..... but it's just a stick!

You're giving away our secrets! The past three installments of this series are exactly what my dad taught me. These techniques are the core of my "I'm tired and haven't stored away anything but I need to eat dinner" meals. One amalgam of meat and veggies in one wok, over rice. Delicious.

Morimoto's is indeed quite an experience.

Ah, the best condiment to go with steamed blue crabs is a glutinous rice vinegar/sugar/chopped ginger mix. It's what we always had at our house, and is fantastically delicious. My favorite is mixing some of the sauce with the crab juice and roe in the top part of the shell, then drinking it.

Also, the acidity of the vinegar helps when you're on your dozenth crab.

I'm finding it difficult to not salivate all over my lab bench thinking about crabs.

By far, the best Potbelly sandwich is a meatball with hot peppers, mushrooms, lettuce and tomato. I've tried everything on and off their menu (ask about the secret sandwiches) and it's the one I always come back to. I'm mildly concerned about moving away, because what will I eat when I need a hot sandwich fix?
