Where can I find steamed Chinese buns?
- Miss Needle Jan 19, 2008 01:19 AM
Now that I discover May May bakery is closed, does anybody know where I can find those steamed Chinese buns -- like the ones Momofuku used for his pork buns? I've been making my own version and am devastated that the bakery closed down.
re: scoopG
Yes....Mei Lai Wah is THE BEST! The large buns are known as Cha Show Bao. This place has the very best steamed I've tried from all over the world. Baked is good too but easier to find good ones all over. I waited 45 mins in line last week. Afternoons are the height as people have them as a snack with coffee. And many come and order as many as 6 dozen to take out and they simply run out and you have to wait as they make more!
If you mean just plain buns w/out stuffing, you can buy them frozen at most Chinese grocery stores. For example, Kam Man on Canal street. Also, I've seen them in many of the other Chinese bakeries packed in bags of 5 or 6. They're not flattened like the ones at Momofuku, but perhaps you could slice them open and stuff them that way.
re: chowmeow
Thanks, I think I know what you're talking about -- but those buns are too fluffy for my purposes. I think it's the dairy that was in May May's buns that gave it a totally different texture.
re: Miss Needle
Just wanted to let you know that I was in C-town during the weekend and picked up some buns at the market on Hester and Elizabeth (Dynasty?). I tried two different brands -- one from the freezer and one in the refrigerated section. I tried them side by side tonight. The freezer one was actually closer to the original from May May but still not the same.
They didn't have these at Kam Man for some reason.
These buns will do for now but I am still on the hunt for those Momofuku-style buns.
re: Miss Needle
Sorry I haven't been to Momofuku so I don't know exactly what you are looking for. However, from the way you are describing the bun, it seems almost like a Chinese "Man-Tou" to me. (i.e. A steamed "bread" that has no filling.)
I would have thought Kam Man would have it. You might have to search a few other grocery stores near Chinatown. One place I would recommend is "Deluxe Food Market" (Name "Der Chang" in Mandarin Chinese) at 79 Elizabeth Street. It's a big market that has multiple stalls selling meats, seafood, desserts, sushi, Chinese BBQ, etc. You might be able to find some steamed bun /bun-like items in the refrigerator /freezer section in the middle of the store (I vaguely remember seeing buns there but I am not 100% sure). This market has 2 entrances, one on Elizabeth Street and the other on Mott street so it occupies across a large area. You can check it out next time you are in Chinatown. Maybe they will have the buns you are looking for. Wish you good luck!
re: bearmi
Kam Man did have plain steamed buns. However, for the Momofuku style pork buns, I was looking for the steamed buns that have a pocket to put the filling in. I did find something close, but it was a bit too large and fluffy compared with what I used to get at May May.
Here's a pic of momofuku's pork buns:
re: Miss Needle
What you're looking for is called "He2 Ye4 Bao1" (first word is more like HER without the R sound), and should be in the same section as the refrigerated sections of larger Chinese grocery stores, usually near the bean curd sections for some reason.
He2 Ye4 Bao1 means Water Lily pad wrap. They are for wrapping peking duck, Honey ham, Taiwanese Hamburger.. and so forth. A regular Mantou (steamed bread) would be too tough and hard, not to mention too thick.
re: HLing
I thought in Taiwan (and maybe in China too) it's popular to use Man-Tou to make sandwiches, in which the Mantou is sliced in the middle and filled with eggs or other items.
I understand He Ye Bao is something different but Mantou Hamburgers/Sandwiches are not unheard of in Taiwan.
I have not eaten at Momofuku so I have not seen their "Pork Bun" until Ms Needle posted the photo. For the longest time, I kept thinking it's a Cantonese BBQ Pork Bun we see at Dim Sum restaurants. Guess I need to get out more.. haha.
Check out these links.... I hope you can see photos.. (sometimes wretch.cc doesn't load) .. This kind of illustrates how I had initially (and incorrectly) envisioned the "pork bun" Ms Needle was talking about,,,
re: bearmi
Mantou are really a northern Chinese bing - I know they are found in Taiwan but the Taiwanese have discovered the merits of white bread and numerous ma-pa breakfast spots in Taipei use white bread for their delicious western style breakfast sandwiches (i.e. fried egg with ham and cucumber.) Tai Hong Lau at 70 Mott Street serves a type of mantou (vaguely!) for their Peking Duck which I don't recommend. Miss Needle, is that pork at Momofuko delicious? It looks like too much meat for too little bun!
re: bearmi
Bearmi, In Taiwan or not, we use all kinds of "bread" for sandwiches, just as in the US you have sandwiches made with bread from the soft and fluffy Wonder Bread to the chewy (we hope) bagel. There really isn't a rule somewhere saying that Mantou has to be the sole bread for anything Chinese, or in China, or in Taiwan....what have you.
In a pinch, Wonder Bread with the crust cut off are used for dishes like honey glazed ham because the texture is better for it. I had this long ago in a Chinese restaurant somewhere in New Jersey.
The term "Taiwanese Hamburger" is really not a good description (but some of the restaurants here in the US uses it on their menu), because it's with Pork Belly, not beef. Like Bigjeff and Lau were saying, they are called "Gua Bao" in Taiwanese. Other than that, yes, there are all sorts of western style eats (like Hamburgers) co-existing peacefully with the Chinese snacks in Taiwan.
re: HLing
I totally understand that Mantou is not the only "bread" that can be used to make a "sandwich". In fact, being Taiwanese, the first thing I though of was a "Gua Bao" when Ms Needle was looking for "buns". However, I didn't think Momofuku would be serving something like that because I have never been there (pardon my ignorance) so I asked her if "mantou" is what she was looking for.
What I was trying to say is that it is "possible" to make a sandwich out of Mantou. You have previously stated that "A regular Mantou (steamed bread) would be too tough and hard, not to mention too thick.". I had interpreted it as you not believing it's possible to make sandwiches out of "mantou" so I was tried show you a few pics. (Maybe I misunderstood you in this case!) However, like you have said, Wonder Bread, He Ye Bao/Gua Bao, Shao Bing, etc.. or even rice ("Rice Burgers" from MOS Burger). can all be used to make "sandwiches" in one form or another. You were 100% right with that one!
re: bearmi
Actually, the dish Momofuku serves is a Gua Bao, though they call it something else.
re: chowmeow
Yes I know. From the various postings above I gathered it is a Gua Bao. I was trying to explain my incorrect thought process of concluding that it's a Mantou. It's good that I learnd that it's a Gua Bao/He Ye Bao served at Momofuku. I probably won't be going there any time soon but at least I know they are been innovative!
re: HLing
mmmmm, taiwanese hamburger . . . . . they also call those breads "gua-bao", right?
and incidentally, I had a tong-po pork once (shanghainese restaurant in edison, NJ) that served, instead of a fluffy bun, more like miniature pocket "sau-bing" (sesame-studded flaky pastry that usually encloses you-tiao for the ultimate fried carbo-bomb) with an open top, and we scooped the meat into these deliciously crusty pockets. so friggin' good. anyone know of a place that serves that? I think this place has closed already.
re: bigjeff
well the "taiwanese hamburger" itself is called gua bao...i posted once trying to find it in flushing, but the only place that served it that i know of no longer does (it was one of the stands in the flushing mall)
as far as one serving it in a shao bing, i haven't seen that here (although plenty of places serve shao bing)
re: wadawada
ohh interesting, ill have to try it, thx for the rec (gua bao is my all time favorite taiwanese street food and chou dofu is up there as well)
re: Lau
Oh no! I'm sad that the Flushing Mall stand doesn't serve it any more! From another CH thread, I learned about a place called Province (iirc) which is on Church St. south of Canal. They serve "sandwiches" on steamed buns. The pork one is a gua bao, or very close to one, and is delicious.
re: chowmeow
province is terrible and their gua bao isnt even close to a real gua bao, the bread is all wrong and the pork isnt even close...momofuku is closer to the real thing, but still lacking
re: kobetobiko
i guess im being a bit of a snob bc i havent had one done correctly in NY. I think momofuku's is good and very tasty, but its just different than the real thing.
If you go to a good street vendor in taiwan, its just awesome, the bread is so soft, the pork is unbelievably tender and had this great flavor b/c i think its been simmered in some type of soy based sauce for a while, pickled vegetables have such great flavor and they top it off with this sugar powder stuff although i always tell them to go light on it bc it can make it too sweet. In fact, the really good vendors allow to choose how fatty you want the pork.
re: bigjeff
You mean like the breakfast shao bing filled with sliced aromatic beef, but instead with fatty pork? That sounds good, too. With Tong-Po pork though, I tend to want something less greasy to offset the fat and sauce.
Too bad the good places always seem to close before we're ready. "only the good die young" , they say :)
re: bigjeff
I don't think shao bing are supposed to be used for tong-po pork! It was probably the restaurant's own take of serving it that way. Authentic tong-po pork is not be served shao bing.
In Peking / Shanghaiese restaurant, shao bing are usually served with a plate of stir fry meat - usually pickled mustard green and pork (or beef sometimes), in small dices or juliennes.
re: kobetobiko
ya I can't attest to the authenticity of serving shaobing like that because I'd never seen it before, and I haven't seen it since, but it was the most delicious tongpo pork I ever had. nothing like a sandwich but really, like a pocket, with the shao-bing crisp as can be, seemingly glazed from both the inside and out. I found my old review (11/7/2003) which incidentally, received some backlash because subsequent visits by other CHers weren't as great as mine; the folks I was dining with were in the chinese restaurant business so we really had a first-class "hooked-up" meal.
re: Miss Needle
btw did you try Dynasty supermarket? i could've sworn ive seen them there
re: Miss Needle
If you saw some in Dynasty and it was not great, I'm not sure you'll have better luck in Flushing, although, you never know. I don't go to Hong Kong from either Chinatown. Usually I got to the one On Kissena blvd, behind and across the street from the library. I'm not sure of the name, but it's pretty big and inclusive.
Also, like the other says, check out different bakeries. Besides the all-borough Taipan, in Flushing there's also Maxim's on 40 rd btw Prince and Main, and then 3 or 4 bakeries on the same block on Roosevelt btw Main and Prince. All of which are not part of a chain, I don't think.
Good luck to you and enjoy!
re: Miss Needle
I was in Hong Kong Flushing over the weekend. Unfortunately what I found there was similar to what I got at Dynasty. My quest continues.
re: Miss Needle
Miss Needle - next time you are in Chinatown, check out the plain steamed buns (Mantou) at the Good Dumpling House (formerly Sundou) at 214-216 Grand. 8 in a package for $2.50. While they do not look like the ones at Momofuko, they might serve your purpose. The are more recangular in shape than round. Also, I am sure they are not made with any dairy. As you enter Good Dumpling, to your left is a large take-out area. That's where they are.
re: scoopG
Thanks, I'll check it out.
re: Miss Needle
Miss Needle, I just saw a brand new batch of Chinese steamed goods at New Kam Man, 200 Canal, including what you're looking for, the He Ye Bao, which is written as such in Chinese, but only "Folded Buns" in English. Go straight to the back and you'll see it: clear plastic bag with bright green color on the front for this particular kind. Other colors for other types of steamed goods, including mini mantou, ones made with milk added, as well as egg added. It's a whole line of goods from Lahambra, California's DK Bakery.
Whether it's good or not you'll have to let us know, but I'm assuming that you will resteam it before eating so that it will be softened.
re: Miss Needle
Ah.. I see the photo now... I walk by Momofuku all the time but I still haven't been inside... should have done it then I would know exactly what you are talking about. If I see this "He Ye Bao" around in Chinatown, I will let you know. I suspect it's possible that Momofuku gets their buns from some special bakery or perhaps they make their own... I agree with you that store bought ones might be too fluffy /wet /soft.
re: Miss Needle
Miss Needle, why don't you ask Momofuku where it gets its buns? When I was there last year and asked if the buns were made on premise, I was told "no."
re: gloriousfood
I guess I could try that. Sometimes restaurants are hesitant to let their customers know this information.
re: gloriousfood
The GQ story on David Chang says "a commercial Chinese bakery makes the buns" BTW.
re: kathryn
Yeah, DH subscribes to GQ. I always thought it was May May bakery. Guess I was wrong.
Wu Liang Ye makes my favorite mini-pork buns. They're fantastic. (Not sure how they compare to Momofuku's, as I've not had their version)
re: LeahBaila
yeah grand sichuan on st marks serves them with their cumin lamb and i always get extra ones, but i always referred to them as "man tou", but my chinese is pretty bad, so i defer to Hling
Good news! I was at Deluxe Food Market yesterday and saw the "He Yeh Bao" ( "荷葉包" in Chinese). Unfortunately, they are only labeled in Chinese (i.e. as "荷葉包") so there is no English label next to them. But I am sure if you don't know Chinese you can just point at them and the clerk can get them for you. I didn't eat any of the buns so I don't know what the quality is like. The buns were stored in plastic bags in the refrigerator, along with other Chinese buns and steamed cakes, etc. Again, Deluxe Food Market is called "Der Chang" in Mandarin Chinese and the location is at 79 Elizabeth Street (The "Chinese Bun" stall is the first stall on your right if you enter through Elizabeth Street entrance). Hope you will find them ok (or maybe you already have! :)
re: bearmi
Thank you, bearmi! I'll check it out soon!
re: bearmi
I just found this thread, eagerly read through the drama of the he ye bao quest, and am so happy that Deluxe Food Market came through--it's one of the main reasons I'm still a big supporter of Manhattan's Chinatown. In fact, I've never even bought frozen dumplings from a dumpling-specific vendor because Deluxe Food Market's are so good.
re: bearmi
I was just at this market and also saw the bag of folded style mantou buns in the display case. (Elizabeth Street entrance, immediate right hand side). The receipt for my purchase lists the name "DELUXE MEAT MARKET INC." 81 Elizabeth Street, NY, NY 10013. There's a phone number, but as it is an all Asian staff, there may be a language barrier with no guarantee that they'll be able to interact over the phone. 212-925-5766
Curious to know whether anyone has tried roast pork buns at Dragon Land Bakery (across the street from Sun Say Kai) or Hon Cafe (70 Mott St, kind of kitty-corner from the Fay Da on Mott)? I'm not even sure whether either place carries the steamed roast pork buns. But Dragon Land is always busy when I go by there. Hon Cafe has grand opening signs up on the front window (many items appear to cost about 5 cents more than the going rate in the neighborhood).
re: racer x
i dont even think dragon land has steamed cha siu bao, they have baked cha siu bao, but they are whatever
havent tried hon cafe
Continuing on this thread, I wanted to try making Gau Bao (the Taiwanese hamburger) myself for an upcoming party.
Now I know where to get the buns, but does anyone else have a recipe for the rest of the stuff-- stewed pork, pickled cabbage, peanut powder, etc.? And where do I get that kind of pork belly?
Or alternatively, can I buy them in bulk (eg, 15-20) at any restaurants or bakeries in Manhattan Chinatown or Flushing?
re: emilia
Seems like a lot of Taiwanese have moved back home these days so it gets harder and harder to find Taiwanese cuisine in the NY area.
Here is a link for a recipe. I am sure there are more on-line:
I hope you can read Chinese. I have recipes at home too but I am too lazy to translate.. ha..
As far as restaurants that serve Gua Bao are concerned, I only know that Laifood Restaurant in Flushing ( Corner of Prince St & 39th Ave in Flushing) serves it. I am sure other places in Flushing may also have it. I don't know if Laifood is still around these days (I was there just a few months ago and did indeed order Gua Bao there) since I don't visit Flushing that often these days.
Lastly, here is a thread on a Taiwanese restaurant in Manhattan. I have wanted to go but never made it there. I am not sure if it's still open (or if it offers Gua Bao on the menu) but maybe you can give it a try.
Wish you good luck.
re: bearmi
laifood is still around
but i found a real version of it, go to the Roosevelt Food Mall...its by far the best gua bao ive had in ny its close to the real thing. If u speak chinese u should ask them where they get their buns (gua bao is one of my all time favorite street foods)
here was my review:
re: Lau
Wow that sounds interesting... I will have to check it out next time I am in Flushing :) I am a native speaker of Chinese Mandarin and Taiwanese but I am probably too chicken to ask where the owner gets his/her buns from......We may have to leave it to other folks who are more assertive to execute that task.... ha..
Thanks again for the review... sounds really great!
re: bearmi
haha the guy is pretty nice, i dont think he'll mind! and i dont think he speaks english, so thats good
i was very happy about it, it was even very fresh, i was sort of surprised that he was like its going to take 6 minutes, it was super hot and fresh, i had to wait a couple minutes for it to cool down
re: bearmi
I'm sure I've mentioned it on other threads; you can pick this up for takeout from ku-shiang and it is as similarly bad-ass as the one from roosevelt food mall; big fluffy bun, a whole lotta suan-cai and ground peanut, and deliciously fatty pork belly. $2 for a monster. not sure how good it will be for takeout but maybe they will sell you all the components separately, and you can steam the bread at home just before serving? not sure if they'll do that but . . . worth a try.
As somebody resurrected this old thread I just wanted to report that I did find ones just like Momofuku uses in a Chinese supermarket in Murray Hill, Queens. It's on Northern Boulevard, around 159th Street. Other places sell things that are similar, but not the same as they're generally larger and a bit fluffier.
re: Miss Needle
Miss Needle, can you share the name of the brand and a little description of what the bag looks like or where exactly you found them in the store. I would love to try these buns as well. Thanks!
re: Kerel
Hi. It's been a while since I've been to that store to get the steamed buns. But it was definitely in the freezer section near the red bean paste steamed buns. The freezer was located in an aisle and not on the perimeters. But since I haven't been there in while, they may have moved things around. The bag was a clear bag with red (?) writing on it. Unfortunately, I don't remember the brand name.
re: Miss Needle
Greetings everyone.. Im going to be making some crispy roast duck for my family next week and was wondering if there were any updates on finding "He Ye Bao" similar to those served at the Momofukus or Baohaus.
Im going to check Deluxe food market, but was curious if any developments had arisen, perhaps a bakery that has fresh He Ye Bao. (Anyone friends with David Chang or Eddie Huang?)
re: gastrognome
you could probably just walk into baohaus and ask them, they're pretty nice
re: Lau
pretty crazy that Xiao Ye closed; I never even had a chance to eat there.
btw, walk in to Baohaus on December 20th and buns are $1. would be a good time to ask about supplier (unless they make/steam their own?)
re: bigjeff
Was in Baohaus today for a Birdhaus Bao, and asked the cook about where they get them. He said "Somewhere in Chinatown". I saw some prepackaged baos in the kitchen, so I'll probably venture down to Chinatown to search, or maybe wait till Eddie is in the Kitchen and inquire further.
Funny enough the new cook there was previously at Momofuku Noodle Bar. I recognized him from there and asked him where Noodle Bar gets there buns. Same answer ; "Somewhere in Chinatown"
I'll report back after a trip to Chinatown, and see all of you Monday at Baohaus for $1.00 Bao's.
re: gastrognome
Why not ask at any (non-chain) Asian bakery in Chinatown? Such as Mei Li Wah, 64 Bayard St (on the north side, between Elizabeth and Mott).
re: diprey11
I haven't seen any of the bakeries producing these small "taco" shaped bao's. I did however see exactly what im looking for at Kam Man on Canal today in the fridge section. They are imported from Asia, but seemed relatively fresh.
Kam Man
200 Canal St, New York, NY 10013
re: diprey11
I think those Asian bakeries in Chinatown are mostly Cantonese but the He Ye Bao are used often for Taiwanese dishes such as Gua Bao so it maybe hard to find fresh ones.... but you never know, I guess. Maybe someone on this board will eventually track it down.
re: bearmi
I have a feeling Flushing may be home to a Taiwanese bakery or two whereas Manhattan Chinatown does not.
Time to board the shuttle!
re: gastrognome
never seen them fresh baked, but they are ALWAYS in the frozen section of any typical asian supermarket.
re: bigjeff
agreed. last time i made my (very well received!) david chang-style gua bao, i used the frozen ones from one of the big asian supermarkets and steamed them. my guests were none the wiser-- all gua bao's gone in a matter of minutes ;)
re: emilia
I ended up buying some of these puppies from the refrigerated section of New Kam Man on Canal street. I steamed them up and served them with crispy roast Hudson Valley duck and the typical Peking Duck garnishes. These buns have real longevity. The ones I bought were made in Singapore and not bought frozen.
Reallly, tasty!
Kam Man
200 Canal St, New York, NY 10013
re: gastrognome
Please correct me if I am wrong, but one can ask any Chinese bakery to make a stack of fresh "tacos" (ie, baos). From my past experience, if they have the ingredients (and they do), they will surely do it for an extra buck or so. I presume fresh baos might be superior to frozen ones, but I agree the latter are less hassle and a bit cheaper.
re: diprey11
Ill have to check into that Diprey11. My assumption was that because none of the Cantonese bakeries in Manhattan Chinatown, regularly bake these type of Bao's they would be hard pressed to custom make a small batch for me.
re: gastrognome
The buns you are looking for are steamed, not baked. The dough is slightly different from baked buns. And cantonese bakeries don't usually have the steamers to handle making them.
Try the Chinese "delis" (i.e. the ones that sells prepared dishes in (steam tables)) and sell steam buns. I am pretty sure I saw bags of these buns in the window of shops under/near the tracks in Lower East Side/Chinatown.
Thank you to all of the posters on the thread below! I had the same question, and thanks to y'all, I was able to find them in the refrigerator section of New Kam Man at 200 Canal street (in a green and clear package). Success!

Looking for breaded pork tenderloin sandwiches in Chicago
- Davydd Sep 9, 2006 02:12 AM
I will be traveling to Chicago for a one day business trip flying into and out of Midway and will be in the McKinley Park neighborhood. I would like the opportunity to try a deep-fried breaded pork tenderloin sandwich for lunch that might be convenient. I would appreciate any suggestions.
What am I asking about? My website photo collection tells all.
Breaded Pork tenderloins are popular at the local German and Polish restaurants.
Bobak's on South Archer Avenue near midway airport or Gilmart's on South Archer Avenue.
Resi's Bier Stube at 2100 W. Irving Park Road on the Northside is great. Authentic German food, atmosphere, and bier.
Mirabell on Addison Street a couple blocks east of the Kennedy expressway for authentic German food, bier, and atmosphere.
re: amoncada
Thanks, amoncada. I've been to Bobak's and was duly impressed. I don't think they serve a breaded pork tenderloin per se, but they do serve a lot of pork in different ways. I love that place. Downtown I did have an open face breaded pork tenderloin sandwich at Petros on Randolph across from City Hall. I will check out your other suggestions.
re: Davydd
Your welcome. Did you check out Bobaks butcher shop and grocery store nextdoor? Pretty impressive. I must say however, that as of a few years ago, Bobak's began distributing nationally or at least shipping accross the nation. Anyway, almost without exception you will notice a change in the ingredients when meat purveyors go national. Take a look at Bobak's labels...they're full of ingredients common in mass produced meats. Dextrose, MSG, etc, etc. For much better prepared Polish meats, stick with the smaller local butcher/grocers like Gilmarts on South Archer Avenue or Kurowski's on Milwaukee Avenue in Logan Square. I went to Kurowski's the other day to buy some Kielbasa for a barbacue and was duly impressed with the selection of sausages. The only problem was that there were dozens of varieties that looked exactly the same. The store employees do not speak English so I finally found a shopper to help me out...great stuff I say!
re: Remoulade
Remoulade, I know if you go outstate Illinois you will find them. What I am finding in around Chicago is a Bohemian interpretation of the breaded pork tenderloin sandwich. Instead of being on a sandwich bun they will more than likely be served with toasted bread. They are probably a tad bit closer to their Weiner Schnitzel roots.
re: Davydd
I grew up in Ottawa, IL about 70 miles SW of Chicago and regularly ate pork tenderloins just like you are looking for; However, I have never found them in the Chicago area. Don't know if you are up for a roadtrip??
re: marciab
I've been known to make a road trip or two for a breaded pork tenderloin sandwich. ;) Check out my web site. But I wll be in Chicago for a short 8 hours on business so Ottawa or other outer reaches are out this coming Tuesday.
re: YoYoPedro
Yes, I know. In fact if you go to my tutorial website you will see I have experimented with cut pork loin as well and found there really is not a lot of difference in taste. They are still pounded out. Notice, reluctantly, I did post a pork fritter as well just for educational purposes--Tony's from Angola. Pork chops, pork loins and pork tenderloins all come from the backside of a hog. Pork tenderloin and pork loin cuts seem very similar but pork chops don't have the same texture. I do need to go to a butcher and get more specific information.
re: Davydd
It wouldn't work this time around, but for your future quests, if you are into auto racing, RoadAmerica in Elkhart Lake, WI, may be the only racetrack with a food stand serving butterflied pork loin sandwiches at the track. Each food stand is individually manged by different community groups, and only one stand sells the pork loin sandwich. Very tasty, served with BBQ sauce. I don't remember it as being breaded, however.
re: YoYoPedro
They sell a breaded pork tenderloin sandwich at the Indianapolis 500 Race and I would place even bets the new Iowa race track will have them next year when the IRL races there for the first time. Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet might have them but I have not gone there.
re: Davydd
Ugh, IRL! I guess that's a whole 'nuther thread... ;-)
re: LikestoEatout
I would imagine some of the neighborhood bars in Chicago might have them as well but they are the kind of places you would never find in a web search. Kind of the reason I am asking. :)
re: Davydd
Have you tried a post to the lthforum.com? It's Chicago centric and I believe this was covered there a year ago.
I don't think you will find a classic rural Midwestern pork tenderloin sandwich anywhere in the Chicago area. Some places produce terrific dishes using pork tenderloin or cutlets, but they differ in many details from the rural classic. Grad school in the 1960s was in one of the ag disciplines at Purdue, so I know what this sandwich is supposed to be.
Polish restaurants often produce a good breaded pork tenderloin that will never be mistaken for the rural classic. The best of these that I have tasted was snitched from my wife's tenderloin at Angelica's (3244 North Milwaukee).
Mexican restaurants do some amazing things with pork pounded almost tissue thin in their Milanesa. The best sandwich of this type I have had in Chicago was a cemita at Taqueria Puebla (now at 3619 West North Avenue). Look at http://lthforum.com/bb/viewtopic.php?... for an illustration. This is a great sandwich.
The closest to Chicago that I have had a classic pork tenderloin sandwich was at a family restaurant on US 24 just east of US 41 in Kentland, IN. Unfortunately, the restaurant changed owners, and the new owners switched to some prebreaded flaked-and-formed food service junk.
re: Eldon Kreider
Eldon, That was one nice looking sandwich.
Here's what I got so far but the locations are a stretch for a lunch stop from South Chicago.
The Silo Restaurant
Lake Bluff (way north)
Taqueria Puebla
3625 W. North Avenue (Mexican variation but looks good)
Next to City Hall in the Loop (been there, open face, huge)
Ottawa had the best, but I don't know where they currently are being served, in the old days Vic's and the bowling alleys were greeat.
That being said, as much as I hate to say this, the closest I have found in Chicagoland is at Culvers. Yep. Give it a try with mustard, pickles and red onions.
re: swsidejim
Thanks for the information. Unfortunately, Ottawa is a tad too far for this trip. However, I often drive I-39 between Rockford and Bloomington on my way to Indianapols. Anything along that route would be appreciated as well.
yeah ottawa/marseilles is far out there, I live in marseilles, and it is about 160 miles per day round trip commute. However the beer, and pork sandwiches are cheap and good. I-39 I believe is over near Lasalle/Peru, which is only about 10 miles from the Ottawa exit. Also if you like cajun food there is a great spot in Utica, near I-39 called Cajun Connection, a guy from Louisiana Cajun Ron does cajun the best I have had in the Chicago area, he puts Heaven on Seven , and the Maple Tree Inn to shame.
re: swsidejim
I'm a huge fan of Ron's also, great food and a great friendly place. It's half way between my house and the in-laws in Peoria so it's an easy stop for us. He's about 5 miles east on Rte. 6 which is the exit off I-39 before the big bridge. As far as tenderloins go, as I said before, I'm about 40 miles west of Chicago and can get a decent tenderloin at the Blackberry Inn which is a little bar west of me and south of Elburn on Rte. 47
re: LikestoEatout
Cajun Ron is a character, I like the fact that he visits each table and talks food.
Ive never been to the Blackberry Inn in Elburn, where on Route 47 is it? My daily commute takes me onto Route 47 , and Im always looking for a good spot to eat dinner to break up the long ride home.
re: swsidejim
Yes, Ron himself is worth the trip there! Blackberry Inn is at the corner of Main Street and Rte 47 about 3 miles south of Elburn. Fisherman's Inn in on the opposite corner. Blackberry is mostly a bar with good food, small eating area. Good ruebens and breaded pork tenderloins.
re: LikestoEatout
thanks, I have seen it when I went to Fishermans Inn a few months back, didnt know if it was any good... I am going to give it a try one of these nights on the way home.
Down to Chicago and back in one day. Success on the tenderloin, sort of. I asked the construction superintendent I met with on site where a good breaded pork tenderloin place was. He called his secretary and had her call some restaurants he thought had them and to confirm. We found one not three blocks away on Archer west of Damen. The place was the New Archview Restaurant. The breaded pork tenderloin was billed as a hot pork tenderloin sandwich. It was a breaded pork tenderloin served open face on top of two slices of de-crusted white bread. It was served with mash potatoes and was covered with gravy. It tasted good. What I didn't expect for $6.30 was a bowl of split pea soup as a starter. The split pea soup was super.
Chicago seems to serve breaded pork tenderloins open face with gravy. I understand this is the Bohemian eastern European influence. Petros on the corner of La Salle and Randolph in the loop was the same way as was another restaurant, the Crystal Bohemian in Westmont. I posted a picture on my www.porktenderloinsandwich.com website.
re: Davydd
My first exposure to breaded pork tenderloin was at home growing up, my mom served it with mashed potatoes, and gravy., not as a sandwich.. I still sometimes order the sandwich when out, and order a side of mashed potatoes, and eat it without the bun...thanks for the heads up on the location in the city.
re: swsidejim
After having lunch at the New Archview we drove around some in the McKinley Park, Pulaski and Midway Airport areas and saw many more restaurants that looked like good candidates for a similar open face breaded pork tenderloin. They are probably there but just not findable on the Internet. The restaurants would most likely be neighborhood home style cooking, eclectic menu, breakfast/lunch/dinner place, independent family owned of eastern European ethnicity.
re: Davydd
The open face breaded pork tenderloin with gravy is pretty common in the independent family run restaurants all through Chicago and the suburbs, I didn't learn to love it in the sandwich form until I went to college in NE Iowa. Thanks to Davydd for tracking them down!
Hit the Blackberry Inn Yesterday in Elburn for lunch..., and had the Pork Tenderloin Sandwich. Not bad, the pork was 3x the size of the bun, and flavorfull. I had it topped with mayo, lettuce, tomato, onion, and Tobasco... good eating for around $6.00 w/fries.
Also $2.50 bottles of Bud.., and 3$, 1 pound hamburgers.....also other Sunday football specials.
re: swsidejim
Duly noted but just a tad far out. I don't know if I will ever be in that vicinity.
The Tribune did a story almost exactly 1 year ago on pork tenderloins and where to find them in the Chicago area. I did a google search and the article is reprinted at the following link, but I'm afraid all the places mentioned have either come up in this thread already or are nowhere near Midway, although there are mentions of places in Peru and Rockford, and you did say you occasionally cruise I-39: http://www.lpths.org/bob_and_marjorie...

San Francisco whiskey festival features Placerville and Apple Hill organic ingredients
Kuchan works with organic farmers in the Placerville and Apple Hill area of the Sierra Nevada foothills. He says they hesitate to use anything that doesn't grow on a tree or on the Earth somewhere. Tours are available of the CCOF Organically Certified ...
As this publication has pointed out in previous articles, there is a rising trend currently in the United States toward artisanal, organic spirits. And one place where you can sample a large selection of these increasingly popular drinks is at the upcoming Whiskies of the World Expo on San Francisco's waterfront.
The event attracts more than 1400 guests each year to sample various spirits from around the world, as well as the chance to meet those responsible for making them.
For 2012, the expo features three full ballroom-sized decks of tasting booths and other features. Hundreds of Whiskies and Artisanal Spirits are available to sample, with some from the immediate San Francisco Bay Area and others from as far away as India and Australia. In addition, hosted on the top deck will be the annual Cigar and Whisky pairing.
One of the featured distillers this year is Belmont-based Old World Spirits. Started by Davorin Kuchan, a Croatian-born third generation winemaker and master distiller, the company is dedicated to producing world class artisanal spirits and alcoholic beverages.
Kuchan says the company has been focused on being organic since the beginning...

With so much talk of fajitas this week (Robert Sietsemas review of El Cantinero and his response to our response to the review), its only fitting that a recently published tome, The Tex-Mex Grill and Backyard Barbacoa Cookbook, by Robb Walsh, contains an entire chapter about their history and current state. Fajitas, you may know, get their name (little belt) from the diaphragm muscle known as the "outside skirt." Sonny the Fajita King Falcon claims to have come up with that name when he was an East Austin grocery-store butcher and first sold them in 1969, but a Texas A researcher found that Rio Grande Valley butchers used the word as early as the forties, and the dish's origin was probably in the diaphragm tacos that ranch hands were paid with. But heres the interesting thing: Outside skirt steak, the cut that makes the best fajitas, has all but disappeared from retail meat markets.
Walsh goes on to explain that after tariffs were lifted in 1988, the Japanese began importing what is now 90 percent of outside skirt. As a result, meat suppliers are now pushing other cuts (flaps, hangers, boneless short ribs, etc.) as fajita substitutes. Some restaurants use inside skirt it isnt as tender as the outside skirt, so meat processors soften it up by treating it with enzymes, salt, and phosphate, which requires marinating the meat in a commercial vacuum tumbler. And Walsh says it gets more complicated than that.
There isnt enough skirt steak to satisfy the demand for fajitas, which is why the meat scientists are experimenting with other cuts. These mechanically tumbled, enzyme-treated meat cuts are all sold interchangeably under the umbrella term beef for fajitas. You can sample the faux fajita meat at any taqueria in Texas.
So there you have it even if youre enjoying skirt-steak fajitas, youre more than likely not eating the cut that gave fajitas their name, and you may well be eating meat thats been chemically treated. Just so you know!
And now, to continue the Tex-Mex discussion, heres a reader tip.
I randomly ordered food tonight from this spot, Taco House, and what do you know their soft tacos came in FRESH flour tortillas. this may actually be unprecedented in NYC. Half my family is from New Mexico, and I have long talked about the shocking lack of fresh flour tortillas in the city. there are a ton of places that make fresh corn tortillaswhich is what youll see in authentic mexican restaurantsbut none that I had ever heard of that make the fresh flour version, which is a staple of tex-mex. there ARE those ghetto chinese/mexican fresh tortillas places, but what they make is more like an instant version of the processed tortillas youll find in supermarkets. the genuine article is much more pastry-like, thick, chewy on the inside, translucently greasy on the outside, and finished by grilling. and these guys had the genuine article. the food overall was just OK, but the tortillas thing is huge.
Taco House confirms that it makes its own flour tortillas. Anyone as excited about this as our tipster is?

Running Wild
May 2000
Released: 2000, Gun
Rating: 5.0/5
Reviewer: Waspman
The gods of German speed/power metal are back! It's been a couple of years since Rockin' Rolf unleashed Running Wild's masterpiece The Rivalry and we've been (o.k., I've been) anxiously awaiting new material. Now that it's here, the question is, does it live up to the Running Wild reputation for greatness (especially Under Jolly Roger)? As a certain beer-swillin' S.O.B. says - HELL YEAH!
All of the elements that you love about Running Wild are present and accounted for on Victory so pull out your swords, hoist the mizzen mast and batten down the hatches (and then do whatever the hell else it is that sailors do), 'cause this is one wild ride! Oh yeah, we've got speed, bitchin' vocals, powerful riffs, (and then more riffs!) stories of heros, kingdoms, battle, and other assorted piratical themes. Opening up with "The Fall Of Dorkas", Victory instantly gets grabs yer attention and doesn't let up 'till its done. "When Time Runs Out" is classic Running Wild, moving along at mid-pace, with a crushing riff, preparing the listener for the speed assault that is "Timeriders" and "Into The Fire". Of course, the band handles these songs easily, sounding tighter than ever while Rolf bellows his pirate stories over top. "The Guardian", "Return Of The Gods", the list of impressive songs just goes on and on. Damn, this is awesome!
"Tsar" continues the epic legacy that "Ballad Of William Kidd" upheld on Rivalry while the brilliant title track ("Victory" - duh!) kicks righteous ass! But I gotta stress, this ain't some simple rehashin' of past glories. No no no. While the album stays safely within the confines that Running Wild has built for themselves over the years (almost 20 years!), there are some surprises to be had. Rolf tries some new vocal patterns in "Victory" that you'd never think that his gruff voice could handle (2:23-2:53) while the band goes for a twin guitar melody attack in "The Guardian" (4:20-5:00). Elsewhere, they lighten up a bit to cover the Beatles' "Revolution". Yeah, I hate the Beatles too, but Running Wild makes the song passable. Besides, it's only 2:56 of the entire album so you can't really complain too much! I could go on forever about how cool this album is, but I won't 'cause I'm outta breath…I'll just end here by saying: AVAST! BUY IT ME HARTIES! (sorry, got caught up in the moment…)

Three buses depicting Fort Worth's art museums and iconic works from their collections recently hit the streets as part of a partnership between The T and the museums to encourage the public to "Ride the T" to the Cultural District.
"The Cultural District is one of our most popular destinations; nearly a half million people visit each year," says Dick Ruddell, president of The T. "We wanted to remind the public that riding The T is an easy and affordable option for visiting the museums."
The museums are offering bus riders special discounts with any of The T's local, day, weekly, monthly or regional passes -$2 off admission to the Modern and 10 percent off in the museum stores in the Kimbell and Carter the entire month of November.
Kimbell Art Museum director, Eric M. Lee, commented, "The world-class museums in our community are here for all to enjoy, and riding The T is an easy and environmentally friendly way to get to them. I eagerly await catching a glimpse of the stunning newly designed buses on the streets."

WASHINGTON (AP) - As the Obama administration defends its widespread collection of phone records, a senior U.S. intelligence official says that the program helped disrupt a 2009 plot to bomb the New York City subways.
But that assertion raises as many questions as it answers because court testimony indicated that the subway plot investigation began with an email, not a phone call.
Over the past two days, The Guardian newspaper and The Washington Post have revealed classified documents showing how the National Security Agency sweeps up phone records and Internet data in its hunt for terrorists.
Afghan-American Najibullah Zazi pleaded guilty in the 2009 subway bombing plot.
Court documents and testimony indicated the break in that case came when Zazi emailed a Yahoo address seeking help with his bomb recipe.

Thomas Sowell: Guns save lives
But that trade-off is the real issue, not the Second Amendment or the National Rifle Association, which so many in the media obsess about. If guns cost more lives than they save, we can always repeal the Second Amendment. But if guns save more lives than they cost, we need to know that, instead of spending time demonizing the National Rifle Association.
The defensive use of guns is usually either not discussed at all in the media or else is depicted as if it means bullets flying in all directions, like the gunfight at the OK Corral. But most defensive uses of guns do not involve actually pulling the trigger.
If someone comes at you with a knife and you point a gun at him, he is very unlikely to keep coming, and far more likely to head in the other direction, perhaps in some haste, if he has a brain in his head. Only if he is an idiot are you likely to have to pull the trigger. And if he is an idiot with a knife coming after you, you had better have a trigger to pull.
Surveys of American gun owners have found that 4 to 6 percent reported using a gun in self-defense within the previous five years. That is not a very high percentage but, in a country with 300 million people, that works out to hundreds of thousands of defensive uses of guns per year.
Yet we almost never hear about these hundreds of thousands of defensive uses of guns from the media, which will report the killing of a dozen people endlessly around the clock.
The murder of a dozen innocent people is unquestionably a human tragedy. But that is no excuse for reacting blindly by preventing hundreds of thousands of other people from defending themselves against meeting the same fate.
Although most defensive uses of guns do not involve actually shooting, nevertheless the total number of criminals killed by armed private citizens runs into the thousands per year. A gun can also come in handy if a pit bull or some other dangerous animal is after you or your child.
We need to recognize the painful reality that, regardless of what we do or don't do about gun control laws, there will be innocent people killed by guns. We can then look at hard facts in order to decide how we can minimize the number of needless deaths.
But that is not the way the issue is presented by many in politics or the media. Every story about an accidental shooting in the home will be repeated again and again, while a thousand stories about lives saved by defensive uses of a gun will never see the light of day in most newspapers or on most television newscasts.
More children may die in bathtub accidents than in shooting accidents, but you are not likely to read that in most newspapers or see it on television newscasts. Some in the media inflate the number of children killed by counting as children the members of criminal teenage gangs who shoot each other in their turf fights.
Many seize upon statistics which show that Britain has stronger gun control laws than the United States and lower murder rates. Yet they ignore other countries with stronger gun control laws than the United States, but which have much higher murder rates, such as Brazil, Russia and Mexico.
Even in the case of Britain, London had a much lower murder rate than New York during the years after New York State's 1911 Sullivan Law imposed very strict gun control, while anyone could buy a shotgun in London with no questions asked in the 1950s.
Today, virtually the entire law-abiding population of Britain is disarmed - and gun crimes are vastly more common. Gun control laws make crime a safer occupation when victims are unarmed.
The gun control crusade today is like the Prohibition crusade 100 years ago. It is a shared zealotry that binds the self-righteous know-it-alls in a warm fellowship of those who see themselves as fighting on the side of the angels against the forces of evil. It is a lofty role that they are not about to give up for anything so mundane as facts - or even the lives of other people.

This morning, a young man walked into Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., after murdering his mother in her home, and proceeded to shoot and kill 26 other people, including 20 children, before killing himself.
What else can I say, girls, other than, "How could anyone do such a thing?" I have no answer for that, because I truly can't imagine. But I know we need to talk about it—discuss our grief and our anger and our pain. And then, we need to start talking about change. What can we do for the families? For the victims? For the community of Sandy Hook and Newtown? For our own communities as they wonder if they're next? And what can we do to ensure that something so terrible never, ever happens again?
I don't have answers, darlings, but I do know that talking will help. Talk to your parents and siblings and friends and teachers. Speak honestly and openly. Don't judge others for what they say, just listen and respond. Remember, everyone's opinion is valid and deserves to be expressed, whether you agree with it or not.
If you're having trouble dealing with your grief, please take a look at this post, and talk to a parent, counselor or trusted adult.

Swing Lyrics - Ani DiFranco
She came to and her
Whole life was how she remembered it
She had a mouth full of fur
And she was laughing
She parked her hearse across
Three spaces posted motorcycles only
And jumped out shouting
What the cuss could make a nice girl like us
Feel so lonely?
Are you weary as water
In a faucet left dripping
With an incessant sadness
Like a sad record skipping
And an ugly and ornery
And shadowy dread
Lurking like a troll under the bridge
Between your heart and your head
Please dumb blind kind sir
Lend little miss listless a bit of Christmas
She's been a real good girl
But now she's stuck here
The world is so little and still
Mysterious and ominous as ever before
Like an unmarked bottle full of pills
On the shelf right next to the thing
You were reaching for
Swing the groove 'round here
Where I can reach it
When I get my ass back on track
I'm gonna need it
Swing shift till I get the money
To buy me and my baby a moon full of honey
Then I'm gonna turn the nagging voice
That follows me to bed and say
You suck.. blah blah blah

Joel Fuhrman, M.D.: Eat for Health; Lose Weight, Keep it off, Look Younger, Live Longer; Never Diet Again! Book One - The Mind Makeover; and Book Two - The Body Makeover (Gift of Health Press 2008)
Why I would recommend Eat for Health and following its advice:
The book starts with a statement:
"This book is dedicated to all Americans suffering with chronic disease, who were told their problem was simply genetic and that drugs and interventions such as angioplasty and bypass surgery are the only answer.
"Even though it is well accepted in the scientific literature that nutritional excellence has powerful therapeutic application, this information has not filtered down to the average American.
"People need to know they have a choice. They have a right to know they do not have to suffer and die prematurely of medical conditions that are easily prevented and reversed via nutritional excellence.
"So if you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease, peripheral vascular disease, reflux esophagitis, chronic headaches, irritable bowel syndrome, autoimmune disorders or other chronic medical conditions and you desire improved health, vitality and to free yourself of medical dependency this book is especially dedicated to you with the hope it will transform your health."
One of the major realisations for most people who discover the path of ultimate health is how much information has been hidden from us. If natural, easy and cheap health solutions are so powerful, why haven't we heard about them before? This confusion is precisely the reason why many people, unfortunately, dismiss a lot of this information as hoax before taking the chance to study it.
As an answer to this, in the foreword Dr. John Abramson, a clinical instructor at the Harvard Medical School and the author of "Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine" makes the following two statements:
"We need to get to the bottom of the dysfunction in our national approach to health. The politicians don't want to address the real issues because most of them are dependent on contributions and other support from the healthcare industry Most of the 'experts' don't want to get to the real issues either, because they too have financial ties to the medical industry; same with universities, with medical journals, and even the media."
- p. iv, Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Eat for Health
"When the drug and other medical industries invest in research, their primary responsibility is not to optimize your health, but to maximize their shareholders' return on investment. [...] The end result is that the 'knowledge' that your doctor receives from the sources that he or she has been trained to trust is distorted in two ways. First, the evidence is overwhelming that the conclusions presented in even the most trusted medical journals are biased in favor of their commercial sponsors. And second, in the same way that plants grow towards sunlight, the 'knowledge' produced by commercially sponsored medical research grows towards the medical interventions that have the greatest potential to generate profits instead of the greatest potential to improve our health. This may sound like dismal news, but understanding the truth points the way to enormous opportunities for you to take back control of your health" (p. v)
According to Dr. Joel Fuhrman, phytochemicals detoxify cancer-causing compounds, deactivate free radicals, protect against radiation damage and enable DNA repair mechanisms.
The relationship between calories and micronutrients is important because: "Consuming calories without the presence of antioxidant vitamins and phytochemicals leads to a build-up of waste products in our cells because the body can't remove normal cellular wastes without nutrients."
- p. 45, Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Eat for Health
The macronutrients are those foods we are able to get calories from and thus utilise them for energy. Our three calorie sources are fats, proteins and carbohydrates.
Dr. Fuhrman recommends a higher percentage of healthy fats in the diet than some raw foodists, namely 30% of calories from fat (for moderately active individuals not wishing to lose weight. David Wolfe's recommendation in 'The Sunfood Diet Success System' is the same (although with a caviat that different people may need different amounts).
In the opposing camp are famously Dr. Douglas Graham, who recommends a maximum of 10% of the daily intake of calories from fats (even for athletes). He is joined by Frederic Patenaude, who claims he became ill as a raw foodists eating too many avocados.
"If you are slim or desirous of gaining weight, a larger amount of seeds, nuts and avocado is appropriate. [...] ...even though we need to consume a significant amount of the lower calorie, very high micronutrient foods, some of these higher calorie foods are also important to fuel our caloric needs. [...] Most healthy, normal weight individuals who exercise moderately and are in good shape can eat 3-4 ounces of seeds and nuts a day. That will bring their fat intake up to about 30 percent of total calories. Believing fat is the villain is wrong. Eating a bread, potato, and pasta-based diet is not as healthful as a diet higher in fat, where the extra calories (and extra fat and protein) come from seeds and nuts. Eating more beans and whole grains can also be helpful for a person who wants to gain weight. Do not be tempted to eat more animal products to gain weight and don't get sucked in by the myth that you need more animal products to build muscle."
- p. 135, Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Eat for Health
Joel Fuhrman agrees with most raw foodists about the fact that too much protein is both unnecessary and bad for you. This leaves carbohydrates as the main source of calories (together with fats). Dr. Fuhrman also mentions calorie-restriction a few times, although he does not explain much about the topic. For more on the topic, see: 'Dr. Fuhrman's nutritional pyramid'.
Phase 1: Increase the amount of high-nutrient foods
This part of 'Eat for Helath' was for me the best part of the book. In it Dr. Fuhrman discusses the unconscious reasons why we find it hard to eat healthily. The main emotional challenges he lists are as follows:
What we usually call hunger is an uncomfortable feeling but it is not - contrary to popular belief - only due to lack of calories. To satiate hunger we have to do four things:
1) to consume an adequate amount of food
2) to consume enough nutrients
3) to get calories... but according to Dr. Fuhrman if you have enough food in amount and nutrients you won't feel the need for the third hunger quenchers: calories. (Note, warning! I'm not sure if this is true. Personally I seem to get tired even on a high-nutrition diet if it is low in calories... So ensuring enough calories could be really important. It is worth researching this although it could work differently for different individuals.)
4) to overcome addictions
What Joel Fuhrman calls 'toxic hunger' is what people commonly experience as hunger. It is not a true, healthy hunger, however, but rather a collection of detox symptoms of addictive and toxic substances. From my personal experience this point of view is absolutely true. My experience of hunger dramatically changed on a raw food diet.
Symptoms of 'toxic hunger':
"... you won't be entirely eliminating sodium [salt]. To do that is impossible because all foods, especially vegetables, contain sodium, and this natural sodium adds to their flavour. Up until now, you have probably never noticed this natural sodium because when we over-stimulate the taste buds with too much added salt over a long period of time, our taste receptors can't sense lower levels of salt. [...] The good news, however, is that you can re-train your taste buds to be more sensitive to slat when you decrease its presence in your diet. [...] When you get rid of the salt habit, your food may taste bland for a few weeks, but, within a few months, you will find that your taste buds, which were deadened by the overuse of salt, have gradually gained their sensitivity back. You will discover tastes that you never knew existed in natural foods. Even a simple pear or a leaf of lettuce will taste better." (p. 115-116)
"If you have a digestive disorder, blending and juicing vegetables can be a great aid because you can increase your consumption of healing nutrients, even though your digestive capacity might be sub-par. Since eating a low-phytochemical, low-fiber diet goes against nature's design and causes most digestive disorders, eating a high-nutrient, vegetable-based diet often resolves digestive problems quickly. People suffering from irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, hemorrhoids, and reflux disease often see improvements after just a few weeks of juicing and eating blended salads. However, sometimes diets have to be modified for individual uniqueness or medical problems [...] that require fresh fruits and raw vegetables to be gradually introduced into the diet."

Book Description:
Merlyn Britannicus, leader of the colony known as Camulod, is faced with the task of educating his young charge, Arthur, future King of the Britons. Fearing for the life of his nephew when an assassination attempt is thwarted, Merlyn takes Arthur and his boyhood companions Gwin, Ghilleadh, and Bedwyr, to the ruins of a long-abandoned Roman fort far from Camulod. Once there, Merlyn realizes it's time for Arthur to become worthy of the sword he is destined to wield later in his life-the mighty Excalibur.But beyond their idyllic hiding place, forces threaten the tenuous peace of Camulod. In Cambria, the death of Arthur's father Uther has left his people leaderless, and in Cornwall, Merlyn's enemy Peter Ironhair is gathering forces to destroy all Merlyn holds dear.And Merlyn himself is struggling, because in order to make his dream of a united Britain real, he must put the person he loves most in the world in mortal danger-he and Arthur must return to Camulod.

iNga buys an iPhone
Several weeks ago, I wrote a column called "Where's the Prozac for Techno Depression?" about feeling like I'd been left in the digital dust. That was largely because I HAVE been left in the digital dust. My younger son had insisted that the only way to overcome techno depression was techno skill acquisition.
I got quite a few responses to that column from the similarly techno afflicted, but one particularly delightful one asserted: "Your younger son is dead wrong. The cure for techno-depression is
." He went on to conclude: "I won't surrender my land line until they pry it from my cold, dead hands!" Definitely a kindred soul.
So you can imagine how hard it was for me to write back and confess that a mere day before, I'd gone to the Dark Side. I bought an iPhone.
The AT&T sales child tried to dispatch me post-purchase by telling me the phone was totally intuitive and I should just take it home and play with it. Hah!
The fact that I was back at the AT&T store for the next nine days every morning when they opened with yellow notepad in hand tells you how intuitive these phones are.
But I do have to say: my old phone should be shot. And the guy at Nokia who designed it should be shot, too. I feel far less bad about not being able to work the thing. The iPhone is infinitely exponentially stratospherically friendlier.
I'm getting the hang of my new phone, but it hasn't been without its truly terrifying moments. One feature I really have to be careful with: When trying to send texts (yes, me, texts!) my fat little fingers keep hitting the little icon next to the space bar and messing up my whole message.
The third time it happened I started yelling bad words at the phone. (I have the frustration tolerance of a gnat.) Next thing I know the bad words show up on my screen. "Oh [a different bad word]!" I said, simultaneously realizing that that little icon is voice recognition.
And sure enough, that word appears on the screen next to previous ones. Sweat breaks out on my forehead. How to get out of this message? (The choices were "Send" and "Done," as opposed to the "Delete this message in perpetuity" option I was looking for.) I'm really going to have to behave myself. This phone knows a lot of bad words and it's not afraid to use them.
I felt better when I learned that a much younger friend couldn't figure out how to get voicemail off her iPhone for the first six months. This might not seem unusual except that her husband was key in developing CDMA technology for cell phones. So, you might ask, why didn't she ask HIM for help? Well, first of all, because CDMA technology has nothing to do with actually accessing voicemail. And second, because her techo-geek husband has become about as patient attending to her tech-support needs as my techno-geek husband. Which is to say, downright surly.
It also assumes that he himself can figure out how to get voicemail, a fact not in evidence. She reports that whenever she asked for help and he couldn't figure it out, he merely handed it back to her and said, "Poor design."
