It's been floating around the Internet a while but the recipes from Cooking with Dog are actually really good - I tried the mochi and okonomiyaki recipes and they turned out nice. And the show's hosted by a big grey poodle.

Francis is most likely a toy poodle. A 'big poodle' would be a Standard Poodle, which weighs up to 70 lbs. Francis looks like he weighs about 10.

He is, however, fantastically well groomed and fluffy. And so well behaved! His chef obviously loves him. It's a joy to watch them :3:

I like that bit in the middle, when he's cutting them into sheets. "Wow, he's really eyeballing those sheets. Whoops, half a sheet left over, guess he.. Wait, no, now he's cutting it in half again. Oh gee, a millimeter of waste. Now you're just showing off, guy."

There's 1000 things that would be cooler and worth your time. Making your own soy sauce would be like collecting your own salt.

HEY. Hey. Don't piss on salt collectors. Then you'll get weird piss salt in their very carefully tended salt marshes.

Also, the equipment needed for the most basic introductory seaside salt refining is some black tarps, 2x4s, sunny spot in yard, ocean (or salt lake), and time. I can't even imagine what the startup costs for soy sauce brewing would be.

Ultimately you can certainly do whatever you want because it's your food, but traditionally there's almost no spice in Japanese food for real. Doesn't make it wrong at all for you to tweak to your taste though.

The chef at my sushi joint gave me sriracha salmon as a freebie and a spicy tuna roll. Who are the proper authorities to report this monster to.

Oh wait I dont care because I love my japafast. BTW, dont order eel or bluefin peeps, those guys are in a serious decline. Theremust be delicious left for the next generation.

That's why I said make it however you like. I wasn't trying to say it was wrong, and I put hot sauce on a lot of things too, just that peppers really weren't widely used for a LONG time in Japan. Same goes for garlic and other really strong flavors like that.

Even now that that isn't necessarily the case, a lot of Japanese people have a laughably low tolerance for spice.

I was just being facetious and silly, sorry :3: . Some reason though, people associate japanese with spicy. Might be the wasabi. Which, hooo! Is the only thing helping my sinuses in this early onset allergy season.

Bought a Shiso plant for 5bux at the farmer's market. It apparently has the potential to be terribly invasive in Florida (like just about every other plant from japan...) It's also terribly delicious. Gonna get a nice pot for it and try not to eat all of it.

Ooh, that could be interesting. Cut it a bit with some of the malabar spinach I have hanging around, make it with garlic and maybe some of the green peppers and chives I have growing. Because my basil keeps flowering and tasting like shiiit.

Not that I have any right providing insight when it comes to plants (because I kill anything green that comes into my possession) but aren't you supposed to pinch them as soon as it starts budding?

Yeah, but they escape notice sometimes. We've been having a ton of rain, it's been mulched and weeded well, so some days I don't get out to the garden much because there's not much to do. I've also been crazy busy. But I do love my little Hugelkulture. I can see it from my bedroom window and there's 2 adorable sunflowers in there cheering me up through this miserable cold I'm having.

If you havn't been watching the new Go! Francis! thing over at CookingWithDog, I suggest you start here and now.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SftNP1FTOEU

Francis' american accent is amazing.

I do love a raw egg on hot rice though. Especially if I make bacon fried rice. Then top it off with some sambal olek. Or just some soy sauce and sesame oil. Mmm. I use fresh eggs I get from the farm I work at though. So if I get food poisoning, it's no-one's fault but my own.

edit: Ooh, exploring Japaneese factory farming next episode. Looks like they'll be in a cage-free facility. Nice to see. I just wish those chickens got some more sunlight and fresh air, they're paler then an all-ginger basement LAN party.

I want eggy rice now, ugh.

Can't go wrong with just a cracked egg on rice. It's my breakfast when I'm especially lazy.

I make bacon egg fried rice. Fry a bit of chopped bacon, toss the rice in the fat and put a bit of brown on it, bowl, farm fresh egg on top. Little bit of soy sauce and sessame oil on top. Keeps you full till dinner.

(This is not exactly traditional Japanese style cooking, mind you)

Tofu squeezin' cloth is basically cheesecloth, yes. Making tofu and making cheese have a lot in common. The stuff you curdle the soy milk with is usually powdered gypsum.

Someone suggested a really good series on Chinese food (In china! By a Chinese broadcasting company! For Chinese people to watch! I actually think it might have been you who suggested it, Fromage. I forget the name of the documentary though, it was a series) that went pretty in-depth on tofu. It was super interesting! But then towards the end, they start talking about Milky Tofu, a kind of tofu made from milk, and showing how they make it. And oh wow does Milky Tofu look so super cool and interesting and why have I never heard about this stuff, that's so neat, I gotta try making it myself, hell, I bet I could it looks just like make...ing...cheese. It's cheese. That is cheese that they are making. Why did I not realize this.

Tofu is bean cheese.

Now here's a question. Why does tofu puff when you fry it? Aburaage looks almost like a weird pita pocket sometimes. How's it doing that?

Oh, for cheesemaking, you can also use an old t-shirt. Just soak and rinse it really good in fresh water to get the detergent flavor out.

:ohdear: I'm sorry, my dude. Francis did live a good, long life for his breed, though.

How old was he? Mini Poods and their ilk can live a fairly long while if they don't have any chronic health issues. I had a Maltesse/Poodle mix that lived to be 17. Some can get up into 19 and 20 years old even. Whatever breeding went into miniaturizing poodles also made them freaking dog Methuselah's.

But definitely RIP Francis. I hope Chef is doing OK, she seems like such a nice lady.

Dried seaweed of all kinds is pretty light. According to this, https://examine.com/nutrition/how-can-i-safely-consume-seaweed/ , you need to eat 10-20 grams of Kombu (the most iodine rich) to see any danger. I think that warning might be more for people with iodine sensitivites.

...and I don’t really have any other ideas. What’s a good set of small bits of food that can be made in advance, keeps well, and can be made with ingredients commonly found in American supermarkets?

I’m also probably going to avoid rice or at least reducing the amount I eat, so there’s that concern as well.

Chilli. Pasta sauces. Fried foods. Potstickers. Quesadillas. All can be batch made and reheated in a microwave or toaster oven. You can fry up a couple of chicken thighs, freeze, and pull them out individually to have with potato salad and Mac n cheese for southern US bento.

In episode 4 of Today's Menu for the Emiya Family, they make a sandwich out of crispy bacon, scrambled eggs, blanched sansai, and a mustard spread. I want to make this, but I'm not sure what common USA greens are analogous to sansai. Broccoli rabe and fiddleheads, maybe? Is there a closer alternative?

EDIT: It looks like they're specifically using nanohana in the sandwich, if that helps.

I'm watching the first episode right now, loving it, but HOLY CRAP that green can of lovely parmesan sprinkle in the fridge door. When did that become a universal thing?

If I was going to make that sandwich, I'd probably do it with skinny asparagus and maybe some ramps, farmers market fresh stuff. Not in season right now unfortunately. I don't think anything else in the US is similar.

My favorite cheapo poo poo is the Mama fake duck. Just crush it up and eat it straight out of the bag. It's 50 cents.
