Stonyfield used to advertise itself as being the
yogurt with the cream on top. I didn't care much
for it either.
This is distributed by Stonyfield... We used to get their creamtop
yogurt, but haven't seen it for a while... now this appeared... :)
I met the guy who founded the company - his name
was Steinfeld (get it?) - and was going with a
somewhat gold-diggerish friend of mine, who among
other things had hosted a classical radio series
for WFMT. I liked the yogurt perhaps more than
him, and you know how much I care for yogurt.
I've not seen any ads for it, but then, I'm not watching TV, either... :)
So where'd you find the fairy dust and unicorn poops?
Previous TV watching....
It made an impression, then.
Malay food doesn't generally rely on top-end ingredients,
making it a good budget choice.
They do, though, have quality ingredients, so quality isn't compromised....
It until recently has been squarely in the third
world, and even poor people like to eat decently.
Yup... :)
Onions and garlic being the great godsend.

Um....... ok... ;)
Nicholas used to claim he got that fortune once.
I guess anything's possible with fortune cookies... ;)
Another one he claimed to have gotten was "The person
opposite you is not going to pay the bill."
And accurate, no doubt... ;) Back when we used to take a Motley Crew

due, he occasionally made up for his forgetfulness in
spades.
(some of which were college students and/or poor) out for Sunday dinner
at Yang's, Richard got one that said "you are altruistic and will be
taken advantage of often", which he paraphrased as "you are a born
sucker and will be fleeced regularly"... :) To be fair, some of them
did kick in what they could... :)
Heh. Sometimes even cookie fortunes, like taglines,
can luck into a ring of truth.

Pronounced gway, not gooey. Otherwise, kind of funny.
Not knowing the pronunciation, it did tickle my funny bone... :)

... I could do that. I ain't gonna, but I could if I wanted to.

---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.00
Title: Kasha-patate Sucree
Categories: Vegetables
Yield: 6 servings
1 1/3 c Buckwheat groats 1/4 c Milk
2 c Water 1/2 c Tamari
2 lb Sweet potatoes 1/4 c Vegetable oil
1 tb Butter (optional) 2 Garlic cloves, minced
2 Medium Onions, thin sliced
This dish has three parts: kasha pilaf, sweet-potato puree and garlic
sauce. Le Commensal has remained popular with Montrealers since opening
at
2115 St. Denis in 1977. Kasha Thoroughly rinse the groats and discard
water. In a medium saucepan, bring required water to a boil. Add rinsed
groats. Cover. Reduce heat to low and cook groats for 10 minutes or until
the water is absorbed and the groats are fluffy. Sweet-Potato Puree Cut
sweet potatoes in halves and bake at 400 degrees for 50 minutes, or cut
in
chunks and boil for 30 - 40 minutes, or microwave chunks for about 7
minutes. Remove skins and discard. If using the onions, melt the butter
in
a medium skillet, and add onions. Cook over medium-high heat until the
onions are translucent -- about 4 minutes. Set aside. In a large mixing
bowl, mash sweet potatoes. Add sauteed onions, milk, salt and pepper.
Garlic Sauce In a small bowl, blend tamari with vegetable oil and garlic.
Combine the three parts of the recipe: spoon kasha into a serving dish;
drizzle with garlic sauce. Top with sweet potato mixture. Serve hot.
