Scandal!? From the City Paper:

Why do we care if someone imports their bread?

My Jew-boy Christmas, lamb Biriyani, with katchumbar. Nothing says Christmas like Persian influenced north Indian Muslim food. Delicious!

Pi Bim Bap; radish, spinach, carrots, mushrooms, zucchini, eggplant, beef, egg, kochujang, and rice. Forgot the sesame seed garnish until after the photo.

This is fantastic news. Thanks for sharing. I am very excited to try this place.

Edited to say, that green object ^ looks suspiciously like a genuine kaffir lime. If so, would you mind sharing where you found it?

Yes, wonderful kaffir lime. Found them at Bangkok 54 a few weeks back, and they were fresh. I was super surprised to find them. I bought six and froze them. Haven't seen them there since, and they didn't have any last Sunday. I used to see frozen ones sometimes at Duangrat, but not for a while.

On a Thai cooking tangent, I had a hell of a time finding cilantro with the roots still attached, even at the Thai groceries. Finally, I found the Giant on Monroe Ave. in Del-Ray sells them with roots.

No offense to Mark Bittman, but you may want to try this recipe, from Kasma Loha-unchit. It's worked well for me. Also, I have found that blocks of "seedless" tamarind usually have seeds and need to be soaked and strained, but I prefer the block kind to the concentrate.

Hello,

My name is Eric, I am a DJ and an obsessive cook. I've been cooking for about 20 years. I cook mostly north Indian, Thai, Korean, and recently Chinese (mostly Szechuan). Also dabble in southern Italian, Mexican, Burmese, Malay, Indonesian, and South Indian. I think I like cooking even more than eating. This site is a great resource for farmers markets, Asian groceries and other things so I hope I can contribute something. Also a big fan of quality beer and BBQ (North Carolina style). I love funky things in music and food.
