any chocolates molded from this ought to have a cool, minty flavor.

A Guide to Bakeries in Manhattan's Chinatown
has anyone seen mango buns (man guo mian bao, i think)? they were your basic sweet bun with this mango filling (heavily adulterated i suspect, but amazing) and some fantastic spiral-patterned flaky topping, like a very fine spiral maze. they used to carry them at dragon land, but they stopped a few years ago.
Weekend Book Giveaway: 'The Fortune Cookie Chronicles'
"You constantly struggle for self-improvement," which is true. On the back, the "Learn Chinese" word given was "Medical Doctor," and that connects with the fortune for me. Currently, my biggest "self-improvement" project is to become an older than average med student. In that way, the fortune was an accurate picture of what I was doing.
The thing is, they gave the characters for "yi sheng" which does mean MD, but the English transliteration was "hai zi." Ummm, not with those characters it ain't.

Ed Levine's Serious Diet: Week 6, Are Flavor Intensifiers One of the Keys to Losing Weight?
hey ed,
i'm impressed. with your line of work, it takes some real strength of will to lose weight.
cilantro, homemade pico de gallo, and garlic in its various forms are all sorts of useful to me in boosting flavor, but i think that i'm going find some fancy cheese and give my microplane a workout this week.
I'm down 2 pounds, this being my first week.
How Do You Feel About Valentine's Day?
My brother and I were both conceived on Valentine's day ('74 and '76), so I treat it more as a sibling appreciation day. And, for what it's worth, a day of appreciation of my family's tendency to overshare.

with the fancy stuff, dark. with the cheap stuff, milk.

dammit! my sci-fi geek of a husband would have loved the Han mold. he would have passed on the R2 ice bucket but Han would be encased in our freezer for sure. "He'll be quite safe...if he survived the freezing process". 3PO was such a buzzkill.

sarahdlr: I'm guessing its a silicone mold that could be peeled away. I'd love to see it in action. Maybe someday.

Looks like the hands would make this really difficult to extract from the mould?
Tiny's Giant Sandwich Shop
@Prairie: I went on Thursday night and had the same prob: no breaded cutlets, only grilled! Also, they ran out of 7-grain bread and brioche. I got a chicken po boy sandwich though and it was SOOO GOOOD, oh yeah.
You're right about the waste though. Maybe they don't have the capacity to wash lots of dishes? But they they have a lot of waste to deal with. I've never asked them about that before..

@roboppy: Just went for the first time, it's right around the corner from my GF's apartment. Great stuff.
They were out of the breaded chicken cutlets, but were substituting them for grilled breasts. Yummy.
One thing we did notice is the...odd (?)...amount of waste per meal. Plastic cup, paper in tray, paper on sandwich, thin paper napkins. Other than that thanks for the reccomendation!

I ate at Tiny's for the first time a couple weeks ago and I'm totally hooked. Such a satisfying and delicious sandwich for a TINY price (in NYC anyway). I had the chicken parm. Delish.

@sloppydelicious: I'm going tonight, so maybe I'll be eating that for dinner! ;)
@laurelie; I never had brunch there! Thanks for letting me know.
@minoric: This place definitely has their sandwich formula down. :D Except for mushy crab cakes.

Isn't it hard to find a well-executed sandwich? So when can find a place with more than a couple, it's a keeper! So many places just mindlessly pile on ingredients with no thought to taste or texture; this place looks like it got it right. That said, I think crab cake sandwiches rarely succeed...too much breading, or mush, or both.

Favorite foods: New Green Bo used to make these amazing Shanghai vegetarian buns, shu cai bao zi. At least one person that I introduced them to dreamt about them. If anyone knows of a similar bao zi, please tell me.
Last bite on earth: Maybe the Red Hook Ballfields with a stroll over to Baked with the treats then snuck out to the Fairway waterfront cafe to be enjoyed with the view.
