Not the flakes, but I’ve used dried ho fun plenty, when I can’t find fresh or can’t make the noodles the same day. I’m kind of curious what you would use the flakes for. Is there a certain dish that uses this, or is this just a different size just for those who prefer a more square noodle vs the long ones.
EDIT: Out of curiosity, I’ve tried looking up recipes online, and most seem to point to these square noodles used in Thai stir-fry noodle dishes like pad kee mao or pad see ew.
I hated it!
Yeah, I don’t think it can be saved. I might just hafta toss it. 
I have enough pork belly hoarded for times when husband is away, but couldn’t pass this up.
Seems like a good deal, especially since it didn’t involve shipping or large pieces.
I can’t seem to find a price per pound for “heritage” pork belly. What is it going for where you shop?
I’ll be linking a pork belly thread, if only for me.
I agree, that looks like a good price. Comparable to what I pay at the Chinese market for conventional, and unwrapped.
Also new-to-me French green lentils. Fortunately they were out of the brown lentils I bought last time, and I hunted in the bulk bins.
They cost the same as a package of red lentils! I’m hoping to try a few new lentil salad recipes.
Don’t spill them on your countertop, or you’re going to lose them!
I had to zoom in to see if they were mung beans 
Enjoy! I love french lentil salad, and the texture is very nice with Puy, but I generally use whatever brown/black lentils I have in stock (otherwise I’d never end up making it 
)
Too late!
Do you have a recipe you can share? I made some once last week with brown lentils, but I am wanting to explore.
I saw some black “beluga” lentils, but thought they might be wasted on me.
Yeah the beluga and puy are way more expensive than i bother with given my lentil use.
I’ll find the recipe proportions for you. I tend to wing it
I like a lentil, blue cheese, pear and bacon salad that used to be sold at a gourmet shop in Toronto, similar to this idea.
Not new to me per se, since I shop at Wegmans relatively regularly for my clients, but I really love their chuck & brisket burger patties. They are flavorful & not totally overground.
We used to get TJ’s organic ground beef, but the last time we purchased it it wasn’t great.
I’m going there this weekend - will have to look them up. I usually make my own burgers from 80/20 or 85/15, but will definitely try them!
Despite having just been spoiled by our friend / your namesake 
with freshly ground chuck burgers in FL, these were really good.
Former CH Jlawfoodie gifted me an old-fashioned, hand-cranked grinder eons ago… should check the basement for it 
Pictures proves she makes a mean boigah. 
Crappitall…now I want a bacon cheezeburger.
Go get it!
Bugak seaweed chips. I’m used to sourish yuzu and wasabi Japanese seaweed chips, and these are a bit sweet instead of sour, but they’re not bad. They’re dried instead of fried, so not oily. $11.99 at Canadian Costco.
In a quest to find a brand of coffee I like after having found one in Japan that I drank for at least 10 years, I bought this at La Bonita Supermarket here in Sin City. I like a VERY dark roast and this fits the bill.
At first, I tried making it in a French press as well as other ways, but wasn’t satisfied with the taste. I then tried letting 15g (approximately 1/2 oz) of it steep overnight in cheesecloth or unbleached teabags submerged in 150ml (approximately 5 oz) or so of hot water and got the flavor I was looking for.
I had been drinking it hot, but from today I changed it to iced coffee. In addition to it being very good, it’s also quite reasonable at $3.59 (on sale for $3.29) for 10 oz.
BTW, in Japan I drank MJB Original Blend. Though MJB exists as a brand in the US, their original blend is not sold here. I’m a bit leery of trying another of the MJB coffees and not liking it, so at least for the time, I’ll stick with this coffee.
How would you use Chili Lime tuna? I bought a can. I don’t like the colour. Not too fond of the taste. I drained off the liquid and added a little mayo. It’s edible but I probably won’t buy it again.
I also purchased the citrus pepper version, which should be okay in a sandwich or pasta dish.
