 RH> Sounds like something we have to try. We've made the seafood pancake a

 RH> I'll hunt up our recipe and post it shortly.

 BC> Cool, i'd like to see that recipe.  My mother gave me the recipe for

OK, we found several versions on line but I'll dig out the one we've
used several times.

The closest Asian products stores to us are in Raleigh; we're in Wake
Forest--where the university started as a college, then took tobacco
money and moved to Winston Salem, becoming a university but keeping the
WF name, as my husband says, "just to confuse everybody". We have a
daughter out in the Phoenix area that has a good sized Asian supermarket
near where she lives--and is a frequent shopper there. Other daughter
lives just south of Salt Lake City but doesn't do as much ethnic
cooking; don't think her husband is that fond of it. We raised our
daughters to be very ethinically diverse in their eating; it helped that
their dad spent 26 years in the Army in equally diverse places.

 BC> favorite aisles are produce and tea.  The produce aisle has

 BC> leaves) at an affordable price.  I chop them up and throw them in

The produce can be very interesting. When we were in HI, we encountered
bitter melon, a favorite ingredient in Philippino cooking. I never tried
cooking with it as, after trying it (at a pot luck), Steve didn't like
it. OTOH, I did like it but I just had it at church pot lucks and such
like. He tried durian at a Cooking echo picnic and likes it; I can just
as soon not have it, given a choice which now makes me wonder if he's
changed his mind about bitter melon. (G)
