I have some reservations about putting honey on tofu but I can guarantee you that we'll love gado gado! I've fried tofu before but it never occurred to me to marinate it with an intense paste then coat with a starch and fry. That's some new territory right there.

This morning I had a Stone Cookie from Mt. View Bakery. It is likely that
you wouldn't be able to figure out why people like this rock hard
cookie/biscuit. My wife and I can't figure out why people like them. I had
one, she had two. Most people will dip it in coffee or cocoa to soften it up
some. I'm a macho kind of guy so I just attack it commando style.

To me there's way too much sauce and that sauce looks exactly like a
rife case of diarreah, honest opinion.

Years ago, I ordered several bags of cookies from Mt. View Bakery through the phone. The lady taking my order said she'd mail it right out. I got the distinct impression that she was going to walk my order to the post office.

"Do you want my card number?"

"No, we'll send you the bill."

I got the cookies with the invoice and so I mailed a check right off. That's Hawaiians for you. Is it any wonder that they got their land stolen right from under their feet? No it isn't.

I will! Google says that I've exceeded the posting limits so it might be while. Bless their little hearts!

I cannot say that you're wrong. OTOH, your obsession with diarrhea is one of excessive proportions. It makes my flesh crawl.

As far as the sauce goes, the sauce is the dish, the rice and anything else on the plate are the accompaniments. Japan curry is served on a dish, not in a bowl. Is that rather peculiar? Yes it is.

Dsi1, I have never had that message from Google. Are you sure it isn't from your wifi provider?

Evidently, I have been posting promiscuously today. Google no like. My internet cable service doesn't really care what the heck I do as long as I pay my bill. Beats me why Googles cares how much I post. Some people might see it as a bad thing but I don't mind being reined in. I post too much anyway.

My guess is that it's some kind of wild times out at the ranch house. I like to think it's the depravity center of the US.

But it's not spicy.

Actually, we have a papaya tree and so do my inlaws. Ours taste and
smell a bit pukey when ripe. Theirs taste nice. I wonder where that
difference comes from.

I love mango, rambutan, lychee. I wouldn't call citrus tropical.
Oranges in the Netherlands tend to come from Spain, which is hardly
tropical. I'm not even sure if it's subtropical. Maybe. Maybe I'm
nitpicking.

Yes, that's what i just posted about! Our papayas smell and taste
faintly like vomit. But equally ripe papayas from another papaya tree
are quite nice, a bit like calmed down mangos. There must be different
strains. I guess this is where the Latin names come in. Papaya
Variegata "Mrs. Jones backyard".

No! They grow in warm temperate and Mediterranean climates.

Years ago, I ordered several bags of cookies from Mt. View Bakery through
the phone. The lady taking my order said she'd mail it right out. I got the
distinct impression that she was going to walk my order to the post office.

"Do you want my card number?"

"No, we'll send you the bill."

I got the cookies with the invoice and so I mailed a check right off. That's
Hawaiians for you. Is it any wonder that they got their land stolen right
from under their feet? No it isn't.

It is a long time since I have seen anything like that!
These days it is always the 'card'.

That looks like a rock. Watch your teeth!!

But it's not spicy.

I never said it was ;p

Actually, we have a papaya tree and so do my inlaws. Ours taste and
smell a bit pukey when ripe. Theirs taste nice. I wonder where that
difference comes from.

That's interesting. Maybe a different type?

I love mango, rambutan, lychee. I wouldn't call citrus tropical.
Oranges in the Netherlands tend to come from Spain, which is hardly
tropical. I'm not even sure if it's subtropical. Maybe. Maybe I'm
nitpicking.

Must be. There are yellow ones and red ones, I believe. But in this
case, they're both yellow.

Ours grew wild, so I have no idea about different strains. I was
surprised how fast it grew from seed and was able to bear fruit. On my
bucket list for this year is to plant a few more fruit trees, preferably
exotic, but I have to decide what exactly those will be. We also currently
have a couple banana trees and pineapple bushes, and the neighbor has
avocado and lime trees that grow over the fence and produce prolifically so
no need for those.

You must live in the subtropics, like us. Banana's popular here, but
there's a restriction to do with a banana plant disease. Not sure. We
have 1 or more of lychee, custard apple, persimmon, loquat, avocado,
lime, lemon, orange, mandarin, lemonade, macadamia, olive, jaboticaba.

They don't all produce yet, though. I've been pampering the lychee
tree because it wasn't going anywhere without help. It's now trying to
produce 1 lychee

Not exactly the subtropics, but coastal south Florida. Part of the time,
anyway. Most of the year I live in the cold tundra of Minnesota, where
apples abound but thats pretty much it in terms of fruit trees. Plums,
pears and tart cherries grow here as well, but theyre not too common. You
threw a couple new ones at me€”Ive never before heard of jaboticaba, and
loquat only rings the faintest of bells. Ill have to investigate their
viability. We might be in too wet of an area for olives, but Id love to
grow them.

I don't know what loquat is myself. I'll have to wait and see when
they bear fruit.

Jaboticaba is like a rain forest cherry. The fruit grows straight on
the branches, quite strange. Problem is that these trees grow very
slowly. Ours are nowhere near producing.

You are quite right. When I bit into that "cookie" thing, nothing happened. It was a fail. My teeth were stopped at the front gate. You have to learn a technique to biting through that thing. That cookie rocks - literally!
