Two facts:
I'm a culinary professional and I lived in Asia for years.....
(and mother didn't raise a fool)
I only go there for spices, herbs and produce you cannot obtain from a regular grocery store. 
And my language was Thai....

I had a bad experience with Chinese food growing up and had sworn off all things Asian for 15 years.....Until I got to Bragg. I was forced to go to Asian Express by some friends and have since fallen in love with Asian food, particularly Thai. We have experimented and come up with a few favorite dishes over the years.
Try some Gaeng Ped Neur (red curry with beef-similar with this, but we use beef Milanese, not chuck eye steaks). Start out with Ka Nom Jeeb (or Jeep, how ever it's spelled).
Also, thai chicken noodle soup (chicken broth, coconut milk, green curry, etc) is worth perfecting!

Brother, if you think Asian Express is good Asian cooking you are in need of some serious culinary intervention........

Nope, but that was my gateway back into the fold. Have refined my pallet since then (a few trips to East Asia have solidified my love of Asian food). Having said that, if you*forced* me to an intervention, I wouldn't say no.

I looked up the cost of those cooking pans and almost fainted...

I've had fried grasshoppers, crickets etc, you can't really taste them, unless you eat them raw.
And when they do start producing them here the government will step in I'm sure.......

First Smoke of 2015
Wife's birthday today so while she was at work I smoked dinner for her. These were baby backs and they were really meaty. And tasty.

Made a German Chocolate Cake and frosting, from scratch, yesterday. Wound up using shredded coconut since some people seem to have a dislike for flaked coconut. It was most excellent!
