Dried kelp, mushrooms, and shallots (or maybe scallions) for soup. It
almost looks like a bag of whole-leaf black tea. All the instructions
are printed in Chinese. Is this just for making a broth, or do you boil
it to make a soup and leave the stuff floating in it? Does it have to
be soaked first? How long to cook it?

(BTW, I still couldn't find any pork uterus, but I wasn't curious enough
to ask for it)

Thanks,
Bob

I finally made it to a metro area and hit a small Asian mrkt, more an
import shop with some foodstuffs. I was in such a hurry to get so
much done in a couple days, I didn't remember much of the stuff I
really wanted. I did get the freshest szechuan pepper I've ever
found. I also got some coconut milk and a can of coconut "cream",
something I've never seen canned. Got the noodles I wanted and a
couple jars of LeeKumKee sauces and a jar of Indonesian sambal. Not a
bad haul.

Why would it be in with the booze?

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Because the grocery store manager wants people to wander all over the store
looking for it. Maybe they'll run across other things they've been meaning
to buy.

I don't know whether you are one of those among who were mean to me. I
don't think you were but even if you were, it doesn't matter because I
don't care to remember names and so usually, I don't remember except
Gumbo. I remember that meanie.

Anyway, how do you like that Sambal? The very first time I came across
"Sambal" was in recipe where it asked for it. It was back when I
still didn't have much cooking skills. That pretty easy noodle recipe
asked for Sambal and I didn't have it and so I got online and got a
recipe to make it and I did. It was quite soem work but the remembered
that it tasted good. I don't remember the taste now. I don't
remember that noodle dish either. I am thinking to start mkingn more
Indonesian dish (soup dishes because they seem to have a lot of soup
dishes) but I know nothing about Indonesia cuisine. Do you know a bit
since you bought Sambal. It's Indonesian thing, isn't it?

No Asian market excursion can be considered a success if you leave
without any pork uteri.

The one thing I really *do* buy at Asian markets is duck, especially
the wings. That, and ripe jalapenos. I wish that the closer
international foods market had fresh duck.

<laughs> Did you ever use that or did you end up tossing it?
At the very lease, you could use it to make liverwurst...

I tossed it (without eating it, that is. As opposed to tossing it
*after* I ate it).

I'm surprised you blew the money on it if you did not intend to eat it.
:-) I've taken plenty of pics with my digicam at MT and they never
seemed to care. You could have just taken a pic in the meat case. One of
these years I'm going to set up a picture series and post it.
