I hope you try it.<BR/><BR/>AH: Me, elegant? At least the food is.<BR/><BR/>Jo: I hope you'll try Japanese cooking. I'll bet your family would love the pork tonkatsu dish that another blogger submitted to the regional food roundup on Wandering Chopstick's blog.<BR/><BR/>Mary: I just took a peek at your blog and, based on your profile, I think we both have the same philosophy of cooking. Healthy, simple, delicious. Love that "one perfect bite" concept. Hope you'll try these vegetables. You can always "cheat" and buy the instant dashi stock instead of making your own. I won't tell my teacher.Susan Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12178330935523896363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164604238866965101.post-23131714765727927772008-11-30T16:57:00.000-08:002008-11-30T16:57:00.000-08:00I love your recipes.

Such a shame. <BR/><BR/>I can't believe I've never heard of that children's book, "How My Parents Learned to Eat."

I loved the info about your parents. Ann Curry said much the same thing about her parents. Her mom raised her speaking only English so they could blend in better in Southern Oregon. <BR/><BR/>Oh! And I meant to ask you the other night if you'd ever read the children's book "How My Parents Learned to Eat."Wandering Chopstickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703018765718062460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164604238866965101.post-26507075853652541842008-11-18T08:05:00.000-08:002008-11-18T08:05:00.000-08:00Mitsuwa, a Japanese market on Las Tunas in San Gab...Mitsuwa, a Japanese market on Las Tunas in San Gabriel, carries all of the unusual vegetables, but you'll find better prices at the Chinese markets, such as Hong Kong Supermarket on San Gabriel Blvd. in San Gabriel.Susan Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12178330935523896363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164604238866965101.post-20089099963327334832008-11-18T07:40:00.000-08:002008-11-18T07:40:00.000-08:00Where did you find your more unusual ingredients? ...Where did you find your more unusual ingredients?
