I'll see if i can take some more photo's :p

Right now for dinner though, bottle of white wine. Work has not treated me well today. Spent the whole evening having to cook a menu i've never cooked before for table after table with just one untrained trainee. Whole hand and forearm covered in burn blisters. Hint. Do not absent mindedly drop some steak into a smoking pan of oil :( Might go wild and have some cheese strings. Other than that i think anything more strenuous would make me collapse. Not cut out for this bullshit.

Do you make that all in a wok stovetop?
I need to get one and start doing stir fry.

No, my wife made it all in a big SS pan on the gas stove then transferred it to the induction hotpot. You could cook it in the hotpot but it's easier preparing it in a bigger space first. If my gas stove ever dies, I will rake out the money for an induction stovetop oven. They are pretty badass.

We have an Induction stove top & you're right, they are cool. The Gee-Wiz factor is high with company, but I would much rather cook over gas. I like the heat control/distribution better.

Couldn't agree more. You cannot beat the convenience of an induction hob. Spray, wipe, clean. But theyt suck for actually cooking with unless it's simply heating things in a saucepan.

Rather envious, although i'll NEVER drink guiness from the can, plain nasty. Gotta be draught.

I have to say though, could you enlighten us on what the asterix after 100% natural is in regard to :D

They use the term 100% Natural* as a marketing technique to avoid the designation of Organic. Which is federally regulated. 100% Natural has no agreed upon definition. Most of what Open Nature claims is already federally mandated such as no hormones in poultry. Stuff like that. Typical Corporate double speak.

I thought you hit the ignore button with me, carne seca?!??! You just showed me that you took me off your ignore list... Bravo!

Open Nature is a trust~worthy brand and I would know. Organic is too expensive during the recession. Fuck you

I'm green as fuck and I know my food, too!......I have used about 5 plastic bags from my Grocery store in the last 6 months. I use re-usable cloth bags

I trust open nature!

.....And I pour my Guinness into a glass first! I don't drink it out of the can!

I know about the whole notion of avoiding the label organic for legal reasons. I was just interested in what the packet actually stated with regard to the asterix.

And pouring it into a glass makes no difference. It's still canned guinness..

So now there is an asterix next to no added hormones.. All i am asking is a VERY simple question. If there is an asterix, then on the abck of the apcket there is a corresponding asterix explaining why the asterix is there. So in the case of the whole roast chicken, there is an explanation on the back explaining the asterix on the front. It is simple curiosity, pointless you might say, but lord it's proving difficult to getting a simple answer to a simple question.

Welcome to America. LOL

Found this:

The U.S. federal government doesn't allow hormones to be used in the raising of poultry or pork. Therefore, while this attribute might serve to communicate to consumers who aren't aware of this law that the chicken breasts and the chicken in the sausage line are free from hormones, we can't call it a positive brand attribute of 'Open Nature,' since it's merely a marketing message because federal law doesn't allow hormones to be used in raising poultry or pork in the first place.

To Safeway's (Open Nature) credit, it puts an * at the end of this attribute, and offers a label note communicating that federal law prohibits the use of hormones in the raising of poultry and pork
