It's probably the most (in-)famous German children's book. This one is particularly cruel: http://www.fln.vcu.edu/struwwel/pauline_dual.html

Agedashi. It's a simple broth with scallions and deep-fried tofu. Doesn't sound all that spectacular, but it was delicious.

Really? I've never heard of it. I'll have to do a little reasearch. That's pretty close to where I am.

as long as you're in solvang, you might try the olive store, if it's still there. nothing but olives.

corning (n. of s.f.) probably has something similar.

I totally dig those kinds of stores. I love olives too. I taught myself to make a pretty damn good Puttanesca sauce for pasta. As good or better than I've had in any restaurant. I jarred it up and sent it to relatives for Christmas. I even made my own label with a nice picture of a street prostitute on it .

Here's an excellent soup site.

This is HUGE! I lived in Boston for a few years, and there was this little street cart where they sold these delicious chicken sandwiches. It was absolutely my favorite thing to eat for lunch. Basically, they took a thin boneless, skinless chicken breast and grilled it right there in front of you. Then, they'd put a slice of meunster cheese on it and let it melt over the chicken. Then, while that was happening, they'd slice up a fresh tomato and grab some steamed green beans and this homemade bread that was kind of like an English muffin (but not quite--a little more substantial) Then, they'd put the chicken (with melted cheese) on one side of the bread, and spread this green pesto-looking hot sauce on it. Then they'd put on some salt and freshly ground pepper, tomato, green beans and the other piece of bread. It was a delicious sandwich, and I've always wanted to recreate it. I could pretty much do most of it, but the hot sauce had me stumped. The hot sauce was really the key to the whole damn thing. I'm 90% sure this is it. Dude, you're my hero.

Ah, glad you got the message. Thanks again. I'm really excited about this. I've been telling my wife about those damn sandwiches for the last 7 years.

Off the topic of soup for a minute. Ever tried Mee Krob?
