Hi Michael,

 ML> Great steps.

Yes, we're waiting for the school year to end and rain to stop before we
grill the one.  We'll also wait until we get back from VA B.

 ML> Ask for a bib ...

Actually, for the most part, I do pretty well on keeping the mess down.
I can dissect a piece of chicken quite well with a knife & fork--when I
started college, the meals were served family style and we were expected
to use good manners.  That meant no picking up the chicken to eat it off
the bone.  Did you notice the word "expected" above?  That meant, in
reality, very few people did cut all the meat off the bone and ate it
that way when we had something like fried chicken. (G)  Halfway thru my
sophomore year the school opened a new dining hall where eveything was
served cafeteria style and the emphasis on manners was dropped a few
levels.

 ML> You'd be surprised, though, how a restaurant can evolve over

 ML> Sad how someone's effort can go rapidly down the tubes by a

Or ignorance.


 ML> Pork with Soy Sauce (Babi ketjap)
 RH> Looks really good--and easy.

 ML> The guy is an authentic Indonesian (though with Dutch blood)

He's got good credentials--since the Dutch ruled Indonesia for so long,
some of their cooking had to have mixed in with the local culture.

 ML> Braised Beef with Soy Sauce (Daging semoor)
 ML> cat: Indonesian, United Airlines
 ML> servings: 4

That looks good; add some rice and stir fry a few vegetables....
