I'm finishing book 4 of the Akira manga, I'll be lurking here. | |

![]() The movie -- if it's Akira I'm thinking of -- was great |

![]() love this Le Thu. |

![]() Found the CD in Texas over the holidays, Hyde -- it's so good |

![]() Hi Gary and all! Here in spirit. Gary, don't tease re. sauce, spill the beans! |

![]() speaking of Yau Su Rong, there's some stuff at Madrotter today; madrotter-treasure-hunt.blogspot.com... |
![]() |
![]() The secret is to make it with a can of tomatoes, real tomatoes, Italian sausage and fennel seeds. A few other things, too ;) |
![]() |
![]() HI HOLLY! |
![]() |
![]() Ah, the "few other things". Unicorn tears and dragon blood, I assume ;-) |

best simple tomato sauce - peel medium yellow onion stud with cloves put in saute pan with good olive oil cook until soft open can of SAN MARZANO tomatoes. (very important detail). squish in hands. add to pan. cook until reduced, add salt and pepper to taste. remove onion. boom. done. |
![]() |
![]() Well, point being that it COULD be anything. Oh, wait ... MUSHROOMS. Those are important. The other things beyond that are garlic, sea salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning |
![]() |
![]() none of that sounds very Chinese New Year, though I guess the noodles are close! |

Doug Schulkind:
@glenn That is basically Marcella Hazan's famed simple tomato sauce (though she doesn't use cloves and she does sauté the onion in butter.) In our house, we just call it a Marcella. As in, "who's gonna make the Marcella?!" |

Wed. 2/18/15 7:31pm
glenn:
oh yes. i forget to mention, add butter add at end of cooking cycle. |
![]() |
![]() Mushroom most excellent when available. @Glenn - your sauce is very similar to my go-to simple sauce, which is Marcella Hazan's, which omits the cloves and subs butter for olive oil. So good. |
![]() |
![]() Ah jeez Doug, jinx! |

Wed. 2/18/15 7:32pm
glenn:
try it with the cloves. it makes a good recipe better. |

![]() @glenn - I will! |

![]() crap, I really need to go into NYC to buy Hong Kong movies before all those places have vanished |

also, butter and olive oil cooked together are freakin' awesome. |

![]() Oh I put wine in the sauce too -- forgot about that. I usually do put butter in as well, but held off tonight for some reason |

![]() Gung Hay Fat Choy FMUvians ! ...The lads I make noise w/ get together Wed.s, so I haven't been to the Bodega lately - but this week's an exception!

@Gary: It's the same as the movie, but the manga has three times more story than the movie. The movie is almost only the beginning and the end of the story, it seems. | |

![]() I put wine in almost everything (hic). I'VE BEEN ICED IN FOR 3 DAYS AND WINE IS RUNNING PERILOUSLY LOW. Not complaining though. Thankful to be stuck in a house with power, heat & food. And 5 bottles of rum, if I get desperate ;-) |
![]() |
![]() Whoa, really? Like iced-over streets? |

![]() @Holly I will happily trade your ice for the eight and a half foot tall snow drift in my yard in Massachusetts! |

Supposed to reach -11°F here Thursday night. Schools are already closed tomorrow. No worries. Young Lincoln is on a brief vacay in L.A.! |

![]() Damn. I remember waiting for a bus in Minneapolis when it was -14° out and thinking "Don't these people care about QUALITY OF LIFE?!?" |

excellent first hour Gary - catch the rest on the archive |
![]() |
![]() @Gary - yes. Rural Chapel Hill, long icy driveway, long hilly icy private road leading to icy rural road, the latter of which was finally semi-cleared today. I just finished the damn driveway ~4 pm today, at which point it promptly started snowing. Schools cancelled again tomorrow. We're only going down to 11F tonight, but 0F tomorrow. Balmy compared to @ndbob & @Doug! Wind chill is killer though @hyde - No, that's OK, I couldn't possibly -wouldn't want to deprive a man of his drift! Is it at least sleddable? @ljfw - Oh, that you could :-) |

OK, this is more than vaguely Die Antwoordish. |

![]() @Holly nope, not sleddable. tree in the way! |

![]() I do actually know a guy with combat-honed chopper skills. We could form a delivery business. |

hey Gary, we're pumpin the show in the volunteer room at the station | |

![]() @Doug ... isn't it?!? Here's the video: www.youtube.com... |
![]() |
![]() Steve! Howdy! |
![]() |
![]() But that video doesn't scare me. Die Antwoord videos terrify me. |
![]() |
![]() It's definitely not the same kind of crazy as Die Antwoord. |
![]() |
![]() Enjoying myself greatly thus far, Gary! |

Doug Schulkind:
@Holly in NC Yes, absolutely. Die Antwoord videos are rabid. I kept looking for my nephew, Reuben, in that Hitchhiker video. He has been living/studying in China the past two years and has become a minor skateboard celebrity. This skate shop/company is using him as the posterboy for their products. Strange but true. |

![]() Amazing Doug with Amazing Reuben nephew! |
![]() |
![]() geez, the vocals are mixed way down on this one |
![]() |
![]() @Hyde: I think that's a thing these kids today like doing. This is the band in the photo, btw |
![]() |
![]() @Gary yeah, and now that I look at their Bandcamp page one of the only things in english says "My Bloody Valentine". now it makes sense! |

![]() (note: I did like the way it sounded!) |

![]() this set is great! |
![]() |
![]() NGH! |
![]() |
![]() I saw a Chinese film about the lead up to WWII in China, and there was a famous Japanese opera singer singing in Shanghai during the occupation. |
![]() |
![]() @NGH: I didn't realize this, but Yoshiko Yamaguchi, who started off this set, just died last September. She was still around last year! |
![]() |
![]() This show is no Occident. |
![]() |
![]() ... so why am I turning red? |
