Noice! Do I spy a Furry paw cleaning the squid?
I like to put ginger, garlic chives, chopped water chestnuts and finely diced bamboo shoots into my dumplings.
While you've been Asian crazy I've been salad crazy, using up the contents of the fridge before we head west...we've been chomping our way through whacking great plates of vegies.
'Tis indeed a paw of the Furry variety.
We're gettin' all Skippy tonight... pan fried hunka hunka T-bones and salad.
A Furry's got to get back in touch with his inner caveman after cooking Asian 2 nights in a row!!
Roadkill BBQ? Possum Pie and emu omelette?
I've eaten possum.
Tastes like rancid moose marinated in mouthwash.
Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasty.
Personally, I'd be all good with road-killBBQ.. I think the g o b b l e r is onto something!
Nice one. I had a sudden hankering for homemade gow gees tonight after seeing your photos and then you went and mentioned rancid moose roadkill. Gee thanks goddess!!!

By the way what shrooms did you use, Goddess? I've got porcini in the pantry but may as well pick up some woodear when i get the gow gee wrappers. Also, recipe for your calamari salad please? Ta.
Razzle.
The shrooms were from my Asian grocer. I have no idea what variety.
As for the salad, I had some thai basil left over from the gow-gees, some asparagus, blanched and refreshed, some leb cukes, some rocket, some baby spinach.
Furry cut and scored the calamari, added some salt and ground Schezhuan pepper, and fried it off in sesame oil until curled (about a minute).
Whacked this on aforementioned random salad vegies and added a dressing of 1 part red wine vinegar to 1 part sweet chilli sauce and a squeeze of lime juice. A splash of fish sauce and a julienned carrot completed the Thai theme!!
Nice one. Thanks Goddess.
