Very nice job. Better than the guy in Chandler but not so
breathtaking as when I saw it done in Singapore.

 DD> Also HULU has Martin Yan (who I watched learning to do this on Yan Can
 DD> Cook several years ago when I still watched the babble box) in a 30
 DD> minute (or so) video "Martin-Yan's Hong Kong - Noodling Around"

 DD> Worth the time to watch some really amazing people at their work.

I can't access Hulu for some reason. Probably one of my
security settings prevents its reader from running. No
great tragedy - I'm not a media person, much less a
multimedia one.

How long did it take for its reputation to improve to the
point where you took me there (actually, as I recall, I asked
for Q and we hazarded it, but you did bring up its existence).

I enjoyed it, thanks.

But only two Indian restaurants, that's interesting.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v7.07

      Title: Garam Masala #4
 Categories: Indian, Condiment
   Servings:  6

  2 1/2 c  Coriander Seeds
      1 c  Cumin Seeds
    1/4 lb Large Cardamoms
    1/2 c  Cinnamon
    2/3 c  Cloves
      1 c  Peppercorns
      1 ts Grated Nutmeg

  Roast the coriander and cumin seeds, separately, in a warm oven or under a
  low grill for about 3 to 5 minutes, shaking them round constantly if under
  a grill.  This is to make them easier to grind and the seeds should not
  burn.  Peel the cardamoms.  Remove the husks and strawy bits.  grind all
  the spices in a blender or finely adjusted coffee grinder.  Stor in an
  airtight container.  Use as directed in the recipes.
