No matter if you might be a White Man baking White Bread... NEVER, NEVER add milk powder or eggs to your bread dough! ALSO, here in Thailand, I am unable to get great bread flour. When I was up near Dalian, and Harbin, I tasted some of the best bread I had ever had. If ONLY I could get some premium flour from up there!!!!! China, the country, the PEOPLE, the culture, IMHO, had SO MUCH to offer the world, up to 1949. Personally, I don't CRY for Argentina.. But, I DO cry for China. Such a GREAT loss, The CCP. The CCP is such an Albatross. China could have been MAGNIFICENT, today. Instead, China turned into a Marxist-Leninist Surveillance State in which good cooks, such as Wei-Wei, are persecuted. Resultantly, much of Chinese culture, including the Art of Chinese Cookery, is now lost to the world. Good Food can only survive in an atmosphere of DEMOCRACY. Soviet food was never digestable. CCP food is no better.

I think what you smelled was the powdered milk added to the bread, actually.

Have you ever been to China, and have you ever witnessed a cook using a sledgehammer to break beef bones on the pavement outside his restaurant, for Today's Soup? I have seen more cuisine tactics than you will ever know. I am able to shed these recollections easier than water off a duck's back. Our world is becoming ever more homogenous. Preparing soup in the dust on a busy thoroughfare is now, regretfully, a rare sight.

Huiguo Rou, JING Jiang Rou Si, Gong Bao JiDing, MaYi ShangShu, HongShao Tipang, MaLa HuoGuo, etc. But, for the OP, let him get fat on JINGjiang Rou Si...

Although I am sure that nobody cares... I regard authentic Thai, Chinese, and Italian cuisine as all being next to HEAVEN. IF I were forced to stick with just one... Then I would probably opt for Thai cuisine, well-prepared, for the rest of my life. Yet, Chinese cuisine is more varied than any other. Culturally speaking, Chinese cooking is hats above all the rest. NO DOUBT!

Sounds more like a Germantown diet, to me. This is why Bruce Springsteen became so famous. When he was young, he ate only Cool Whip on Wonder Bread. Wonder Bread is a story in itself.

The magnificent Bluefin Tuna are my friends. I never go down on Bluefin. Chinese women, though, sometimes. Yellowfin are not that expensive.

Sometimes I wonder. Does JingThing mean... a. The Real Thing b. The THING from BeiJing

As a perfect example of a White Man, with skin almost as white as the cartoon character, Snow White, I have lived my life, during the past fifteen years, subsisting on my White-man's diet of: Chicken Eggs, Canned Tuna, Garlic, and Chinese Green Tea (premium quality from the high mountains of Taiwan and Sichuan). I am still in perfect health, and I no longer miss cheese, even Stilton Cheese. It's like I always say: Once one relinquishes the bond and obsession with SEXual Healing, then all good things are possible in life. I really think that DIET makes very little difference in our quest for longevity. If you want to live longer, then stay out of White-man's contraptions, such as the OceanGate's Titan tin can. Even if you are a billionaire, you still cannot buy any foods that will prolong your life, appreciably. And, if a billionaire, and smarter than most billionaires, then you will not seek out experiences which will end your life, within a millisecond, when your carbon-fiber capsule implodes. I LAUGH at guys who think that DIET has such a great affect on longevity. Just don't eat manufactured foods, and you will be OK. It has already been MANY, MANY years since I have had a good dish of XingZhou Chao Mifen, in Guangzhou. Unfortunately, while Xi is alive, I will never return to China to taste great Chinese food. So...I gotta face this fact. Xi is very unlikely to go away, anytime soon. Therefore, as you can see, it's just the same old, same old, for me...Chicken Eggs and Canned Tuna. I NEVER eat Salads or any vegetables which are not properly cooked. I mean, I do not like intestinal parasites or intestinal upset. Do you even know what those unwashed, uncooked vegetables might contain, in terms of bacteria and heavy metals? IF I ever returned to Philly, the first thing I would do would be to go and get a Philly Cheesesteak, unlike the OP, obviously. The INSIDER is often humorous, and nice that it is quoted here. I actually know A LOT more than I might let on to you guys. Regards,

For me, celibacy is a no-brainer. After driving Maserati machines in my youth, I balk at buying an old jaloppy. At the same time, I would never entertain the idea of waltzing down a public road, arm in arm, with a 24-year-old floozie. My waltzing days with young Matildas is, thankfully, over. Just my choice. Leave the field when one is still hard as bamboo, is my watchword...

Please don't blame me... I continue to remain true to my vow of celibacy.

I am stating that there is a definite dearth of mangoes in plain view, these days, relative to what was typically common even seven decades ago. Please refer to The National Geographic magazine issues of yore. Dress codes around the world are rapidly evolving. Hopefully, within another few years, we will be able to accept a more gender-unbiased dress code in which mangoes can be displayed proudly in polite company. May I live to see the day!

Maybe this is what you might call,... The Thai Woman's Burden. Rudyard Kipling wrote about The White Man's Burden. And now, maybe, it's time for Thai Women to bear a burden, too. If lights-out, makes it less torturous for her, then... By all means!

Sorry. Did you say a GLUT of mangoes? Most guys would say a DEARTH.

Dear Friends, I don't know much about anything. But, recently, my neighbor gave me two large mangoes. Would you say this is just a gesture of neighborly goodwill? Or, might she be telegraphing some hidden meaning using her fruit as a metaphor? Personally, I have always been sort of on the right side of ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), like Musk. Sometimes, when women come on to me, I just don't get the signal, and resultantly fail to hook up. Musk has admitted that he is an Asperger, although, no doubt, a high-functioning Asperger. Still, I now have these two large mangoes in my fridge. What should I do? Thank you. Regards,

Wow, Man! This is the first time I hit on something that you might not have heard of. Actually, where I am from, this is not such an esoteric part of culture. But, before I mention it, let's have it understood that I respect it. בִּרְכַּת אֲשֶׁר יָצַר asher yatzar "Blessed are You, Adonai, our God, King of the universe, Who formed man with wisdom and created within him many openings and many hollow spaces. It is obvious and known before Your Seat of Honor that if even one of them would be opened, or if even one of them would be sealed, it would be impossible to survive and to stand before You even for one hour. Blessed are You, Adonai, Who heals all flesh and acts wondrously." Hebrew [Presented in Nusach Sfarad; see footnotes for other Nuschaot] ‮"בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה' אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, אֲשֶׁר יָצַר אֶת הָאָדָם בְּחָכְמָה, וּבָרָא בוֹ נְקָבִים נְקָבִים חֲלוּלִים חֲלוּלִים. גָּלוּי וְיָדוּעַ לִפְנֵי כִסֵּא כְבוֹדֶךָ, שֶׁאִם יִפָּתֵחַ אֶחָד מֵהֶם, אוֹ יִסָּתֵם אֶחָד מֵהֶם, אִי אֶפְשַׁר לְהִתְקַיֵּם וְלַעֲמוֹד לְפָנֶיךָ אַפִלּוּ שָׁעָה אֶחָת. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יי, רוֹפֵא כָל בָּשָׂר וּמַפְלִיא לַעֲשׂוֹת:" ========== Hay! How did you like that great lecture for free from Jared Diamond? That guy is a true wizard.

OK. Please let me make this crystal clear! I do NOT mind any technician coming into my house with his natural male scent. I ONLY object to having ANYONE enter my house with ANY artificial scent. As you know, back in the day, perfume, so it was said, was manufactured with cat urine. To me, these days, modern-day perfume that these guys wear reminds me of worse things than cat urine. I would be willing to pay EXTRA to never have to smell that smell, ever again. There should be a RULE that waiters, also, should never don perfume. I do not care how expensive it might be. I love the fragrance of Moo Goo Gai Pan, for example, but not synthetic fragrances. I also never wear synthetic fibers. IN FACT, companies should be more cognizant of this problem. I think that, for example, guys in Sweden do not make house calls soaked in perfume... Or... Am I mistaken?

I totally agree with pristine and pure. Fat chance, these days, with the PM2.5. But, cheap perfume is worse....

My nostrils never lie.

The 3BB guys here are great. No perfume. I guess they have been told.

Personally, I prefer essential oils. I like a woman who smells like.... VANILLA

My topic is not nonsense. My topic is based on reality. In a perfect world, one should be able to ring up your contractor and request a technician with no scent. Some of us are truly allergic to perfume. Or, did you not realize this?

I only object to scent, of any kind. Especially scent which is not made from the excretions of cats.

Kathrine Hepburn graduation photo....Bryn Mawr.... 1928 Minus her hairy legs, of course. "Very good essay! Bryn Mawr looks like a fantastic place, not only because we don't have to do domestic works as laundry, but because of its whole atmosphere. I was really glad when I first dug in Kate's life and found out that she is a History Major like me. Kisses!" What is: "domestic works"?

Bryn Mawr College girls at graduation: One pic says it all.... Class of 1934. Same Pic...Every Year, though.
