LAST-TO-POST #13 Calling all Posting Gals and Guys of the Lasting Kind.....

[PrincessInOz]

Another late night?

 

[DisneyFirefly]

Yeah, just got home a little bit ago.

 

[PrincessInOz]

I just page turned on 3 different threads in a space of 2 minutes! This one had better NOT be a page turner post.

 

[queenie82]

I assume you don't hold it against people if they were cake decorators or waitresses before making it into the job they wanted???





Hmmmmmmmmm

 

[PrincessInOz]

No....only soap opera stars....


..and don't get snooty on me. We all have our prejudices...I know mine and am happy to acknowledge them!

 

[usnuzuloose]

Cake decorators? Okay I am lost but I am last

 

[usnuzuloose]

No I turned the page. Thats my job here. I dont even get paid. Whats wrong with this issue?

 

[PrincessInOz]

Having a job and not getting paid is an issue!

How are you doing?

 

[usnuzuloose]

Okay and you?

 

[PrincessInOz]

I'm fine. They boys are chomping at the bit to go get dinner. Last minute decision to eat out...we're going to the local Japanese. Might catch you later...?

 

[queenie82]

PIO has recently revealed she was a cake decorator...just a little prod......

I don't do work without getting paid.............hang on................yes I do
It's called unpaid overtime.....sigh....


My Sweet Potato is baking in the oven. Won't get that crispy part from oil/fat but it is healthier...and better than boiling...


I trust we will get food porn from Japanese??? I don't eat the raw stuff but I don't mind some Japanese.

 

[PrincessInOz]

At the restaurant now. I didn't bring my camera so no food porn tonight. I'm doing a bento box with chicken teriyaki. I do have some pics at home from when I took a pic of eggroll. Didn't I sharethat?

[PrincessInOz]

Hope the sweet potato worked out in the oven.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Eggrolls...

...and those in the Bento Box

 

[queenie82]

Not a fan of egg rolls...the casing is too thick. It's the main thing I hate about Chinese food in the USA. Much prefer Spring Rolls. Which I'm yet to find there.
But I LOVE Teriyaki!!

Cooked the potato for about an hour. Crisped up nicely some of the pieces. Didn't season at all. Just au naturel on baking paper. Love Sweet Potato

 

[PrincessInOz]

Those are actually Japanese Harumaki from the shop around the corner from me. Casing is Aussie style and fantastically light.

I like the eggrolls at Cheesecake Factory. Not sure what kind of Chinese food you're ordering in the US or where....but it's all about what you order. I guess I tend to stick with the Chinese food that is either stir-fried or steamed.


Glad you liked the sweet potato. Did you find the "just bung it in the oven" style of cooking easy?

 

[queenie82]

I always prefer steamed or stir-fried. [sadly my brother still like things fried]
But as soon as you get a 'package' at all they include eggrolls. I NEVER order an eggroll as even at a lovely restaurant we went to in Atlanta (complete with screaming Chinese across the room)....all the same awful casing

I always prefer bung it in the oven I'm incredibly lazy!!!

 

[PrincessInOz]

Even when I go to yum cha in Oz, I rarely get anything fried. I'm guessing that you're brother and I.....never the twain shall meet over preferred Chinese food.

You know - he actually posted on my TR. Albeit to answer a question for someone else....but I had no idea he was even lurking!

eeekk....now you know why I stay away from there

I was brought up with the very westernised Chinese food. My fav was always Lemon Chicken. I think because although fried...it wasn't balls like sweet and sour or honey...but pieces...
I did start turning more and more away from fried and more stir fried. Steamed dim sim vs fried myself...
Over the past 4 years my uni friends have been introducing me to more things. Noodle soups, more varieties in dumplings etc...but although working for a Chinese boss and being taken to good Chinese restaurants....my brother is a beef and black bean and Mongolian Lamb man...
