I got the Japanese barbecue sauce and I’ve been using it as kind of a stir-fry sauce. A bit too sweet for my tastes though as a general stir fry sauce, I gotta figure out how to make it more teriyaki like.

We somehow got this really nice strip mall authentic Japanese place that will kick out an amazing teriyaki bowl of rice, pork/chicken

It's been around for like 20 years and it's apparently pretty authentic they use their parents recipe who were 1st gen Japanese immigrants. No idea why they came here but they're great.

it pairs extremely well with chicken demi glacé. all you gotta do is cook down chicken stock until it starts getting dark and thick then mix in bachan to taste. best to start with an unsalted stock though or you’ll end up with a salt bomb

Ugh, they all have sesame. My husband developed a sesame allergy recently and navigating that has been a minefield. I am sad. :smith:

I've had a sesame allergy since 2006. Life has been far far easier in recent years with sesame getting on the "mandatory notify" list of allergens and I haven't had a cross contamination mishap since 2017. Good luck to you and your husband.

parking lot is a real mental health trial today

had a standoff with a guy in a Mercedes who cut the turn into the parking lot lane so hard he ended up directly in front of me in the wrong direction. He wanted me to back up and go around him

The lunch specials are the only ones I ever got. I worked at Google for 2 years as a temp (almost everyone in the building was a temp besides the contract manager person who had an office lol) in Kirkland where I lived and the catering there was god awful. The building was hastily built and had a big parking garage and everything but holy poo poo did everyone complain about the food. Like, I don't know how that catering company existed because it was just sooooo bad. But we were all poor so we just kinda dealt with it.

The teriyaki place nearby was a godsend.

Oh drat I had no idea you could use that sauce to make Seattle teriyaki, I have to try it now. That's pretty much what I lived on as a poor college student and I've really been craving it.

Also I was a temp for Google a long time ago in a different location. It had an actual kitchen with food staff and most of the time the food was pretty ok but sometimes it'd be bad. Baked potato got voted as one the most liked lunch options. People got some questionable taste.

I'm going on a trip tomorrow. Decided I needed to use the bigger suitcase, roll on was going to be too small. Got the big one out, besides being way too heavy the two wheels didn't exactly roll. Well poo poo. With the nerve pain I currently have, I absolutely need something that rolls. "I'm sure Costco will have something " I thought, felt like something I'd seen there millions of times.

I get there, eventually I find ONE two case set for $129.97.

You have to go online to do that. I think its supposed to be technically optional, though if you do need to file a claim or something then you probably have to fill out stuff on that same site anyways.

Grabbed a chocolate mousse cake from the bakery for dessert for a family thing. I've been eyeing it for years and have been looking for an excuse to get it. This was the perfect opportunity.

It was fine. A better than average store bought chocolate cake. Not what I was expecting but yet still perfect for the occasion 7/10

I bought a TV 2 years and 2 months ago and just signed myself on the warranty website after it died. No issues waiting to set it up. Made the claim - let's see if it's a pain!

They don't have food court cookie or peanut butter pretzels in Australia (at least where I went) but I did get a big tray of hot cross buns and Anzac biscuits so that's a win for me.

One of the frustrating things as of late is all of the manufacturers adding additional sesame ingredients to their products rather than better manage their allergen programs. I work in the food industry (food scientist) and I get that allergen programs can be onerous but a lot of products have newly added surprise sesame, including a major local bakery in the PNW.

Every drat frozen French fry offered at my local has wheat or a combo of wheat and barley on them.


How the hell do you not have plain fries? Simplest dang prepared food on the market, and they can't make it safe for celiacs.



Vvvv that looks better than the one I have. Throw's too short, can't load longer taters. Buddy in college had a hand held one , with handles on the sides of the cutter. Lop off the end of your spud, stand it up on the counter, and swiftly plunge the cutter down on it. Could cut fries of any length.

Frozen have the bonus of already being parboiled. Starting from scratch is a bunch more work to get good fries.
