What is your table butter/baking butter of choice?
In the absence of fresh butter I am quite fond of the Danish brand Lurpak as both a table/baking butter, but I'd like to put this question out there to see what I might be missing...

A Meal at Szechuan Gourmet: Your Weekend Eating Assignment
"Water-boiled fish," unappetizing as it sounds, is one of the most wonderful Sichuan dishes.
Does Anyone Really Love Pumpkin Pie?
I do not love pumpkin pie but do like pumpkin ice cream--which in terms of flavor is not so different from pumpkin pie, but in terms of taste blows pumpkin pie away, oddly enough.
Dinner Tonight: Pez De Tierra (Eggplant Fries)
Enjoyed a very tasty version of eggplant fries at a restaurant in Beijing several years back; ingredients included Szechuan peppercorn and very finely minced garlic.

Can't answer your question, but maybe the water-boiled fish -- bland as that sounds, it's every bit as fiery and satisfying as Sichuan hot pot -- will tide you over until a few months from now. Hot pot is traditionally a winter dish, so may be they will start serving it in a few months.
