It's a coconut grinder. You cut the coconut in half and then cup one of the halves over the blades (from the side) and turn the crank. SUPER DELUXE!

Ah yes, they are next to the artificial sweeteners. I've been tempted to pick up a bottle whenever I'm there for my sushi fix. It would be interesting to compare the bottled essence to my freshly milked stuff.

HK supermarket is a great place to cruise for dates. The corner tofu area is wonderful if you like short women, the canned fruit section if you like tell men, and instant coffee section if you're gay. Something about the white coffee. I love the new open layout of the store with all the fresh fruit. I do miss the mini cake machines that used to be at the door.

If you had dim sum in Hong Kong, then you've already eaten these bugs. They're an absolute necessity in authentic har gow (虾饺) and the essence is a must in fried rice.

Instead of wasting money on store bought essence, make your own. Obtain 24 adult male bugs. Take one out and tie its head to a spoon with a thread so that it won't run away. Gently stroke the body as you blow on its wing. Soon its head will bend back and a milking fluid will leak from the rear. Quickly squeeze the bug until no more fluid drips. Scoop up with a spoon and store in a bottle.

If the head hasn't come off and you didn't squeeze it to death, save the bug for future milking. If you killed it, then you can eat it fresh right now or have it stir fried. Put the head on you nose for good luck.

You can use the essence in sauces, tea, bajunaba, coffee, etc. You might also want to try the Japanese bug, which is 6" (15 cm) long and eats frogs and snakes. The bite is poisonous though.

I'm guessing it has something to do with the heat rising from the takoyaki balls--either the warming of the bonito or the heat rising?

It's a wonderful, wonderful thing!

So why exactly do the bonito flakes make like sea anemones when they are on top of takoyaki? Very festive!

LOL!

That spot is too far west on 10th. I've watched so many restaurants open and close there.

Thanks!

Yes, Hope, I'm still on that other bottle. When I run out, I'll have to check out the DaRosario brand--we'll see what happens! Thanks for the suggestion.

Are you still using the truffle oil you still wrote about a while back? As far as I have been able to tell it isn't the real deal either. I did find one line that is , a 100% certified organic one byDaRosario that you can get at Fresh Direct.

I've lived in PA my entire life and I've yet to try Scrapple. It's really more popular in central PA (where I am now) than NE PA or Philly (where I spent the majority of my life). I'm willing, I've just never done it. I should take the boys to Denny's Lennies for breakfast this weekend. I bet I can find scrapple there.
