 NB>>> Maybe she's just working up to getting you back as a guest chef...?
 ML>> H'm. I'd rather guest chef at Casa Barco-co.
 NB>> Does Annie know not to volunteer you...?  ;)
 ML> I've recently been cc:ed on a bunch of e-mails between
 ML> her and Liz that refer to various projects that I am
 ML> cordially invited to participate in. The big one is
 ML> Thanksgiving weekend, which is generally reserved for
 ML> my friend Sue's big party, so I have a good excuse.

Sounds like a good thing...  :)

 ML> But Annie's been kind of laid up with her hernia surgery
 ML> (two hernias), so she's doing some schemes I'm sure.

Too much time to scheme up stuff, since she can't be off and running,
eh...?  :)

 ML>> Winter melon and luobo (daikon) both turn pale white
 ML>> translucent when cooked, with the melon fibers more or
 ML>> less straight and the luobo ones curved, with a distinct
 ML>> core area that might or might not be present in each piece.
 NB>> You might have to point them out to me sometime... :)

 ML> Raw or cooked?

Yes...?   Actually, particularly cooked...  :)  I'm not sure which, if
either, of them I might have seen cooked and not recognized as such...
the turnip cakes don't have the distinctives, being mashed (I'm
guessing) rather than sliced... and I don't know as I've seen them
sliced in soup or any such... :)

 ML>> M's note: the choice of fruit in the below recipe
 ML>> changes the entire nature of the dish; the greens
 ML>> not so much.
 ML>> Tinolang Tulya - Clam Stew
 ML>> 1 c unripe papaya or winter melon, 2" pieces
 NB>> Is it regularly found both ways...?  Or is one or the other more
 NB>> authentic...?  

 ML> It's not my kind of cooking, but I'd guess that it's a
 ML> "whatever is on hand" type of recipe. Tinolang just means
 ML> vegetable stew I think, the second word referring to the
 ML> protein ingredient. 

Ah.

 ML> The following might be referred to as Tinolang baboy -
 ML> Stewed Roasted Pork Belly with Winter Melon

Ok.  :)
