-=> Quoting Ruth Haffly to Nancy Backus on 12-10-15  20:02 <=-

I see we got a large dump of different dates from you finally... from
6Dec to 29Dec... and rather mixed... 10th, some in the 20's, 6th and
then a 29th... So if things seem a little mixed.......... ;)

 NB>>> Sometimes the tried and true works the best after all.... and
 NB>>> then, again, sometimes, one finds a new favorite to add to the
 NB>>> list... ;)
 RH>> Don't know until you try. I'd had the spicy pork before but didn't
 RH>> recall the thicker coating of flour(?) on it. Whatever the pork was
 RH>> coated with had the spicing in it.
 NB>> Maybe the cook that night had a heavier hand with the coating than

 RH> It was lunch time, both times I've had it. Could be, they've gotten a
 RH> different cook in the time between our visits.
 
Or, they've had more than one cook, and you got a different one the
second time from the first.... 
 
 NB>> before...?  But, exactly, one doesn't know how one might like
 NB>> something until one tries...  :)
 RH> True, it was good, if a bit on the hot side. It warmed me up quickly,
 RH> as did Steve's spicy chicken, him.
 
Both thermal and spicy heat, then...?  :)  We had a spicy noodle dish
today at the new Malaysian place... the last thing supposedly spicy we'd
gotten there wasn't all that spicy (a basil beef), so this time I
specified that we wanted it spicy... and were asked how spicy... given a
choice between 3 and 4, we took 3... and that turned out to be a nice
heat... a little tingle and lots of flavor...  :)

 NB>>> appetiser-sized one... I understand that there wasn't one at
 NB>>> your place, though...
 RH>> Unfortunately not. Not sure what a couple of larger bowls of soup
 RH>> would have cost, we got a small one (appiteaser) as part of the
 RH>> "bento box" meal.
 NB>> We'd've just got one larger bowl of soup and split that, along with
 NB>> splitting the pancake... :)  I suspect that our next visit there won't
 NB>> be until Christmas Eve... it's pretty much a tradition now, for us to
 NB>> go there after the Christmas Eve service...  :)

 RH> At this point, I've no idea what's on our menu for Christmas Eve. It
 RH> varies from year to year and place to place. Last year it was fairly
 RH> basic as we were still settling moving dust and left a few days after
 RH> Christmas for NY.

We did go to Seoul House for Christmas Eve... split an appetizer-size
seafood pancake and then an order of spicy squid... both very nice...
And then we decided that what we wanted for dessert was Fu's either egg
custards or ice cream, and went there next...  ;)  I think we managed to
take them by surprise, coming in only for dessert...  ;)  Decided on a
bowl of red bean ice cream to share...  :)
 
 RH>>> The sushi thing came as part of the box--it was close to falling
 RH>>> apart (not rolled tight enough) when I picked it up.
 NB>>> No, not good sushi...  I think I'd just skip that sort of dealie
 NB>>> altogether... ;)
 RH>> It's a good way to get an assortment of things without having a lot of
 RH>> any one item except the rice (and a good serving of) meat.
 NB>> As long as the assortment of things is all good... ;)  Like with Fu's
 NB>> bento boxes...  :)

 RH> We might have to try one of those at a visit.

It's a nice sampler...  :)   As to the sushi thing at your Korean place,
I did notice on the menu at Seoul House something that looked a lot like
a rolled sushi, seaweed on the outside, but it was called something
else... they have new menus now, that is made of pictures of the
different items with the name and price...  I ended up asking to see one
of the older menus (still available when we were there) to be sure I was
getting what I wanted...  :)

 NB>>>> Might be better to send to Richard, same as mine except
 NB>>>> rjbackus instead of backus...  ;)  He can handle the bigger
 NB>>>> emails a lot easier... :)
 RH>>> OK, I'll make sure he knows to send the pictures to Richard.
 RH>>> Probably easier to see on the computer than the phone.
 NB>>> True...
 RH>> I passed the work on, don't know if he's sent the pictures yet.
 NB>> As far as I know he hasn't... at least Richard hasn't said anything
 NB>> about it yet...

 RH> I'll put a bug in his ear about it; he's been a bit preoccupied the
 RH> last few days.

You were pretty busy back then on getting ready for your trip... and
since then, being on the trip.... after all...  ;)
