holy shit soepom. everything in this thread should be dedicated to you and your mom.

nah not true. just look at MoreFire's awesome post! ^^

i think we've got quite a couple of epicureans here. i love how the thread has grown.

ps. the word "epicurean" always makes me think of "pedicure". which then makes me think of toe-jam. which then isn't quite so appetising...

A few days ago. Sorry Jan. SF, I promise.

No tears, a few glisten sweatdrops, but I had to run out of the shop to prevent some things that could've happened (but didn't). That's why my bowl isn't in the pic.

soepom i suspect this thread makes us look more like hedonists than epicurians!

(and i will post pics when i finally get on to that tiramisu.)

a simple xmas lunch cooking at home:

snapper with lemon butter riesling and potatoes and green beans.

i cooked it for a touch too long and there wasn't enough lovely sauce. i blame it on the cookies.

The Hat and NORMS definitely makes me miss Pasadena/Alhambra/Rosemead area. I used to hit up NORMS off of Alhambra at least once a week. Good stuff.

Norms was my favorite restaurant when I was a kid.

It's one of those childhood things. Our fob parents took us there a lot because Norms is and was the only White business within 2 miles+. Literally.
