I won the thread, but felt like I hardly posted in it. I'll make sure this thread is the best thread. A glorious thread, that is the envy of all the other threads. I'll make sure thread is always put first. #MakeAvaloungeGreatAgain
I think I haven't seen an Avalounge thread in a while that you didn't win
If I ever win one of these I'm going to customize a participation ribbon for myself and video tape a grand presentation for you all.
#MakeAvaloungeGreatAgain is good ****
I can't remember who asked me if I had seen Scrapple before but I checked it out. Damn good stuff. I can see why it's a cult classic in this area of the world.
I would have won that thread if 3 million posters hadn't posted illegally.
Go really, really light on the fish sauce if you choose to go that route. If you live by a korean market, I can provide you with translations/advice for stuff you may want to get there.
Pretty much nailed the soup. Of course not by Korean standards but by snow white standards it was a good chicken noodle soup.
I agree with JB, go light on the fish sauce, it is potent in sodium with the anchovies. A lot of Asian sauces are so definitely watch out for that in the future. What I learned from my Mom is that mushrooms is another highly valuable vegetable in creating flavour. I personally dislike the texture of mushrooms, but I use it in a lot of sauces and soups to get the flavour (I just cut them in big chunks to remove them).
If Finland is a lot like the time I went to Italy, there are local butcher shops around town. If you're passing by one, go in and ask for pork bones, I guarantee that they should have a bag of bones you can buy for cheap. JB is 100% accurate on the Ox tails, but it should be more expensive as there are dishes which use Ox tail.
Not at all. Absolutely zero butcher shops. There might be one in the old market hall but meat counters are exclusively in supermarkets.
Wow this is actually true when I think of it. When I lived in Kouvola there used to be butcher shops a few years ago, but they're out of business or in old market halls. Haven't seen a butcher shop during my five years in Jyväskylä.
Should try to find one. Luckily I have some moose meat from my stepdad and some mushrooms in the fridge

Granted that Finland is quite far away from Italy in Central European standards, but surprised that there isn't some of that though in Finland. I think Poland is becoming the same way, as it is turning more into corporate in the big cities than keeping the family ran locations. The smaller cities should though preserve that type of uniqueness. However, I spent around two months in Italy because my of relatives live there, and every big city had local shops (taking about Milan, Rome, Florence, Tuscany). There were no such thing as supermarkets or big entities besides pharmaceutical companies.Wow this is actually true when I think of it.

are there any ski areas that aren't crazy overpriced near Denver?
I wanted to take my lady up to the mtns for valentines but wow - Any place wants like $300+ a night.
Anybody seen La La land? I know someone was talking about it a couple of weeks back. My mom wants to go and I would normally go because it's a Best Picture nom, but I'm not sure I can take in a musical. Then I have been told it's not that big of a musical. I'm torn.
