Well...I am not as big on Asian food as you are...I think my tastes
run more to the Mediterranean style foods.

But sure..give me any suggestions..

I do have a cabbage in the fridge, but I think it is going to a
Moravian slaw that I saw made on FoodTV a few years back, by Sara
Moulton. I am thinking of taking that to the Christmas potluck at
work..it is a nice festive side dish. I have made it before and it is
very good. I have all the ingredients for it already.

I do have an extensive cookbook library (somewhere in the range of
1000,give or take a hundred or so) so I can usually find good recipes
for whatever I have. Those cookbooks cover a wide range of cuisines,
from French, Italian, Vietnamese, Chinese, Malaysian, Spanish,
American, vegetarian, to I don't know what else...LOL. I have books
on baking, desserts, etc as well..so if I am craving something for a
dessert or something sweet, I can usually find something in those
books to cover that desire.
