I’d leave them out if you can’t find them. It’ll still taste good. Are you in Seattle? They’d be at any Asian grocery like Uwajimaya or Mekong Rainier Market.

I love the taste of lime leaves, and nothing tastes quite like them, but I don’t use them when I make regular Thai basil chicken.

You can always up the garlic, basil or hot peppers according to your tastes.

Let me know how they turn out!

MMMMMMMMMM,…this is quite a dish!

i so love the flavours combo you have used!

I’m loving eating bacon and butter again and so glad I realized this while my kids are still young and developing!

It’s true, that’s a very big breakfast. More like a weekend brunch kind of meal that will keep me full, and full of energy, till a small dinner.

That’s a lot of food for breakfast!! This will be my dinner for tomorrow night!!

You have a COOL foodblog!!

It also comes and goes in waves.

I lived in California back when the Stueve Brothers (founders of Alta Dena Dairy) were the premier raw milk advocates among farmers (long before McAfee who really hasn’t been on the scene that long) and Alta Dena was America’s Dairy (even though they sold raw milk products). It was the same old thing back then (I believe the Stueves went out of business about 10 years ago).

I didn’t get to meet Taubes (he didn’t hang around Saturday night and left before i could catch him on Sunday) but I did get to go out to dinner with Steve Phinney, Jay Wortman, and a whole lot of the other folks at the conference on Saturday. A really nice community.

Good for you! Jimmy Moore was posting updates on Twitter as things were happening.

Stephan Guyenet just posted about his talk with Taubes and his dinner with Taubes and Eades.

I haven’t heard about an attempt to shut down buyers’ clubs — wow. Where did you find that out? Or were you part of a buyers’ club that was shut down or threatened?

A lady who was a part of the shutdown club was telling me about it.

It seems to be a nationwide (North American) memo that has gone out politically, “lets destroy the raw milk movement.”

I haven’t heard about an attempt to shut down buyers’ clubs — wow. Where did you find that out? Or were you part of a buyers’ club that was shut down or threatened?

John, interestingly, I stopped by PCC (Green Lake/Aurora branch) over the weekend and noticed that the little raw milk sign, which used to say something about the change being in the interest of customer health and safety, now says something about PCC making a decision in terms of liability.

That would explain the state attempting to shut down buyers clubs.

Unfortunately my schedule was screwed up for the day and I missed the talks.

With the lawsuits over the spinach fiasco in the past, the companies who insure larger grocers wanted to severly raise costs to companies who want to carry certain higher foods.

I’m sure there was a cost benefit analysis made for continuing to carry raw milk vs. not as well as other items like spinach. The blowback for discontinuing to carry spinach is much higher than that for milk.

I wish I knew just how much more it would cost for that particular commodity (I’m not that high up the chain), but it must have been substantial for WF and PCC to act this way.

Did you go to the Taubes talk? How was it?
