Wish I was younger and was able to get excited by a buffet like in the
old days. Nowdays, the thought of massive quantiles of food might make
me ill. :-(

Sorry to hear that it was not good. I like Mex & BBQ a lot.

My little fusion dish is a stuffed poblano fried in a battered spring
roll wrapper. It's not much of a fusion but I ain't that creative. OTOH,
I suppose most of my cooking is a *******ization of different cuisines.
I'll put ketchup in teriyaki sauce and spam in fried rice. I have no
problem with changing an Okinawan dish of shoyu pork into Filipino pork
adobo or some mixture of the two. My cooking's not fusion - mostly I
follow the long and honorable tradition of experienced non-professional
cooks: using what I got and what I know.

I hope you have a great lunch today. I'm having some instant coffee and
microwave oatmeal. You probably think I'm kidding - you would be wrong.
