28053. judithathome - 6/30/2014 12:13:43 AM Back from cousins' reunion in Norman OK...great fun! Arky, tell Ronnie that Keoni taught a younger generation how to make the breakfast casserole and biscuits...with excellent results!
And Jenerator: it pays to teach your students well: my cousin is a professor of ancient Greek at OU and one of his former (and favorite) students opened a wine shop in Norman. And my cousin...and by connection now, I...get a huge discount on wine.
The kid gave me half a case of Brunello at $20 a bottle...listed for $54.99 a pop.;-)
Best thing of all...the shop is one block from my cousin's house! 28054. arkymalarky - 6/30/2014 1:01:38 AM How nice!
I'm practicing on the wok, so Keoni is just contributing to good eating all around! 28055. judithathome - 6/30/2014 1:12:30 AM Ha!! I'll let him know! 28056. arkymalarky - 6/30/2014 1:22:28 AM I am going to buy a smaller wok. That one is just too large for me to control. I'm pretty wimpy. 28057. judithathome - 6/30/2014 5:02:29 PM I think that's a great idea...for no more than you'll be making for the two of you, that wok you have now is WAY too big...you could feed a family of 14 with that one! It's actually restaurant-sized. 28058. Ms. No - 6/30/2014 5:52:32 PM Just popping in to say what an awesome time was had in the wilds of Arkansas. God I love hanging out with the crew there. I'm excited to try Ronnie's chicken and dumplings recipe once I get home. I'd like to master it for the Fall and Winter. I've got his number now, so I can bug him at any moment for tips!
I continued my life of leisure in the wilds of western Carolina --- my little brother and I are now thick as thieves. Like my Dad's wife a lot, and had a good time hanging out on yet another porch looking at beautiful country side.
Arrived in NYC Friday night and am having a relaxed blast here as well. We've been watching the World Cup from various locales, hanging out in Washington Square park, visiting with their friends and generally just being city-folk. My brother was like "Don't you want to see a show?" but I honestly don't care much about that. I think it would be cool to see STOMP, but I'd rather just hang out and soak up the city.
Spending the day today with my SiL while my brother is on a business day-trip. We're headed to lunch, to the bookstore and then just wandering around to see what kind of trouble we can get into.
28059. Ms. No - 6/30/2014 5:55:25 PM Wabbit,
I'm so sorry to hear about your kitty. Cuddle up the others -- or at least those who will be cuddled. 28060. arkymalarky - 6/30/2014 6:33:39 PM hey nonny! So glad you're having such a good trip! It's pretty cool to get to be a city mouse and a country mouse within the space of a couple weeks! 28061. judithathome - 6/30/2014 10:41:28 PM MsNo, it's not like you can't see "Stomp" where you live....
Just the mention of Ronnie's Chicken and Dumplings makes me ravenous...
28062. arkymalarky - 7/1/2014 11:49:42 PM Judith, the stacking game I was trying to think of when you all were here is called the Tower of Hanoi, and it's also known as arkymalarky. 28063. alIstaIrcOnnOr - 7/2/2014 10:57:09 AM Anyone have advice or experience on woks on induction cook tops? It would have to be excessively flat-bottomed, and I fear it wouldn't heat very well anyway. 28064. iiibbb - 7/2/2014 3:57:01 PM Here's one for $1300 CLICK
No experience, but I'm doubtful due to the lack of surface contact. 28065. iiibbb - 7/2/2014 3:58:14 PM Here is the $30 option 28066. arkymalarky - 7/2/2014 9:11:44 PM just bought a small wok in bed bath and beyond. Couldn't find one anywhere besides Walmart, and it had a no stick coating that I didn't want.I'm waiting to get my car fixed and then picking up mom and dad from his doctors appointment and going home, and tomorrow I have to get allergy testing, which is awful, and when I get home from that I'm planting myself firmly at my house for about 10 days straight. Anybody who wants me to do anything that requires leaving it will have to fill out a form and take a number. 28067. judithathome - 7/2/2014 10:22:33 PM Arks, it just occurred to me that next, you need a rice cooker. ;-) 28068. arkymalarky - 7/3/2014 12:22:16 AM already got one of those, a really nice little rice cooker / vegetable steamer that I've already used and it works fantastic! got it right after y'all left. 28069. arkymalarky - 7/3/2014 1:24:53 AM well when I got home this wok is almost as big as the other one. Sigh. I have absolutely no sense of proportion. 28070. arkymalarky - 7/3/2014 7:48:20 PM fun times. Sitting in the room at the allergist's with 68 pricks on my back and 15 minutes before I can scratch myself to death. 28071. arkymalarky - 7/3/2014 7:48:45 PM 2 minutes since they did it and I feel if I don't scratch I'm going to die. 28072. arkymalarky - 7/3/2014 7:51:28 PM okay. I really truly believe I'm highly allergic to all 68 things. I do not see why we need 15 minutes to find out.
