Gary posted that vid along with something he cooked a while back and now I automatically think back to it any time he posts some of his delicious looking food.

Every time Gary post Miso or Pho I get insatiable cravings for soup I know cant get without making a 4hr round trip. Even if I want to make it myself, I'd have to drive to find a decent market for ingredients and it still wouldn't come out right.
@curious2garden, is your doggy OK or at least recovering?
That's a long drive and sounds like an even longer night.
Mine scared the hell out of me yesterday at the lake.
I threw his tennis ball a little farther out than usual and when he went to grab it he disappeared.
He came up and went back under again. I was ready to dive in (believing he'd aspirated) but he paddled his way to shore with that proud look on his face.
To my surprise, he had his tennis ball AND a golf ball. That little shit intentionally went under to retrieve that second ball
Off to sear some salmon for din

Dang - I probably would have been wet in the rescue attempt only to find out he was retrieving another ball.Every time Gary post Miso or Pho I get insatiable cravings for soup I know cant get without making a 4hr round trip.

Lol thanks. But whatever he is eating that makes him THAT happy, I want to try.
It’s a broth made with bonito flakes(dried fish flakes)and kombu(dried seaweed) then you add miso(fermented soy bean paste) and tofu, along with mushrooms, and wakame(more seaweed) then garnish with green onions.
I love it, but no one else in my family does. So I only get the eat it every once in a while. I’m trying to get it down to a single serving. Or else I end up eating it all day.

It is really good. Go to an authentic Japanese place(not Chinese or Korean), I bet you'll love it. I'm like Gary, if it was around I'd eat it all day

I like seaweed but no one else around here does, even my vegan sister hates it.
Looks great as always.
And now my stomach is growling. Thanks a lot Gare!

The Chinese place I usually go to had some and it was pretty terrible, I love their fried squid and stuffed mushrooms though. I went there yesterday while I was out of town and it was a pretty disappointing spread this time. The only meat dishes they had were chicken, no squid or kimchi at the buffet either. Then they didn't even give me a fortune cookie.

We have a Chinese place in my cow town. I like it but only for Chinese; they offer a buffet if you wish and they also have sushi and other Japanese food. The Chinese is great, the Japanese they serve sucks. I don't get tacos in an Italian restaurant either

I used to drop in at this Chinese buffet in another city up until the last time I was there. Whatever the fuck spice or whatever they use that has a kind of licorice flavor to it was put on EVERYTHING about 300 times stronger than it should have. I nearly gagged.

i dated this girl for a while that was ape shit for crab legs. every time we went out, i knew where we were going, the chinese buffet that keeps a big steam table pan full of crab legs.
i didn't mind, i liked their egg foo yung, and they made sticky rice for themselves, but they were happy to sell you a big bowl of it, instead of the regular americanized stuff they had on the menu.
and she'd usually screw my socks off afterwards......

Big time. Like all I could taste was that and it was on everything. I couldn't eat anything on my plate because it all tasted like that crap except the squid. Which I went back to the buffet and cleaned them out of.

You are almost correct on all counts! But it is actually Star Anise. Not to be confused with regular Anise. Both giving a licorice taste but both 2 completely different plants. My wife uses it all the time. Super awesome when paired with sezechuan peppercorns and chicken. My favorite. Unless of course you knew that and just forgot the star part and I'm a dick.

can't it be both? i knew it wasn't the shit you buy in a little can at the grocery store, but i didn't know it was "star" anise

The restaurant certainly could use either or both but the star anise is the one that's in the 5 spice powder. And is about 2 times at strong as regular anise.

Yup. I do love star anise, but I can see it being too strong if over used.
