Good Oyster Sauce
 

I guess you could say I'm an oyster sauce aficionado. My
favorites used to be Lee Kum Kee Premium (not the "Panda" stuff).
and Amoy with Dried Scallop (no longer available?)

I'm, always looking for 'oyster extract' to be the first or
second ingredient on the label. So when I saw this for $.99, I
thought I'd give it a try. At $.99, I figured I could take one
taste and throw it away if it was nasty.

Best stuff I've tasted yet. It beats out the others because it's
not as sweet as LKK or Amoy. It's "Dim Dim Chef's Choice" brand.

Highly recommended. Pick some up if you see it. It sure beats
paying $4 for LKK premium.

Might as well throw in some real food in this post. This was
breakfast this morning:

Those are rice flour macaroni since I was out of the flat chow
fun noodles.

I love chow fun and rice cakes. I have never seen the rice flour
macaroni. Do they go by another name? Are they sold semi-fresh,
vacuum packed, like rice cakes?

What is the green veggie?

My dear sir, I would never throw "anything" at you!

Would that I could afford to go sushi. Sashimi grade fish is around $30/lb
+ $4 or 5 for gasoline.

Say hi to Nate when ya see him.
