Spicy sour soup containing glass noodles, dark fungus, mushrooms.

Our 'wet rack' in produce always had a watering hose but it was upgraded to an automatic sprinkling system which saved so much waste. Anyway this woman approached with her shopping cart and commented on how nice everything looked and I thanked her but then she asked if we used chemicals like 'MSG' to keep things looking fresh and I told her no, that the water came straight from the city of Walla Walla water supply.

She then said 'Good as I'm deathly allergic to MSG" I happened to see a container of 'Ac'cent' in her cart and said "I hope you're not going to purchase that Ac'cent" and she said "Why yes! I use it in almost everything" so I picked the container up, turned it around so she could see the ingredients--nothing but Monosodium Glutamate!

It was all I could do to keep from laughing at the gal--the look of horror on her face was -----well---'Priceless'

Just goes to show that "What you don't know won't hurt you'.

I know I'm a bit late but here's a few pics from St. Patrick's Day Supper--

Corned Beef in the sauce ready to head to the oven--



Cabbage on skewers along with some carrots in the steamer--



Grilled Ruben Sandwiches ready to eat--



Too busy getting ready to dish up for pics of it all on the table maybe next year

I remember vividly a scene from a movie which ironically I can't remember the name of ? It's these teenagers on the rough 1930's streets discussing a certain butcher shop where for 30 cents you could get a big ole corn beef sandwich and ..................... I'm salivating now even, .... geeze !

That being said, I am on a pork roast jag lately amd here was last nights creation using Adobo seasoning which is basically a chile powder with no western chile save for a little bit of cayenne, 250 for about 5 hours in the oven and whooooo momma its good !

I was a 'fussy eater' and one thing I really hated was sauerkraut. However several years ago I was talking to a German lady and mentioned my dislike and she asked if I rinsed it before using and I said no. She said to try it as it really mellowed the flavor and so I did and she was right!

I still only like it on a few things one is a Ruben Sandwich and another is on a Fazzaris which is a pizza place in Clarkston WA. It's called a 'Shotsy'. It has a mustard sauce base, shredded mozzarella and Swiss cheese some finely shredded sauerkraut a bit of sliced onion and smoked sausage. It's one of their top four ordered pizzas.

I make a rendition here at home when my youngest daughter is here as it's her absolute favorite pizza.

I've been having a hankering for some roast pork--maybe tonight

Yeah I knew about the sauerkraut trick but I still don't care a lot for it myself. But a big ol corned beef sammy with horse radish and mayo or mustard and I'm all over it. And any kind of good Rye will do,as well as the cheese.

I got spoiled on Russian kraut about 4 years ago and haven't looked back. It's got a little carrot in it and isn't near as sour and I could eat buckets of it. If you got a Slavic community or grocery anywhere near ,try it. You won't be disappointed.
