Not too long ago, a short distant past for sure, people used to cook food and then eat it. And enjoy the food and each other's company.

Now, we worship the food and where it came from and how WE prepare it and how IT is presented and PLEASE respect the INTEGRITY of those who have GROWN the food for YOU.

Now, we have to take pictures of our chef like dexterity in our home kitchens to display our peacockian "colors." One upping each other in an eventual culinary dead end.

Big deal. You cooked a meal. Why do you want us to know?

What's the difference in posting a food pic or fish pic?

Big deal you caught a fish. Why do you want us to know?

Thank you Joe. I appreciate it when someone takes the time to express sincere thoughts and feelings. I especially enjoy when those expressions evidence kindness. It must be a special life you live. I hope you enjoy tomorrow.

I'm polishing up my cooking and photography skills so I can start a food blog. After I get some advertising bucks rolling in, I can tell my boss to KMA. Next I hope to roll out a show on Food Network, tentatively called 'Cafes, Canteens and Cafeterias'. The premise is this: I drive around the country in a Crown Victoria eating unique foods at out-of-the-way, non-chain restaurants frequented by people over 60. I'll tell lame jokes, laugh at them harder than anyone else, and make semi-sincere compliments to the cooks. Then I launch a set of cookware (nessware), write a couple cookbooks (ness does Italian, ness does Rice, etc.), roll out a signature line of sauces and spice mixes (ness BBQ sauce #4, ness rub #3). Finally, I launch Church of ness.

So, consider yourself lucky, JoeD, to see the birth (some would say afterbirth) of my plan for global domination.

That looks really tasty. Did you have a little sauce on there? Can't tell for sure. I've been stir frying more lately, and need to mix it up a little on the sauces. Wish I could figure out the 'brown sauce' they do at the Chinese restaurants -- like on beef & broccoli. I think it's soy and beef stock and some other stuff. Recipes I've seen on the web always seem to be off base from what I'm looking for.

I made the sauce using soy sauce, fish sauce, low sodium chicken stock, rice vinegar, mirin, garlic, ginger, corn starch, and water. Sometimes I add oyster sauce. Other times I add a little sesame oil. Every once in a while I add sherry.

That sounds fairly like my go-to stir fry sauce: 1 T soy sauce, 1 T white wine or sherry (don't have mirin on hand), 1 t rice wine vinegar, 1 t sugar, 2 t cornstarch. I'll change that up with fish, oyster, chili sauce.

I think the brown sauce I was talking a bout is probably soy sauce, beef broth, oyster sauce. It's savory, not sweet or sour.
