 ML> Our razor clams have the decency to look like razors as well.

Ours are traditionally known as "razor fish".  Dunno why, as they look
like neither, but can still be used as either.
 
 GJ> Loo?   That is the sort of sensible thing I would write.
 ML> I'm ashamed!
 GJ> And so you should be!  Next you will be craving vitamins.
 ML> And become skinny and get a pointy Freudlike beard? I think not.

What a horrid picture!

The middle-aged woman in the kitchen looked like the genuine article.
It appears that they are rather tolerant in their interpretation of
Koranic teachings.  Although Halal, they advise on their menu that
diners can bring in their own wine or beer.  They also do take-away,
so the faithful could take their meals home to eat at approved times.

Quite likely.  I went back there last Sunday (Fathers' Day in these
parts) with Liz and Nancy, and introduced Liz to chicken feet.  After
an initial wariness, she enjoyed them and ordered more.  They were the
best I have had.  One of these days I hope to try their "Snow White
chicken feet" - something I have never seen or tried.  Something new
that I had on Sunday was "Lo mai gai" - sticky rice, chicken, Chinese
sausage, etc, wrapped in a lotus leaf and steamed.

      Title: Grilled Tenderloin a la Houston Jet Set
 Categories: Texan, Beef, Steak, Marinades, Grill
      Yield: 10 Servings
 
      5 lb Whole beef tenderloin
      1 c  Dry red wine
    1/2 c  Minced onion
      2    Bay leaves
    1/4 c  Plus
      1 ts Good quality olive oil
      3    Cloves of garlic, minced
      1 tb Hot grated horseradish
      1 ts Crushed pequin chiles
      1 tb Worcestershire sauce
      6    Thick slices bacon
     10 lg Shiitake or other meaty
           Mushrooms, stems removed
 
  Combine wine, onion, bay leaves, 1/4 cup olive oil, garlic, horse
  radish, pequin chiles and Worcestershire sauce in a shallow bowl or
  heavy plastic bag.  Trim any excess fat from steak and then place in
  marinade, turning to coat both sides.  Cover and refrigerate
  overnight.
  
  Preheat grill to high or broil or 550F.  While grill is heating, using
  wooden picks to secure ends, wrap bacon around beef, allowing 1 inch
  or more between pieces of bacon.  Place steak on rack.  Grill about 5
  minutes per side or until browned on outside and rare to medium
  inside.
  
  Brush mushrooms with remaining olive oil and place on rack when steak
  is turned.  If bacon becomes too browned, place foil over it or
  discard bacon if not desired.  Grill mushrooms until softened and
  keep warm. Remove steak from grill and allow to stand for 20 minutes.
  Cut on the diagonal into thin slices and server with mushrooms on the
  side.

  Note - I actually did this with a flank steak (2 pounds) and did not
  use the bacon.  I cut down the marinade by half (except for the
  peppers of course).  I used fresh grated horseradish.
