    deep frying another batch of Huan's homemade spring
    If you want a really dark crispy outside, fry them
    from frozen.
    That's exactly the way we did them!

    For a more delicate product, thaw and then do the two-step
    frying, one at low temperature and the next at 360-380,
    depending on the moisture and thinness of the wrapper and
    if you like a splash of oil in with the crunch (I do).

    yogurt / somebody trust some on him.
    Trust, eh, become Franco-Canadien all of a sudden.
    Ha! My spell checker missed that of course. I need a logic checker!

    I prefer my non-spell-checked typos, which are wholly
    capricious and tend not to mean anything. Though there
    is the occasional pleasure of found incongruity or even
    congruity.

    Lexi is with Roslind shopping / frozen yogurt; it turns out she
    is not overly fond of it, so I warned her Roslind likes it but
    stand firm and hold out for real ice > cream, preferably some
    variety of chocolate. I have faith that she'll deliver.
    Surely she lived up to her promise.
    Ever the diplomat she came home with a half gallon of chocolate ice
    cream AND a box of lime flavoured frozen yogurt bars on sticks.

    Ah, dollar diplomacy!

    Jam cakes were very common in rural Canada / in pioneer days
    fresh fruit was / completely seasonal so jam cakes were winter
    fare
    And hence those weird thumbprint cookies with jam
    baked in as well.
    Them too. We can only imagine how welcome a bit of jam could be in
    March or April when the last fresh fruit was before the first frost,
    there's no rhubarb or strawberries until May and the apples in the
    basement are starting to rot.

    If the apples are getting mealy and brown in the middle,
    cook them.

    Title: French Fries With Bulgogi And Caramelized Kimchi

    The 1:1 ratio of meat to potatoes is appealing, and the
    caramelized kimchi looks like a good idea. I'd make a far
    more spunky sriracha mayo, though.

    1/2 c Mayonnaise
    3 tb Sriracha, plus more for

    This looks to be a little more than 3/4 mayo, which
    strikes me as white goo overload. It would be a little
    better with real (as opposed to Hellmann's "real").

    ... It is the very height of faux fusion cuisine.

    Faux fusion cuisine is less likely than fusion faux cuisine.
