Snapshots from Vietnam: Chillin' in Saigon
great read! My hometown has a big viet population and I always see these colorful desserts behind the counters. Good to know what goes into them.
Mochi + Waffle = The Moffle
so is this like those egg waffles at hong kong dessert places?! yum.

sorry to be a butt, but that sounds really awkward. Is that what people in DC call us XD?
For Convenient Chocolate Shavings, Try Chocolate Pencils
@narinda: are you the narinda I think you are? XD This is Joanne. Hi. Chocolate is so powerful.
Who partakes in a little fast food action?
what??! nobody's mentioned el pollo loco - the dashing, unloved brother of KFC?
el pollo loco's $.99 piece chicken thigh/wing/drumstricks (grilled with lime and all sorts of tasty spices) with complimentary tortillas and suspiciously surgeon uniform colored guacamole, finish off with $.99 churros is the cure to all ailments. There is absolutely nothing better than el pollo loco reheated at 3 am. Or for amazing finals week soup, college style, chicken soup - toss into some boiling water with tomatoes, lots of chilies and a few sprigs of fresh mint or lemongrass and cook for 20 minutes. So so so good.
How do you doctor up baked beans?
My extremely not fancy recipe is a can of baked beans, something green (not fuzzy) from the fridge, lots of tabasco sauce topped with cheddar cheese. Yumyum.

Mochi + Waffle = The Moffle
The panini press does a great job-the results are little "fingers" of mochi. Try it!

Did you see the chopstick canoe? I think I'll aim smaller and try to make a chopstick kayak. Might have to wait though, because I've been saving mine for kabobs. I like to use two for easier turning.
I like the cheesecloth idea - hadn't thought of that.
I can testify that the foil/salt silver cleaner really works.

If you use an upright water smoker (Brinkmann, Char-Broil, etc.), you can use chopsticks to hold a rack of ribs in a coil to fit the round cross-section of the pit. It allows you to cook and entire rack of ribs on each grate.
Mochi + Waffle = The Moffle
I can't wait to try this in my panini press. How does a slab of mochi, sliced horizontally, filled with chocolate sound?. Kind of a Japanese pain au chocolat!
Who partakes in a little fast food action?
steak & shake all the way, baby.
nothing beats a frisco melt, small fries and kid's strawberry milkshake when drunk a 3am.
I'm obviously a midwestern girl ;)
Who partakes in a little fast food action?
I happened to be in a town with Chik Fil A, so I picked up some nuggets and was so anxious to try them. They were awful and I threw them out. Dry as a bone and the coating tasted like it might have a bunch of old bay seasoning? What a disappointment! Are the sandwiches made differently? Is there a particular one that you'd all recommend?
Who partakes in a little fast food action?
I crave a Mickey D's fix every couple of weeks, usually a double cheeseburger & fries....I'll order a Mighty Kid's meal so I don't get carried away.
I wish we had a Chik Fil A up here....I've tried it on trips, and love their sandwiches!

I know it will sound incredibly childish of me, but I WANT TCBY BACK!
Best Fro-Yo Shops in SoCali
All of these places are pretty far south, especially if you live in the Los Angeles area where it takes 35 minutes sitting in traffic to get out of the city. For something closer check out Gelato Bar on Tujunga in Studio City. They not only serve the best gelato in town, but they also make a super-tangy creamy frozen yogurt that I fly across the country to eat by the bowl.
Top Ten Crazy Asian Pizza Crusts
I was in Korea this past summer and I ate at both Mr. Pizza and Pizza Hut. I can say that Mr. Pizza's Hanchi Gold is vastly superior to Pizza Hut's Rich Gold (the Hanchi Gold has squid! And twice as much sweet potato mousse!). What was stranger than the pizza though was the fact that Mr. Pizza was marketed towards women --- as health food!
