Did any of you hear the story about the sun being at the same spot it was when the earth was created very 26 years, according to the Talmud? It will be Wednesday at sunrise.
You are starting to sound like you’ve been hanging out with Propjoe. Seriously, Jews who don’t eat pork because they keep kosher don’t eat it all year long — they wouldn’t just stop this week. Those of us who do eat pork during the year vary greatly on how much we observe the kosher laws during passover. And, if you do observe Passover, you would have to give up more than the pork from Chinese cooking: rice (unless you are Sephardic), probably cornstarch, and perhaps even the tofu (is a soybean a legume? — I think you are supposed to avoid legumes, again, unless you are Sephardic). As you can see, I am not very observant.
If I don’t get to say this later, a happy Passover and Easter to all.
But, there is probably not one good Chinese restaurant within 1.5-2 miles of where I am in Bed Stuy; so I oftentimes order it here at the office and bring it home myself.
As a child, I used to watch Martin Yan’s cooking show years and years ago. I saw him on TV recently. He hasn’t aged at all! We should all be eating what he’s eating.
Reminds me of the dialogue from the Kung Fu series with David Carradine. Even as a child, I questioned why they were referring to this gweillo as a Chinaman. How many of you knew that Bruce Lee was considered for the role? I loved the series, however.
Master Po: Close your eyes. What do you hear?
Young Caine: I hear the water, I hear the birds.
Po: Do you hear your own heartbeat?
Caine: No.
Po: Do you hear the grasshopper that is at your feet?
Caine: Old man, how is it that you hear these things?
Po: Young man, how is it that you do not?

It was a snarky comment, slopefarm.

chicken…the best I’ve had in NYC (and the spiciest) has always been from Grand Szechuan which has 3-4 locations in Manhattan.
I have Fuchsia Dunlop’s cookbooks, also Martin Yan’s and a couple of others. I’m still suspicious that so much comes out of jars.
“chinamen”
