Special Note to Fellow Bloggers
Please be aware that there are now wonderful tools, like Akismet (http://akismet.com/), for blocking spam comments that drive bloggers nuts. Actually, the number of blocked spam comments to this blog far outnumber the number of legit comments. I occasionally check to see if perhaps a legit comment may have been mistakenly blocked - I've never found one yet! I say this only because, as a heavy blog reader and commenter myself, some of the spam blocking devices (such as Captcha and other word verifiers) used by bloggers are both irritating and noneffective as well. And I always wonder if blog authors who use those devices realize that they often drive potential readers and commenters away. Think about it folks, if you use a word verifier, you are undoubtedly losing many readers and commenters.

Asian Markets, Sprouting Up Everywhere!
One of my great joys is to wander the aisles of a well stocked Asian grocery in fascination of the seemingly endless amount of ingredients and foods of which I apparently know nothing. I often jot down the names I … Continue reading
The Well Traveled Pancake, in Yet Another Guise
Last week, I read Joanna’s well written post, http://zebbakes.com/2011/06/23/soup-and-pancakes/ on what she delightfully calls, Swedish Evening Pancakes. I love the concept of dishes which can’t be tied down to a particular meal or time of day, such as for example, … Continue reading
Steamed Char Siu Bao – ‘Manapua’ in Hawaiian
The concept of Hawaii as one of the 50 U.S. states, gives most Americans mixed emotions – we all know it’s just too nice for its own good! And we know that it’s the haunt of the ultra rich – … Continue reading
