Hi Michael,

 RH> I only took a small bit of the laulau, had enough other things that
 RH> the taste doesn't particularly stand out to me. And too, I think you
 RH> are more sensitive to tastes like that than I am.

 ML> Funny thing, I often like fishy things and in fact tolerate
 ML> that part of the taste spectrum a lot better than most white
 ML> folks do, but laulau just struck me as being utterly foul.

I used to like most all fish, now I'd rather have milder ones. Even
canned tuna can be too strong for me so I've switched to "chicken fish"
more often (what our girls used to call canned chicken).

 RH> I've been to all of the first 3, but not Denmark. Never did get to any
 RH> of the Scandinavian countries

 ML> The world's most expensive region to live in and
 ML> one of the most expensive to visit. And cold. That
 ML> said, I liked Helsinki a lot and tolerated Oslo and
 ML> Copenhagen pretty well (didn't spend much in the
 ML> latter two places).

At this point, I don't know if I'll ever get there. But, 35 years ago I
never thought I'd get back to Germany, let alone live there for close to
6 years. Stranger things have been known to happen.

 ML> Singapore Spicy Shrimp Over Spinach
 ML> 1 ts Thai chili paste
 RH> A bit (but not much) on the spicy side but looks good.
 ML> Depends on this ingredient, which can be a bit fiery for some.
 RH> I can imagine. I had a jar of chili garlic paste once, used it up and
 RH> haven't gotten a replacement yet.

 ML> As you are aware, I'd have a hard time without spicy food.
 ML> Yes, as I told Weller, I could live on steak and potatoes
 ML> hold the potatoes, but spice really does add to life, my
 ML> life anyhow.

I use a variety, this jar had been given to us by some friends. I guess
we ought to visit one of the Asian grocery stores in Raleigh and pick up
some more. We did get to Raleigh this afternoon but only spent money in
a fabric store. (G)

That one had both peanut butter and coconut in it, double whammy.
