Oh the memories, LOL. I once posted that I made a fabbo Phad Thai and the
trick was adding a dollop of Laura Schudder's chunky peanut butter to
dissolve in the sauce. It really made a difference and chopped peanuts are
an ingredient to begin with. You'd have thought I'd bbq'd a puppy. The
vitriol and hate was nothing short of mental illness.

Expecting the usual suspects will be crawling out from under their rocks any
moment now.
