Hello yes I have my seasonal "The Cool Weather Is Here Your Sinuses Hate You" attack. What's a nice spicy soup I can make? I'm looking for something a bit different from my ghetto pho spicy broth, which is just strong stock, onion, and allspice, anise, ginger, garlic, and hot peppers, then I dump it over a bowl of spinach and add noodles, sesame oil, and chili oil if it needs it. I love it, but i'm looking for something new. Is there a horseradish or wasabi soup maybe?

edit: Anyone ever made this: http://easteuropeanfood.about.com/od/polishsoups/r/Polish-Horseradish-Soup-Recipe-Zupa-Chrzanowa.htm I like anything that says 'Garnish with 12 slices of crispy bacon or saffron threads'.

\/\/ Agh, and I don't eat kimchee. But now might be the time to try again because it's always the smell that bothers me, and I cant use my nose now \/\/\/

korean soups. I came down with the flu this last weekend, and ate a non-stop assault of the most blisteringly hot, kimchi + fermented bean paste laced, kelpy seafoody beef brothy korean soups I could find.


I still have the flu.

but at least I ate some tasty soup eh

I appreciate the kimchee recommendations, but as I don't generally like kimchee, don't have any in the house, the only place that sells any kimchee is a half hour drive away, and there are no korean places in delivery range, I don't think it's in the cards for now.

But now I'm craving Pizza Soup, which is one of the more terribly american things I eat. Tomato soup with a bit of pepperoni, a big garlic bread and mozzarella cheese crouton on top. Oh, and I have tins of good quality clams and sardines, maybe i'll make a spicy fish chowder.

I bought a box recently and noticed that the granules seemed larger than usual. Made me wonder if the boxes always specified 'coarse' or not - I don't see any non-coarse for sale, so I also wondered if I was nuts

Maybe the boxes have varied grain sizes and the smaller ones sort to the bottom over time, so you use the small ones last. Then you get a new box and all you see is the larger grains again.

Or maybe the granule sizes did change but it's just an artifact/anomaly associated with our universe's quiet quantum shift onto the trump-president spacetimeline.

"Only."

Back when I worked in a potluck-heavy office, there was maybe one other person who did something homemade. All 30ish other people in the office just went to Costco or a random grocery store for some rotisserie chicken or mediocre pizza or a huge tray of subpar cookies. If you get six homemade things I'd call that a wildly successful potluck.

Mealy apples still taste good even if the texture is horrible, so make some sauce or juice or something

I have a very strong suspicion that I know where you went, and I'm sorry to say that you got exactly what you were intended to get. The joint I think you went to is not really known for its quality so much as its stability in terms of serving mediocre poo poo for a long time.

Steve Yun posted:

Y'all didn't look very hard. We are the land of coney islands and lovely dives, but that's because we're a largely blue collar area with not a lot of concentration of fine dining types, so there's not been a whole lot of successful fine dining until recently. Greektown still boasts a couple better places, the Cass Corridor has a burgeoning group of good restaurants with a variety of dishes. Eastern Market is becoming a cluster of restaurants bit by bit... there's a lot of areas of development inside the city itself, not to mention the near suburbs. I have a rather long list of places to check out in the near future, and I don't even work shifts that keep me home any more...

I'm a lifelong Detroiter so this is obviously near and dear to me, and I want more folks to come to my city and eat well while they're here. Maybe I should make an :effort: post? I feel like I've seen a few asks about Detroit lately.

The first time I figured something was up was the black sesame pudding recipe. Francis wasn't his usual chipper self from then on out. I figured he was old, but not that old.

They posted the last video with Francis in it. At the end, they showed off a dessert with the same caption: "COMING SOON, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE." I think Chef might surprise us yet....

I got the chicken jambalaya and it was suuuuuper disappointing. I'm in love with andouille and if I did a blind taste test, I would have bet that what they served was a chopped up hot dog. No spice, and springy as a mofo. The peppers and onions were cooked to within an inch of their lives, and the rice was mushy.

Literally the best part of the meal was the single piece of salmon sashimi I got as an amuse bouche, because this place does sushi too for some reason? Even that wasn't the best, but it was better than the jambalaya. What a letdown.

I hate to break it to you but this place's menu did not in fact look good.
