Please continue to poke fun at me but that won't change the truth.
That's how the cooks in my small part of the world do it. It is expected
that they cook in this way. All the bitching and snide remarks in the
world about how it's low class won't change that. Sorry.

Rest assured that I won't do this myself. The last time I did was as a
teen learning to cook many years ago. I do not recommend anybody use
baking soda or not use baking soda - what you do in your kitchen is your
business.

I have great respect for the Chinese cooks in my town. You however, are
free to come over here and make snide remarks about how low class this
practice is to their faces. Just get ready to run - they are freaking
experts with their cleavers. :-)
