MASONVILLE, Colo. - Zoey is a Chihuahua, but when a rattlesnake lunged at her owners' 1-year-old grandson, she was a real bulldog.
Booker West was splashing his hands in a birdbath in his grandparents' northern Colorado back yard when the snake slithered up to the toddler, rattled and struck. Five-pound Zoey jumped in the way and took the bites.
"She got in between Booker and the snake, and that's when I heard her yipe," said Monty Long, the boy's grandfather.
The dog required treatment and for a time it appeared she might not survive. Now she prances about.
"These little bitty dogs, they just don't really get credit," Booker's grandma Denise Long told the Loveland Daily Reporter-Herald. -

I cook most of the times and I prefer it too. While it is very convenient to just have take away, it just gets too expensive to do it too often. Also, it's much healthier to eat at home.Originally posted by Meia Gisborn:Ah, dinner for me was two slices of peanut butter and jelly bread, and some fruit. I had a rather heavy lunch at work today, and decided to balance it out with a light dinner.
Not counting lunches at the office, I'd say that I cook about 60% of the time. There are many decent restaurants and eateries around here, and it's very tempting to just go get dinner at one of them.
What about you? Do you prefer to cook or eat out?

I have a sudden urge to cook oyster mee suan during the weekend
-
Is it the Taiwanese kind? I've not tried that and I wonder if it will taste fishy.Originally posted by elindra:I have a sudden urge to cook oyster mee suan during the weekend -
Ya the Taiwanese kindOriginally posted by Wanda:Is it the Taiwanese kind? I've not tried that and I wonder if it will taste fishy.
I'm going to try to replicate the Shiling Market recipe
I dun have it so the sauce will be trial and error
Nope not fishy at all
The stock has dried oysters and scallops and they use fresh raw oysters -
How do you cook it without them sticking together?Originally posted by elindra:I have a sudden urge to cook oyster mee suan during the weekend -
The mee sua is in a starchy savoury sauce so it's sticky anywayOriginally posted by honeymouse:How do you cook it without them sticking together?
Let me experiment and I'll post findings -
damn, now i think i'll go eat the oyster mee sua from shilin for lunch.

I just ate it on SatOriginally posted by stellazio:damn, now i think i'll go eat the oyster mee sua from shilin for lunch.
But I wanna try my hand in cooking it -
It seems that in Taipei, the original version of oyster mee suah comes with pig's intestines.

Oyster Soup with Vermicelli
makes 4 servings
1 pound of oysters, shucked (you can substitute canned oysters if fresh are not available)
2 cloves garlic crushed
2 tablespoons soy sauce
a few fresh basil leaves
¼ pound vermicelli, cooked (rice or wheat)
Sauce A: ½ tablespoon cooking wine or sherry, ¼ teaspoon salt and 3 tablespoons cornstarch
Sauce B: 2 tablespoons cooking wine or sherry, 4 cups stock or water, ¼ teaspoon salt, pepper, 1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
Step 1: Wash the oysters by rubbing gently in several changes of salt water. Blanch in boiling water. Remove and drain . Marinate in sauce A and set aside.
Step 2: Heat water in a large enough pot to cook the vermicelli. While this water is coming to a boil, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a preheated wok. Stir-fry garlic for three minutes, then add soy sauce and sauce B. Boil until thick. Stir in oysters and fresh basil and remove from heat. DonÂ’t forget to drain your vermicelli!
Step 3: Place the warm and drained vermicelli noodles in a bowl. Pour the oyster soup over the noodles. -

But no. The recipe will not give the rich flavor the Shilin Mee Sua has
I have a vague idea how is the stock made but I need to try it out and improvise -
how i go on diet when u all keep talking abt food??!!
yest saw the oyster mee sua.. was so tempted to get it as dinner... but i scare... dunnoe oyster fresh or not
-
I'm so hungry now...i'd love some hot tom yam soup.
BTW, did you guys try the rasam soup at Ramu's last Friday? It's the hot and peppery soup.
I think eating too much spicy curries/Indian food will spoil my taste buds for more delicate Chinese food. -
So far I eat is okOriginally posted by tare:how i go on diet when u all keep talking abt food??!!

If not you can tell them not to put the oyster and just give you shredded chicken ><
