Wanting to if find a unique way to prepare it, I happened upon your blog and knew this was the one. With only minor adjustments to accommodate our tastes, the whole family enjoyed it (which is truly saying something for my bunch). Thanks for the great recipe post!

Someday I WILL go to Colorado-- the living beer commercial! :P Try it! It is soooo easy and quick! :)<BR/><BR/>Maryann: Thank you so much! It's my pleasure to include it!<BR/><BR/>Sylvia: Thank you! Thai rocks!!<BR/><BR/>Ginny: I would love to meet you too! Just let me wrap my head around things first... I'll email you soon as I can! (Hope you're not too busy!)<BR/><BR/>Bridget: I would LOVE to go to Cuyahoga! I love me some nature :) It's a 30-minute drive away. We'll see if I have funds to spare to go there for a while. Thanks so much!<BR/><BR/>Darlene: That's what I thought too but I thought it was salty even with the rice. I think I added too much shrimp at the end :) That's what I get for not measuring/ tasting, lol.<BR/><BR/>Dwiana: Thank you! If you were here I'd definitely make it again ;) Thank you for the vote of confidence!<BR/><BR/>Thip: Thanks for the tips!

Let me see if I can get a hold of Ann too :)<BR/><BR/>Elra: Aw, thanks! I love the Stanford area-- so green and beautiful. Thanks for visiting my article!<BR/><BR/>Deeba: Hah! Then again your kids probably have smaller heads than I and they'd be right to get it! I'll find a way to still be around, don't worry ;)<BR/><BR/>Dr. Em: Thanks! I booked via Travelocity because annoyingly there are still airlines that won't let you book directly without an American credit card. Annoying!<BR/><BR/>Duncan: Hah! I wish they could see how good I am at it. But the whole visa/maintenance thing is a drawback to program directors. I guess I need to convince them that they'd be crazy not to have me ;) I would hope there's fresh produce nearby! I'm actually glad Nevada is closed, lol. Hmm, I'll try to figure out what an all-encompassing beanie is.<BR/><BR/>Mila: Thank you! I did book at Holiday Inn, already, though-- it was inexpensive and only five minutes away from the hospital by car. Yay! I *will* eat well ;) (just not a LOT if I can help it!)<BR/><BR/>Heather: Thank you! I hope you do enjoy it as much as my family did :)<BR/><BR/>Graeme: Ingrate?!? Mmm-hmm. No, you'll have to eat my sole meuniere first, then this.<BR/><BR/>Beachlover: Oh, don't worry, I'll find a way to visit NY more once I have spare time in NJ... assuming I have $$ of course ;)<BR/><BR/>Nirmala: Thanks so much! I think the dried shrimps are more for depth of flavor than meat... I wouldn't dream of eating dried shrimp as they are!<BR/><BR/>Pam: Thanks so much!

I understand it snowed again recently!<BR/><BR/>Monkey: Hee, hoop-jumping :) I will, thanks :) Oh, goodness, wala yang pagka-a-boy na yan. Shh, don't tell anyone! Ha ha. Hey, that was funny! I didn't even think of that, though my mind did go to a few dirty places.<BR/><BR/>Peabody: Thanks so much! I wonder why you can't do my curry though... hmm<BR/><BR/>Marc: Thanks so much! I'll probably try to e-mail you from there-- Lord knows how many times I'll be able to go to NY in the first place, but I do hope to eventually meet you! :)<BR/><BR/>Maria: Thanks so much :)<BR/><BR/>Rita: Hi Rita, I took up medicine and graduated 2007. CS2 stands for the Clinical Skills exam (part 2) of the US Medical Boards :) Thanks so much!<BR/><BR/>Heather: You know, my brother tried Cinci-style spag from one of the reputed best but he was all "meh" about it. And we like chili! I wonder what it is that was lacking... About Akron: eek!<BR/><BR/>Jude: Thanks! I was quite surprised by it myself... Getting pissed with all the long ingredient lists in some of the books I saw :P<BR/><BR/>Dawn: Aww! Thanks so much for the vote of confidence! I hope it's what they're looking for ;) How can you possibly be the only one at home who likes curry?!?! Your family needs convertin'! :P<BR/><BR/>Dee: Thank you! I did pass by the Fort but didn't go in the tent. Actually a Debenham's scarf isn't so bad-- P700. And they recently had a 20% off so I was able to get some looovely stuff (thermal underthings) for cheap!<BR/><BR/>Sunny: Hee! PPPK - I like that. Thanks so much and I hope 2009 brings more blessings to you as well!<BR/><BR/>Lynne: Oh, no, I'd have to COOK breakfast first! Ha ha ha. Aw, that's so nice of you to say! I'll be sure to give you a buzz when I'm ever in the area!<BR/><BR/>Jescel: Thanks so much! I can't wait to tell you about my (upcoming) adventures!<BR/><BR/>Linda: I know, it's amazing isn't it?! (Talk about tootin' my own horn!)<BR/><BR/>Mikky: Aw, thanks so much for the prayers! I'll need 'em in the freezing cold! Hee, classy sitaw!<BR/><BR/>Marvin: Motherf--! It was MILA! Hee hee hee. You can't hide it buddy; you were ecstatic to meet me. Kidding :P I think Philly is immediately West of Reading but I'll be in PA for a very short time :/ Someday!<BR/><BR/>Shari: Argh! I'm shivering as it is and it's 23°C! Lol. Thank you!! The rice flour has no gluten and high starch, and it fries up shatteringly crispy. That's why I decided on cornstarch-- not as shatter-y but a good enough substitute :) We sell rice flour here commonly but we don't keep any at home :/ 4 cups is waaay too much! Shallow frying is sufficient!<BR/><BR/>Kittymama: Aw, we must be on the same wavelength! I'm so glad you decided to drop by. And it's so sweet of you to offer to buy them! If you do, I'll pay for them na.
