Geeking out about food
is there anything better than having fellow food geeks as friends? no, no there isn't. here's the latest example. the other night, i was emailing back and forth with my pal josh, who said he'd be making my baked wontons recipe that week. so i said: "hey if you or michelle need company going to the asian market for the vegan wonton wrappers, drop me a line because i seriously need to head out there. i'm making the real food daily cashew cheddar cheese soon and that shit calls for a whole cup of agar. that's like, what, $10 at new seasons? F that." minutes later, i got an email from michelle: "that cheese rucking focks, for one thing. BUT, you can use the agar powder which is 90 cents from the asian market and not the agar flakes. it's all about the weight. so it's actually super cheap! i think she had a comment about that in the book, but you might not have that info. so i use one little package of agar powder and it's perfect for the recipe. i even have several of them, and would be happy to drop one off for you!" and then a minute after that, i got a reply from josh: "michelle just spent a few minutes very animatedly telling me what she just emailed you. arms waving, making measurement signs with her hands. agar. who would have thought it'd bring out the mime in my wife." food geeks, i love you so much! back tomorrow with some waffle porn!
