No, no! The Finn Aki Kaurismäki has made numerous well-received films
aside
from Leningrad Cowboys, which I also love!

His latest is available here in the States and it certainly should be
available in the UK
as well: The Man Without a Past. It's a very humorous film, but it's a
lot
more serious than Leningrad Cowboys. It starts out very slowly, but it
eventually blossoms into a heart-warming thing. I don't remember the
names
of the other films of his I've seen though...

If you like Kaurismäki's quirkiness, I'm sure you'd like Man Without a
Past.
Also, consider any of the films of my fellow Clevelander, Jim Jarmusch.
One
of his films, I believe it is Mystery Train, includes a cameo with Aki
Kaurismäki! Or, if you like Johnny Depp, go for Ghost Dog...

Peter

Heeheee.... seen them too, & there's that coffee connection again, coffee &
cigarettes. But i didn't know Johhny Depp was in Ghost Dog? wasn't it Forest
Whitaker?

Yes, that's Jarmusch's latest. I haven't seen it yet.


But i didn't know Johhny Depp was in Ghost Dog? wasn't it Forest

I'm sorry, you're right. Johnny Depp was in Jarmusch's _Dead Man_.

Also, I think I got things mixed up above--I think it was Jarmusch that had
a cameo in a Kaurismaki film, not the other way around.

Hi Peter,

LeRoy has sent me a few of her Macaunese Eurasian recipes like Tacho &
Diablo/Devil, Ovos con jagery etc... & she's also reminded me of the
Portuguese legacy in Timor, yet another local variation of Eurasian food but
i guess with much more of a Indonesian influence. Any luck on your
(Filipino) side of things? i've given her the following...

FISH HEAD IN CLAYPOT
CRABS IN A HOT SAUCE
FISH TEMPERADU
DEVIL CUTTLEFISH
FISH MOOLIE
SEMUR(stew)
DEVIL CURRY
BABI ASSAM GARAM(tamarind pork)
GAMMON CURRY
FENG(mixed meat curry)
Chicken Debal Curry(spicy hot chicken)
Devil(spicy hot curry)

i hope to hear from you soon.

Hey DC,

Sorry for not having emailed you yet.

Since you mentioned you were perhaps planning on writing a book, I
hesitated, since, as I think you know, I was born and raised in Cleveland,
Ohio--hence my many comments rooting on the Tribe [Cleveland baseball team.]
Go Tribe!! Go Martinez and Hafner!! [See what I mean?]

I do have several old Filipino cookbooks with lots of Eurasian recipes, and
I do have my father as a reference (born 1920). Still, I hope that any
other Filipinos brothers or sisters out there might speak up on this aspect
of our cuisine.

But I'll contact you shortly, compadre.

Peter

I don't think we're anywhere near book writing material, it's mainly a
collection of old recipes, stories, gossip & old cultural info. which we're
sharing with each other, perhaps one day i might make it into a online
reference with credits to contributors etc. Unless some publisher out there
really wants to publish it, then we (all contributors) might agree to it
etc. Thanks for you reply... & looking forward to your email.

luego!

DC.

I really like fried chinese crullers, so far really just eating them
plain.

I call them yóu tiáo, even in English. I don't even know what a
"cruller" is. Sounds like they live in a stream or something.


I grew up calling them yew char kway. You tiao is the name in pudong hua?


Yan-Kit So has a recipe for it in her _Classic Food of China_.

She says make soy milk as usual, except use a bit less water when
blending it with the soaked beans (2 cups water to 1 cup soaked beans)
to get a thicker soy milk. Then simply season with salt, soy sauce,
chopped dried shrimp, rice vinegar, chopped scallions and hot chili
oil. (For each cup of milk, use 1/8 tsp salt, 1 tsp soy sauce, 1 tsp
rice vinegar, 1 tsp chopped dried shrimp, and 1 tsp chopped
scallions.) She doesn't mention you tiao, so I'm not sure if those
seasonings are the perfect match, but it sounds good!

Thanks for the rec.

You tiao are great with zhou (rice congee) too, btw.

That's how I've always known them. The soy milk is an interesting take on
it.
