While you are on the Japan theme, Darrell Corti and Rick Mindermann just went on a food excursion to Japan. Expecting new discoveries to show up in the store in the not too distant future.

So sorry to hear about Michael! Sending good vibes.

Ruth, if you were to plan two romantic memorable food days in LA what would you suggest?

Wishing your husband a speedy and full recovery! How wonderful that your friends sent you that incredible dinner. I will definitely seek out Iki Ramen the next time I'm in LA.

Going to Tokyo soon and was thinking of trying Sushiso Masa but 35 different fish seems a bit much for me. Last time I went to a fabulous sushi place in Tokyo it was 15 fish and I felt stuffed after 9 and forced myself to eat three more and then I was done.

Such an interesting seafood soup/stew recipe. Just a totally straightforward typical ordinary everyday Italian tomato sauce, so clearly it's the quality of the seafood that takes it to such great heights. That and the business of refrigerating the fish for four hours and then cooking it right out of the fridge--I wonder what that does but I imagine it makes a great difference in the texture if not also in the flavors.

I hope Michael is on the mend. I found myself wondering how I can get the care package without the hospital stay...you have lovely friends.
