinner was perfect. Just had to stop the rotisserie to use the meat thermometer for a perfect medium rare. Thyme garlic and black pepper. Red wine.

Aww, crap. I was all gooey about using the fireplace as a brick oven. But since you eat your meat all proper and all at medium rare, I can't complain.

Last night it was poached eggs, potatoes, and toast. I'm one of those "breakfast anytime" people. And I like to buy those brown eggs that are from vegetarian/grain fed, no antibiotic, free-range hippie hens. They hug trees and smoke pot in between laying eggs. Its pretty cool.

That's funny, I only buy chicken that comes from birds that volunteered to be butchered by a small sect of transexual Trappist monks that live in a secluded West Virgina holler. The shit is expensive, and you have to have connections to get it, but you can taste the free will.

lol:D

I need to find one of those laughing emoto's but I'm just to damn lazy so that'll have to do.

Did I eat?:confused: Oh yeah, lunch for dinner.
Salmon, (wildly living free range on a farm) grilled, with a cilantro pesto on top of corn, beans an onions.
